Pink Floyd

I certainly agree with the comparison to the Gateful Dead as far as the "boring factor" is concerned.
After 35 or more years of being bombarded on FM radio with Pink Void's plodding dirges and embarrassingly trite lyrics meant to appeal to supposedly disenfranchised teenagers that are 50 years younger that they are now, I have had more than enough. And all the while, great talents like Johnny Winter and Jethro Tull, just to mention two, might as well have never existed as far as these stations are concerned.

Tough crowd is right! Can't get no respect! Bah dah boom!

This is one band that has been so overexposed who could blame all the yawns? Its a money grab that I am not going to contribute to.

Grab that cash with both hands...

I'd have thought that Tull and Floyd were equally accomplished in the art rock genre of "dirges." At least that's the impression I got from constantly hearing tracks of Aqualung, when I listened to FM radio.

Just heard a funny story about Ian stopping play in the middle of a song to yell at a woman who had gotten up to go pee. Apparently, only allowed between songs . . . . Whatever you say about the music, one thing I liked about Dead shows was being allowed to answer the call as needed ;)

To each their own, of course!
