My personal favourite would have to be Syd though.

I'm not going to bother responding to your post because you're still doing the same arrogant crap jackhammer accused you of. You have your facts wrong and I don't feel like correcting them to you because as you've proven it's a useless thing to do.

I put up a decent question and crowquill instantly said about malcolm which was from another of my threads totally unrelated and uncalled for then made the absurd suggestion that been a person who inspires something makes them responsible for the product which is utterly rubbish. If they knew their music they would know that many of the songs were actually about their other friends and wives and each other. Water's main topic was his dead father not syd.
Then people said because I spelt a name wrong the case is closed. Explain that? Yet everyone has made spelling errors here I just don't point them out as I get their point being made and that is what matters. in a debate that is fast and instant you don't bother doing spell checks as the other person is waiting for a response to their point quickly. Style over substance is what the not so bright kids at school worked on when we grew up and went to school.
By throwing their derision on everything I did, exposing every weakness how other moderators write...???
Crowquill also said John Lennon was crap.
A moderator also said Imagine isn't even in his top 100 songs. I don't even think as a solo artist he made 100 songs and to say Imagine isn't in top 100????
As for women in Rock yes I was named about ten women. Doesn't that just validate my point?
Ten out of all the thousands or rock bands there have been and albums made?
Out of all the bands there have been in rock history? That wouldn't even rank as a full percentage point in any rock statistic because women are pop, jazz and so on not rock. that was my point. Not sexist just a fact that rock like playing football is 99% male.
Moderators don't make any valid points about floyd here if they do where is the arguement for waters who claimed he wrote 85% at least of DSOTM and all of the wall and much of wish you were here?
And also that he wrote and co wrote syds material making him the most talented throughout? Moderators never mentioned this becuase they don't know it.
What about the court case that debated who had the right to own the name Pink Floyd which Gilmour won and then they toured with waters doing his own band and not allowing the others to play any of his songs?
What about waters actually finishing much of the Piper himself as syd was too ill but not taking credit as he loved syd but later it became clear to music writers that he and Gilmour actually done most of the studio work on that album as Syd was not able to attend sessions?
Do the moderators mention any of these things?
No, they ignore the thread title and debate obscure opinions about where talent lies like Plato's or Aristotle's.
This is because they don't know as much about music as they like to let on.
I don't comment on rap or blues either because I know nought about them. But I know what I know about rock and punk.
And one last thing, when people attack someone personally without wit it is because they don't have the arguement on the subject. I don't mean witty messing but just insulting about spelling when everyone knows my points. It is also clear that some are using reverse tatics to accuse me of things they themselves have said. It is all on the boards for all to see it just may take a bit of time for your minds to catch up to mine as that is the way it always is with me.
I have not gone over the same point 15 times but noone has debated anything at all about the floyd ...yet.
I have literally had to say every angle myself so it isn't a debate it is just me making all the counter arguements because noone else has.
By the way I am a genius you just don't know who I am.

The whole carriage hushed. Smith looked him up and down.
"You're a **** pal," he said.

^ This bit is what I had in mind.

Roger Waters Is a decent bass player, an OK singer, and a good songwriter, but I think he's eclipsed by Gilmore in all three of those areas (so what if Waters pretty much wrote The Wall. Its a psychotherapy session put to music, and one of the most overrated pieces of music in rock n' roll history). I'm sure Barrett was very talented, but its hard to know whether you're crediting his genius or his neurosis when talking about him, and although his influence got the ball rolling, the band quickly evolved into an entirely different musical entity. I think Gilmour gets it for me.
