Is Pink Floyd... Boring?

As a person who discovered Pink Floyd on my own without having heard neither anything good nor anything bad about them, I believe that my opinion on their music is not influenced by the opinions of others. I personally think their music is pretty boring in general, although I do like some of it very much. However, I think that many people love Pink Floyd only because they've been exposed to excessive praising of the band before listening to their music.

By saying this I'm not insinuating that my opinion is the correct one and all of you who love their music are wrong. This is just a theory of mine. I know it can be seen as controversial, but before you start flaming me let me just say that I know people who have discovered Pink Floyd the same way I have (with little or no influence from others) but who love their music. I will not debate my opinion further in this thread, as I already have done it once (look up my CttE vs The Yes Album poll).

Nothing wrong with finding a band boring, not everyone enjoys the same styles or bands...

I haven't listened to any Pink Floyd for a while but last time I listened I enjoyed it

Err. NO!

This is the dumbest poll ever.  The Lamb, maybe you would find this more interesting:

 Recently replaced all my Floyd vinyl with cd's. Discovered on listening again, after many years, I don't actually like them that much! Some stuff is ok, WYWH is probably their best work, but on the whole, boring seems the most apt descrition!

really need to answer that?
of course no

They are not "boring" per-se.....just less flamboyant and more atmospheric, at least for their early days. PF is a good example where the result is greater than the sum of its parts because every PF member as a musician does not try to outdo the other. No blistering solos, complex drum patterns...all very ordinary stuff that explodes when put together!

Absolutely Not!!!

haha... if i choose the correct answer... it would be the correct answer indeed?
