one time, a foo fighters cover band listened to fleet foxes and said "let's try to be folk like them but make all the songs an expression of the crushing darkness i'm feeling as a result of my recent breakup"

That's pretty wrong, Pink Floyd is a thing pretty much every new generation of stoners gets into. It'd be a shame to never have listened through dark side when stoned.

Just wait for your next trip (get it trip hahaha) to the dentist's office. Listen to it then if ever because otherwise it's just not worth the effort.

Well to be fair, the rest kinda cut off; they're meant to be played sequentially. Like, you can't play Breathe on its own without having a really jolted ending. But also Money was the single for the album and time is the big rocky anthemic track

On the local old dadrock station where I live, every track from Dark Side had been played at one point or another. For a few years the station had a thing called the 'Friday Night Floyd Fix', it was pretty eclectic. You'd hear the played-out-as-hell tracks like Money and Run Like Hell, but then there'd be some deep cuts from the Barrett era or weird poo poo like "Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave Grooving with a Pict" or "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun", sometimes they'd play the full studio version of "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" or even "Echoes".

I haven't listened to Pink Floyd in forever, save for the occasional listen to The Final Cut. I just really like that bleak poo poo and allusions to the early '80s Cold War. I should give some of the other albums a shot again, I dunno.

I am retarded for Pink Floyd but hate Roger Waters. I don't like The Wall much and The Final Cut is the only album I don't own. Wait a minute, I know that Roger is the lyrical force behind the Floyd, I know that poo poo but Godammit dude let go of The Wall LET IT GO HE'S DEAD.

It's true, The Wall is a massively overrated, self-indulgent, and overall pretty mediocre with all the filler.

Mumford & Sons are great at what they do. Their songs produce an emotional response, and evoke an interesting combination of hopefulness and melancholy. Most of the people who slag them have only heard the few songs on the radio, and they hate those songs because they've heard them a lot, not because they are bad songs.

Goons get mad about the dumbest loving things, so it's nothing to worry about, OP.

Mumford & Sons are a bunch of rich guys doing music that is traditionally the domain of poor or at most middle class people. They are literally wearing poor-face.

Also their music sounds like The Dubliners but if the Dubliners were a bunch of limp wristed rich boy faggots.

I would entertain an argument that the people who make the best music often times get rich.

I would not entertain an argument that says people who are rich because their daddy gave them a trust fund make the best music. Especially when that music is all supposed to be sad and about how much life sucks and they are lonely or whatever. I just don't buy that from a man who probably grew up sleeping on a bed made of solid gold while his prostitute nannies took turns sucking him off.

Mumford & Sons are fake folk music Robin Thicke.

rich people get music lessons, quality instruments to learn on, and get to go to high schools and universities that are dedicated to being music programs, where they are surrounded by industry people.

you know, instead of having to work a lovely minumum wage job while in public school so you can buy a used squier guitar and being forced strongly encouraged to take out crippling loans to attend generic business school, and ultimately end your life as that weirdo bass player in a cover band who wears novelty hats and cant keep a rhythm because he's too busy trying to be the next les claypool in his own mind

That's cool. I actually think she's kinda alright I just think it's weird how she can say she's a gangsta and everyone in the music journalism industry nods their head like that's not a stupid rich person thing to say and yet they rabidly snarl about Mumford's authenticity because they play folk music but are some kinda rich white dudes.

Like, either we hate all rich people who make "poor people" or pretend to be music/pretend to be "just like you poors" or we don't, can't have your cake and eat it right?
