They get airplay because they make good ****ing music and people like it.

That's somewhat understandable. The problem with the radio is that they play the same 5 songs over and over. But Floyd has so much more than those and the masses probably don't even realize how complex and deep that band is.

Exactly the reason I can't remember the last time I listened to commercial radio by choice.

LOL! No bands get me to change stations faster than Rush or PF. Can't stand the voice of the lead singer of Rush, thing is worse than nails on a chalk board. Then there is Floyd which just makes me want to curl up and take a nap.

I'm pretty neutral on Queensryche, used to think they were okay, but just never a big fan.

I don't like hearing Floyd songs out of the context of their album, especially stuff from The Wall. It just sounds weird.

Pink Floyd, the other two are awesome, but Pink Floyd is a cut above.

Very true about songs from The Wall.

[Lzen]

And for anyone that only knows Queensryche from Silent Lucidity on the radio, try these to get a different perspective.

It's really bad when they come up on the iPod on random, especially songs like "One Of My Turns" because they cut off at weird times. I've thought about using Audacity or something to combine the MP3s into 4 tracks that coincide with the four record sides.

You're speaking my language here man. La Sagrada Familia is so awesome I can't even explain it. People need to listen to that. I almost posted it early in the thread. The whole "Guadi" album is spectacular imo.

Here are a couple more from Gaudi that I love.
