I think A Saucerful of Secrets is better than about half of the albums I listed. For the record, Syd Barrett is awesome, and has the best non-Floyd material besides Gilmour.

Sorry Pink Floyd got big. I like still them.

This is true though. I personally do not care what people think, but liking Pink Floyd is like liking Nirvana. You're not going to get any coolness points for doing it - because almost everyone does.

Listen, I don't hate The Wall, I own it, and I listen to some of the songs on it every now and again. I'm not making a point, I just genuinely don't see how the fuck you can look at the Wall next to ESPECIALLY the four albums that came before it and say it's even at a similar level of quality. And Roger Waters DID become a giant fuckwad, and I would NOT want to go see him masturbate his ego for two hours when it was Gilmour who made me love Floyd in the first place.

I'm cool with all of this - especially the last sentence. My thoughts exactly.

Cause, y'know, I don't.

No. You're being honest. Either you misinterpreted something I said, or I mis-stated it.

Don't know the Saucerful album very well, but I generally only marginally like the Syd Barrett stuff. I don't disagree with the Nirvana comment, I guess. I can't see the photo you posted at work, but I'm guessing my response would be either or , so I'm gonna go with this:
