Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler What are your top ten acts of all time?

And Jay is caught up with my posts again. Grrr.

You're still on the top 5 list, for the moment.

See, what you need to do is both pass JohnK, then you can both be on the list.

Good point. I hope that doesn't upset his Slavic soul.

Just to deflate that a little, I doubt that all of the artists from the '60s and '70s only listened to their peers. I think it's always been a point of credibility to like older stuff. Also, I thought people who care about music listened to vinyl, not to iPods. Ha ha.

Then he'll need a soothing salve for his Slavic soul.

Witty wordplay - well written!

I'm not saying that it does not exist, its just not financed by the majors (and so pushed off to the side). Do you think that the big lables would pay for something like Saucer Full of Secrets of Atom Heart Mothers these days. Not likely.

I consider myself a pretty big Pink Floyd fan, but I'm not a real fan of A Saucerful of Secrets (other than Set the Controls . . . .). I haven't listened to it in a while, though. Maybe I'll take another listen, since you seem to be referencing it as a worthwhile album.

I do love Animals and the Final Cut. Haven't listened to them in a while either. I may end up on a Pink Floyd role as a result of this thread.

Actually, thats the point. A lot of the early Floyd stuff was very difficult to listen to: experimental. In today's environment they would never have lasted long enough to be a commercial success.

The record companies these days are lazy, to me anyway, they seem quite content to keep churning out Beyonces, Rhianons, Agillaras, Fergies....basically the same thing.

Will we EVER see another Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, SRV, Queen......?
