I've been around a while, heard a thousand bands, and I am not sure anyone has matched Pink Floyd. Maybe some come close, but PF are the kings imo. (Yes, I think they are better than the Beatles).

Even if you don't like PF, you have to admit they are some of the best composers ever in the rock genre. Their music has so many levels to the sound. Even when I am stone cold sober, I feel like I just smoked a huge bowl when I listen to them.

Then the question is, which Pink Floyd? They've been so many different bands. Syd Barrett's Piper at the Gates of Dawn was completely different from David Gilmore's PF without Waters. At first listen I'm sure one would be surprised to find out that both were the same band.

Musical taste is, of course, subjective, but I agree with you. In my opinion Pink Floyd is the greatest rock band of all time.

I don't want to speak for OP but I imagine anytime someone talks about PF they're talking about the main iteration from 1968 (beginning of gilmour) up through 1983 (last with roger).

That run IS pink floyd.

YES.

I personally find pink floyd kinda boring, to each their own.

I also prefer improvised music over composed music though.

Agree. I love Gilmour and the others but it wasn't PF anymore.

I have come to appreciate them even more as im older. All of it. hell ill put on the endless river bluray and just fall asleep to it.

I put on the delicate sound of thunder stream the other morning to watch while i sipped coffee and read tigerdroppings.


They are my favorite British rock band for sure.

I currently have the wall, darkside of the moon, obscured by clouds, sourceful of secrets, endless river, animals, atom heart mother and a momentary lapse of reason.

Still need a few more.

I only clicked on this thread because I thought it was about Floyd Rose tremolo systems.

The OP said they were better than The Beatles. So, I would call HIM "THAT guy".

Dark Side of the Moon would trump any playlist you could put together by itself.

They are near the top for me mainly because it is still the best "rock concert" I ever saw.
