Ummm.....allright then.

I was reading through some of these posts and im surprised that i haven't seen ZZ Top mentioned at all...

I also saw someone put Pink Floyd as one of the most overrated bands...

Well, quite frankly, that person doesn't know anything about music, because Pink Floyd deserves all the recognition they get, even more.

Pink Floyd is my favorite band for many reasons.

One, Roger Waters lyrics. In my book, he's one of the top sonwriters of all time, with names such as John Lennon, Tom Petty, Bob Dillion, and numerous others.

Two, David Gilmour. I really don't need to explain, but he's just one of the greatest. He's the only guitarist i have listen to that can tell a story with a solo, and make you feel emotional about what he just played, simply amazing.

Richard Wright, God rest his soul, is the most underrated musician out there. His amazing ability to play keyboards, which he is known for, and his ability to play numerous brass instruments along with the guitar. Listen to the intros to Echoes, and Shine on you Crazy Diamond. You'll see why he is the most underrated ever.

Pink Floyd is no where's near close to overrated. Not to mention their use of major, minor, dimished, augmented chords, along with making them seventh chords, flatting the 15th notes, and so many musical geniuses inside their songs...
