if you dislike most of those bands, then you arent listening to the right songs.

If you are refering to me Passit420. I think that I've heard too much of it. Sick of it.

I can honestly say that I've heard 90% of Floyd's songs. And actually they are one of my least favorites. In my opinion (and I'm ok with people thinking I'm wrong), there's a lot of weak lyrics, the production is some of the best out there, but overall what is it about them that really grabs you??? Nothing really does for me. Spaceyness, generic, lots of talent.... little direction. But this is totally just my opinion.

what albums though. i cannot imagine a single person who can honestly not like their music for what it is. what draws me to them is their ability to grab my soul and send it on a journey. their music is almost hypnotic and well written. Weak lyrics? all of their lyrics have meaning, just read roger waters biography, you will learn. and their sound is far from generic. if you can sa
y this then you must be listening to a different floyd.

also, how can you like rock and not like zeppelin. they are as pure rock as it gets, imo they have the best lyrics in the world. it is incorporated into their music flawlessly. best lyricist and guitarist combo the world will ever see.

also if you havent listened to all the floyd albums all the way through then you cant say they arent good. their albums all capture a different feeling.

Well I think my deal with Zepplin is that there's so much that's stemmed from it, it kinda makes Page and Plant seem generic. I don't care for thier song structure, choice in melodies, seems forced a lot of times. I think the classical influence of Jimmy Page's guitar seems too structured, and less personal. Robert Plant's vocals fills thier style so well, I think that he gets so much respect because of that unknowingly. There's so much better music out there.

I've heard every single Floyd album many times. For I have them all. Yet haven't listened to any of them in over 4 years... tell me why I do that. Music has progressed. Good music may not be in the mainstream anymore but search it out! I think music has became more and more personal... but I agree lacks more and more in the global area.

you have every floyd album, yet you seem to hate them? what the fuck? which albums do you have? i want to know. you have been avoiding this question. also you have listened to all of them many times. why? you obviously dont like them. i know there is good new music out there, i listen to it, but why would i go searching for more when i am more than satisfied with what i listen to. maybe if i ever do get sick of the music i listen to, i will "search it out." but you should show more respect for the bands that your favoirte bands were heavily influenced by and stop trying to play them off to being generic. they were original, something most of the bands today seem to lack.

I apologize. I didn't mean to piss you off. Seriously. I am just trying to have a lighthearted debate about music. I'm sorry.
