Pink Floyd

Are they wankers? Discuss....

Why? I can't say I know too much about them. I do like their music though. Remember watching a bit of a documentary about them a while back but was more interested in their guitar collection!

Richard Wright just died

RIP

They Were awesome 30 years ago

Us And Them is one of me faves by them

bike is my favourite. i can't think of any others i like, even.

My absolute favourite - TIME

'Set The Controls For The Centre Of The Sun' is probably m favorite of theres.

For a short time in the early 80s the press were calling N.O. the new Pink Floyd.

No...

And why would you want to reappraise Seona Dancing? They were very bad by the way.

He's not a wanker at all.......He's a lovely fella.....a bit camp but each to their own I suppose.........wouldn't have thought anybody on here would know him.....ah well......hey-ho

EDIT:

Oh, sorry, Pink Floyd............I misread it.....thought it was Pink Lloyd........the gay bloke who owns the Roebuck in Haslingden.......my mistake:)

I think there are two different rock/pop bands, ones that try to be the best rock/pop band in the world, to attain world attention and those that try to make the best rock/pop music they can that makes themselves happy and fcuk the world.

I tend to like the latter type of band. Pink Floyd definately fits in that category, but to have that attitude it requires someone in the band to be a complete and utter wankjob, which Waters definately was. Same goes for NO really, Barney was our wanker.

Well oddly enough I rediscovered them after seeing Ricky Gervais on Letterman. 'Bitter Heart' is a great song

As great as Dark Side is, I always prefered "Wish You Were Here"

and well my fave Floyd songs are

Followed closely by Shine On you Crazy Diamond and Comfortably Numb - strange as it may seem, I often go to sleep with the Dark Side of the Moon album!

echoes was a favourite of mine for drifting off, R.I.P. mr wright

such a sad loss, an amazing band in my opinion.

Rip Roger and Syd.

Spent many a stoned hour in my youth listening to Floyd,this became a fav

Just dont get them at all. The song structures seem bloated and haphazard, with guitar solos that emerge out of nowhere and ejaculate forth for about 10 hours. Their live shows are more like exhibitions and inspire nothing apart from utter nausea. Its all rather vague and up its own arse.

I do agree yet lyrics like on High Hopes strike a deep chord.In the video the white balloons released out of the back of the car and go eagerley tumbling down the lane represent our enthusiasm, wild imaginations and high hopes of youth as we set off down the road of life before we become tired and jaded by reality .True dat

So you think Seona Dancing are good and Pink Floyd are wankers...hmmm I think you may have that the wrong way round.

God Yes.

Comfortably Numb also,natch.

must have been smokin a lot of grass and othr stuff while writing all that.

yes.

As a tribute I watched Live At Pompeii. Now that was great.

Great band, although they got less interesting as Roger Waters took control of everything. When they were a proper group, with everyone chipping in, they were glorious.

Certainly Waters ended up a total wanker and a total whining bitch. Gilmour ended up a total whore, exploiting the brand name for untold wealth.

we could subsitute the names "Barney" and "Hooky" in that sentence
