My friends don't understand me

Its more fantastic for us, cause most people at this age doesnt love any bands, love any type of music. They just think its nice to listen to. I for eksample LOVE my floyd. I get that feeling you cant discribe. You just end up saying oh f*** thats SOOOOOO NICE! moving my head and just going in to this wild =¤O#"?%#
Heh

I defintely agree.

As long as there are younger kids who still dig Classic Rock, there is hope for the future.

I get your meaning, pinkian, but Duran Duran are today making fairly respectable music...still.

Thank you everyone for your answers, I'm glad that there are people who feel how I do. And damn sure I don't listen to what my friends say, otherwise I wouldn't like floyd anymore. But you know, once you hear those things too much, it gets on you.

Lol, I listened to Duran Duran in my teen years. (I'm 20)
But I dig your point, anyway.

There are actually quite a few people I know at my school that like Pink Floyd, and it seems like im seeing more and more pink floyd shirts around. (although im sure some of them are just posers) When I have to do something with music or with lyrics and stuff like that for projects i always try to use floyd or other good bands to expose everyone to it.

I also used a clip of the movie the wall for an english project to show "contemporary use of unnatural occurences". I showed empty spaces/what shall we do now. everyone enjoyed the flowers lol. I could have just showed the whole movie, seeing as how its one big unnatural occurence.

I, for one, feel a mite bit guilty when I listen to too much classic rock. I feel like I'm missing out on things that might be happening currently. As a concequence, I've been trying to find good current bands, and while I've found a lot (White Stripes, Radiohead, Avril Lavigne, Mates of State, System of a Down, etc.), I must say that the state of music isn't nearly as close-knit or influential as it was in the late '60s/early '70s.

Just trying to keep my head in the meantime, you know?

yea i've been trying to find new bands too since i want concerts to go to. I just discovered Porcupine Tree like a month ago and I LOVE them now.

Personally, I consider the period of the 60's and 70s to be a second huge creative surge of two in history, the other being pretty much anything before the 1850s, maybe. The Baroque period, the Classical, and the Romance period basically. I think that Pink Floyd will be one of many artists from it's era to be categorized under "classical music" in 200 years.

While there are some good bands nowadays fighting to keep their head above the water, I think we're in pretty much a musical "recession". What I've been doing is converting my friends over to the good stuff. And some of the recent avant-garde experimental stuff now is pretty fun to listen to.

I actually think differently. Pop music is better now than it has been in a long time.

Listen to whatever you like...you might even find some new friends who like the same type of music you do. I personally like lots of different bands...some new and some old. There were great bands in every decade. With radio today, you really have to filter through all the garbage to find the good stuff because there is alot of garbage out there. I would say my favorite groups from different decades would be:

60's - Beatles, Doors
70's - Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Who, Queen
80's - The Police, The Cult, Peter Gabriel
90's - Black Crowes, Alice in Chains, Dave Matthews, Radiohead
Newer Stuff: Audioslave, Supergrass, Sigur Ros

Note: I know alot of the bands I listed played music in more then just one particular decade so I just picked a decade. I'm sure someone will still post something like "but Floyd started in the 60's and played till the 90's!"

I also try to keep up with current music and bands, but to tell you the truth, i just can't find anything that really gets my attention, either my country's music or english speaking bands... i'm really fond of English music though, like Oasis, Blur, Queen, Floyd of course, Chemical Brothers...
But Floyd is the best thing i've ever heard...

Sorry Bride, I didn't know it: I had been still at "Hungry like the wolf" and "Wild Boys" (in that period every Italian girl from 11 to 16 loved them ).
Anyway, you got my meaning.

No worries.
