What do you look like...

[Chuffy]

Ridiculous. You are mad. WHAT A LOAD OF BOLLOCKS.

Is there noone with taste on here?

You could go to London and scoop up 100 wittering loons like him. Syd era Floyd were a good band, but never underestimate the power of post-freakout/death mythologising.

 

[Chuffy]

Dub Side of the Moon is good mind.

Got a copy of that. Skips like a perky ten year old.

WTF is that supposed to mean? that's exactly what I'm saying.

-syd barrett invented pink floyd
-syd barrett ****ed it up
-pink floyd started to make albums about him (imagine the beatles doing that)
-syd barrett got mentally better and dave gilmour helped him make 2 of the best albums ever.
-pink floyd carried on making money deviously LIKE THE PUBLIC SCHOOLBOYS SHYSTERS THEY ALWAYS WERE daffodils.

now **** off and come back when you've got some knowledge about the subject.

 

[MacB]

Yes. At the risk of digressing, have you read the new ones and should I bother?

nope, read the first 2 trilogies in my teens, then revisited last year before trying the new ones. The originals weren't as good as I remembered, no surprise there, but the new ones are pretty poor. Fortunately borrowed rather than bought them.

Syd Barrett didn't get mentally better. Ever. He did get well enough to create a couple of albums, but with plenty of help. They aren't great. They just have a superficial 'created by a fried genius' glamour. They barely stand up on their own merits.

So Syd Barrett started the band. So what? And what were the rest of the band meant to do after he imploded, go off and be accountants? The post-Syd stuff is the really good stuff. Pedalling the Syd era as being some highwater mark of artistic veracity is just the worst kind of fanboy drivel.

Tom waits circa 1975. Playing pool with midgets and playing cards.

And the cards have naked girls on the back.

So, naked girl or midget. Which one's you?
