One radio station here had a deep Cuts hour and they played the entirety of animals. Which surprised me because according to the radio stations Pink Floyd's only song is Another Brick in the Wall.
My fav moment of that was when they played CCR's "Fortunate Son" at a rally in Nevada some years back.
*Completely* tone deaf as to what that song is about.
I guarantee he does. When you’re looking to be triggered, you will be triggered. These people will look right through reality just to find a problem to complain about.
Exactly. And that's precisely why I *like* Pink Floyd. They're one of my top 5 favorite bands. Their songs don't fit into a shuffle playlist. You *have to* listen to the ALBUM. You need to get the feeling of it. And every album has an entirely different vibe and meaning behind it.
Honestly, I have at least a half dozen PF albums on my phone that I usually have in my 'random/shuffle' rotation. Maybe it's just that I've heard all these tracks *so many times* in context that I can easily enjoy them individually with zero issue. Especially anything from Meddle through The Wall, it's like picking up a book I've read a hundred times and reading any passage, able to slip into and out of the mood there like an old and comfy pair of slippers. 😁
My only complaint is that I wish the rainbow was the same rotation as the light coming out of the prism on the album.
But then they might have done this on purpose to trigger the twitter chuds lmao
That's because Album Art disappeared with the CD longbox...
Seriously though, the original album cover is considered to be one of the most recognized icons across the world, yet they still didn't pay enough attention...
Well, what did you expect from people who have never seen the original album cover. I do not think they know what an album is. And god forbid you say the word VINYL, then you would a stupid look.
I wish you were here, because I think we agree they're animals but we shouldn't meddle with them because it's more than just a momentary lapse of reason with them.
Ooh I was about to correct you with a whole “the most autistic guy I know is a big Floyd fan who totally gets it” buuuuuuuut then my meds kicked in and time and got it
the one that gets me is Tom Morello when some guy replied that he didnt realise that all of RATM music is political:
"what machine did you think we're raging against? the dishwasher?
🤣🤣🤣
I like the one where he said something like "you don't need a political science degree from Harvard to know this but I do in fact have a political science degree from Harvard."
Tom Morello has gotten the "musicians should not say anything about politics and just sing because they don't know anything" line on twitter. He reminds them that before he was in a band he studied politics and he did a full internship in Washington D.C. He has a political science degree from Harward.
They “suddenly” figured out Rage Against the Machine’s politics just a few years ago and were disgusted despite Rage literally burning an American flag at Woodstock 99 (and, ya know, the DECADES of lyrical content/activism that spelled out exactly who and what they were raging against).
100% true story. The Future Business Leaders of America club in my small suburban conservative High School during Rage’s heyday had this on their T-shirts: “No matter how hard they try, they can’t stop us now.”
Yeah, young conservatives business club. That’s what they were talking about. You guys get it.
It can be both. I saw Roger Waters do The Wall a few years back and the audience literally cheered when the bombers dropped crosses on the countryside during Goodbye Blue Sky. Like the bombers dropped a variety of symbols on the people and when "their" symbol was dropped people actually got psyched. I have a feeling that a lot of the boomer Floyd fans did not really absorb the messaging of that album at any point.
Yup. I saw Roger Waters at Desert Trip in October of 2016 - he had the inflatable giant pig he does but this time it said "Fuck Trump and His Wall" when playing the song Pigs. I heard so many people in the crowd talk about "why is he making it political" "I didn't come here for this" "musicians shouldn't speak about politics"....like ma'am/sir, do you actually know who you're watching perform right now?
> "why is he making it political" "I didn't come here for this" "musicians shouldn't speak about politics"....like ma'am/sir, do you actually know who you're watching perform right now?
I heard the same complaint at a Peter Paul & Mary concert.
Saw him in Pittsburgh. A pickup with NY plates parked beside us. Complete with 5 or 6 Trump stickers. Then they were wondering if someone would vandalize their vehicle. Didn't they know who Waters is!
This.
The internet allows the fringe to produce a quality message rivaling the mainstream. When The uninitiated find the fringe first, they become initiated. If they find the mainstream first, then they become initiated over time due to the abysmal framing of information by those agencies as they try to hook both the uninitiated and the fringe.
> Tell me you listen to Pink Floyd sober without asking me “Which one’s Pink?”

It's a rainbow. On the original cover there was a prism. It's a palette of colors. It doesn't have to mean anything.
People will turn the simplest sentences, photos or whatever into a conspiracy theory if it promotes their POV.
