Suddenly noticed all those ppl that 2-4 weeks ago (literally!!!) were newbies themselves and were bashed (usually they did deserve it...) are now trying to put themselves as "oldtimers" by bashing those with lower counts... I mean- they have 100 (or 400) posts now- wow! How hilarious and... how pathetic...
Shut up you noob with less posts.

I remember that I saw somewhere that Smile opened once for Pink Floyd ?!
Yeah, I think twas their first performance, way back in 1968...

Not really, they still did a good job without Roger Waters on A Momentary Lapse Of Reason and Delicate Sound Of Thunder (which is a fine live album).
The only simularity is that they are both good bands. They are different in every other way.

Damn right, Pink Floyd without Roger Waters is like Queen without Freddie.

I really don't think that the number of posts on this board is the indicator of someone being "newbie", and I mean to Queen's music.. So someone who has 1000000 posts can still ask silly questions. As for this "bashing" thing I think you're right in some way, but the question was really unnecessary cause we all know that 99% of people here love Queen the most.
The world without Roger Waters... that would be good...
Hey, DAJA, you are really ’the right one’ to comment anyone topic this way. I haven’t got such post count as you have (and I really don’t mind), but being here for some (well, short) time. I casualy remember some of your comments or topics and I wanna say you’re really arrogant stupid if you dare comment anybody’s topic this way.
And I don’t see on this Floyd v Queen question nothing sooooo bad. I think a lot of QZ visitors listen to more music than only Queen (except of you, DAJA, evidently).

Was this question really so unpredicable?? I mean, this IS QUEENzone for God's sake, couldn't you predict what will 90% of people answer to you? But anyway, Floyd is good, but Queen is THE BEST. Simple as that.
Oh my God, this girl RULES!!! Clear, direct, firm... **loud puff of smoke, Al Pacino's way**... I like her!!!
:-)
Albyboy
No I don't rule Alby, only Queen does, but tnx anyway!!;)) And stop smoking, it stinks!!!!:D
I'm probably the only person who thinks that Pink Floyd was still good after Roger Waters left.
I think 'A Momentary Lapse Of Reason' and 'The Division Bell' are great albums, I honestly don't know what's the problem that some people have with them.
What pisses me off is the way how people keep bashing David Gilmour, when it was Roger Waters the one who wanted out of the band and also retire the band completely. Then when Gilmour, Wright, and Mason decided to still go on, then Roger Water's sued them because he wanted to keep the 'Pink Floyd' name for himself.
I have to admit Roger Waters is a very talented guy, but he's just an egoistical prick.

You’re not the only one. I agree with you. Both ’A Momentary Lapse of Reason’ and ’The Division Bell’ are very good Floyd records (better than The Wall IMHO, which always seemed more Waters child than Pink Floyd to me). And if I remember correctly, the last LP with Roger Waters was ’The Final Cut’ (I call it The Wall II) which one was much weaker than another 2 studio albums above. I always felt Final Cut is ’Roger Waters and some band behind him called Pink Floyd’.
But, despite of I wrote before, Floyd best years lie in 70’s (Wish You Were Here, Meddle, The Dark Side of the Moon) anyway. With Roger Waters.
I agree with the last two posters...Roger needed to leave in order for Pink Floyd to survive and progress. As you guys said the Wall and Final Cut were pretty much Water's solo albums. Meddle, Dark Side and Wish You Were Here is the best PF era, there is then a significant drop during the Wall/Final Cut era and then another up swing during the post-Roger era, tho obviously not as good as the aforementioned Meddle, Dark Side, WYWH era.
And I totally disagree with the poster who said that Roger leaving was like Queen losing Freddie. Queen pretty much died with Freddie, where as Pink Floyd had some better albums withouth Roger(Momentary Lapse of Reason and Divison Bell) then ones they had made with Roger(the Wall and Final Cut).
The awesome thing about Pink Floyd is how they lost not only one good song writer but two. They soley relied on Syd Barret, their first singer and guitarist, as their songwriter. After Syd went crazy, they each had to learn to write and Roger emerged as the best and a hell of a song writer. Pink Floyd then had to endure his departure and once again survived. It would have been tough for Queen to have survived, if say, Freddie and Brian had left after Queen II.
Pink Floyd definetly should be consider the most resilient band ever.

I think Queen is the best band ever due to the combination and the alchemy of four wonderfully skilled musicians,composers and singers(well,3 of them).Always recognisable in the majestic guitar orchestration of Brian,the intriguing bass lines of John and the fast,solid and very Rock drumming of Roger.Adding the fact that Freddie alone stands up everyone else in Rock'n'Roll history for his vocal delivery,stage presence and writing abilities.I rate him 10/10 in all these fields.The most important thing is that you never get bored to listen to Queen fot their vast and varius repertoire which leads you to new,unexpected,differents and outregeous musical territories.And for the voice of Freddie,of course!A thing that I always love is that they are open minded,musically and not,auto-ironic (mostly Freddie)which is the first symptom of being intelligent and non-political,which dosn't mean not fight for good social causes(AIDS in primis).Afer all,it's only mucic and bloody records,to quote Freddie and they made music in a universal language simply touchig people hearts and souls.Is for this that I don't get mad for acts like Bruce Springsteen or U2.I love some of their songs but the political side of music is not my cup of tea.On the other hand,I always loved Pink Floyd but with a total different approach.I listen to them with mind,not haert.Nowadays I don't listen to them all the days(Queen Yes!)They had 2 co-leaders,Waters and Gilmour,an underrated keybordist,Wright,and a quite experimental drummer,in his heydays,Mason.And previuos,a total visionary and out of control leader,guitarist,singer but mostly lirycist,Syd Barret.Waters also is a great lirycist and a good musician,Gilmour is a guitar maestro with a unique touch.With one guitar note he brigs you to another world.While there was a good combination and balance of their attitudes,mostly during the 70's,they did music masterpieces one over another.When their egoes rivalled and prevalled upon their music,the magic faded out and Waters quit.I loved the post-Waters Floyd releases because for me first come the music,then lirics.I'm not interested that much in being mad whith hidden messages,or political statements which sound very dated to time(take the case of Simple Minds with the musically wonderful song "Set Mandela free".How can you sing it now when He is free since 1990 circa?).I hope that Gimmour,like Waters,has the will to carry on and still bring the name,sound and music of Pink Floyd in these unculturated times,musically(sadly not only)speaking.Years ago,i gave my contribution on the creation of a Internet-leader italian site,writing the History section.Feel free to visit this site:
