I never said it was a bad song, just that it's the worst song off of an Amazing album. I just think the song itself is a bit overrated

There is no such thing as "the greatest singer" ... What do you mean when you say that?

Really? Nick Mason's album?! ConfusedThat is a unique point of view.

Nick Mason's 'Fictitious Sports', David's first, and Roger's "Is This The Life We Really Want" for me. All of these clearly over Amused to Death and Rick's. Actually if I had to nominate just one, I'd probably go for Fictitious Sports as well. A fun album full of originality, and it has Robert Wyatt on it. 


And the track 'Hot River' from Fictitious Sports is a very witty Floydian pastiche.

Springsteen's version of Blinded by the Light is superior to Manfred Man's Earth Band version. Springsteen did write it after all

Fictitious Sports is a close second to Gilmour's debut in the Floyd solo standings for me, followed by Rick's Wet Dreams. Fictitious Sports is really a Carla Bley album.

Yes made nothing great post-Relayer. Agree
Canterbury prog is underrated and Camel are not Canterbury! Agree
ATOTT by Genesis is a snooze fest! Agree
Soft Machine's Fourth is their masterpiece! Agree
You are hard pressed to find a M. Davis record you can sit through and thoroughly enjoy! I love J. Johnson though! Love Miles and sit through loads of his stuff
Most Krautrock is aimless goofy noodling or just pathetic! Wonderful stuff love it


Canterbury is a snooze fest as are Camel most of the time (prog's equivalent of elevator music) Booo
Soft Machine have a lot of noodling, even on PA no one really cares about them! I Do! 5,000 ratings say different!
No one really cares about Gong either I Do! > 5,000 ratings!
Miles Davis is not prog (not a hot take) He's released at least a few prog albums (jazz fusion)
Krautrock - don't know why anyone listens to it (even Germans hate it mostly) Love It!

Mike Oldfield has great guitar tone

I've seen people complain about it, not sure why.

Laughing at your apparent inability to understand why anyone has a different view to you! This is supposed to be a thread about unusual likes and dislikes, but you’re questioning so many!!

I think we’re just very different Christi😊

I'm not questioning anything. You misunderstood. 
It is a thread of unique likes and dislikes but it seems I am not allowed to ask about any of those choices. It's not that I do not approve, I sometimes would like an extra explanation. 

I'm sure most disagree with my odd choices I posted. And if they ask me why, I would give them an explanation.
