Pink Floyd's biography in Progarchives?!

this is my first post on PA. as i`v surfed the home page of most of the bands, i realized somethings are wrong here. as it should be so, PA should be an original, trustworthy and in same time, a reliable literature source for the people who want to know about progressive music for first time. hence, it is necessary to provide fair enough information about all of the genres and bands. regarding this fact, as all of us know, there are some SPECIAL bands who are pioneers of progressive music and MUST be considered as the initial introductions for anyone who wants to know about progressive music.

Pink Floyd is inevitably and definitely, one of the most important bands in the history of genre (if not has been the most important). and say, someone enters the PA website as the main information resource for progressive music, trying to get somethings to know about PF. what does he encounter on the main page of the band?! nothing!!! the article which is written down to describe Pink Floyd work is not even considerable as 10% of the thing that should be for their introduction. the writer of the article seems to be so unfamiliar with PF as he has indicated the very basic materials about the band, even less than basic in some parts, (look at the third paragraph that how he sums up the introduction of the band in such a careless way). and then, when you go for say, King Crimson page, you see a complete article about the band which describes all possible things in the most detailed way! i`m a KG lover as well, but to be fair, regardless of fame (which PF was and is much more famous than KG), which one has been more significantly effective in the history of rock music in general and prog rock in particular?! all of us know that the music of PF has inspired many successful rock bands, from DT, to Anathema to Nightwish to Tiamat!

now i make it short. this is the responsibility of the site admins and moderators to have the best way of supervision for the materials which is provided on PA, specially the ones which are considered as BASIC INTRODUCTION for the bands. it is a shame that a great band like PF has such a short, inadequate and unprofessional introduction (of course with respect for the writer). i hope the moderators read my post and consider it not just for PF but to support and introduce the progressive music in it`s best possible way as it should be. and anyway thanks for maintaining and building such a great web source for music lovers.

of course i want to submit a better one my friend and i`m already providing the material for it. PF deserves more than this. they are one of the few really TIMELESS bands. their music should be considered more than this. although they r not my idol since they`v had their own mistakes and flaws, but in my view, they are the most significant inspiration for many of today`s musicians. at least comparing to bands such as Yes, which is i think considered far beyond their effectiveness in rock history...

anyway Thx for reading and reply dud!
hope to keep in touch! 

Having just finished reading Nick Mason's book on the band, I think the article on PA is pretty accurate, actually.

Perhaps a bit short, but not as bad as you suggest.

not special treatment but at least, a fair one! just take a look at the page of PF, is it really the introduction of PF?!!!!
agree or not? ;)

It maybe a little on the short side, but it is fine as an introduction to the band. I think you need to realise that detailed reviews of the bands work, and also comments about the dynamics within the band, will be found on the album reviews. Also, in many of the forum threads.

A little bit negative for a first post really?

sorry - can't see any reason to claim that we are ignorant concerning Pink Floyd
this is a proper bio - could be more extended, okay - but please notice that we are not a PF fan site!

the only point which is questionable what  I can see is that statement about 'Animals' as an 'underrated gem' which is simply subjective.

the team will discuss about this issue ...

Sohrab - stick around. You'll find it's great fun. You'll also learn a lot, including how to rub people up the right way

I just appreciate that someone has taken their valuable time to write something about Pink Floyd or any other band.

Very few of the band bios are actually impressive and/or particularly in-depth...
