Oh I don't know but they've broken into the top 50 more than several times. Stop trying to dodge the subject, respond to my post.

Okay then, explain how Pink Floyd is hard rock and proto-heavy metal. I'm interested to hear and don't turn around and reply "vh1 said so" please explain with your own words for once.

And this is why I think punk music as a social movement is dead - because the understanding of why punk music began has been lost. As much as I like 80's American Hardcore, many have developed the wrong belief that punk equates to 'HARD' rather than 'CORE'. Or, that the true flame bearers of punk is nu-metal, thrash, or death metal rather than in my view - indie rock (at least in the 90's).

The argument that is totally lost on oomph, is that Led Zeppelin & The Who represented corporate rock in the 1970's. They made massive amounts of money, they developed a pompous view that their music was 'art', their fan base was homogeneous, they lived excessive self-centered lifestyles, they catered to their corporate father's every whim, and most importantly they developed the concept that only musical virtuoso's have the ability to be in rock bands. That is what punk rebelled against, not necessarily pop though certainly most pop artists were placed in punk's cross hairs as well. But it was never about turning the volume up to 11, but about destroying music & starting over.

By the way I do like led zep & the who, but those bands I would have to admit became tired & sounded over-rehearsed by the mid & late 70's.

Oomph! really doesn't know much about music in the 60s/70s as he's already displayed. He can go on about how he does but he called Pink Floyd hard-rock and proto-heavy metal. His knowledge on the subject is completely laughable.
