I don’t get them.
I have bought and sold DSOTM about 5 times over the years and it is always dull.
Life is too short.
I’m so bored I might as well be listening to Pink Floyd
I'm glad I saw them at Live 8 though...

Anyway…carry on!
My father and my uncle essentially played every record at me as a child and so I had all the original vinyl at my disposal, which is how I learnt to play the guitar really. I just sat there and worked it out by ear, by moving the stylus on my record player back and slowing down by resting my finger on the platter etc
They were great when Sid was in charge, as in they were a bit different at the time and his quirky songs were of the era.
I used to adore Meddle when I was a child and also Ummagumma, I always found DSOTM a bit samey, was never my favourite and found WYWH was more enjoyable, Animals was a bit hit and miss for me.
But in the '70s it just all went 'middle-class' wank in hindsight, the '80s stuff post-split is just fucking awful and tedious at best, Delicate Sound of Bollocks etc
I can still listen to them, but I find a lot of it 'really dull' now I'm 48 and it isn't as 'deep' as many make out. When I was 12 it was meaningful, but nowadays I find it all a bit whiny and meh.

Am I cool enough now?
Because, that was all lies. I love Pink Floyd, The Smiths and Radiohead. I think David Gilmour is a fine guitarist with his own voice - even though he plays too slowly to get into an amateur thrash metal band (or would he?). There are plenty of things I don't love, but I just accept it and move on.
Dear OP, if you don't like Pink Floyd, that's fine. Move on to the stuff you do like. I don't like Little Mix, myself. We're all different and we all like different things for personal, subjective reasons. Any analysis to try and find objectivity and worthiness in something is meaningless.
Of course she didn't stick to that and was quite capable of being vile about people behind their backs. So, in memory of my mother, I'll say that Pink Floyd are a horrible Andrew Lloyd Webberism of pretentious public school boy wank.
Love you ma.
I like the fact Gilmour gives big donations to charity.
