How good were Pink Floyd?

I was gonna post that video too

As a big Pink Floyd fan, and a guitarist, Gilmour is in my top 3 guitarists of all time....probably top 1 tbh....but i have always found him "hard to like"....in most interviews he tends to be very defensive, or grumpy or just a bit cantankerous....however, this is a great interview....i really enjoyed it

Not to mention that he recently came out as a Zionist, sadly.

Individually and collectively they must be good like Yes......but God, for 50 years, I've to ' get into them ' and can't.

Yeah, it breaks my heart because it's made it hard for me to listen to those amazing records. Similar with Radiohead.

He used to do benefits for Palestinians . I think he is strongly influenced by his wife.

In the original sense of the word? Or some bastardised interpretation of it as per usual political shite argument?

Fantastic groundbreaking band. Just a shame all the falling out and law suits behind the scenes overshadow their work.

Just curious what you mean with regards to Radiohead?

I don’t think Thom Yorke is a Zionist. I think the point may have been that Radiohead were PF imitators . . . only without the gift of melody, whingier and much more contemptuous of their fanbase than Floyd.
