Pink Floyd

He's under the mistaken impression that everyone, including his band mates is a total knob head.

No wonder Gilmore hates him.

not sure I've ever heard him say anything like that.

My impression is because he became so dominant during the Animals, Wall & Final Cut albums (even firing & re-hiring Rick Wright) the rest of the band thought he was the knob-head.

Honestly, when you listen to the 3 Pink Floyd albums post-Waters then I have to side with Roger on this one. He was all about quality-control while in the band.

Indeed, Doc.

I love mid 60s Floyd.

See Emily Play, Arnold Layne etc.....Psychedelia at its best before it morphed into full on Prog.

The Nice was another of my favourite bands back then when I was a teenager.

Psych was an amazing time in music, there is so much good stuff from back then especially that whole 'Cambridge scene' that bore Pink Floyd and stuff like Soft Machine who are massively underrated imo.

Point taken. Wish i'd never mentioned it now! People, stop making me listen to rap!

Soft Machine had Daevid Allen for a bit. I'm a big Gong fan, I've heard they fit into something called the Canterbury psy-folk scene...not sure about that, but I do love 'em. Saw them live in early-00's back when Daevid & Gilly were still of this world...so much joy!

Very different to Pink Floyd: less serious, deffo...still lots of very good musik:

The German scene was the natural successor to a lot of Brit 60's psy-pop. Check these out:

And these, especially if you like early Floyd:

And dare I say it.....The Quo cut some great tracks in their early Psych days, before they hit on three chord, blue denim rock

Like many bands, when Quo put their 3 bar classics to acoustic guitars, you realised just how good they actually were.

Think it was Danny Baker who made the point best, (Writing good simple songs that is), "Give it a go, play it, record it, then send it to a publisher. Then the next week, put on Best of Madness. Simple genius. Easy it is not"

Pictures of Matchstick Men is an amazing tune, it's defo one of the best things they ever did, and a standout tune of that era. I really like these guys, very underrated

Went to see them at Earles Court in 94 about two weeks after I'd given up smoking, every other person seemed to be spliffing up. I just inhaled all night to get me through. Belting concert, still haven't smoked since, great training.

Loved the Floyd, saw them on a number of occasions, notably the Bath festival in 1970, Liverpool Empire in the same year (just after Ummagumma) and in Hyde Park. Wish you were here is probably my favourite as I can listen to the whole album right the way through....Meddle, Obscured by Clouds, and DSOTM also prominent. Best band ever is of course as folk have pointed out very subjective but we all have our favourites which is right and proper.......wouldn't have it any other way. Someone earlier mentioned Miles Davis - his Kind of Blue album influenced not only future "jazz" artists, but a lot of rock artists as well...

I like the more obscure psychedelia. In my opinion, these two are near the top of the best ever psychedelic songs :

Piper at the Gates of Dawn was named after a chapter in Wind of the Willows.

Favourite Floyd ?
