I didn't say that. I'm saying most of the regulars (that's the key word) prefer Syd era stuff. And If I were to make a Syd era vs Gilmour era poll I'm pretty confident Syd would win.

Gee you picked a song from the one album every member of the band hates and THAT'S what you use against them? So no good band is expected to have a bad song or two?

Because you have no right defending Syd Barrett of all goddamn people, or to be a White Stripes fan, because they undeniably have some awful stuff.

I think the nerdrage got in the way of your logic there.

1. I don't have a right to defend him? So I did what I was allowed?

2. I don't have the right to be a white stripes fan? Why?

3. You're confusing awful with, "written in a drug fueled haze, and stupid enough when sober to think it was a ****ing song!"

That last part actually describes a good portion of the Syd Barrett discography.

I'm saying you have a thing for discrediting artists completely because they've done some really bad songs, who hasn't? It's like writting off Jefferson Airplane completely because of what they did in the 80s (if making bad 80s music was really that big of a deal, everyone should be discredited), it's stupid, and it also seems to suggest that your favorite artists can do no wrong, ever. Which of course is a load of crap. I can admit that all of my favorite artists have done some crap.

Even when it's in jest, to write a band off for one song is just freaking stupid.

If I had to choose, I'd rather listen to Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict than In The Cold, Cold Night or the Tom Waits ballads that sound like leftover Springsteen.

Boo Boo, let me show you the break down of how this all happens, and then maybe you'll see why you get far too worked up in the eyes of everyone else.

You write a thesis on how Barret era floyd is over rated.

I make a tounge-in-cheek response agreeing with you.

You act like I've written a thesis, or intended to but I was just too stupid.

Then you agree with my third, and really only seriosuly made point, in my list and then go on to draw some phantom conclusions about what my stupid one-liner several posts back really means.

For someone who decries authoritarianism, you certainly conduct business like big brother.

You imgained I said Waits and White are infallible.

You imagined I decried an entire discography by citing one song.

And then you create a counter-argument to an arguement YOU CREATED.

Sometimes its just best to let a sleeping dog lie.

[Kevorkian Logic]

Frank Zappa: Yes, you already said it, he is god
The Clash: Yes, helped define the punk genre
Bob Dylan: Absol****ingyes, his music calms the mind and the soul and is wonderful to listen to. He is also one of the few real classic guys who i enjoy listening to over and over again
Pink Floyd: Yes, I don't think that really needs explaining
Big Black: eh, I like big black a lot, but i wouldn't really but them in the hall of fame
Tom Waits: Another big yes, I love everything about him
The Smiths: Sure, very different.
Chuck Berry: No, I don't really care about chuck berry at all.

Ok, sorry. I was being stupid there, I just recall things you said before and assumed that's what you meant. I'm sorry.

that's what prevents me from rating Rain Dogs as highly as everyone else.

Jersey Girl practically ruined that album.

Thats a pretty good feat for two reasons

1. Jersey Girl isn't on Rain Dogs.

2. Its originally a Waits song that the boss co-opted.

I wanna know what sounds like "leftover springsteen" by the way.

the lack of interest in this, this time around is rather astonishing.
