You have an autocorrect that defaults to ECM records? I approve.

As we don't have an AI music thread yet, I guess this is the best place for this. Im not keen on this but will try and reserve judgement for now

Pink Floyd could release new music despite being 'over' for a decade
Reunions don't have to mean forgiveness.

No thanks.
It would probably be better than Waters’ new version of Dark Side of the Moon though

I'm not a massive fan of post-barrett floyd, however 10 years ago I saw 4 blokes in a pub doing a PInk Floyd set and it was superb... I suspect it was a retirement project.. Anyway, their stuff certainly works well live.

Have got 2 x upper stalls tickets for Aussie Pink Floyd on Saturday october 19th in Portsmouth thanks to my tosser of a brother refusing to pay me for his ticket. So now seeking to get rid as it would cost me more to travel and stay at Portsmouth and I don’t have the funds for that
I can’t really afford to give them away unfortunately so keen to get full price if possible - which is £55 each . If you’re interested send me a PM
I don’t have the tickets yet - they’re emailed around 7-10 days beforehand - but hopefully you can trust I’m not a confidence trickster and I can send a copy of the receipt from the ticket vendor.

Shame you can't go. Gilmour was right when he said "in all honesty they are probably live than we were"
They tour constantly through so another chance won't be too far away.

Had I known I would have this family issue meaning no bed at brothers I would have booked their concert that’s on down the road! But that’s sold out now
Yeah will be able to catch them next year

As you may have seen I am seeing APF in London soon. I am happy to leave a report; can I get you a programme perhaps, or some merch?

There is a new Syd Barrett documentary out but it's £30 on Blu Ray and £20 on DVD. All these new and special editions they are releasing are nothing but a cash grab. Whoever owns Pink Floyd as a corporate entity are pretty shameless. At least Gilmour isn't shy of making massive donations to charity so that is something I guess.

Ah it's this box here
Some right miserable bastards slagging off Pink Floyd on some pages.
Cripes. One of the most successful British bands ever. Talented musicians.
If you don't dig an artist, fine. But the personality assassinations, statements X albums are all bland posh rubbish as if fact, are weird.
Some people would slag off a child and the brand of ice cream he was enjoying as everything that's wrong with kids of the day.
Cheer the fuck up.

We all have bands we hate. Live and let live.

Exactly. I should be free to slag off any band I want to. This was started as a Pink Floyd hate thread and has been ruined

I like Floyd, I will admit my music taste is not particularly sophisticated. I don’t mind though, I am never getting any cool points on the music forum.
I have always thought this post explains both their enduring appeal and also why they get a lot of hate on urban

Changing the facts
I really really don't like Pink Floyd.
Turgid bloated self indulgent wank. Insufferable spoilt hide-bound self-regarding men making up-the-arse blinkered studio bound self-referential circle-jerk music.
Once Syd was gone, so was the jagged edge that opens up new veins for the life-blood to flow out. They got into an awful eddy where they didn't seem to be aware of anything outside of their own tiny tight little vortex.
It's like they exist in a world where they were the only band permitted to make music. Nothing pushing them from outside, nothing but the expectation and injunction to produce yet another LP for people who reckon they're the pinnacle of creative achievement. The money men sucking their dicks and saying "More of that! Make more of this so we can keep selling it to people who want the security of remembering how far out they felt when they first heard it!" It's like a sleight of hand trick and seeing how it's done reveals the boring bolted-together scaffolding of it.
They never seemed to develop or extend what they were doing beyond what the studio could provide.
I don't like the band. I've never liked their music. One or two tracks have piqued my interest when I first heard it, but the slightest familiarity made me crumble up inside. It just doesn't go anywhere except back to itself.
That's my opinion. It's a fact inside my head and governs certain choices I make. You can't tell me I'm wrong, any more than I can't tell a PF fan they're wrong for hearing and recieving a completely different experience.
I know loads of people love the band. Loads of people don't, too. There's space in the world for both.
Disliking PF doesn't make me a miserable bastard. I love music, it gives me enormous joy. PF can make feel miserable sometimes though. Genuinely, to me their music feels like Sunday Sickness.
Being famous successful and talented doesn't necessarily correlate with artistic merit. That's just capitalist metrics.
Personality assassinations? Really? The discussion and debate about the public displays of character aren't assassination FFS.
I'm pretty sure you wouldn't dig a lot of the bands I'm into. That's cool. I love chatting about music and discussing why I like something you don't and visa versa. Sitting up all night and taking turns to play stuff to each other and being amazed at where we agree or diverge.
Not liking your music isn't a personal attack. Although, I've seen how PF fans almost more than anyone else outside of teenage girls do feel like they're being personally insulted when the band is criticised. It's another aspect of why I dislike PF... what's with this super-association dude?
And what's this odd analogy you constructed about kids of today being slagged off for their choice of ice-cream. So... criticising PF is like unfairly having a go at the kids? Brilliant
It's alright Kris Silver . You can love PF and I can dislike them all day long and neither of us is harmed or even affected by each other's opinion.
