Pink Floyd poll

[SocksThaClown]

What are your opinions of the band Pink Floyd (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_floyd)

[wayoftheleaf]

They are the best god damn fucking band on the planet is my opinion.

[poiuyt]

Kick ass.
Shine on you crazy diamond is one of the greatest musical pieces to listen to high.

The wall kicks ass

Welcome to the machine is another great listen when stoned.

DSOTM is a little over rated, but very good.

piper at the gates of dawn is trippy.

[Acouwaila]

....No other band is or ever will be as creative as Pink Floyd

They are the best.

[Its a Plant]

No.

Led Zepp is #1.

Floyd is a bit overrated, but still a good band.

[Zohar]

I hope the mods don't get mad at this (or if they do, PM me/edit my use of these words) but...

Talk about FUCKCELLENT!!! You've got to hear Atom Heart Mother stoned out of your mind, it's just incredible....wow.

Oh yeah and...


No.

Led Zepp is #1.

Floyd is a bit overrated, but still a good band.

Carefully read the poll: "Is Pink Floyd one of the best bands?"

You can still say Yes while reserving a spot for your favorite band ;)

[wayoftheleaf]

Id say led zep is up there but can't compeat with pink floyd. pink floyd and the beatles are pretty close.

[4gan2ja0]

Id say led zep is up there but can't compeat with pink floyd. pink floyd and the beatles are pretty close.

i would agree, BUT i would have the beatles trade spots with zep on that one:thumbsup:

[crunksquirrel]

[sensistar]

if any one needs i got the whole floyd library ...i can put it up on limewire

[wayoftheleaf]

sensistar, limewire sucks, get morpheus.

[fasterspider]

I have been listening to Pink Floyd as one of my favorite bands since the 70's when a friend of mine turned me onto Animals and I fell in love with their music.
This is about Pink Floyd but, Led Zep is also one of my favorite bands.

[zephyrinne]

Right on. Pulse is fucking awesome. To anyone who hasn't seen it, please go out and purchase. You will not be disappointed.

As for the poll, yeah.. they are ONE of the greatest bands ever, but not the best. I can't choose a best, but Floyd, Zeppelin, Stones.. all up there for me.

[Marable_hebrew]

I voted no, because, of my (so many different tastes in music,

quailty band though, love em,.

[slipknotpsycho]

hell yeah pink floyd is one of the best bands...
btw who the hell put 'no'?
lmao :rasta:

oh, that'd be me.

[crunksquirrel]

ah its all good

[Frivolous248]

Chillin' to [Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Part One)] from "Wish You Were Here"

Yeah, Pink Floyd is amazing.

[suhl]

they are good but if you arent high seems so boring its nigh unlistenable. high they are great, otherwise boring, that is my opinion. and i dont know about one of the best bands ever. a very good and unique band. that is for sure

[JunkYard]

Floyd kicks major ass!

Dark side of the Moon...w/o that album, I'd be lost. It's best listened to during a storm, sitting in the car, with the seat layed back. I can't count the times I've done that.

Awsome band!

[Reefer Rogue]

They're my fav band so ofcourse i voted yes.

[Nochowderforyou]

I like a few Pink Floyd tunes, hell, I even play Wish You Were Here all the time on guitar, but I think they are overrated. They're not THAT great, and I find them rather boring after a few tracks of one of their albums. They're too slow for me, too slow and dopey sounding.

My fav. song by them has to Money. I wish they made more songs like that instead of dreamy songs. They just put me to sleep, although The Wall is an amazing album, but only every once in awhile.

I liked Floyd when Syd was singing. They were more rock n roll sounding.

Give me some fucking Led Zeppelin and I'm good. :)

No offense to Floyd fans, but this is just my opinion. :)

[Skink]

I need to be in a certain space to listen to their music... to me they are the essence of "trippy" music...

[Kid A]

They're definitely one of the best... no question

Beatles, Led Zep, Cream even though they had a rather short career

Best band of our generation... and will eventually be included in discussions like these: Radiohead

[sensistar]

sensistar, limewire sucks, get morpheus.


i have the limewire pro...its straigh
but tell me about this morpheus.....what its HOUSE MUSIC selection like
thats mainly what i use those for...

[Reefer Rogue]

For the people who say they're over rated, I doubt you've listened to all of their albums. Also, for anyone to say that they are not one of the best bands ever, disregards the album sales and the long lasting position in the charts of darkside of the moon.

[Fengzi]

Definitely one of the best bands ever. I had the extreme good fortune to see them live back in '95 and I can honestly say that out of the 100+ concerts I've been to it was by far the best.

The very fact that young people are talking about this 33 years after Dark Side of the Moon was released says a lot. I seriously doubt that 30 years from now you'll see a poll asking " Is (insert name of modern band)the best band ever?"

Zep is great too, and of course the Beatles, plus The Who, Rolling Stones, etc. So much great music came out of the late 60's/early 70's. You just don't see that kind of talent coming together anymore.

Don't be upset at peoples opinions. :)

I have listened to all their albums, plenty of times as that's what I was raised on, but I like music that is a little more upbeat. Their music is too slow and dreamy for me (despite the few songs).

They are not a Rock n Roll band, they do not rock out at all. They are mellow.

