Is Pink Floyd... Boring? - Progressive Rock Music Forum

Yeah, I think they are kinda boring, but still OK. What is really boring - it's all those bands which are trying copy PF. For example, this highly praised Negative Zone stuff bored me very much.

I havent listned to Pink Floyd in about nine months. However, I own all their albums, theres better stuff to listen to than PF.

i started with pink floyd.. with dark side of the moon... all i can tell is that at first i found it boring too.. but then i loved firsts albumes featuring syd barret... then i liked more prog atom heart mother and ummagumma .. and believe me.. one i listened to dark side again... and i felt EVERYTHING... i was like "oh my god this album is overraaated" but then i heard time's solo of david gilmour was so f**king impressive ... the solos of gilmour are the more sentimental ones.. i think they really comes from his soul...
now this is my favorite album

i think pink floyd is liked principally for gilmour's voice but the music is in second plane.. and not everyone understands ALL what floyd can give... once you understand it -believe me- you will not stop listening to it

I like them because they are boring Wink

In my opinion, Pink Floyd is one of the least boring bands there is.

As much as having an incredible sex life. As much as having fun. As much as being hugged. As much as reading Gary Larson comics. As much as "Sheep" fits into Michael Bolton's repertoire.

Pink Floyd boring?...Oh please !!...Not even the garbage middle sections in Echoes and Atom are boring. Not even the almost soundless intros to their epics are boring. Not even most of their almost musicless songs in The wall are boring. Somehow, Floyd always managed to keep their music interesting. In my opinion, their music was always inspired (until most tracks in their latest two albums) and full of true feelings. No cheezy random noodling like some others whom some people may never call boring.

Want to listen to something really boring and uninspired, take the full Tales from topographic oceans, take anything from the Flower Kings calalogue and anything from Le orme. Now that's boring and ordinary. After giving this stuff several chances, I am never able to keep the attention. I lose focus as soon as I hear any guitar line from the Flower kings. I feel pitty for the random songwriting in "Tales" and I feel sick from listening to the ultra cheezy and artificial pseudo prog by Le Orme.

That my friends is boring. Pink Floyd, no matter how simple and quiet it may be, is always entertaining, keeps your attention and after a few listens it gets adictive.
