I have most of the other CDs you mentioned, all great. As far as your comments about aging hippies, well, I got into them about a year ago, and I am 29 now. Went to see a Floyd tribute band a few months ago, and they cemented my new found love of Floyd. Great atmospheric music, but I can see why its not to everyones taste, it is definately an aquired taste. Have to agree.....acquired=refined perhaps? ;) Been a fan of PF for many years......the CD collection posted above reminded me of the fact that a lot of today's bands cannot play live for toffee. Dave Gilmour does one thing, thats play Fender Strat like no-one else on the planet. No need for showmanship - the music speaks for itself. Mark Knopfler.. Carlos Santana.. Eric Clapton.. All boring live??? :rolleyes: I was a fan of The White Stripes and Razorlight until I saw them at Glastonbury this year. They were 'awful', to be honest and I was gutted. Elvis Costello on the other hand, who I've never liked, blew me away as did Athlete, Doves and K T Tunstall. All about being 'in the moment' I guess and that only comes with experience and raw talent. A lot of new artists have neither. Pete Doherty's performance with Elton John at Live8 is case in point.......what an ar5e he made of himself, but then that's his style. Lyrically brilliant, musically talentless........only reason Pete is so popular currently is because of his much publicised drug abuse in The Libertines, his prison time, and the expectation in the media that he will pop his clogs very soon, catapulting him up as yet another rock martyr who died before his best material with his new band, Babyshambles. What a load of b*llocks. Anyway, good thread....long live the Floyd. They deserve extra meals on wheels rations for that little shindig. :cool: |

Cringe value... 14 out of 10.....!!! |

For you, (baggie) to slag someone like Brian Wilson off as part of your boring moanathon about Floyd, shows what very limited musical knowledge you possess..... |

The gig was in 3 sets, & the second set was the entire, "Smile" album from start to finish! At the end of the, "Smile" set, there was a standing ovation which lasted for 15 minutes. And then everyone remained standing for the rest of the gig!! Fantastic stuff!!!:D:D |

Yes, it was me that said it. It was a disgrace. I'm not a fan of Craig David at the best of times, but what kind of muppet can screw up such good material. I felt like throwing stuff at the tv when he started trying to rap in the middle of it. :mad: JTL |
