This one has potential...

(I can't wait for rank.)

should this be limited to the bloated post-syd barrett floyd? or is this all-encompassing?

If it's called 'Pink Floyd', you have to count it. I say CRAP when it's all said and done.

not crap.

even though a lot of their stuff blows, the whole Dark Side/Wizard of Oz deal won me over...

andyk

total crap with one exception... Syd. after that, it's all shite.

The Pink Floyd were for their time/and still are a mind melt. Syd pushed it as far he could & never came back. Anything after that is crap and we have that creep Roger Waters to thank.

this is not playing crap/not crap

you cannot have exceptions

we have to be able to tell DEFINITIVELY if you think the artiste at hand is crap or not crap

please read the 'how to play' part in the crap/not crap forum thing

it's very important to stake a claim rather than lay your stake halfheartedly on the ground

example:

pink floyd is crap psychedelia for beer drinkers. the first couple albums, ok as they are, are swamped out by opaque bilge. roughly as good as the grateful dead, who were at least able to handle their drugs for the most part.

thanks

Maybe today's hangover isn't as bad because I;m agreeing with Dylan. or maybe it's because I'm listening to Blood On The Tracks.
