United Kingdom (1965 – present)
Pink Floyd (formed 1965 in Cambridge, United Kingdom) is a British band noted for psychedelic rock and progressive rock music, philosophical lyrics, avant-garde compositions, sonic experimentation, innovative cover art and elaborate live shows. One of rock music’s most successful and influential acts, the group have sold an estimated 73.5 million albums in the U.S., and over 300 million albums worldwide.
Pink Floyd enjoyed modest success in the late-1960s as a psychedelic band led by Syd Barrett. Barrett’s increasingly erratic behaviour eventually caused his colleagues to replace him after The Piper at the Gates Of Dawn with guitarist David Gilmour. (Syd Barrett died on July 7, 2006 of complications arising from diabetes.) The band went on to record several elaborate concept albums; achieving worldwide success with 1973’s The Dark Side of the Moon (The second best-selling album of all time), 1975’s Wish You Were Here, 1977’s Animals, and 1979’s The Wall, among the best-selling, most critically acclaimed, and enduringly popular albums in rock music history. In 1985, singer and bassist Roger Waters declared Pink Floyd defunct. The remaining members continued recording and touring under the name, eventually reaching a settlement with Waters giving them rights to the name and most of the songs.

I think 'underappreciated' is all right. You're not really saying other people are wrong, more than other people aren't aware of them. You're just saying that you don't think they've got the exposure they deserve. Nothing wrong with that.

Nothing wrong with posting your opinion, but I just hate that under/overrated bullshit. People here keep saying that when they want to say they like or dislike something. It's way worst than just saying you don't like it because it puts your taste over everybody else's.

I only mentioned money, because it's no 1 in his charts... so yeah, the rest of the album is better than money, but obviously the guy who critizises me for critizising this album thinks this is the best Floyd song... and see, even you agree that it's overrated...

Wow. So you're basing your opinion about the entire album on one song? Silly. Not a single album I've come across consists of pure musical genius in every song. Money happens to be overrated I agree, but nevertheless it's an important part of the album cause of it's statements about society and it's messages.

yeah right, just because some Swedish people obviously dislike HammerFall I lose the argument, even though most of the rest European metal scene would be on my side... great logic! You are such an arrogant asshole, why do you even care? I didn't even insult DSOTM, I just said, it's overrated, I didn't even say "bad" or anything. So fuck off and listen to your money all day long, even though that's imo the worst song Floyd ever recorded... what do I care, at least I don't insult you and your taste because you like an album I don't...

who cares about Sweden. Yeah i bet you have the talent and skills do dismiss an entire nation. One of the best countries in thr world, but who cares about Swedish people. You are losing the argument because you know you are wrong, but don't have the dignity to admit it. To bad for you that you can't understand what i said.

C'mon... just listen to the damn name. "HammerFall" how can someone take that band seriously? fuckin' hell.

TheTrooper1138 wrote:
@ squigbobble: who cares what you guys in Sweden think, HammerFall are well established in the European metal scene. They've made some good albums and some really good songs, if you can't see that, well your loss.

@vess: oh yeah, you seem to know me pretty well, telling me I have no knowledge about music and all... and your sentence "Obviously the more musical a track/album can be the more it's bad, sad." doesn't even make sense... but then again, who am I to judge, I have no knowledge whatsoever... well, be happy with your musical stuff, I'd rather listen to non-music like metal and hard-rock... lol

Haha, love it when people are overly sensitive. Stop crying and be a fuckin' man @Thetrooper1138: obiously it's you who can't respect other opinons since you see it as objective facts that Pink Floyds other albums are better than Dark Side. In Sweden HammerFall are a laughing-stock by the way.

i do accept opinions but not from people who have no musical knowledge/experience and understanding. So talk all you want, just know you are talking stupid things. Obviously the more musical a track/album can be the more it's bad, sad. Witch confirms you listening to heavy metal+...I would add about the lovely shout you left me, mainstream back in the day wasn't like the present, you don't sell 'cause of ass or tits, make your conclusions. Btw would agree about few good Hammerfall riffs.
