I also don't have anything by them and have wondered the same. Some of their stuff is nice sounding but I'd only like it if I was in a certain mood...otherwise it would be somewhat boring. I definitely don't understand why so many fans of metal are obsessed with them but I do recognize their talent.Originally posted by Lee_B
I don't have anything by them at all. I just don't see what all the fuss is about to be honest. It must be a stoner thing?
The most obvious reason for the "boring" thing is that some of their most popular stuff ("Dark Side etc", "Wish You etc" and everything after "The Wall") IS incredibly boring and what's more important, turns many people away from the band. Their real stuff is very different. Try out "Ummagumma" or any of their pre-"Meddle" albums and see for yourself.Originally posted by Useful Idiot
