Who here listens to Pink Floyd? They are one of or mabye the greatest bands ever, no question. I could never find a flaw with them, and I envy any person who has attended a Pink Floyd concert (ie my father) since they must, I mean must have been fantasticly wonderful.

So do you listen to Pink Floyd?
If not, why not you crazy person you?

While Pink Floyd are mostly known for their grandiose concept albums of the 1970s, they started as a very different sort of psychedelic band. Soon after they first began playing together in the mid-'60s, they fell firmly under the leadership of lead guitarist Syd Barrett, the gifted genius who would write and sing most of their early material. The Cambridge native shared the stage with Roger Waters (bass), Rick Wright (keyboards), and Nick Mason (drums). The name Pink Floyd, seemingly so far-out, was actually derived from the first names of two ancient bluesmen (Pink Anderson and Floyd Council). And at first, Pink Floyd were much more conventional than the act into which they would evolve, concentrating on the rock and R&B material that were so common to the repertoires of mid-'60s British bands.
Pink Floyd quickly began to experiment, however, stretching out songs with wild instrumental freak-out passages incorporating feedback; electronic screeches; and unusual, eerie sounds created by loud amplification, reverb, and such tricks as sliding ball bearings up and down guitar strings. In 1966, they began to pick up a following in the London underground; on-stage, they began to incorporate light shows to add to the psychedelic effect. Most importantly, Syd Barrett began to compose pop-psychedelic gems that combined unusual psychedelic arrangements (particularly in the haunting guitar and celestial organ licks) with catchy melodies and incisive lyrics that viewed the world with a sense of poetic, childlike wonder.

Right on you kick a** Pink Floyd fans, and if you like any of there music you must check out more albums. My personal favorite would be "The Wall" partly cause it's the first I ever heard and because the movie is awesome. Oh thats right who has seen "The Wall" the movie. Also has anyone heard the Korn rendition of "Another Brick in the Wall"? It's pretty good in my opinion.

its not to bad. all johnathan davis does is scream/sing the lyrics, but uses past tense so its kind of eerie. The guitar solo still rocks.

I was sad that they didn't have the "if you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding. You can't have your pudding if you don't eat your meat." At first I laughed at that until I saw the movie.
