Maybe I'm weird, but I cannot STAND Pink Floyd. The "classic rock" stations play the hell out of them, and I just don't get it. Just like The Doors, I detest them too. I really, really tried to like them. As a consumer of fine herbage I kinda felt like it was a requirement for me to like PF, but I could never get down with them. I mean no offense to anyone who doesn't agree, but in my book, Pink Floyd sucks. There, I said it.:laugh::roflmao:
That is not the required alteration agent. PF requires other mind scramblers.

I understood and excepted your reasoning all the way down to the "sucks" part. Hard not to be offended by that. I see stuff on TB everyday that I may not like or absolutely detest and I cant find it within myself to attack the promoter/contributer of the conversation by saying that what makes them happy "sucks". Im way above that.

Well Sir... I happen to agree with you... but in his defense (and the only reason I didn't author another post droning on about the difference between "they suck" and "I don't like them"), he DID say, "In my book... Pink Floyd sucks". To me that's the same as saying, "in my opinion"... and he's welcome to that;)
 
Yup, as much as I like Gilmour's playing, Waters IS Pink Floyd..Would have been interesting had Barrett not lost his marbles...

Floyd with Barrett was a much different aspect in music than Floyd post Barrett. Even post Syd, but pre-dark side, floyd was a mega melange of both aspects. I guess i've got 3 albums that sum up my getting into each 'era' floyd.

Barrett era:

Echoes is one hell of a trip.

Then Post Dark side:

After listening to animals, I went backwards, discovered the above two & everything in between, after. Post Waters, etc.

You think the old strings are under there too? :laugh:

Anything is possible, maybe they were melted down & cast into a make shift gibson ground plate for the control cavity :P

Im pretty sure I got that before I reached the "sucks" part. Thats just a blatent attack, nothing less. If this club is now resorting to that type of communication its time for me to go on hiatus.
