Lol @ you guys arguing over what is all obviously good music for the sake of further pitting the size of your penises (peni?) against each other.

It's pretty bad but I think he's partly making fun of himself because he actually thinks it's a perfect album. Which I find hard to fault.

Also for some reason I feel like I've read worse things. Can't think of anything off the top of my head though.

wow i dont even know what to say to that heres a fact The Dark Side of the Moon was an immediate success, topping the Billboard 200 for one week. It subsequently remained in the charts for 741 weeks from 1973 to 1988, longer than any other album in history. With an estimated 45 million copies sold yes thats right 15 ******* years!!!!!!!! longer then radio Head have been a band Ok Computer (a great album) is what Pink Floyd would leave OFF their album.

Let's not go crazy. Pink Floyd is one of the great rock bands of all time. Radiohead is probably in the top 20 at this point, given their ability to both rock and innovate. They have gotten "too weird" too soon to ever be among the top greats in rock, but to compare them to something like Muse is overdoing it. They are probably the best band, given their entire catalog, of the last 15 years. Not my favorite, but probably objectively the best.

i didnt ,i said its like comparing muse to The beatles (muse is a great band by the way)..i actually like them better then RH,they just ******* rock out man and if you ever see their shows they are very Pink Floydesque,whereas Rh takes themselves wayyyy to seriously (even though i do like them) kinda like Chris Martin and company whom i absolutely loathe

Foo Fighters - maybe, but only their first two albums were really great. The others delved into pop too much.

Chili Peppers - Their best came before 1995, and I think we can all agree on that.

White Stripes - maybe, but not as much good stuff put out as Radiohead overall. Great band though.

Nirvana - lol dude. Pre-1995.

Well you can understand my surprise when you mentioned a band whose lead singer had been dead for the entire period in question.
