Like any band some tracks will resonate with you more than others, so to any individual some tracks will rock, some will be so-so, others will suck. PF did some very groundbreaking things with sound, live performance, and lyrics/storyline that other bands only wish they could do. PF is not for those folks who prefer their music to be uptempo all the time of course

That's fine. You don't have to like everything. From a musician's standpoint however, they did things never done before, and their writing style was impeccable. There's a reason they are still listened to after nearly 40 years.

Think about that. Back in 1985, how many kids did you see getting into music from the 1940's? Music from that era didn't translate very well, did it. In that same period of time, Pink Floyd STILL has albums in the top 200 sales lists. Their music is truely timeless, and will be enjoyed 100 years from now (much the same way people still enjoy Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven).

So by your post you are saying PF is shitty music, since I have shitty taste and I do like PF.

Your trolling used to be more subtle. What happened, get bored?

I've never been a big fan, but I concede that their composition is more ambitious than other rock music. I respect them, even if the music isn't my thing.

Topic title: Pink Floyd, over rated?
OP content: PF is alright, I like some of their tunes.
Random post: AC/DC blows but not as bad as Rush
My post: No one cares. end yourself
You: So you think PF sucks? I like PF

maybe you should figure out what your own opinion is before you start posting about it. fuckin pylon.

The Doors are insanely overrated. Never understood the appeal. Even though I do not like Zeppelin or Pink Floyd, I can sort of see why people might like them, not so with The Doors.

The Doors deal was mixing poetry into music. I personally don't like them, but Jim Morrison's talent was painting imagery with lyrics.

Led Zeppelin is not overrated. NOBODY did what they did with rock music at that time. They invented heavy metal and the "light and shade" composition method so often used to this day. Their first 6 albums are classics. Unfortunately the excess of 70's rockstar living took it's toll, and by around 1975, they were shells of their former selves. Jimmy Page did not fully recover from his various drug/alcohol additions until the late 1990's, which is a shame because of all those years he's wasted.

Yeah, but it doesn't make them a good band.

In a world beset with sampling and lip syncing Pink Floyd stands head and shoulders above anything Ive seen released in the last 20 years.

While I do agree people my age, high schoolers, do say "yo I listen to pink floyd" because it's sort of a fad, I know just as many people that genuinely like their music. Personally, I can't listen to all their all albums first song to last, but I definitely like a lot of their songs.