And album sales mean nothing to me. Britney Spears has sol millions of records, but she still sucks, you know. :)

It's just an opinion, and the question was if they are greatest rock n roll band ever, and no, I don't think they are.

[sensistar]

you know whats funny i played a floyd song at a rave in london and i got booed---they were like wankers....floyds home team thinks they are like
backstreet boys ----ha ha thats perty funny ,an american would kill over FLOYD but there own neighbors are like ..piss off

Lol, I wasn't upset in the slightest. Britney does suck, extremely. Albums sales mean something though, obviously a lot of people like her, mostly teenage girls but still. The thread says are they one of the best bands ever, not the greatest. That's kool you've listened to all their albums, I don't know how you can say they don't rock out. The wall was a rock opera, nearly every album they did something different. Obscured by clouds is a great example of a rockin album. Animals... Sure, a lot of their stuff is slow, but i believe that's because unlike most bands these days they actually had passion for the music and you can really tell and appreciate it. They were one of the best live performers, especially with their light shows. They are a band with many different styles, psychadelic, progressive, but they're mainly classed as classic rock.

On another note, i used to think Led zeppelin were over rated but then i listened to a lot of their songs and now i love them. Most people only know pink floyd for the wall and darkside, possibly wish you were here. They don't know albums like more or atom heart mother, or meddle. Anyway, as i said they are my favourite band and i'm just trying to do them justice, ofcourse you have your own opinion and this won't change the way you view pink floyd. Keep on tokin :)

[Nochowderforyou]

Some led Zeppelin is overrated, like Stairway to Heaven. A fun song to jam on the guitar, but by far not one of their greatest songs.

I guess I just don't see Floyd in the same rock n roll sense as Cream or Led. They are different, a different kind of rock. A mellower rock, more spaced out kind of rock n roll, despite the song Money, which I do love, is a rockin song.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy Floyd, but I guess I just don't see them as legends like everyone else does. Their music is good, but the greatest? No.

Wasn't Dark side of the Moon on the charts for like 700 straight weeks? I remeber reading that somewhere, VERY impressive sales.

I enjoy Floyd's early work with Syd Berret more so than I do Gilmour. They were more rockin then, like Cream or something.

To each his own though, but I really enjoy Comfortably Numb, Wish You Were Here and Money, the most. :thumbsup:

[Purple Banana]

Great songs, I actually like Floyd better after Barrett. It kind of had the same sounds when he was with them, but that's just my 2 cents.

I prefer their live version of SOYCD Part 1, it sounds more pure.

I'm going to see a PF cover band this friday, it's gonna be SWEET.

[Nochowderforyou]

I actually went and saw The Pink Floyd Experience last year I think it was. Anyways, it was just a cover band from Australia, but I mean they sounded JUST like them, with the funky lazer shows and shit. It was a fun time.

[Its a Plant]

they are good but if you arent high seems so boring its nigh unlistenable. high they are great, otherwise boring, that is my opinion. and i dont know about one of the best bands ever. a very good and unique band. that is for sure
This is probably what I agree with most.
They're unique, yes, but I don't feel that they're top 5 even. I agree that you honestly have to be in the right 'mindset' to enjoy them, otherwise they're very slow and spacey. ~

[Hansel]

Floyd are no doubt, one of the best bands ever :D

What a band. Animals is such a brilliant album, well, they're all brilliant albums! But i love Animals.
Saw Roger Waters in June. Made my Summer! :D

I looooove Floyd :D:D:D

Ahem...

[The CAJJACC]

PINK FLOID SUCKS

[MyMARYJANE]

like em. not one of my top 5 though. still a good band :)

[MyMARYJANE]

i also agree w/ the people saying they have to be in the mood to listen to floyd (even though that goes with a lot of music). I agree too that it starts to bore me a little if I'm not stoned and really into it. but this is my opinion, it doesnt mean that they arent one of the greatest. i just dont really see it. dont get me wrong though i do like them. im goin to a laser show in december! :) will be verrrrrrrry baked

[thcbongman]

Floyd is a good band, especially when Syd Barrett was at the helm. I wouldn't consider them in my top 10, but I could imagine a brilliant live show on acid. Too bad, I'll never have the opportunity to experience them live.

[az666]

Yeah I love the band....in my top 3 by a long shot.
Love their music.

haha I'm not surprised if they got booed if you played them at a rave!
lol not exactly rave music.

[zephyrinne]

I saw Roger Waters last month and lemme tell you guys.. one of the best live shows I've ever seen. It was nice seeing a part of Pink Floyd. His band was excellent.. sounded great.

But if we're talking rock n roll bands.. nobody gets better than Zeppelin, the Stones, Who, Doors, Cream. As Nochowder said, Floyd and Zep are just in two different categories of rock. It's hard to compare them. Floyd is psycedelic, more progressive rock.. using exotic sounds and rhythms to define their music. Zep is straight up rock and roll, no bullshit about it.. you know it when you hear it. They ROCK, literally. I could listen to Pink Floyd anytime of the day, but yes, sometimes the music is just better in 'that' mindset.. aka, being high. :)

[MyMARYJANE]

nobody gets better than Zeppelin, the Stones, Who, Doors, Cream
worddddd. the stones fuckin rockkk man!! prob my fave band. if i was forced to pick
