Can we puh-leaze make Pink Floyd go away? They've sucked since Syd Barrett went over the deep end and Roger Waters took control of song writing. It's impossible to listen to a 'classic rock' station for an afternoon without hearing a cut from The Dark Side of the Moon. And blah-blah-blah, I know that if you watch the Wizard of Oz and play that album it seems to be the oh-so-perfect soundtrack. I loved when my favorite band of junkies, Ministry, came out with The Dark Side of the Spoon.

Can we also make the Rolling Stones go into a retirement home? They are so creepy and you can't get away from them. Ick.
But I agree with you on Pink Floyd -- way too much air time.
What's next -- American Express commericals with Keith Richards???

Kath,
I have terrible news for you- the Rolling Stones passed away 10 years ago...
Amen to that! But, as long as there are colleges, there will be Floyd. It's a stoner folkway -- as surely as one learns about 'stems and seeds,' there will be some guy giving his 'captive audience' a long-winded lecture on the majesty of 'Animals.'
Which doesn't fully explain why Floyd is so prevalent on squarely Blue Collar-aimed Classic Rock Radio formats -- Blue Collar workers are subject to random drug testing pretty much all the time. Like Branson, MO, "...that's familiar!"
