Dick makes a good point above. Also, there were a large number of bands who were added in short time when the site was created. Inevitably, things would be kept brief then or the site would never have got off the ground. This is though an ever developing place, nothing is cast in stone (except biographies by a couple of our SCsWink)


it`s ok Bob! i can accept everything when someone treats in a good manner...
and i hope your `couple of SCs` try to have a revision on their behavior. at least regarding their age and expected social experience.
i accept anything that u say.
take a look at my `Camel` topic also. i`ll be glad to have ur opinion!Smile

I'll tell you what, you're a cheeky bugger and I'm certainly not warming to you. Don't understand why Admin is leaping to defend you all the time. 


u`d better look at ur age, and then look at ur behavior and the way that u talk, then hopfully u`ll be a little ashamed. this is the last time that i answer ur post. just don`t find any logic reason to argue with a person like u.

Listen.  I'm a pretty easygoing individual.  Stop being pedantic and condescending, stop the rambling condemnations and haughty dismissals, and for GODS SAKE STOP CAPITALIZING/YELLING AT US, and maybe we can start over on friendly terms.  Capiche?

Is calling someone arrogant name calling? Look at what he's been saying to me! Why are you protecting him so much?

Why can't the Admins just let Sohraab make his PF bio submission changes/edit.......Let the person responsible for that area of the site approve or disapprove the edits?
 
I guess me personally this is a music site not a specific genre/band site......Bios IMO should be "generic" and not become personal BIOS to show ones "love" for a band.........I don't want to read that. Because the same could be said for the bands here that have a general dislike and or ones that folks feel should not even be here in the PA.....it works both ways and I don't think the PA Powers That Be want that type of a bio.
 
I think that is what Sohraab was initially saying in his post. He wants more substance to the PF bio but I think that substance would be in the form of what some call "fanboyism".
Let him submit it and the checks and balances system will probably not allow it.

my friend,
first of all i love prog music generally and PF is just a particular one. i said many times that they r not my idol. second i know this is not a fan site unless the name of site would have been PF archives or kind of it! third i`m working on Bio to make a concise one and i know very well about checks and balances which r u talking about... i will provide something quite acceptable. and finally i should mention for you that there are many cases on PA which the Bios reflect the love of the writer for the introduced band. wanna some examples? i can provide... so if u consider it as a flaw, mine will not be the only one. although my Bio will not be a `LOVELY` one but a justified one.
keep smiling.

Well that suits me fine, but I answered you reasonably if you look at my first post. You are a very rude man.

The collaborators and admins here take the site very seriously.   They take the entries here very serviously, and have been working on updating many aspects of the site.  But if the Pink Floyd bio is in need of reworking, I doubt that it is one of the more pressing issues on their plate.  But if you have a better one, I'm sure they would consider amending the page.
Trust me. I know what I'm doing.

I know a couple of admins already joined in this discussion but I'll throw my two cents in and say that if this can't be discussed rationally this thread will be closed.Some of the posts in this topic have really crossed the line.

All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists 
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad bugger's wall.

Reminds me of this thread...LOL

I make sure to be as ignorant as possible about Pink Floyd not only on these forums, but everywhere I go. A man will ask me what my favorite track off of "Dark Side of the Moon" is and I respond "What about me makes you think I listen to the f**king Eagles?!"

As I don't like The Eagles music I don't get the connection.

Well, yeah, there IS no connection, that's...that's the joke.

Hi,
 
It's a tough one ... and not everyone sees the same thing.
 
It's not hard to read the connection to Syd Barrett, Kevin Ayers, Robert Wyatt and Daevid Allen, and in the same house Allen Ginsberg and Edgar Burroughs are staying for a period of time ... and you know that these people were much better connected to the "art scene" than King Crimson was ...
 
King Crimson, unlike PF, is almost a "reaction band" when compared to Pink Floyd, however, they defined themselves well enough to be able to make a mark on their own with or without a Pink Floyd ... and remember ... above all ... that PF at that time was doing quite "pop" oriented music ... which is a nice treat for KC ... even if Syd had injected 2 songs that ... defied the definition and the rest of the work!
 
As I said before, the whole thing is not some idealistic concept that created "progressive" music ... these are intrinsically tied to the time and place and deserve that credit, or a lot of their music loses its source and soul.
 
No one is more important than anyone else. It took all of them to help cause the changes in music that took place and placing the change in one person ... ie, Jesus ... is like saying ... that we're now going to rewrite history so we can make a religion off "progressive" music.
 
I don't dislike the write up ... I do think that it could be better researched ... and it was quite obvious that PF was quite close to film, and other arts, of which one of their best friends, created one of the greatest arrays of album covers ever ,and is probably the most prolific artist out there in the 20th century ... 2nd to NONE!
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Thank you so much for your patience on this Sohrab, please don't let a few people on this site ruin your enjoyment, most of us are polite and civil as you will find out if you stick around.

Thanks John.
i really don`t find any reason for such behaviors. can not get the point... we are all here for music and art not for fight... and i know most of the people are intellectual and of course more experienced than me, so i`m here to learn from them and to transfer my possibly useful knowledge as well. no individual one can prevent me in my positive way and turn me to a pessimistic situation.
Regards.
