But look at what he turned Pink Floyd into! All of Prog Rock is their fault, you know.

floyd is fun from a sound engineering perspective. i really enjoy some of their songs but i wouldnt want to sit through an entire concert.

as for aphex twin, you are missing out if you havent listened to him. its really relaxing good music way ahead of its time. if its boring to you, go listen to some gabber or trance or some other crap electronic music.

After 1983, Pink Floyd is just a joke. Dark Side of the Moon is one of the greatest albums of all time, changed rok n'roll, and only left the top 100 selling albums for a week for two decades.

I've been to 8 of their concerts. While the later ones with only some of the members weren't as good as the earlier ones, I've never been disappointed. My favorite was the one where they did Wish you were here, Animals, and Dark Side. My favorite concert ever, and I went to a LOT of concerts back then.

I like Yes and ELP more than Pink Floyd but DSOTM is my favorite of their albums (I just have to be in the right 'state of mind').

I like The Wall just because I think David Gilmour does some amazing guitar work through most of the album.

The guitar solos for "Mother" and "Comfortably Numb" are awesome. The rhythm work for The Wall and Young lust are good, too.

Alright - how about the song "Great Gig In The Sky". What exactly is so horrible about that?

Or the song "Wish You Were Here"? What is it that makes it such a supposed 'calamity'.

I'll admit that a ton of prog rockers were horrible - I HATE ELP. But Pink Floyd did some very worthy stuff!

Why hasn't anyone voted for "Atom Heart Mother"? I mean it's got a song called "Funky Dung" on it.

I like the Final Cut, but I like "Animals" better.

Agathon: It just got a vote .

And Funky Dung is hardly a song, considering that it's just a part of the instrumental title "Atom Heart Mother". There are 3 real songs on this album: If, Summer '68 and Fat Old Sun.

Yes, but "Funky Dung" is the coolest name of any PF song, "Careful with that Axe Eugene" coming in a close second.

I'd forgotten about that one but I still like "Funky Dung" the best because it conjures up a more esoteric image than SSOSFAGTIACAGWAP.

Isn't it a "Pict", as in ancient Caledonian?
