I have recently been called a poser when I told a "fan" that my favorite song was Sheep, by Pink Floyd.
Apparently all they wrote were Money and We Don't Need No Education.
For Christ's sake, people, the second one's not even a SONG! It's called Another Brick in the Wall (Part II), and is usually preceded by Happiest Days of our Lives. Pink Floyd was 4 guys (for a short while, 5), not one girl, and they didn't name themselves after a dog, or a bus, or a guy who liked pink. (If they named themselves after the latter, their name would be Arnold Layne, no?) They were named after Pink Anderson and Floyd Council. They have 17 albums, I believe, not 2 songs.
And I'm the poser.
Sorry, I just had to rant. What is with this "superiority" one automatically gets from being older? Just because I'm younger, that means that she's smarter? I think not.
What's behind this "they wrote 2 songs" thing? I hear Time and Learning to Fly on the radio a lot, along with Hey You and Comfortably Numb.

Apparently I'm not a fan, because I believe that there are better songs than Money and Another Brick 2. I'm just an emo/goth wannabe poser. I'm not even trying to be emo/goth, just express the band I love!

Oh yes. I did NOT just start listening to them. I have been listening to them since the moment I gained breath. You might say I "Breathed in the air". Yuk yuk yuk. I was confused several times when listening to "Brain Damage" during my early obsession stage, because I could swear that "And what you see is me" fit in there. I had never listened to Echoes before that. (If I had, I was too young to remember it.) Then, POOF! I dig out Meddle, go to the super-duper-extra-long track and THERE IT IS! Freaky, no?

I love Astronomy Domine off of Piper! I knew all the lyrics a few times after listening to it. (Same with The Walrus by The Beatles... I'm great at remembering nonsense ;D) The other stuff is too... well, too LSD.
Oh, and something I've always wondered... is it dom-in-AY or doh-MINE? I'm a Floydhead, sure enough, but I have always wondered about the first song off the first album.

I don't know dear- I think they should be made to memorize the Pink Floyd Wikipedia page, to prove they're not a poser.

The Wall, not "We don't need no education", Shine on you crazy diamond, Hey You; Dogs, Pigs, Sheep: off of Animals; Signs of Life, and Learning to Fly off of Momentary Lapse
That's just crazy, Pink Floyd only wrote 2 songs.
The name Pink Floyd came from 2 people: Pink Anderson and Floyd Anderson as stated by the question composer

Pink Floyd produced DOZENS of songs - not just one or three. "Dark Side of the Moon" was #1 on the ALBUM charts for 37 weeks, which was unheard of at the time. It is STILL on the top 100 album sales chart! Only one song? "Who's a poser?" is RIGHT... and it sure isn't you!!! LOL!!!

If you are at all a music lover, classic rock and roll, check out "Dark Side of the Moon". Got to be one of the greatest albums of all time as far as that type of "out there" goes.

You are correct -- there ARE better P/F songs than the ones you mention. How about 'Mother', or 'Us and Them'. And the ever popular 'Run Like Hell.'
Only two songs??? Who was that masked moron?
