Is anyone else getting kind of sick of Pink Floyd?

Floyd aren't overrated they deserve to be so successful, just there's a lot of prog bands out there that don't get the respect they deserve. The Final Cut is the most depressing thing i've ever heard though, but that's because it has so much feeling meaning to it and Waters is a genius even if he is an ass to people.

Come on, the popularity of Floyd is based on gimmicks and not on their music. Would "Money" have been a big hit without the cash registers? Would "Another brick" been a hit without the children's voices? I DON"T THINK SO! F*ck Waters, give me a band of real musicians. Like for example Yes. Hmmmm...

How can you all focus on Waters' paranoias when the PF history is made of at least 4 different periods? Nobody knew anything about R. E. Waters before The Wall. Do you think The Piper is overrated? Why there are 3 PF albums in the PA top 10? The only pop things they have done are on Obscured by Clouds that's a movie soundtrack composed in 3 weeks. And not bad at all. Does anybody think that Atom Heart Mother is pop? Or a saucerful of secrets? Or interstellar overdrive?

nope.

Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals and The Wall are among the best sequential group of albums in prog.  Only Genesis and Yes achieved such consistency of brilliance over such a number of unfailingly great albums.

Not that it matters in any way, since some people here seem to be unable to distinguish between using the occasional expletive in a song and writing a post of few lines where every other word seems to be the 'f-word'.

Nice to see people who are not able to express opinions without peppering their posts with expletives! It must make them feel so very  grown-up! Just as grown-up as Roger Waters perhaps: "f**k all that, we've gotta get on with these" (Not now John), "You f**ked up old hag" (Pigs), "I said: "f**k it then, take the kids back to town, maybe I'll see you around" (Go fishing) You know that Not Now John was written by Gilmour, right?

Are Pink Floyd overrated?
