Re: you probably meant everyone who listens to punk or grunge is a loser, but apart from that...

... you are pretty much all wrong anyway.

Im listening.

"To start with, when Floyd were young they used to encore with Chuck Berry songs. Secondly, art is not about what I suspect you think it is about... a technical superiority."

Fine, if power chords and yelling is art to you...well, no need to continue. TO ME, it isnt, understand?

"If you think there was no quality songwriting in punk, clearly you never heard much of it... The Sex Pistols had some sensational songs just for one. "

I tried to give the pretext that its the MUSIC that turns me off first about punk....but you are right I havent heard a lot of it. I wonder if this YECH moron has heard all the Floyd stuff though? Or Roger's solo albums?

"Whining was a quality inherent to the arty singer songwriters of the early 70s. Floyd's songs are not exactly optimistic especially at the time they were obsessed with "whining" about Syd..."

Yes I know...please realize I was rejecting YECH's notion that all stuff other than prog is optimistic, success-breeding music. I didnt mean substance as much as the punk-voice...this kind of singing that actually SOUNDS like whining...its disgusting.

"It would seem you are obsessed with a kind of classical conservatism which is a dead end as illustrated by the increasingly small circles that prog moved itself into within a very short timespan in those dearly beloved early 70s."

Ah, I dont get into this. I like what I like, and Im just not going to let someone defecate on it. Its simple.


"Curiously of course, in Britain, Pink Floyd were directly responsible for much of the flowering of punk through their continues payments to their first manager Pete Jenner who moved on into responsibility for a lot of what you are dismissing.
Now that is poetic... "

Whatever. The garbage flooding the music industry is your problem as much as mine.
