Atom Heart Mother, Meddle, Saucerful of Secrets, Animals, Piper at the
Gates of Dawn and Wish You Were Here are all not boring and very
intersting.
Dark Side of The Moon, I find quite boring
The Wall is very boring.

Well, I can't say I find any Pink Floyd boring. Some of it is bad, but all of it is interesting (and Careful With that Axe, Eugene defies all definitions of boring).
TheLamb, it would have been nice to explain your position.

My general rule of thumb when listening to music is that if I can play any of the instruments just as well as the band members, than I probably won't like it.

You may think you can play guitar as well as Gilmour but that's because he's not speed or precision oriented; he once said he always wanted to play like that but never could...and thank God, or we would never have heard his phenomenal, deeply soulful solos. Believe me when I tell you Gilmour is absolute gold on his instrument (I've been playing for 25 years).

Are you serious?
If you want to dance on something easy to listens to and easy to forget too, perhaps. But i know a type of dance that are good on,... the free style!
Live at Pompei... YEAH!

I wouldn't really call Meddle, Dark Side, Wish You were Here, or most of the Wall invigorating, but "boring" implies that the music is either bad or uninteresting, and it is neither.

I don't play guitar, and have no clue how to, but I can still tell when a guitarist is good or not.

It really depends how high you are. If you're sober they are the greatest band in the world, but if you're high they're the greatest band in the universe.

sometimes I was forced to listen to Division Bell when my sister wanted to spin the CD in the car... I can't tell you if I was bored or plain depressed. They put so much into atmosphere that Gilmour sometimes forget about music. Whilst the same happened with The Wall, as varied as it is; they just can't challenge my mind and ears anymore

Yes!
But of course you can listen almost everything and like it.
But, i think PF sound is too "good". I think that it doesn't make music art, or yes it does, but not enough well. And PF is psychedelic, apathetic, and still heavy. And "art". But it is enough progressive that I like it.
Boring? No, but definitely yes

It was obvious that you dont play guitar.. if so, you'd know that is more important the way you play it, that what you play... it means... gilmour is far of being some virtuoso guitarist that you can admire, but if you know about guitars and playing from the soul... (THAT's WHAT I CALL AN ARTIST, AND, A TRUE GUITARIST) then you should know gilmour is far better

You can play from the soul much better when you have a lot of skill than when you have very little.
Totally primitive playing can't express a whole lot of feeling.

Excuse me??? There's a lot more emotion in songs like "Comfortably numb" or "Shine on you crazy diamond" than in any speed crap from Satriani and his sound-a-likes!

Maybe, but if those guys wanted to, they could use their superior skill to make much more emotional solos than Gilmour.
