I'd stab Pink just to see Pink Floyd live again...
An if I lived in the 60's and 70's I wouldn't have Aphex, or
I'd be over 40 and I don't like eithor idea very much...

I'd rather have been a 19 year old in 1942 so I could die in
France with a Kraut bullet in my head, then buried in one of
their huge cemetaries, one anonymous white cross amongst
thousands of fallen comrades.

Just worked out I was concieved in May 68 (I should say we
cause I'm a twin...)...

weird I'd never thought of that before now, as May 68 is one
of my fave bits of modern history (all the riots in Paris,
the rise of the Situationists etc....)....

One of 10cc's biggest hits was 'Dreadlock Holiday'...U

Orchestra)biggest LP was 'Out of the Blue'which sold
millions in '77.Just a useless piece of info.4 ya! };>

i dont care at all for any of those bands first listed
except for pink floyd and hendrix. beatles do nothing for
me and I dont like the who or zeppelin at all really. floyd
and hendrix were the only experimental ones of those times.
the rest was just verse, chorus, verse etc.

''you saying the beatles werent experimental? i urge you to

Exactly. Pink Floyd didn't do shit compared to what Lennon
and the boys did. Pink Floyd started out SOUNDING like a
pseudo Beatles, then moved on to even MORE ''normal''
sounding music. Piper at the Gates of Dawn was made in the
Beatles' stupio, and that's one fucking WEIRD album... makes
their later stuff sound clinical and dry. (but still
awesome, I love the Floyd, second favorite band ever... just
ain't no Beatles).

Of course I love them all, but the Beatles were just ahead
of everybody else. Verse/chorus/verse my pale white ass.
Show me a Pink Floyd song with the simultaneous pop/demented
appeal of I am the Walrus, Strawberry Fields Forever and A
Day in the Life... they don't exist.

Of The Moon...Long after the beatles were dead...

They sounded like pseudo-beatles to begin with?. DID THEY
FUCK...

they started out as an experimental freeform improv band,
with some jazz influences (see how Syd Barrett got that
nickname) .. their early recordings are, from eyewitness
testimony, nothing like their original sound... in fact,
they were considered so experimental and far out, that they
could hardly play outside of London from fear of getting
assaulted onstage

" realy dont understand how people can even

this is probably the stupidest comment i have ever heard.
you do realize the beatles were banned from 'christian'
radio stations across america during the 60s??? esp. in the
south.
churches organized mass burning's of their records.

in addition to that the sounds of the beatles are heavily
influenced by Indian/Krishna culture and religion.

see for example the George Harrison track 'My Sweet Lord'
which was originally a beatles track but never released
until Harrison's solo album 'All things must pass'.

I think we should probably mention 'The Velvet Underground'
as one of the best bands of the 60s. defin. on of my faves.
also love the early bowie (or should i say David Jones ;) )
folk stuff from that era as well.

Yes, their detractors write them off a pop for "trendy"
people of the time, but I think they're a great group. Some
of the best popular music of the late 60s IMO.
