Another overrated band. Oh, I know. The Dark Side of the Moon was such a "great" album. Not.
Pink Floyd was musicially bland. I don't get their appeal. Same is true for The (overrated) Doors.

I can understand the feeling of over-rated. Sometimes this world hypes stuff up beyond belief so it seems we are continually disappointed.
Pink Floyd's claim to fame was that Dark Side of the Moon was on the Billboard Top 100 for something like 25 years!
Oddly enough Bat Out Of Hell by Meatloaf had a very long run in the Billboard Top 100, like a decade I think.

They were (I say were because David Gilmour said they're done) a great band. Yeah, everybody always comes back with Dark Side, but there were many albums that were as good, if not better. That just happened to hit a major commercial chord. They put on a phenomenal live show and played note for note true to the recording. Most bands do a lot of improvising to try and compensate for not sounding so good live, but they didn't have to.
As for the Doors, they pulled off some nice studio work, but I never cared as much for their live stuff. I don't think they were so much over rated, but I would have had to kick Jim Morrison's *** many times over of killed him. Ray Manzarek was the true talent in the band, but Jim was the charisma that brought the fans.
If you ask me, Led Zeppelin is the WAY over rated band of all time! Jimmy Page....heavy distortion covers lots of crappy playing. Zeppelin sounded better as solo artists.

The Pink Floyd Band, is mainly how well the artist performes and his presentation style on the guitar.
The Ban as whole in their entirety shattered records and Pink Floyd keeps all his copy rights to his music because he wrote it.

They had original music.
Once they got in their "psyche", they sounded like nothing else.
They didn't talk about just drugs, sex, and money. Actually, very little of their music involves any of these.
They PLAYED THEIR OWN INSTRUMENTS, not just read a poem about drugs, sex, and money and sent it to someone else to play music for it, while getting all of the credit.
They had interesting techniques, such as using a slide guitar usually used in country western and turning it into a rock instrument.
They WEREN'T A RAP GROUP.
That's why.

If you don't see "Dark Side" as a great album, then you are tone deaf. It was on the Billboard top 100 charts for OVER 10 YEARS! You probably haven't even been listening to good music that long. Go back to Justin Timberlake, in the closet gay boy.

it type of feels to be that DSOTM is quite the main established album, particularly to the informal fan. The Folyd are my quite in all hazard my usual band, and that i own all their albums (the two on CD and vinyl) video clips and according to hazard approximately one hundred stay exhibits (from each and each and each and all of the countless eras) and that i might choose for to declare that their terrific album is Animals (aka: the 'forgotten' album). In a era the area Roger Waters grew to grow to be gradually taking up, this grew to grow to be recorded somewhat befre he particularly much thoroughly took over formerly the Wall. As i think of that Roger grew to grow to be the conceptual genious at the back of the Floyd whilst Gilly grew to grow to be the musical genious, i've got confidence that this recording grew to grow to be the apex of this progression, in the present day after to furnish owing to esentially a pair Waters solo albums, then the breakup. Roger's lyrics, i think of are 2d quite to the Wall, Gilly's guitar solos and words are in elementary terms proper, his TalkBox on Pigs(3 distinct Ones). The sound is spectacular. Waters' terrific signing for my area. His notes in Sheep seamlessly redecorate into Wright's synthesizer, the double-song vocals on the applicable 0.5 od dogs's. i'm getting goose bumps after the 1st Pigs on the Wing whilst that spectacular chord progression fades in or whilst Nick pops on the full of those measures and ultimately explodes formerly the achieved groove is on. ought to be the main excitng 2 minutes in Rock song for me.

Before I answer this let me ask what bands you think are great? then I can see whether you are being partial or making this judgement fairly.

You're just another brick in the wall. I see a red door and I want to paint it black.
