Personnaly, I don't like people who submit reviews or posts and that they think that thier opinion is the real one. Just take a look a Floyd's career: The piper at the gates of dawn was a real innovative album, I'd compare it to the court of the Crimson King... Way later, Meddle, DSOTM, WYWH and Animals were albums of pure good music! I think that Floyd are as good as Gentle Giant, Yes and King Crimson... They are less technical, but the life that the put in their music is wonderful.

Intruder, I think I need to tell you something, something very
horrible. About 5-10 years ago, a dangerous thing happened on this
earth. Every streat corner you went down, you heard echoes of the most
dreadful sound you can imagine. It was there, everywhere. The mall, the
shoe store, even on the radio in your own home. It even played in your
mind as you fell asleep at night it so persuasive on everyday life. It
was the song that went like "Quit playin' games with my Heart..."
With that statement, I can tell you found somewhere good to hide. Coz you never heard of the Backstreet Boys.

Pink Floyd are a great band, used to be one of my favorites but I still love them.
Are they overrated?
In the Prog world (which is way too small), no. They get the
attention the deserve but most proggers are enlightened to the better
bands out there, such as King Crimson, Van der Graaf Generator, Gentle
Giant, and Anglagard.
In the rest of the world? Heck yeah. They are still
lightyears away from being overrated like Green Day or Gwen Stefani and
that crap, because PF is actually good. But I always see all
these "hardcore" PF fans who wear DSotM shirts in my school, yet they
know close to nothing about the band! And there are plenty of
prog bands out there who should be just as popular as them.

PF shouldn't be compared to Yes in any way, they're completely different. Pink are a mood band, a minimalistic band. Wish You Were Here is a definite "groove" album--the riff in the title track is probably repeated 60 times, but in remains great and moody. Yes, on the other hand, kick it into overdrive, ALL THE TIME!!!
Which is why nobody will ever call a Yes album easy listening, unlike the Floyd.

Obviosly. It takes quite some time to get into PF. Who knows, maybe in a couple years they'll be his fave band
There was once a time when i hated opeth just because i could not understand their music. I love them now

I disagree over that. Perhaps it is not easy to get into some of their albums, but in generally speaking they are easy to get into.
Perhaps the Floyd sound isn't to his liking, that does not mean he doesn't like them because he doesn't realize what they do.
Now, to the topic - I agree. Had you asked me this about a year ago, I probably would have denied it. As of nowadays, I totally agree. Floyd are good, but their music is overly overrated...

That's a pretty narrow attitude to take,surely composition and musicality are important too!
