Pink Floyd, Why?

if you don't like them any explanation would be pointless
you can't ask someone to explain to you the reason why pink floyd are great. i guess that wouldn't help ya
plus why d'you care if you don't like 'em?
 
Can you guys please tell me why they are so great? I don't like them nor dislike them, but I see so many people everywhere, really into them. Also, recommend some songs, to help me decide. Not, for goodness sake, Another Brick In The Wall.
 
You may be high but still have the decency to not show everyone your balls even if one is black and the other is white...And look Jesus is watching what you do.
 
You a King Crimson fan?


I always like how they use different time sigs in the same song....Fripp will be playing something in 7/8 and Tony Levin will be playing something in 4/4...It creates a great off ballance effect.
 
I don't think Vanilla is going to appreciate the longer pink floyd songs. Sure they're good to a lot of experienced listeners but for her I'm thinking her listening span will teeter at around 6 minutes.
 
He may be more technicaly skilled, but i have never heard a Dragonforce solo that even comes close to Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Echoes and Dogs in rich melody or emotion...Listening to a good gilmour solo is a religious experience.
 
Barrett-era floyd were simply a mind-fuck, huge, psychedelic swirls and disorientating light shows- they were pioneers of the british psychedelic scene, and despite the fact a lot of barretts stuff was hippy rarabling full of fantasy, gnomes, nursery ryhmes and acid-laden chaos, it struck a chord with the context of the time and theres certainly something very deep and meaningful about his work with floyd. songs from this phase of floyd:

astronomy domine
see emily play
arnold layne
interstellar overdrive
lucifer sam
bike
cirrus minor
the happiest days of our lives
remeraber a day

post-barrett floyd saw gilmour and waters (one of the best guitarists and bassists britians ever produced) strike up a creative, volatile relationship which spawned barren, darker music that belonged more to the outer-reaches of the solar system then in your living room CD collection. some classic albums are wish you were here and the two i dont really need to mention.

great gig in the sky
sheep
wish you were here
learning to fly
money
comfortably nurab
shine on you crazy diamond (a tribute to barrett)
set the controls for the heart of the sun
another brick in the wall.
 
i think they are very good, one of my favorites in fact.
Money
Comfortably Nurab
Wish You Were Here
Shine on You Crazy Diamond (both parts)
Time
Have a Cigar (awesome bass intro)
Hey You
Us and Them

all great songs, IMO
