Its called some people dont know what there tlaking about. There Psychedelic Rock, and easily the most revelutionary in that category.

With Syd they were psychedelic, with Roger and David they bordered between psychedelic and prog, and towards arena rock in their later years.

Fits, no? They're Post Rock with some Phsychedelia mixed in.

Pink Floyd =/= non-rock.

Well its true that post rock is usually defined as something that goes beyond what one defines as music through melody, harmony and rhythm and as a genre that uses rock instruments for non rock purposes.

Pink Floyd as experimental as they were, still used chords, standard time signatures, pentatonics, call and response and several other things that are common in traditional rock music, distinguishing them from post rock.

Also thats Wikipedia, a website that anyone can edit, and a site that as of late has been pretty notorious for its articles being edited by corporate representatives and politicians who are trying to push a certain agenda.

But it's a music genre page...

Way to reply to the important part of his post. You missed the point of what he said, wikipedia is a faulty site and not a legitimate source.

I still like Wikipedia, and I think its easy to tell when the editor is full of crap or not, sincere articles give you a lot of links and sources.

But yeah, for all we know, ProggyMan could have written that whole freaking article himself. :laughing:

"I edit wikipedia..."

Lol.

Pink Floyd by a country mile. Dream Theatre bore the arse of me. All musicianship, no passion.
