A lot of people don't like progressive music.

Personally, I love it, and love Pink Floyd. I saw them live twice, and those were the two most amazing concerts I have ever experienced by a long shot.

I like plenty of progressive music -- king crimson and robert fripp's other projects, for example -- but I don't categorically like all of any genre

If that is the case, then something is wrong. Floyd has such a huge spectrum of music. You can dislike 80% of all their music, but it would be amazing to say you dislike 100% of it.

The same goes for anyone that says they like 90-100% of Floyd. Maybe appreciate 100% of it, but actually like? Yeah, I call bullshit on that.

bullshit on what? I haven't done a case study and listened to their whole catalogue. when did I say I hate 100% of their music? my point was that just because I don't like pink floyd, it doesn't mean I am some philistine who dislikes progressive music.

why do people get so uptight about personal tastes, anyway? does it offend you if I don't like the same things you do? really?

there is a great russian proverb

на вкус и свет, товарихщи нет

(in taste and color, there are no comrades)

Yes but you called "bullshit" on what I said I didn't like. Do you think your opinion on music is objective? Nobody's is, in my opinion.

This is why I quit playing music. So many people so convinced that their tastes and opinions on music are the lord's truth. well, that, and douchebag drummers

thanks for looking. another one who thinks floyd are canonical and anyone who disagrees must know nothing about music. so far, I guess I am the only one.

I don't know what canonical means... Does it have anything to do with cannons?

I like cannons.

But I didn't call it bullshit. Why don't you read that again.

and what else am I to infer from this?

I did. and pointed out I have not listened to 100% of it. (Why would I listen to 100% of a band that gave me a bad general impression? do you do that? I listen to music for enjoyment, not as a science.) so I don't know why you brought that up in the first place.

don't understand why you have to be a dick about it, but hey, enjoy your floyd. sorry I hurt their and your feelings
