Predictable? Moi?

Its not that predictable as I'm one of the few neh sayers on this induction thread, and its certainly the first time anyone became shocked. If you are correct Boo Boo about this being a forum thing, you'd expect a load of members to come to my support, but I dont think that is the case at all.

Waters was very much a part of the "Syd Era" as was Richard Wright, who I think blossomed in the late sixties/early seventies, particulary during the Barrett/Gilmore transition. And my view isnt taking a swipe at Gilmore either, who lets be honest was very instrumental in Barrett getting some solo work out there and who has written some masterpieces in his time.

My personal view, which is not influenced by my 4 month membership on here, is that Floyd at some point (probably dare I say it, around Dark Side of The Moon) went from being a rather exciting band towards, music wise anyway, a rather bloated and self indulgent act, which certainly does cloud my view of this band, as this period is really what Floyd are famed for.

Sorry if thats hard to bare for some, but it would be a boring place if we all agreed on music, and in particular, the more esteemed acts. Surely they're big and good enough to take a dash of negativity from me, lets hope so.

What I'm saying is, you're in the majority on this forum.

I'm just one of the few here that thinks otherwise.

I love Barrett era Floyd, but as a songwriter, he's seriously overrated on this forum, I have Madcap Laughs and it's good. But I don't think Barrett comes close to being the songwriting genius a lot of people here make him out to be. I certainly consider Waters and Gilmour better songwriters.

IMO 1971-79 is the their highpoint. I know it's also the height of their commercial sucess, but that's not what I mean, DSOTM is still my favorite album of theirs, followed by WYWH and Meddle, and the very underrated Obscured by Clouds.

Can someone explain the rationale behind casting a vote against music you've never heard? I don't get it. If you haven't heard it just abstain.

I didn't realise there was an abstain option until just now. I will edit my post.

Your right , there's nobody here into prog and nobody rates stuff like Meddle or Animals or Wish You Were Here on this forum whatsoever.
