What Sucks about This Artist?: Pink Floyd
 

God I hate Pink Floyd. I've gone on for so long so many times about how much I can't stand this group of self-important boremongers and I will always jump at the chance to do it some more. Someone please build a time machine so that we can ensure "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" never gets recorded.

#23 on the freak fighter top 40

but...the post waters **** sucks

and not just Waters but all of them were horrible self-absorbed pricks

Personality wise probably the most unlikable band I can think of

every interview I’ve read and heard confirms my belief that you can know nothing about music and have no music appreciation skills and still make great music

I'll always love this song:



But it's been about 5 years since I thought "I wanna listen to Pink Floyd". Just don't give a fuck about their music.

I consider myself a pretty big Floyd fan but I ****ing despise that song and most of the record. OH is spot on about the garbage Gilmour era as well.

I'll always touch myself when I hear Echoes though.

Do you have a woke opinion on why Wish You Were Here and "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" suck other than them being insomnia cures?

Wish You Were Here is an album for peaked 13 year olds.

So Chula?

Shine On sucks because they run the theme into the ground despite it not being very interesting to begin with. And I hate when they implement that corny ass sax. I can respect it as a coping mechanism for the band and the story about Syd being there is cool but I see no reason to listen to it.

We shall soon see.

Does anyone want to give me five Floyd songs worth my time (I'll check out "Echoes")? The only two songs I actually like and don't just tolerate are "Astronomy Domine" and "Comfortably Numb" (and I'm not even sure how much I still like that). I'm no expert on the band since any attempt to dive into their discography always dies a quick death after forcing myself to make it through one album.

You know full well he's imminent.

half of their discography

edit - in response to the op

1. Careful with that Axe Eugene
2. The Great Gig in the Sky
3. Fearless
4. Dogs
5. Se the Controls for the Heart of the Sun

Not counting Echoes

Pow R. Toc H.
Any Colour You Like
In the Flesh
Remember a Day
Careful With That Axe, Eugene

I like Animals but it would probably bore you.

Yeah well I loved the Gilmour albums, but it sucks that after such a glittering career they decided to bow out with the slab of crap that is The Endless River. For anyone interested: Swansong: Pink Floyd - The Endless River

Says it all.

Endless River was an endless stream of ****.

Kids these days........

No I didn't say "it all". I said "I loved the Gilmour albums". Read more carefully in future, please. :nono:

You 'n' me, Chula.

:laughing:

Nothing wrong with a little ass sax.

This qualifies as surprise ass sax.

Big ass sex is better though.

Five Floyd songs I think Bat might like in no particular order

The Nile Song
Young Lust
Free Four
One of These Days
The Thin Ice

Money

I was just gonna post that one.

Also, LSD/Shrooms and/or weed are the usual added ingredients for the Pink Floyd mind **** cocktail, so... try to be like Jon Stewart in Half Baked when attempting any Floyd listening session.

Not in order:

Fearless
One of These Days
Run Like Hell (he's got to love the neo-Nazi imagery if nothing else!)
Dogs of War
Pigs on the Wing

Waiting for the Worms

Not to mention "In the Flesh?"

Are there are queers in the theatre tonight?
Get 'em up against the Wall!
There's one in the spotlight: he don't look right to me!
Get him up against the Wall.
And that one looks Jewish
And that one's a coon!
Who let all this riff-raff into the room?
There's one smoking a joint, another with spots!
If I had my way I'd have all of ya shot!

Is Bob Geldof a mick?

Yeah

On In the Flesh, I'm too busy waiting for that guitar riff to come around again to focus on the lyrics.

It is pretty sweet.

Gross

Yeah. We had to endure him before ****ing Live Aid too...

Those are both overrated as well. It's Pink Floyd. People suck their dicks too hard for them to ever be underrated.

Cool. Still overrated.

Why? It gets near universal acclaim. Even you suck its dick.

You're funny.

Can't be overrated if you like it rite

Hmm.
