Floyd are OK. The Wall is good as is Dark Side' and a few other bits but they are not a band I want to listen to all the time. It's all rather depressing a little dull. Iv'e never seen them live. Never wanted to. The musicianship is above average but they are like watching paint dry.

i'm not a high art person but DSOM is akin to van gogh's starry night or something like it - it's a perfect piece of art, instantly recognized as such and the more you study it, the more perfect it gets.

Certainly true, for some. its very hard to take bands like the Sham 69 seriously as Punk along with bands like the Stranglers, Jam and Clash as well (who I quite adore) - who all seemed to kind of get thrown into that melting pot (and some may have more cynically thrown their lot in with some Punk stereotypes to shift some s**t records - Toyah Willcox etc). I quite like the DIY philosophy of Punk, and the way that seeing the Pistols, resulted people forming much better bands. Much as I like them, the Pistols were s**t, and the best thing they ever did was steal Sid from Souxie and the Banshees. But a result of the great 'Rock and Roll Swindle' that is the Pistols are bands like the Banshees', Buzzcocks the Damned, The Cure, Joy Division etc.

I have moved onto Tubular Bells. People must have been smoking s*** loads of Moroccan sticky in the '70s to make this s*** sound good.

The Banshees, Pistols and the like wore the Punk fashion but often were streets apart musically.

If you are judging PF's success by chart singles you've completely missed the point; it's the 250m albums, and still selling at a million a year, that counts. Not judging them on single sales Bex, just the accessibility of the tunes. I was lucky enough to see Floyd live at several locations, and even went to Berlin for the "The Wall by Roger Waters & assorted Friends (misfits)" debacle. But buying albums as a lad wasn't as easy as buying singles when the paper round only paid 58p per week. Tips extra if you were lucky. I grew up listening to Floyd albums at my uncles house. I could afford to only buy singles. Ergo, I like both.

Started as a prog rock band, and hitched a ride on the new sound bandwagon. A few songs on their first album (and a few that made it over to the second) had a resemblance to the new scene. But you only need to listen to their *anthem* song, "In The Sewer" to see that. And that was on the first one!!! I like the Stranglers though, and especially "In The Sewer". I'm just stating....

How did Viv get involved in this abomination?

The Stranglers and Elvis Costello songs are still playable whereas lets say... Xray Spex was never really music and sounds pathetic if you play it now. This is my favourite punk song.... The Members - Sound of the Suburbs I love the driving bass and rhythmic melody.

Their record company did.
