How good were Pink Floyd?

[BimboBob]

Not a Floyd fan but this is spectacular.
Bowie does his bit then steps back to admire the brilliance.
Not often Bowie is outalented but he's like a star struck kid here.
Great production.

The twat at the back dancing would have got a right hook...Bowie has never had the greatest voice but he coped well...eventually.

Ha ha I thought exactly the same, he looks like he's dancing to a completely different song .

Not a fan myself, though a handful of songs I quite like. What I will say is I know a few people that are fans and they son’t seem to like a good chunk of their albums either, I think they agree on about 4 that are great and then argue amongst themselves which of the rest they dislike the most, and which are okay.

I love the Pink Floyd arguments :)

A very rare audio interview with Syd Barrett

Not for me but then its all about personal taste.

Just got one of their Best of albums which has some great songs. However I find the Syd Barrett era music really difficult to listen as in I think the songs sound flat and without a decent tune. But it’s all a matter of taste.

I don’t think “best of”’s do Floyd any justice tbh….they’re the ultimate album band.

All I know about Pink Floyd is they bored me to tears as a teenager on ToTP
Then I discovered Shine on Crazy Diamond.
And years later I heard Comfortbly numb.
Brilliant.
Not a massive rock fan and don't know anything about the group or history,.but those two tracks changed my life.
Looking back..that long monotonous track from the 70s is bang on.
I just couldn't see it at the time.
