Floyd had that magic period , 1967-1983 , all in all = best s"&*t done by a rock'n'roll band , however the stuff done after , bitter divorce between Mr Gilmour and Mr waTERs , brrrrrr....

But Pink Floyd is better. Their albums are works of art. No other albums can compare to The Wall, Wish You Were Here, and Dark Side of the Moon. Hell, Pink Floyd even made Dark Side of the Moon a soundtrack to the Wizard of Oz!
I've seen this before, but...
Pink Floyd > (insert deity here)
brettig said:Rock will always win out over prog. Pink Floyd had its moments but much of it is self-important rubbish. There's plenty of skill sure, but very little joy or life affirming fun to it.
Perfect example is the Final Cut - Roger we can tell you're a fine musician but enough sour grapes about the war already...
joyfulgirl said:Thank you, brettig. I've always felt Pink Floyd lacked passion and soul.

God > U2 > Everything else.

My two favorite bands. Period.

i have a funny feeling that a lot of people who say they like pink floyd only do so because it's cool. they have an awful lot of songs that if they were created by just about anyone else, would be considered to be outright rubbish.
i still love them though, and i'm sure a lot of you do too. it's just that when i see shitheads in the mall wear "dark side of the moon" tshirts that something goes off in my head that says "these kids don't have a clue who pink floyd even were".
typhoon said:Are you people insane? You both thought "Several Species of Animals Gathered In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of...With A Pict" or whatever the fuck was rubbish, Winnie thinks "Sysyphus" and "The Narrow Way" are worse, yet NEITHER OF YOU HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE 10+ MINUTE DRUM SOLO?!
