It’s music for two people primarily. Drug types and musicians. Musically and from the standpoint of a sound designer type, it’s awesome. Unique and complex sounds and interaction between sounds. Art basically. The thing is, some like Piccaso and some like the guy at the street fair. Both are valid.

But Floyd never really made pop/Rock music to enjoy in the way we enjoy Merle Haggard, Led Zepplin or other radio tunes. they made sounds and added words to them. Some like it, some dont. Different strokes. But I get why people don’t.

The only thing of their's I really liked was the opening bars of "Money". The song goes on to do little for me but the opening with the cash register, bass line etc. was sweet.

BTW, my Beatles #1+ Cd with two Blu Rays of videos showed up today. Now THAT'S a fairly good band! :)

Fairly accurate characterization for early PF. However that changed after Dark Side of the Moon and especially after the Wall when PF became mainstream and gained mass appeal. Perhaps not mass appeal in the way of huge pop acts but after the Wall their support moved way past musicians and druggies.

They were the first major band to feature quad sound in concerts starting in the 1960s.
