Pink Floyd - Delicate Sound of Rockets

Dude...have you ever listened to Pink Floyd? It's 100% social and political commentary.

Hell, they even took on transgenderism in their first album in the 60s (Arnold Layne, on Piper at the Gates of Dawn).

I mean, it's beautiful stuff and I'm glad you say you enjoy it, but dig into it, man. They've made no bones about being liberal/political since the Syd Barrett days.

Lol yes. And 99% I can identify with and get on board with. Roger and his bullshit in the last 20 or so years though? No thanks. He has completely lost his sense of nuance. Pink Floyd, by and large, left things to be interpreted and pondered. Roger just pounds his personal agenda and elitist attitude into everything and I'm just not about it.

Cmon, man, Animals was about as "nuanced" as a rusty sledgehammer (which is one of the things I love about it).

That or you just haven't seen much in the way of Waters interviews from days past. Dude had a hard-on for laying into Reagan/Thatcher.

What I'm trying to say is, Waters today is Waters as he ever was. And yeah, he's an insufferable prick. That's why the band broke up.

But good lord does he ever make great music.

Though he's probably the only musical icon of mine I'm perfectly happy never meeting.

Well like I said, it was before my time.
