Post a controversial music opinion

... bluesy, that is. I hate it when Floyd play the blues.

"Money" is the best song on the album

^^^ My actual apparently controversial opinion.

Lyrical contributions by Bernard Sumner would not have improved it.

^^^ another bold stance on this iconoclastic evening

how dare you sir how dare you

I'm gonna throw in this possibly controversial opinion:

The Dark Side of the Moon is not one of the top 5 Pink Floyd albums

The Division Bell is way better than I remembered, that’s for sure

The Division Bell is also not one of the top 5 Pink Floyd albums

I'll bite - what are the top five?????

Money is awesome wtf

The Division Bell is also not one of the top 5 Pink Floyd albums

This is a quality control. Also wrong.

Pink Floyd should have been eaten by wolves

yeah, so many blues in 7/8

Oh stfu you boring cunt.

Never forget this classic thread:

TS: Prince or Bowie?

Ok, just stumbled across this shit-encrusted gem and like wow. Excepting the period from about April to December 2016, any comparison between these two artists is just asinine. But if you must compare it's like this: Anyone who favors Bowie is worse than Donald Trump as a human being and ought to have their ears sliced off because they obviously aren't fucking working

^Intentional exaggeration btw. I like Bowie but give me a fucking break. If we can't convince twentysomethings and younger of Prince's greatness we will have failed as a species

Thread turned nasty.

PINK FLOYD RULES

Good: Prince, Bowie
Bad: Being angry with people for having different taste in music to you
Worst: Reading about slicing off people's ears first thing on a Monday

If we can't convince twentysomethings and younger of Prince's greatness we will have failed as a species

First step: stop harming your own case by pretending he had more than a half dozen songs worth a shit after 1989.

controp not all songs in 7/8 time are good

How many great albums has Prince put out since the twentysomethings and younger were born

really glad we don't do T/S thread anymore they were pretty pointless

C or D: T/S threads

Prince and Bowie are both the kind of artists for whom Greatest Hits comps make a whole lot of sense.

his albums from that era are inconsistent but Anthology: 1995-2010 is pretty damn good front to back

this is right on the edge but the truth, the bonus album he tacked onto crystal ball, is at the very least close to great

after that pretty much nothing though 3121 has a lot going for it

gold experience and the love symbol album are two of his absolute greatest but '95 and '92 both feel too old for the question you're asking

Most of Prince's songs are not very good

that's only because he put out so many post 1989

was merely pointing out that a song in 7 would seem by its very nature to disqualify it from accusations of being "bluesy garbage," which in this context I take to mean stock, trite, and predictable, but it's OK, I realize not everybody knows what they're talking about

it has a blues feel and there are tons of blues songs with dropped beats

I GOTTA LITTLE TRUTH BOMB ABOUT MUSIC FOR YOU PLEBES LISTEN UP, MOST OF IT....

...is really fun to listen to :)

Going back in time now to convince John Rotten to write this instead of "I hate" on his Pink F t-shirt.

As you prove every time you post.

I can't think of many blues tunes that keep a regular 7 feel tbf; also the obvious use of loops of 'found' samples is pretty distinct for the time. It's a long way from generic blues-rock.xp

A fair point if anyone had said it was either a blues song or generic blues rock.

pink floyd are worthless crap pretty much down the line. maaaaaybe some of the syd era stuff is a bit less shit. though i still call that album "shiter at the gates of yawn"

that's only because he put out so many post 1989

I will double down on the controversial opinion and say post 1985

yeah I don't agree w that at all

I like every pink floyd album except dark side of the moon

pink floyd rules

Yeah if I had to choose between 'falsely proclaiming Pink Floyd to be my favourite band' or 'having them be pulled apart by wolves' then I'd stan for them and feed the wolves another more deserving band

Dark Side rules

I like every pink floyd album except dark side of the moon

I'm not a big fan by any stretch but I don't really hear Dark Side as that different from their other albums of that time.

Wish You Were Here > Meddle > Animals > Dark Side of the Moon > the live half of Ummagumma > The Wall > a bunch of shit I never need to hear again as long as I live > the even worse shit they did before they wised up and punted Syd Barrett
