Is There Any Band Better Then Pink Floyd?
 

Musically ?

Lyrically ?

Doubtful ......

animals is my favorite album of all time.

Fuckin Top band:thumbsup

I got "in the flesh" going right now. Not really pink floyd but damn good

..most of them.

I won't say they suck, because they don't. But, much like M*A*S*H, the time has come and gone. Stop fucking playing it.

M*A*S*H is one of my favorite movies of all time. :Oh crap

I was talking about the TV series. The movie was awesome. The TV show was OK until they let Alda take over and then it got all preachy and annoying.

They are seriously the only band I have never gotten tired of.

Other then The Grateful dead that is.. :winkwink:

:thumbsup

:thumbsup

Thats still on tv over here

yea, every night here for a couple hours too

i find it kinda reassuring just to know that its there

Yeah, but so's Pauline Hanson.

That must be close to the time that hawkeye went into the insane asylum. Terrible

Just waiting for some douchebag to chime in with Coldplay or fucking Oasis or Kanye Talentless West

True I saw her wranger head on tv the other day

That wasn't M*A*S*H, that was a story about Alan Alda.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Led Zeppelin :-)

Ummmmm No

Its no pink floyd but I'm feeling this right now.

Thats funny you post that because I was seriously telling my wife tonight how much I hated depeche mode as apposed to the cure

Oh I love Dave Gahan solo and with Depeche Mode.

What's especially unique about Pink Floyd is that they were able to release concept albums that worked with the masses and received massive popularity. Fed with radio airplay of the songs that are more radio tailored.

This is very unique, especially these days when one has a hard time to think of a current act that could get away with it - probably Tool can get away with a concept album and 10 minute songs and sell millions of copies, but then again they are not this easy to push into a mainstream radio and they have their "tool" fans.

It's actually that they might easily be the least contraversial and best mass accepted band in the history.

There are dozens of bands from the 60s and 70s that were better than these. Comparing them to Floyd shows your musical knowledge.

Floyd are remembered for many reasons, one was their ground breaking approach to music. They did things that had never been done and made it work, coupled with the song writing talents of Roger Waters and David Gilmour they made it work very well.

Saw them three times live. Once when they were all high as kites, Syd was not the only one who liked the chemicals, once in the Rainbow theatre London where they performed Dark side and once in Earls Court where they did The Wall. The last one was one of the best live shows I have ever been to.

Well the feeling is mutual. The Cure is overrated; siamese twins being the only exception.

...for some reason thinking about the cure makes me want to listen to this far superior band :P

Sorry not trying to thread jack, but we all know pink floyd is god. Why beat the dead horse?

There's no better band than Pink Floyd, however honorable mentions to the great Led Zeppelin, The Who and the Stones.. the British make the best music. I'm also a big fan of David Bowie.

:thumbsup

i am pretty sure they released live cds of that show a couple years ago.

i know ive got discs of the wall at earls court in the pile :thumbsup

To damn dependant on the listener. If judged by anything other than preference then they loose really. Can not just work out "better" by itself.

no the floyd rock in all categories :)

best studio band ever i would agree

best live band ever i would say Phish :) no one tears it up the way those boys could (and hopefully will again some day)

Phish?. How old are you?. In your 20s?.
Pink Floyd was amazing live. Genesis had the best light shows.. Both bands know exactly how to play to the crowd and get the crowd into the gig.

I'd agree that Floyd is the best ever.

But the Dead and Zepplin are close behind with The Doors on their tail.

My husband said Pink Floyd and Genesis live were great on 'shrooms!

wtf happened? I clicked once and got 100 posts. Atleast my post count is over 700 now

The fact that you completely missed my point shows your lack of understanding of the the english language.

I got to see Roger Waters with his hired band, play the entire Dark Side of the Moon album at Coachella this year... the show was AMAZING!
Especially since I stayed in the center media area the whole show, while all the other photogs were kicked out :) Standing right next to Sean Penn and some other celebs... who I forget for some reason.
The floating pig and the flying remote controlled plane circling over the crowd ROCKED! Then a HUGE fireworks show that was launched from behind the stage, but completely engulfed it and lit up the crowd like crazy.
Also some pyrotechnics on the stage during the last song or two. so nice :)

Pictures are on my event site... last 4 pages of this gallery

I can't post links yet :)

I'm 45 and I love Phish.

Led Zeppelin were greater than 'em back in the day ...

I guess it depend on what drugs you are taking... but for me there is nothing better... ;)

How can you compare the two... Lamb and Massive attack can maybe be compare to Pink floyd because it's a bit fuck up.. (they are amazing by the way ;))

Led Zeppling is amazing too!! But I think there are a bit different.. but they much have some HOT groupies! lol

I had the privilege of seeing floyd live back in the mid 80's and all I can say is the stage show was fricken Incredible. The lights were simply amazing. Wow, I'm getting old...:pimp

Weird that is my favorite song by them too. Second is probably Never Let Me Down Again.
