Pink Floyd has one of the most unique and enjoyable sounds of any band that I have heard, and believe me, I have heard a lot. I'll tell you something else. Just because you don't appreciate REAL music doesn't mean that there aren't others around who don't. If you want to criticize a band, do so to one that deserves criticism. In the mean time, get a real life. ;-) Arthur Dent P.S. Some really bad groups to rag on include the following: Twisted Sister Essentially aural rectal inversion. Whitesnake Give me real heavy metal. Wham! Gutless whimps. KISS Why did they ever come back? Starship Sellouts to top 40. Mr. Mister (or whatever) Boozhwah. Kool and the Gang Make me want to throw up. Culture Club B P C and G's. Phil Collins Overrated top 40 demi-god. etc. etc. etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Attention ... attention, failure to comply may result in prosecution for criminal drug evasion.
