Pink Floyd was purposely disregarded as one of the most influential albums of all time. The writer of the article actually said "Pink Floyd is not on this list, as it should be."
Tell me, why should they be disregarded? Because everyone listens to them? How in any way does that make them UNinfluential? The mere fact that people still know who they are and still acknowledge the band as "is" not "was" says a lot. Dark Side of the Moon spent years on the billboard top 100. YEARS! not 3 weeks, not a few months, but YEARS.

oh, and according to dan, there are now apparently more than 500 days in the year.

Anyway, TIME is acting like a 16 year old hipster who won't listen to bands after more than 25 people know who they are and they don't perform in their sister's basement anymore. People like that suck and don't actually like anything, theyre too preoccupied with being different and cool and mysterious. TIME, you are NOT a mysterious hipster! You are a magazine, and you should know very well that discluding pink floyd is like discluding rolling stones or the beatles. If you had ignored either of those you'd probably be sued or something.

So anyway, TIME's website was taking comments on this so this was mine:

How can Pink Floyd possibly be ignored as one of the most influetial bands of all time? Did we completely forget about The Wall? Dark Side of the Moon? Animals? Or perhaps that DSOTM spent oh, half my life on the billboard 100. How many bands wouldn't even exist if it weren't for Pink Floyd? I believe that is the definition of 'influential'.
Also, Elvis Presley listed during the 1990s and 2000s is simply ridiculous. Elvis didn't actually record any new music during the 90s and 2000s on account of being dead. Sorry guys, Elvis is actually no longer living.
You guys at TIME should just stick to the GOP crisis and leave music to Rolling Stone.


None of you guys really listen to music and so you probably don't care but really, its pretty outrageous. I mean, any band that can make an album into a 2 hour music video deserves at least a speck of recognition.

that's my story.
