Pink Floyd's biography in Progarchives?!

Textbook wrote: It's true that some bios need rewriting (that Tool one has got to go as mentioned earlier) but letting fanboys write loveletters is not the answer. It should be just like the reviews issues thing- if you have a problem with a bio, submit an adjustment in the appropriate folder rather than just ranting about it here.

there`s no need for ranting. and of course i`ll submit.

"Pink Floyd wrote slow blues songs with alienating lyrics and funny noises."

`PF, slow blues songs, funney noises`...!!! this can be the funniest thing that has ever been said about the band. for the one who said it, i hope he consider a serious revision of `MUSIC` definition for himself.

Textbook wrote: Someone please edit Pink Floyd's bio to begin "Generally agreed to be the worst band of all time" so we can see this guy's reaction.

i`m so sorry that i see such unintellectual, amateur persons in this great website which should serve as an educational site. i don`t know how the moderators and site admins assess people like this to rich for upper levels. the first thing that someone MUST have to be acceptable for a basic assessment is POLITE and ETHICS. these kind of people are better for war battle or even less rather than being in a cultural and educational website and spoil everything with their aggressive manner.
it`s a unforgivable disaster...

Very happy to have you on the site Sohrab, and we are always open to suggestions, but you have to realize your opening post comes on kind of strong and is going to provoke some kidding from our veteran site members. These are all good guys and they are just kidding with you, so everybody just chill.

Thanks John.
in fact my first post was just a suggestion to improve the structure of the site as it`s almost 3 years that i read everything on PA and refer to it many times but just 2 days that i decided to take a share! so i`m sorry for any convenience which is happened but indeed, i did not expect such reactions! i hope that `kidding` does not result in `rudeness`.

Thx again man!

I believe one reason for this was in the early days of PA,being authors having a self-imposed word-length - maybe the intention was for  biographies to be completely on screen when you dial into a specific artist or band name - i.e. not requiring scrolling? Something I was happily forced to ignore when writing biogs of jazz rock fusion artists on long standing colourful careers and large discographies. Bands I care about will get updates and other expansions from time to time. I wonder if this is true with all long term listings here?

Also, there were a large number of bands who were added in short time when the site was created. Inevitably, things would be kept brief then or the site would never have got off the ground. This is though an ever developing place, nothing is cast in stone (except biographies by a couple of our SCs)

it`s ok Bob! i can accept everything when someone treats in a good manner...
and i hope your `couple of SCs` try to have a revision on their behavior. at least regarding their age and expected social experience.
i accept anything that u say.
take a look at my `Camel` topic also. i`ll be glad to have ur opinion!
