Bluehammer's 'Top 100 Greatest Songs of All Time'

[OB1]

Don't get me wrong here. Gilmour sang two of my top 10 Floyd tracks. Wish you were here and Shine on you crazy diamond, and I think he's up there with the best on guitar. I have have 3 solo albums of his. About Face, On An Island and Rattle That Lock. It's just that can't bring myself to feel chilled out to appreciate them TBH. I think I need to be marooned on a desert Island with a bag of 'cheese' to really appreciate his solo stuff, but I rarely smoke that nowadays. Waters on the other hand is moodily edgy and lyrically thought provoking. I play Waters solo stuff regularly.

I expect a bollocking sooner or later from @OB1 on my Floyd views; )

No bollocking but I'm more of a Gilmour man than a Waters. Frankly, they were both at their best when they were working together.

I have several Radihead albums and have no doubt they are one of the most overrated bands ever with the most overrated album ever.

Wash your mouth out man. Radiohead are a fantastic band who's music legacy won't be too far behind that of Floyd's in years to come.

I see ‘Two Princes’ still hasn’t featured...

I know you prefer having Gilmour having told me more than once previously; ) And I agree they worked best together and most probably will never work together again, sadly.

The Division Bell is a very good album but Wish You Were Here is about as good as it gets. Love that album.

Gilmour is a God in my eyes but should really stick to playing/ occasional writing.

Gilmour is a bit to influenced by his Maud nowadays to make seriously great music and allied to Richard Wright being no longer with us his mojo for studio music is not what it was, that said the man has put together one seriously good fucking band together for his live stuff as the last Live in Pompeii will attest. Back to Mark’s choice of Poles Apart well it’s decent but my personal choice off the division bell is Cluster One, all about preference.

I would love a remake of the Fletcher Memorial Home with a few new additions to the rouges gallery added.

Early Radiohead were brilliant. Later Radiohead not so.

Coldplay on the other hand are dire.

Best review ever by Robert Christgau about Kid A (which he liked, mind you): "Alienated masterpiece nothing -- it's dinner music. More claret?"

Christgau, btw, also detests Pink Floyd for the most part.

I agree. Last good album by Radiohead was 'In Rainbows'. I think 'The King Of Limbs' was turgidly dreadful, and I don't think 'A Moon Shaped Pool' is much better, definitely needs more listening time but like Floyd they seem to be tailing of to a sad demise of their former magnificence.

And as popular a band Coldplay are, why have a burger when you can eat steak? Radiohead were fine steak back in their pomp but Coldplay were(to me) merely an insipid burger that got stuck in my throat too many times for my liking.

Music critics have no bearing whatsoever on music I like mate.
