They are great through Wish You Were Here. My favorite is Meddle but overall, they were best pre-Gilmour with Barrett.

gmku 11.11.2006 05:11 PM

They never did much for me.

cryptowonderdruginvogue 11.11.2006 05:31 PM

my favorite band.

meddle is my favorite album at the moment.
saucerful and piper are gems.
ummagumma was... interesting.
wish you were here was pimpin
animals gets old sometimes
darkside is a classic
the wall is awesome when in the mood
dont know how i feel about their post-wall shit
actually, i kinda hate it...
but yeah, i love pfloyd

Sometimes, and I mean sometimes. They're a good band, but to me, not very entertaining. I guess more of a band you've got to pay alot of attention to.

Where is the 'cunt the fuck off' option?

i really only like their stuff up to meddle,i must say that the "Live at Pompeii" Video is truly amazing.

after syd......no thanks.
piper is one of my all time faves.

sonicl 11.12.2006 02:53 AM

After Waters quit, definitely no thanks. And I'm pretty ambivalent about a lot of The Wall and Dark Side too, but Wish You Were Here and most pre-Wall stuff definitely turns me on.

Trasher02 11.12.2006 04:37 AM

I like them but I never took the time to get into them.

blue sunlover 11.12.2006 06:18 AM

there is a music video with pictures of volcanoerruptions and a statue.that video made me feel uncompfortable.i saw it a few months ago.the wall made me feel bad too.i saw it many years ago.i think pink floyd is an evil band, i
don 't know if there exists worse.

sun city girl 11.12.2006 08:35 AM

yes, although they have some bad stuff too... but i even like the wall.

and syd barrett is god!

Everyneurotic 11.12.2006 11:35 AM

my favorite is right after syd went nuts but before they went stadium soft rock, whoever likes sonic youth and doesn't like stuff like "saucerful of secrets" or "atom heart mother" is full of shit. that said, i don't mind stadium rock floyd yet i hardly listen to it, and barrett floyd is very good but i can't listen to piper more than once every two weeks.

I agree. That's an awesome video.
Piper is my fav.

EMMAh 11.12.2006 12:40 PM

They're alright, way over rated though.

porkmarras 11.12.2006 12:40 PM

Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd are as good as any but the rest i was never really able to get into as much as i'd like to.I respect a lot of the stuff that they have done but i only appreciate bits and bobs.Check this out Glice:
Blixa was once quoted as saying that the Floyd are one of the most underrated avantgarde bands ever.

Hehe. Brilliant. It's probably easier to appreciate their particular brand of English whimsy if you're not English. Same case with the Incredible String Band, who are brilliant at times, but so very, very appaling at times.

Nick Mason doesn't get enough recognition.....he rules.
