Talking Hey Look At This!!

Hi guys! I was looking around the internet, and I came across this list. It is pretty good, has all the good bands...it is missing Joe Satriani and Robin Trowers though The order is a bit off in my opinion, but it's all there!
What do you guys think, certianly Dogs should have made the list, but oh well, you know it's mostly a popularity contest.

Thumbs down Re: Hey Look At This!!

2 Floyd songs in the top 20 and both are pop singles.

Rubbish.

Re: Hey Look At This!!

You think that Comfortably Numb is a pop single...well...okay...
You didn't expect them to put everything Pink in the top 20 did you?
YeS didn't come in until AFTER 20

Hehe, well, I suppose it's an aquired taste (YeS that is) not a lot of people can get past the "WHAT IS THIS DAMN NOISE?!" and really enjoy the music.

Re: Hey Look At This!!

How about SOYCD, or Echoes, or Time or....

Seriously, why do the top Floyd songs in these lists always end up being the "popular singles" that don't truly reflect the greatness of the band.

I played the albums Animals and WYWH for a friend who "hated" Floyd (all he had heard was the tracks off The Wall and DSoM they over play on rock radio before) and guess what? He's a Floyd fan now.

AHM, More, OBC, WYWH, Animals...why do we never see tracks from those albums in these "best of" lists?

Re: Hey Look At This!!

I suppose it has something to do with "Pop" culture?

I suppose so. Too bad most of what "pop culture" gives us is tripe, trash and shite.

At least there is enough like us Floyd fans around to make sure bands that make great music a have a chance.

Re: Hey Look At This!!

You know what man... I feel that all that "tripe, trash and shite" needs to be around so that the discening few may actually find out that some bands are actually better than the others.... and thus treasure their music more!
Imagine if all the bands in the world sounded like PF?!?! A sheer nightmare, I'd tell ya...
So believe you me, Pop is GOOD!

LOL! Oh, a glass half full man.

Okay, you have a point. You've convinced me that "popular music" has a place.

Re: Hey Look At This!!

pop music gives us an excuse to look down on others.. to make us feel superior because of our better taste.. it is necessary for our ego..