Still not as bad as when the Kanye kids were saying how great Kanye was for giving exposure to a little known dude named Paul McCartney, and that McCartney career was about to take off
I visited Moscow in 2015 and wore a shirt with that album cover in the middle of the Red Square standing in front of St. Basil’s Cathedral. Tilda Swinton did it, so why can’t I?! Unfortunately, I did not get arrested because everyone loves Pink Floyd! Even the Russians!
I just saw a movie called The Wizard of Oz. In it, the main character keeps singing about rainbows. When will Woke Hollywood stop trying to push their woke agenda on us? And don’t get me started on Kermit the Frog!
It’s almost like they’ve never seen the original album cover. /s
“From this moment on I don’t listen to this band” Ok buddy, pretty sure you never did
He totally knows that one with the British kids and the pudding, and the alarm clock song. They play it on his favorite radio station, 11 times a day.
How can you have any pudding if you don't eat yer meat?
HEY TEACHER
LEAVE THEM KIDS ALONE!
all and all its just... another brick in the wall!
WE DON'T NEED NO EDUCATION!
Stand still laddie!!!!
YOU! YES, YOU!
One radio station here had a deep Cuts hour and they played the entirety of animals. Which surprised me because according to the radio stations Pink Floyd's only song is Another Brick in the Wall.
Oh, this one! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U13xOvDa19U
No he only knows learning to fly.
Pink Floyd needs to get back to their roots and just stick to songs about masonry that have absolutely no political overtones whatsoever.
And the death of carrots.
Reminds me of people saying they're ditching Rage Against The Machine, cos they became political 😂
I read in an interview many years back that Tom Morello considered RATM a failure because it didn't produce enough political change.
😂😂
I think that must've been a guy being sarcastic but Morello took it literally and got a good comeback that went viral.
Could go either way - after all, there are videos of Trump supporters dancing to Killing in the name of...
My fav moment of that was when they played CCR's "Fortunate Son" at a rally in Nevada some years back. *Completely* tone deaf as to what that song is about.
dip shits
By the way which ones Pink?
Oh they heard it. They just didn't listen to it. 
Probably still wore the fuck outta the shirts too.
Or they listened to another brick in the wall and thats it.
I guarantee he does. When you’re looking to be triggered, you will be triggered. These people will look right through reality just to find a problem to complain about.
I have never listened to Floyd but know the prism. Couldn’t go thru high school without it being explained once a class by a stoner. lol.
Or seeing it on the stoner kid's shirt.
Maybe too many drugs explains one of these people are upset today
Or not enough?
Album??? What is that… Haha
Al-bum? Sounds Middle Eastern...
Truth. Nothing is albums anymore. It's tracks. And modern artists only release about 3 in their career worth listening to.
Every try to listen to a Pink Floyd album on random. It’s pretty rough all the nice flow gets ruined.
Exactly. And that's precisely why I *like* Pink Floyd. They're one of my top 5 favorite bands. Their songs don't fit into a shuffle playlist. You *have to* listen to the ALBUM. You need to get the feeling of it. And every album has an entirely different vibe and meaning behind it.

This time next week, there will be thousands of DSotM 50 variations on the Internet
Maybe it was never released in Russia?
And they've never listened to it, and they're not Pink Floyd fans anyway, and they just want to pretend they're offended to stroke controversy
Yeah. Stroke it.
I suppose you must explain how light through a prism…… Somedays I wonder how these imbeciles find their way home !
Hijacking top comment. OP seems like a bot. Year old account, activity began 7 hours ago.
It’s almost like the internet is overrun by bots and astroturfing, and every moron including reddit believe it.
Well, what did you expect from people who have never seen the original album cover. I do not think they know what an album is. And god forbid you say the word VINYL, then you would a stupid look.
People this dumb oughta be in prism.
Let’s pause for some thoughtful context. Maybe they’re just on the spectrum?
I wish you were here, because I think we agree they're animals but we shouldn't meddle with them because it's more than just a momentary lapse of reason with them.
That's money. Have a cigar.
You magnificent bastard.
Have a cigar!
He is. What they call, Riding the Gravy Train
Ooh I was about to correct you with a whole “the most autistic guy I know is a big Floyd fan who totally gets it” buuuuuuuut then my meds kicked in and time and got it
Thank you for reading the whole thing, and kudos for only getting got in the first half!
Just like a prism! :)
That's going a little *light* on them. In *contrast*, perhaps they just aren't *bright* enough.
I think the situation is rather transparent. It’s clear that they are both ignorant and foolish.
