The Virginmarys - Bang Bang Bang

[pink floyd]

Dark Side Of The Moon was released 35 years ago and yet it still sounds more modern than anything else around today and im sure in another 35 years il be saying the same thing. That record is simply timeless!

[pink floyd]

does anyone else, other than me, think pink floyd are probably the most overrated band in the world?

listening to their albums from 68 through to the final cut (i dont count the ones without roger waters as they are completely dire) it strikes me there are only 3 good ones out of the whole bunch.

their early ones are just a lot of un-melodic noise and the later ones (the wall side 4 on vinyl and the final cut) just a weak attempt at some kind of brass band opera style pomp.

dark side of the moon is good BUT not that good, wish you were here and the first 3 sides of the wall are probably the only good stuff they ever released.

it amazes me how they are consistently put up there with Zeppelin as one of the greatest bands in history.

just listening to their drummer is enough to put you off

anyone got any thoughts on this?

If Pink Floyd only released 3 good albums that's 3 more than most bands! And although i prefer Zeppelin 'Dark Side Of The Moon' is better than any of their records and 'Wish You Were Here' is possibly as good too. I agree that the rest of their records are nowhere near the same quality but The Beatles, Rolling Stones, and other great bands are no different in that respect.

Also 'Echoes' off 'Meddle' is arguably their greatest work!

No Limit - 2 Unlimited

[The Who Thread]

Could it be that Tommy has the song "Christmas"?

But it's also got 'Tommy's Holiday Camp'

[The Who Thread]

Love The Who!

Definitely one of the few bands to change their music style over their career and still keep the quality high. Who's Next gets played in my car alot during the summer months and Tommy alot in the winter (not sure why?!)
