Abso-bloody-lutely.
I'm yet to truly get into them, but Animals is one of my favourite albums (Dogs being quite possibly one of the best tunes of all time), Piper At the Gates Of Dawn and Dark Side Of the Moon are sheer class as well. |

Once upon a time i would have said no, since the Pistols were one of my most loved bands i felt the need to follow their example and hate on all they did. Dark Side helped a bit, Piper swayed me completely.

A little like Bulldog I'm yet to truly get into Pink Floyd. Whenever I go through their discography I find it's met with a lot of indifference in places, in a way I just keep expecting to put Piper on one day and for it to just click, for me to get it and realise it was genius all along but so far that just hasnt happened. I dig Saucerful Of Secrets and Dark Side Of The Moon among others but even though I'm far from being the Floyd fan that a lot of members of this site are I simply cant vote no and I'd love to hear the argument of anyone that does.
Definite yes. |

I only have Piper and Animals, I can't nominate them solely on the strength of the former. I had a friend who always tried to get me into them by subjecting me to mammoth listening sessions, they just don't resonate (yet?) and the guitar solos on 'Animals' are hideous
Always thought post-Piper they were overrated, no offense to any fans. It's a nein! =/ |

I nearly voted no, as they're not far off being given away for free as part of a Mail on Sunday supplement.
Thats not a real reason to refuse this great band entry, but is tempting just to annoy folk who rate them because Radio 1 say they're gods because they're old and played Live 8, but then again those people don't come on here so sod them. They've got far too much stuff going on under the radar obviously for me to say no, So its a big Syd Barrett yes from me. |
