Pink Floyd - The Best of the Worst

Big fan of Mudmen, all the tracks on Saucerful of Secrets except Corporal Clegg.  Prefer the Mason and Wright's contributions to Ummagumma over Waters and Gilmour's.  Never understood the beef with Dogs of War.  Named my dog Seamus so I like that track.  I guess if you have to make a list some of those others like Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast would be on it and a couple of others but for a worst of list should have started with many songs on More.

Hi,

Nahhhhh ... I would have fired the writer on the spot for writing one of the worst pieces of anything!

This way, the writer might learn how to do something with a much better direction than being stupid!

No one noticed the terrible mistake in the introduction?

Roger Waters replaced Syd Barrett? Really? It predicts the quality of the list. 

Well I certainly didn't want to wind anyone up too much with this post...(or did I ) but I do agree with a lot of the responses. It always makes me laugh a little when I see these types of lists, and often you can tell how well, or un-well the author is versed on the music/band. Like the Syd Barrett/Roger Waters comment. In the first paragraph I'm already shaking my head with a Waaaa?????

But since 'prog music' articles come up very rarely, I just though I'd share.

Hi,

Sadly, this is the synthetic age, and these folks don't know the difference whatsoever, and it is very well visible in this board, btw. 

However, I DO NOT want folks simply doing this stuff for the sake of doing it, and just get folks vaping and doing cheapashcrap dope and thinking they are stoned ... they are merely dazed by bad chemicals, and have no idea what the real thing is like, and will never try it, anyway!

One would hope that they could even read a little Huxley, but asking someone to read something, specially here, is like asking them to jump off the pier into the ocean ... "it's too cold", and they haven't jumped in yet!

The music, is not any more about dope than it was about anything else ... when Syd sings about the plane landing upside down, we think he is stoned, but he could just as easily been giving you the daily news in a flash, and we decided that it was stoney stuff instead. Story suggested otherwise, but in reality, not a lot of the lyrics by Syd were so stoned as to right out in the middle of nowhere, and I think that the members of the band ensured that the stuff stayed well focused, instead of it just being an Alice in Wonderland, which it wasn't by very far! It wasn't a child's story, for example.

There is a lot of great music with dope, and a lot more cheapashcrap music without dope that is being flouted as a hit or some meaningful this or that, which will change you life!

I just wish that more of us would be more "real" about things, and not so stuck on silly notions and favoritism, which is that article seems to show ... that any music that doesn't "fit" its list is crap! 

We should all gather up some coins and send the magazine and the writer a very large mirror for them to look at since all they are showing is their Dorian Grey side! And we give them the attention they deserve, instead of us giving the article more "fame" and "hits", because these days in the Internet it is all about the hits, and we just gave them a shish load of them which will gladly help them go to the bank and show that advertiser that they get the hits!

We still don't get it! Same thing some 50 years plus ago when folks were telling some church idiots to shut up ... and instead they made the thing famous, and ushered in the new beta and then video market full force with a million seller and then some! You still don't get it?

Love Mudmen, my fav from OBC, everything is very good on SoS except Corporal Clegg.  Julia Dream,  Narrow Way and Grandchester Meadows are fine.  Several Species is in the running though.  More isn't terrible by any stretch but for me I would have to start there to find a worst of list.  PF is my top band so finding songs to consider the worst is tough.  

That ain't drugs, that's full-blown dementia. 

...and let's just say that the list is rubbish. The only song listed there that O'm used to skip is Alan's, but it has its reasons as it was part of an aborted idea.
