Pink Floyd are shit

Get fucked. You’re shit

They're only slightly less shit than The Doors

That's a horrible insult. I do like some of thwir music.

I like the Doors more than Floyd. Jim Morrison’s poetry is utterly self indulgent wankness....but he was a great frontman and the rest of the band had a cool dynamic sound.

Bovidae

@Nepia I wasn't a PF fan at all during my teenage years.

For this thread, The Wall wouldn't be in my Top 3 of their albums.

Bones

@NTA yeah they're average as and I was a bit of a stoner too. @Snowy bloody good memory!

Oh and just to rub it in I've seen Waters live a couple of years ago.

@Snowy Sauces. North London has lots of sauces. I've met journalists who have interviewed them, roadies who worked with them, shop keepers and waiters who have served them, cabbies who have driven them. The reputation of Pink Floyd is as being massive divas.

They are big mates with Jeremy Corbyn and supporters of the BDS movement too. Their uber left-wing, preachy activism matched with their personal conspicuous consumption is irritating. Roger Waters has shared a stage with known antisemites and Holocaust deniers. He claimed, without evidence, that Israel was to blame for the death of George Floyd. He accused the White Helmets of faking Asad's chemical strike on Douma in 2016.

Love the music, but can't stand them as people.

I appreciated them late. Learning to fly, comfortably numb, money, time. The music is excellent

I think brilliant musicianship often goes part and parcel with being a cock.

It’s when you’re a cock AND the music is shit ( U2, Oasis, Bieber, Kanye West ) that it’s unforgivable

That's harsh, or just music people wankery , on 3 of them.

A mate of mine who was a radio DJ interviewed the Beastie Boys and they were dicks, makes it a wee bit harder to listen to someones music when you know they're dickheads.

@MN5 oh come on now, you're nowhere near as talented as those guys.

I think Prince is one of the greatest artists of all time but he sounds like he was an absolute cock. I can seperate the two comfortably.

Great example. Yet I’ll happily turn off Gary Glitter. I’m such a hypocrite

Kanye West's music is total shite.

Kanye's early stuff was bloody good. Then his music disappeared up his arse with the rest of him.

Also I thought that would be a popular opinion around this place anyway.

A bit like U2. They've done little good since Achtung Baby

The Black album was a necessity for Metallica's longevity.