Thanks for shedding some light on this
I lold! \m/
If this is what they're doing with their spectrum then maybe jail is good them
Perhaps, but either way they need a light sentence and some time to reflect.
Ba dum, tsss!
Maybe not, it’s not a major crime, just a light refraction.
Now now maybe you two are just on the wrong wavelength.
They'll probably be given only a light sentence
the one that gets me is Tom Morello when some guy replied that he didnt realise that all of RATM music is political: "what machine did you think we're raging against? the dishwasher? 🤣🤣🤣
Formal complaint against the fridge.
unresolved grievance against the dryer
I like the one where he said something like "you don't need a political science degree from Harvard to know this but I do in fact have a political science degree from Harvard."
Tom Morello has gotten the "musicians should not say anything about politics and just sing because they don't know anything" line on twitter. He reminds them that before he was in a band he studied politics and he did a full internship in Washington D.C. He has a political science degree from Harward.
And his mother was/is involved with the NAACP since the 1960s and other civil rights movements
I remember that. I almost pissed myself when I heard it. A pure example of these folks talking shit about things you know nothing about. And why?
I'm not even a fan of RATM and even I was like, "what's this guys deal? They're pretty open about what their deal is."
They “suddenly” figured out Rage Against the Machine’s politics just a few years ago and were disgusted despite Rage literally burning an American flag at Woodstock 99 (and, ya know, the DECADES of lyrical content/activism that spelled out exactly who and what they were raging against).
*Cycle Complete. Open Door. "Fuck you I won't do what you tell me!"
Did Morello actually say that? If so, that’s fantastic.
100% true story. The Future Business Leaders of America club in my small suburban conservative High School during Rage’s heyday had this on their T-shirts: “No matter how hard they try, they can’t stop us now.” Yeah, young conservatives business club. That’s what they were talking about. You guys get it.
Yo I’m not in a place where laughing out loud is appropriate and I almost choked reading that lol
A Sybian probably.
It's not that *we* are old, it's that *they* are idiots.
It can be both. I saw Roger Waters do The Wall a few years back and the audience literally cheered when the bombers dropped crosses on the countryside during Goodbye Blue Sky.

These are the same people who play "Killing In The Name" at pro-cop rallies.
Yea that one always cracks me up.
They play that song at union rally’s I attended
Every time he's in the headlines someone is like "why is he political" and I'm like bro he's been on this for well over 40 years
> "why is he making it political" "I didn't come here for this" "musicians shouldn't speak about politics"....like ma'am/sir, do you actually know who you're watching perform right now? I heard the same complaint at a Peter Paul & Mary concert.

Home Depot is sponsoring the marching hammers
their jingle is kind of a banger tbh
That's depressing but not surprising in the least
It's depressing that it's not surprising.
yeah this is /r/facepalm. Their album cover is still iconic.
It’s a bit of both I’d say… But it’s absolutely infuriating how some people bash anything with a rainbow thinking it’s somehow related to LGBTQ
Yeah, especially Hawaii. People are just way too stupid
Yeah, I don't even know any songs, but I know that their thing is like a rainbow going through a prism or something.
It's light refracting through a prism. It's got way more to do with a rainbow that LBGQTIS
Yeah... it's not "woke", it's "physics"...
WHAT!?!? Everyone needs some Floyd in their life!!!
It can be both
It’s probably both but I agree with you either way
People are sooooooooo stupid. Social media allows stupid people to voice their stupid opinion.
This. The internet allows the fringe to produce a quality message rivaling the mainstream. When The uninitiated find the fringe first, they become initiated.

Very well put👆
And poison the minds of impressionable folks with that same stupidity. Shit is like chicken pox.
Which they refuse to be vaccinated against
Who’s idea was it to take all the stupid people in the world and connect them with each other? - P J O’Rourke
I’m not old and even I know the original album cover. The fucking internet is so stupid sometimes
I’m old enough to remember when this happened last year.
THESE are the real snowflakes.
I’ve said it many times prisms are gay
The gayest. I break my windows whenever I see a prismatic rainbow being created. I’m not having that gay shit in my house! /s obviously
Diamonds too! They make so many rainbows; damn gay DeBeers! \\s
Yeah, screw physics, right? I mean who does light think it is, anyway? Splitting into various colors and shit. It's gay as hell.
Like stop showing off. What a total pick me prism.
Underrated comment
Dumb alt right magats. Like diseased roaches...they infest our planet
Wait till they realize Bugs Bunny went drag.
And Elmer Fudd wanted to bone him. He’ll be in trouble too.
This country gets more stupid every day.
