Pink Floyd

[The_Burg]

Music or noise? My good lady hates it. As do many women. WTF why?

[Athlon]

Fabulous music by seriously talented people, Wish you were here is a great album to put on while you drift off to sleep.

[turbotongue]

Shine on you crazy diamond is up there with my favourite songs.

[ratbane]

Oh please!?

Simply one of the most innovative bands of the end of C20. There are gems in all their eras.

I give you beauty.....

I love Floyd, but i do accept they are a love em or hate 'em band. You either get them or you don't.

[The_Burg]

Yep, she is wrong!
Even without drugs it sends you on a journey.
What a band, why Hi Fi was invented.

Good man.

I think David Gilmours solo in brick in the wall is biblical.

[birdcage]

Roger Waters Amused To Death is extremely good

same here- my good lady hates it too- I'd love to know why.

At their best, they are absolutely unbeatable. At their worst, I can see how 'noise' may be a fair accusation. Get her to watch 'P.U.L.S.E' and 'Live In Gdańsk' with David Gilmour. Nobody could claim they aren't something special.

They transcend generations like few other bands (I'm 22) and seeing Roger Waters in concert was magnificent. Mr. Gilmour is next on my list. Such a shame we'll never get to see the entire band ever again.

IMO the greatest band on the face of the planet...and in the early days, off the planet

Go and see the Aussie Pink Floyd Show. Seriously good. On tour soon.

When I first heard DSOTM, I didn't like it. But then after a few months, I saw a video of them live in Venice. At this point I wanted to have another go at listening to their work.

So I watched The Wall as I was getting stoned.

It all made perfect sense after that.

Pulse: love it.

I'd proffer that one can not be a fan of music unless you enjoy The Floyd.

ETA: And Gilmour is a fking paragon of tasteful guitar.

A sweeping, simplistic generalization:

Women like simple music they can dance to.

Men like complicated music they can listen to.

The solos in Time or Comfortably Numb are exquisite

True

Floyd, music of the gods

Anyone who doesn't get Pink Floyd doesn't get Rock Music imho
