It's  curious when somebody say a band is overrated, because the ''overrated bands'' are always the most importants bands in rock history: The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Queen, Floyd, The Who...Big smile
 
I have tried with PF several times, just to find that special and magic touch that everybody seem to appreciate...and well, answering to your words, if someone wants to have a solid opinion about a band, it´s obligated for him to LISTEN THEIR ALBUMS (incredible????!!!)Wacko.
 
And I don´t hate PF, neither their music. Simply I don´t understand why that band is so overrated and why everyone talk only marvellous things about them. When so few people talk bad things about a band, it may results suspicious...

Pink Floyd never had fold-out album covers like Hawkwind!

I like the Hawkwind cover because it has multiply layers. First of all it is a scene on a planet with two suns. Second it is a face behind a helmet. Third it is a female figure with bare breasts. And from the other side it is a shield.

And when a lot of people, a lot of musicians including: Rick Wakeman, Steve Howe, Phil Manzanera, Paul McCartney, Mike Portnoy, Steven Wilson, Ian Anderson, Pete Townshend talk about Pink Floyd as one of the bigger and most influential bands in history it may results suspicious.....

Ok, sorry...forgive me if I've done has been stupid ... but  i just wanted to say it is normal that you do not like Pink Floyd (each has their own taste of course) and if i don't like a band like the Rolling Stones or U2 for example i don't say they are overrated, and i recognize the importance that they have in rock history.
  ... in fact I think the term 'overrated band' is very 'overrated' ... there are groups and artists that i like a lot or not like anything.
I can't belive in an overrated band....i think the phenomeno fanboy that only like one band and hate the rest is also stupid.

No he dicho que sea estúpido tu ejemplo...y yo sí creo en las bandas "sobrevaloradas", como creo en las películas sobrevaloradas. Es un hecho. De la misma forma que hay grupos a los que nadie se molesta en acercarse porque no son apenas conocidos. En este foro verás decenas de topics de excelentes discos con apenas 2 respuestas....
 
Y respecto a PF, la mayoría de su "masa social" de seguidores son gente que apenas sabe lo que significa el rock progresivo. Pero les gusta un álbum, o simplemente unas canciones, porque es lo único que han escuchado de ese estilo.
 
Si quiero escuchar space rock, me decanto por HAWKWIND y su In search Of Space, por ejemplo, aunque cualquier ejemplo es válido.

Ok compañero, pues hablemos en castellano...Smile
Estoy totalmente de acuerdo contigo en que los fanboys de Pink Floyd no saben una mierda (con perdón) de Rock Progresivo. Pero no me malinterpretes, yo soy fan de Pink Floyd (se nota no...Big smile) pero me encanta el Rock Progresivo y pienso que 'controlo' de esta música aunque en términos de edad sea un novato. Saludos.

It's not that I can't find worth in anything, it's just that I can't find worth in enough.

it is the original fold-up cover from 1975. From the other side it looks like a shield. The black parts down below do not belong to the cover, so the whole cover is shield-shaped when unfolded.

I did not say your example is stupid ... and I do believe in the bands "overstated" in movies as I believe overvalued. It is a fact. Just as there are groups that nobody bothers to come because they are barely known. In this forum you will see dozens of topics of great albums with just 2 answers ....
 
And as for PF, the majority of their "social mass" of supporters are people who barely know what it means progressive rock. But they like an album, or just some songs, because that's all they've heard of that style.
 
If I hear space rock, Hawkwind and I opted for his In Search Of Space, for example, although any valid example.
 
Did not want to write in the language of Shakespeare ....
Tough  - the language of the forum in English.