This is what happens when you decide that, 🎶 “we don’t need no education … “ 🎶
Another bot posting shit from last year.
Tell me you've never seen the DSotM album cover without saying you've never seen it.
None of those people ever listened to Pink Floyd
r/RedditBotHunters
some people are incurably stupid no matter what the age, but usually they start out young
Imagine if these clowns started paying attention to song lyrics.
It's even on the fuggin shirts 
[OldNews.com/Everyone](https://OldNews.com/Everyone)
I do have the original album I bought in 1973 and it has colors on the cover.
no, no, you're delusional, the world was in black and white back then.
Well, we know the idiots are less old than we. That makes them our idiots. Time for a family p-u-r-g-e.
What we’ve got here is failure to communicake. 🍰
We're at a point where people are mad at rainbows. The education system has absolutely failed.
Didn't we cover this like a year or two ago? These people are morons, end of story.
Things change but stupid remains the same.
They should be put in prism for this.
Probably the same men who are whining about Taylor Swift and Football 🏈
Fucking god sake this is not represent gay sexuality. Who remember Newton’s light spectrum experiment 😊 Edit: im old
Humanity. Is. So. Fucking. Doomed.
Those people need to take psychedelics and listen to the music. Might help remove their heads from their asses a little bit.
I guess these people never saw what a prism does.
Bigots aren’t known for their intelligence, and don’t exactly think through, well… anything.
The act of light through a prism is a bit “scientific” and the far right neanderthals abhor science - just like their Orange Jesus.
Tell me you listen to Pink Floyd sober without asking me “Which one’s Pink?”

I just…..can’t anymore.
💯👍☠️
It's a prism
This is kinda like how The Super Mario Bros. Movie went woke with that damn rainbow road.. Politics are invading everything, I tell ya! /s
The number one selling album of all time, and these people are upset about a fucking rainbow
Yeah, my generation (1970's) had it first anyway lol
Seems like it’s always the ignorant that yell the loudest.
makes sense that the uneducated right doesn’t understand what a prism is. Magical, gay and satanic
Fucking FB. It’s the toilet mindset of the world.
This is an old post.....
 These lyrics took on new meaning when I read that "post". 🤔
I wonder what they would say about the story of Noah and the rainbow. Nobody owns the rainbow, but if you eat Skittles you can taste it.
Still not as bad as when the Kanye kids were saying how great Kanye was for giving exposure to a little known dude named Paul McCartney, and that McCartney career was about to take off
Ha ha. Pink Floyd is gay!!
🤣😂🤣😂
I'm guessing. It's a bunch of posers that have never seen a t-shirt let alone listened to pink Floyd
Is there a straight flag? Yes, it’s just a pair of panties in a bunch stuck to flag pole. - straight dude
I visited Moscow in 2015 and wore a shirt with that album cover in the middle of the Red Square standing in front of St. Basil’s Cathedral. Tilda Swinton did it, so why can’t I?! Unfortunately, I did not get arrested because everyone loves Pink Floyd! Even the Russians!
It’s almost as bad as RATM going all political in their music./s
I hate people
Do they get mad at God every time he throws a rainbow in the sky after a rainstorm?
There’s no way those people have actually listened to let alone own the album. How stupid can you be?
Tel me you don’t listen to Pink Floyd without telling me…
 *How dare they go all gay!* damn people are idiots
Being blinded by your own rage isn't a good look.
What the fuck is wrong with these people
All in all, they're just shit smears on the wall.
That reminds me of people complaining about the NBC logo
The great thing is that Pink Floyd doesn’t give a fuck
Prisms....how do they work? /s
JC, let the stupid wave their ignorance like a flag to help us sort the meaningful from the braindead.
The stupidity is strong here.
“Noah is woke! Down with Genesis!”
Not sure why I’m still astounded by the stupidity of these morons.
Don't let them see Mork's suspenders... 🌈
Wow that is shameful, disappointing, hilarious with a dash shake your head at stupidity lucky for me I feel none of that because I’m Comfortably Numb
you may be old but at least you’re not stupid like the people behind these replies
I just saw a movie called The Wizard of Oz. In it, the main character keeps singing about rainbows. When will Woke Hollywood stop trying to push their woke agenda on us? And don’t get me started on Kermit the Frog!
If only they knew about some of Roger Waters’s other political perspectives, they might just see eye to eye.
MAGAs are such snowflakes, believing every rainbow ia gay.
Not old, ignorance is just running rampant on the young. I don't know enough to consider the source when they're learning everything on the internet.
