New Queen(+) tracks VS new Pink Floyd single...Opinions?

Is this a Queen forum? You have got to wonder. I like a couple of Pink Floyd songs, but compared to Queen they are very boring. I get so ****** tired of their depressive songs with loooooong synth chords. I bought that best of album called "Echoes" many years ago. What a mistake that was. I expected them to have made more catchy songs during their carrer

Queen is on a different level in my ears. Thats why I am a Queen fan.

Another Roger (re) : Thanks and my faith has been restored in someone who has got some common sense on here.
Real Queen fans would not dare to compare another group to our beloved Queen, how dare they.

'Dolt' is an English word, Gerry. I am sorry about my English though, it's not as perfect as I would like :P I am not a native speaker so you have all the right to correct me when I'm wrong, but Brenski clearly said "dolt" not "doit", so I'm pretty sure you're wrong this time not me.

Really? So if you're a fan of a band - no other band compares, like automatically?

I was in the same boat as you. I never really listen to PF when I was younger but bought Echoes to find out what the fuss was about and was disappointed by it/them. However, I gave them a second chance, buying Wish You Were Here and Dark Side of the Moon, both of which are excellent. I would go as far to say as WYWH is one of the best albums in my collection and the song itself a personal favourite. They are basically, an album band and any greatest hits package of them is never going to do them justice.

Even when Queen where on xfactor it told how many sales Queen had
and it was like i said 300 million.[/QUOTE]
so now you're pitching the XFactor as a musical gospel, honestly Gezza - if you weren't such an imbecile you'd be a comedian.

[QUOTE] [b]gerry wrote:[/b]And by the way Brenski, calling me a doit is laughable.[/QUOTE]
ONE LAST TIME Gezza it's D-O-L-T - a four-letter word, c'mon Gezza count them, you only need FOUR of those SEVEN fingers on your left hand.

here's the Oxford English Dictionary definition:

Dolt:
noun - a stupid person.
synonyms - fool, Gerry, nincompoop, clown, simpleton;

He doesn't even know what he is arguing about, he seems to think this is a thread asking which band is better. The guy can't even properly digest and comprehend a few lines of basic English.

The amazing thing is, he's not even a troll, just a genuinely unintelligent person.

See, this is an actual criticism of the band and their music that someone can actually respond to. If Pink Floyd isn't your cup of tea, that's all right. For me and a lot of other people, music is about a lot more than catchy hooks, and Pink Floyd's lengthy, drawn-out piece are often brilliant works of music. If that's not for you, whatever, although I would advise listening to an actual album or two as opposed to a greatest hits album so you can listen to the music the way it was initially intended to be experienced.

That said, this thread is a good example of why most fan forums suck. It's possible to be a big Queen fan and still really like a lot of other bands. Like I said earlier, Queen is my favorite band, but I take massive enjoyment from the works of PF and a load of other artists. There's such a huge world of music out there, especially with the Internet making all of it so easily accessible; refusing to enjoy more than one band seems like a waste of time.

And, it cannot be stressed enough, YOU DO NOT GET TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT SOMEONE IS A "FAN."

Haha, don't worry, your English is great, especially compared to gerry's.

That doesn't count as proper English, Jerry.


[QUOTE]i will tell you why because if inu-liger was a real Queen supporter...
[/QUOTE]

You have no business telling me if I'm a "real" Queen supporter or not. Just my collection alone and how much has been invested into it since 1997 blows any doubt of that out of the water. So stop while you're behind. Yes, I said behind because you're certainly nowhere near being ahead.

Why is it this site attracts so many monobrow nutters...? Those of you that seem to think slagging off other artists and shouting that Queen were better than anything ever seem completely at odds with the four members of the band you allegedly support. Have you ever read the words in any interview any one of the members has actually ever had published? If you had you might realise they were/are very supportive of other bands talents and different styles.
The whole point of Queen's creative output is that it draws from all musical styles and nods to dozens of other artists, from Aretha Franklin to Micheal Jackson to Led Zep. Pink Floyd were a fabulously talented band with every once of creative output that Queen had.
Personally I'm delighted they are honoring their late keyboard player by releasing his last work. I'm equally glad to hear new material from The Who, AC/DC, Queen and other talented musicians of their era still putting material out there... why? because I'm a music fan, not a cultural zombie.

It is legendary that fans of a group slag off another group, remember Spandua Ballet fans at logger heads with Duran Duran fans
in the 1980s?
Queen fans were at logger heads with Michael Jackson fans on one poll online, so it is nothing to do with been a cultural zombie
because every one does it, so get off your high horse, pink floyd are crap.

inu-liger: you say i have no right for telling you that you are not a real Queen fan, yet you blatantly
take every opportunity to slate me for my comments so come on then you know this is a web site were
opinions fly around like flies and it would not be normal if everybody agreed would it?
Positive or negative replies are all part of the debate.
I can handle all the critics or idiots who disagree with my comments like Brenski ans pingfah,
that does not bother me a jot.
As i have stated before all your chums on here have spoilt your thread moaning about my comments,
if you do not like what i have said you do not have to reply.
It takes 2 to tango and the likes of Brenski who tries to come across intelligent trying to put me down
is a sad sad excuse for a human, not a scrap of compassion because he always has to be right.
well you will not get rid of me on here, i am like marmite you either love me or hate me, but get over yourselves yeah.
I know Queen are the greatest group ever and if you all disagree then you should drop the act pretending you love Queen
when you are comparing them to a another group.

[/QUOTE] I certainly don't remember Duran Duran fans duking it out with Spandua Ballet. Is that some sort of cover band? [QUOTE]I can handle all the critics or idiots who disagree with my comments like Brenski ans pingfah, that does not bother me a jot. [/QUOTE] Never mind that I don't take you seriously there when you claim it doesn't bother you, apparently you can't be bothered to write in English correctly, as always, no matter how many times we keep trying to point it out to you. Pot, you've got a very ugly kettle to wash off its black stains here. [QUOTE]As i have stated before all your chums on here have spoilt your thread moaning about my comments[/QUOTE] Shut the fuck up. The only spoiler here is yourself. YOU came into this thread with your "Pink Floyd sucks" wah wah bit, and like a few other people already pointed out, you did not even address what I was talking about specifically with this thread. In fact, I'm certain you deliberately came into this thread to try and piss all over it as some sort of revenge for my recently renewed criticisms towards you. You don't usually participate in my threads to begin with. [QUOTE]if you do not like what i have said you do not have to reply[/QUOTE] Would be nice if you'd apply that medicine to yourself there, hypocrite. [QUOTE]well you will not get rid of me on here, i am like marmite you either love me or hate me, but get over yourselves yeah.[/QUOTE] Likewise. [QUOTE]I know Queen are the greatest group ever and if you all disagree then you should drop the act pretending you love Queen when you are comparing them to a another group. [/QUOTE] Subjective opinions are like an asshole: Everybody's got one. Deal with it.

And that's your argument...? ha, sure if you're a 8 year old girl I'm sure Spandua's hair cuts were the days conversation... but after pre-prep most people grow into adults with an actual thought process... unless of course you headed to the football terraces throwing bottles at each other.

Gerry - do you seriously believe that to be a 'true' fan of a group, you have to believe that no other could possibly equal them?
