I'm not really into Floyd but the fact there's a laser Floyd show travelling the country in the year 2014 and people still pay to see it is hilarious.

They're probably using lasers from 2014 tho...which I assume are much more badass and exciting

I gotta say that the lasers I saw at Floyd shows in the late 80s and early 90s were pretty badass and exciting, even by today's standards... Certainly a lot more badass and exciting than the music was.

I kid, plus this one hot girl I knew loved it a lot even though you'd probably pin her as a ke$ha type. so i hosed to a lot of pink floyd blasting which was weird, made me think "was I actually concieved this way?"

i also never used a condom because we were always literally high and drunk as gently caress

that sounds cool why didn't you marry her? My nice stable gf doesn't listen to any cool music when we get at it. I'm the wierdo that's gotta put on type o negative

Rush and Tool for starters I think. I'm sure I can be pedant'ed into being wrong. Math and weird time signatures from that. Instead of 4/4 its like 5/4 or 7/16 or 9/16 or whatever.

If it's got pretentious lyrics based on sci-fi and/or fantasy and the songs are 15+ minutes long and feature lots of really complicated solos then it's probably prog.

I can listen to the entirety of the wall in the time it takes me to mow my lawn, weedeat, and blow off the driveway side walks and patios. It's almost perfect timing.

So that's just one reason among many that pink Floyd, waters, and the wall all own and the op is a moron

my best pink floyd moment was when i was on a bus in west yorkshire

some really loving depressed looking bald man got on with his wife+kids. he turns on a lovely pocket tape recorder that plays comfortably numb out of its tinny speaker and just sits staring into space looking like poo poo. then his kid tells him to "turn that noise off" and he just does it

The Echoes greatest hits was kind of bullshit because they edited some of the songs. But really looking back on it it was a good selection of the stuff you need to hear to have a general sense of the band's output on the whole.

The Wall is/was terrible and I just don't understand the continuing obsession with it among younger/new listeners considering the other options available in the PF catalog. Must be the readily available graphic tees and blacklight posters available from kooky stores at the mall that sell sexy birthday cards and lava lamps.

its because its a great album.

And if that 15-minute song has several different sections-- a multi-part suite, if you will-- with classical instruments like flutes, harpsichords, church organs or spacey Moog poo poo, you're definitely listening to prog. And it is awesome.

Exhibit A: King Crimson.
