Is anyone else getting kind of sick of Pink Floyd?

   Much in life isn't fair, and I think this is a pretty tiny issue. I understand what you're saying, but I can't see why other people's (arguably false or not) opinions would make me get sick of a band or another. 
Just recently I went through another Floyd binge, listening to their whole catalogue, many albums many times, and I just keep falling deeper in love with them.

	Life isn't fair. While you wrote that post about music you were able to buy, eighteen people starved to death.

	I just don't think it's fair that other bands, which are arguably much better, get no recognition, and are stuck standing in Floyd's shadow.

	Pink Floyd is indeed very overrated.

	First of all, that is your just punishment for reading Yahoo Answers. Second of all, because they wrote DSOTM and The Wall, which, for whatever reason, are seminal rock albums. Third, what contemporary bands sounded like Pink Floyd? Gilmour's style is unique. Fourth, why do you even care what the unwashed masses think? Edited by Henry Plainview - January 01 2010 at 14:33

	I've got a little story to share. Alright, I make a lot of lists; many of which are dedicated to progressive rock. In fact, I was making one of this exact kind the other night. I kind of hit that point where I couldn't think of ANY more songs to place on the list, so I foolishly went onto the Rock and Pop section of Yahoo! Answers to find some suggestions. Every...single...answer...said 'you need more Pink Floyd', when they had at least 14 songs ranked already. One of the answerers complained about the absence of "Another Brick in the Wall Part II"! I didn't get any suggestions for the other great bands on the list, no Kansas, King Crimson, or Genesis recommendations! And this isn't only on Yahoo! Answers...what is the progressive band that gets tons of airplay on the radio? Pink Floyd. Which progressive rock band has sold millions upon millions of records over their contemporaries, who are arguably better? Pink Floyd. Which band receives almost universal acclaim for a style of music that other bands did just as well, if not better? PINK FLOYD. Trust me, you can ask any classic rock junky about Pink Floyd, and they'd claim to be all-knowing in the realm of progressive rock music. I dare you, ask them about Van der Graaf Generator or Family, and they'd be totally lost. This is what I mean. Pink Floyd is a great band, sure, and one of the best prog bands, without a doubt, but, I mean, COME ON. What did they ever do that makes them so much better and so much more popular than Tull, Yes, and ELP?
