I actually agree with this and I'm a Floyd fan at heart.

I'm definitely not there yet, in terms of being more fair to all music.

But despite all of my ranting, my dirty secret is that I actually find most of the stuff I say I don't like to be listenable. I just find it difficult to find music that I can outright actively care a lot about.

I'd say "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" is a very well written song and an alright listen if I'm trying to keep my feet on the ground. But mostly I'll just have my arms crossed, a frown on my face and say that it's really boring because it doesn't set my pants on fire.

I've also found that problem as well where my sense of "liking something" is more ingrained with whether I really like it or not. I want more albums that blow my socks off, not make me say "yeah this is pretty good" and never think about them again. Maybe my tastes are too specific or I'm still too narrow to appreciate the finer things.

Unfortunately I'd have to agree with the Batlord and Exo on the fact that Shine On is a waste of time, and Pink Floyd are my childhood sweethearts. It's such a detriment to WYWH with how meandering and boring it is (especially compared to far better PF epics on previous and later albums). It's just the one song by the band that I've found myself unable to enjoy.

Seems these dudes can kill on stage no matter how long their songs are.

I wonder what Daughters think of Trump.

I'll be he doesn't grab them.

"If they weren't called Daughters, I'd be listening to them."

Daughter

It's almost the exact same band!

oml I swear the first time I heard about Daughters the first thing I thought of was Daughter. They got some nice tones but they're a pretty milquetoast indie pop group with an average (but nice sounding) singer.

Hearing this for the first time tonight and sweet jesus was this fun. I feel like this is the soundtrack a robot would make for a cormac mccarthy novel. It's sounds like if art students actually had a vision.

And it feels even better that these guys are coming out of Providence. Go get 'em, Rhody.
