How good were Pink Floyd?

[sir baconface]

Just wow!

Seriously, if anyone can watch that and not be deeply moved, then I suggest you consider a heart transplant because you must have something wrong with yours.

Hospital appointment booked :)

In my opinion, not worthy of the adulation they receive: they did some good stuff and some mediocre stuff.

 

[baggy]

For me they started with Meddle, peaked with Dark Side and tailed off after the Final Cut.

No denying they have produced one of the best albums ever made and have been one of the most successful bands in history.

The Roger Waters years...

 

[bluebaja]

As musicians, pretty average, instrumentally Gilmour was the most talented

They usually had a bunch of very talented session musicians on stage on theyre big tours

Lucky for them they had 2 great writers, first Barrett the Waters

Exactly.

 

[OnlyOneUweRosler]

Some of their songs were great.

 

[RobinHood]

Very.

 

[andyhinch]

Very vacant .

Bit harsh, if you like them probably great, I’m a bit in both camps, some great stuff some up there own arse at times, but you can level that at most groups then and now

Groan....

I see there is a release of this Nick Mason / Gary Kemp outfit that plays Syd and lesser known post-Syd Floyd songs. I like a lot of this material but I don't think I'll ever get my head around Kemp doing it. Though to be fair what little I've heard sounds OK.
