Why?
What is the point?
What do you gain by doing it?
Is the band going to change?
Will the fans agree with you and stop liking the band?
 
Do you post in every thread on every other band you do not like? How about Yes... do you not like them? What about Atomic Rooster? Focus? Van der Graaf Generator? Hawkwind? Hawkwind without Lemmy? Hawkwind without Calvert? Hawkwind without Turner? Gong? Gong without Hillage? Gong without Allen? Gong without Moerlen? Gong without Smyth? Gong without Holdsworth?...
 
If you don't like a band, fine, good for you, congratulations, whoopee! 
Personal taste is like that, it's personal.
 
So, now what? Join the Unappreciation Society? Become a card-carrying member of the Official Unfan Club? Where is this going?
 
I don't get it.
 
I don't understand the need to tell people that like a band that they are wrong.
 
Is this a problem with the band, or the fans that support them "religiously"?
 
I don't understand why you would expect fans not to react - what do you think they will to do? Nod and smile?
 
Ouch
 
Well, the guy certainly changed my mind about Pink Floyd. I just wrote a five star review review for Meddle ( the 444th by the way ) and I'm going to go back and retract any good things that I said about it. Yes sir. Just watch me.

Probably because they aren't...

Listen and go to sleep. The ones not liking the band as me i think we deserve as much respect as the ones who loves them, and if we want to talk about how much we dislike the band Whats the fuss about it?
For me it depends on what arguments someone uses for disliking the band. Mostly it all comes down to personal taste and I the discussion will easily get very useless because of people saying "band X is just boring, why don't you people see that?", and the next person to say "No, band Y is boring, why don't you see that?" and on, and on, and on...

were talking about holy grial with a christian?. I feel people liking PF taking their defense almost religiously!!
Pink Floyd has got a huge fanbase, and I think it's pretty normal to defend your favorite band when people whine about them. Someone who loves DT and is sick of all the bashing will probably defend the band "religiously", someone who loves VDGG and is annoyed by all the people whining about Peter Hammill's vocals will probably defend the band "religiously"... this goes for any big band.

But precisely these actitude makes me wanna go again saying what i feel.
If you feel you should, you could at least give some decent arguments.

Two albums Meddle and Animals. Listen to them a few times a year. Never get sick of them. I will review Meddle now because that's what I am listening to right now.

No. If anything, I think PT deserve to be more popular. I think they deserve the level of success that Radiohead and Tool have: popular whilst still maintaining their integrity. I mean, they are well-known amongst the prog community, but the NMEs and Rolling Stones of this world either ignore them or don't know they exist. I think its criminal that a guy of SW's talent gets ignored for twenty years or however long he's been in the game. 

Back on topic, I enjoy Pink Floyd as much as the next guy, but I think of them the same way I think about Star Wars in terms of sci fi cinema. You have your Dr Who, Star Trek, Blade Runner, Battlestar Galactica, and all anyone ever goes on about is Star Wars. I feel the same about Floyd. They're a great band, but ask a non-progger, and the only name they can come up with is Floyd (or maybe Yes).
Hello, mirror. So glad to see you, my friend. It's been a while...

Hey You is one of the few songs post-Atom Heart Mother that I DON'T get tired of.

Vitaly is the guy with the big mustache... Incidentally ,he is featured here with his band X-Religion (from Uzbekistan, so right up your alley).

Many thanks, prog mistress!Clap That's exactly I'm looking for...you know I'm a sucker for prog from 'small' countries!! Moreover, from your review, it seems very interesting! Punky edge Living Colour meets King Crimson! I'll check it.

Oh, I guess the pic right of you is our Olav, and on the left Vitaly? The others are unfamiliar to me.
Percussion, sir!
