It took me 30 years to *get* Atom Heart Mother, but now it's one of my favorite tracks (some of the non-orchestral live versions are pretty good Wink) and Mr Parson's Breakie contains some pretty cool music between the sound-effects, however, I'm with you on Several Species - that got very old very quickly.
What?

I love Pink Floyd, they're not boring at all IMO and they're my favourite prog band and I don't give a sh*t if they're not as prog as other bands or technically great musicians, I still enjoy their music a lot more than most other bands.

In the end the love you take is equal to the love you made...

They are a real band, not self indulgent and foolish (ELP comes to mind).

Deep lyrics and concepts - thinking mans music - intelectual - which is not always common in prog (though some try to be and fool many they are just fake).

Pink Floyd is authentic and are not clones (another prog hallmark - the attack of the clones).

Atmosphere lets you think in their world they create instead of bands who neglect atmosphere and the thought proscess is only the sounds you hear.
