I gave them a chance, the only album I like is Dark side of the Moon.
It's pretty good and surprisingly well produced given that it's 50 years old.

The answer is that music production and reproduction audio quality as a whole has generally regressed, not improved, since the early 70s. That time period unironically bore some of the best sounding albums ever. It's a fucking embarrassment yet here we are.

I like Pink Floyd but have grown a bit tired of the 70s shit. Roger Waters had some decent ideas but my God is he one of the most insufferable dipshits in the music industry, and his contributions to any Pink Floyd music tend to overstay their welcome and become gay.

If any of you niggas have the chance to go see Nick Mason's tribute band Saucerful of Secrets I can recommend it, they play the goood shit from the 60s, even some stuff from that time that was never finished/released, and they do it pretty well.

Most of the time they do, because claypool is an egomaniac who wants to be the only thing anyone can hear, like 90% of every song is “ok now I’m going to spazz out on bass” and the songs they write themselves are nonsensical weirdness.

But they did that cover well

Yeah sometimes the spazzing out on bass style is kinda cool for certain songs. I still love jerry was a racecar driver (played a lot of tony hawk pro skater as a kid). Lee van clef is pretty cool too. Although I will admit he makes alot of weird decisions when making the music.

I'm not sure if this is true but I've heard the older PF records sounded better because they used the original master tapes instead of using digital files like the new ones apparently use. The only discernible difference I can see from my older meddle record from 1971 and my newer represses is that the represses are heaver. I feel like the whole "they sound better" is probably bullshit made up by sellers so they can sell their records at a higher price.

I was actually watching a video on this originally where they said that digital was even being used back in those times (at least the machines they were using were digital) and therefore it didn’t matter. Idk how true that is because the machines still used magnetic tape I believe. I’d imagine tape probably has a different sound recording directly onto a vinyl master.

Not my favorite progressive rock band but they are pretty great. Bonus of giving my dad and I something to talk about outside of the usual autistic ass shit I listen to. My favorite album is probably either Animals or Meddle. I liked The Wall at first but the story is so self-indulgent that it just pisses me off these days. "Wahhh being a rockstar sucks I hate my mom!!" Cry me a river nigger. I would probably be less annoyed if it was a separate character not literally based on Roger Waters.

I feel like they were most definitely still using magnetic tape to press the records. I don't see how they could of been using digital audio back in the 70s to put music onto a record.

Wasn't The Wall the second concept album Roger Waters made about his dad dying in WWII (or some shit like that)? If I remember correctly there was one before it.

It's like the English version of a Cheech & Chong film, just a bit deeper. Although Saint Bob Geldof did a good job with Pink, the role catapulted him to fame well-beyond his shitty Boomtown Rats band.

By this time, Bob was so confident in his latent sainthood, he delivered Live Aid and the Christmas single just a few years later and I've never forgiven his pioneering wokeness.

To add balance, he's always looked after Tiger Lily so that's a good thing. But he's still a cunt.

I like some of their stuff and will listen to it occasionally but they're pretty cringe on the whole. I was introduced to them by a fucked up bipolar girl in my middle school days who was already the town bike by the age of 12 decades ago and that's about the maturity level I'd expect from an average Pink Floyd superfan regardless of how old they actually are.

I mean I just liked watching his slow descent into madness trying to cope with life as a drug fueled rockstar while everything in his life turned to shambles around him.

When I was young, somewhere in the 5-10 range, I visited my fraternal grandfather's house where my dad and his siblings had grown up in the 60's-70s. In the bathroom, pasted on the wall for several decades was a sticker of Pink Floyd's The Wall. Being a child I didn't know this was a band, so my understanding was that the wall the sticker was on was named Pink Floyd despite not being pink at all. That said...

Yeah, I like Pink Floyd just fine. It was a good wall that lasted for the better part of a century, it seemed very sturdy and allowed privacy in that bathroom. The downside is that wall was a Californian, but I never inquire whether that was by choice or circumstance so I can't hold it too much against it. It's not in my top 10 walls or anything, but Pink Floyd probably sits in the top 100 on the scale of walls.

You summed the film up succinctly enough. But Sir Bob is still a cunt.
