I don't get Pink Floyd. He seems like a POS to me.

So, I've been watching VH1 for the past 10 minutes, and Pink Floyd doesn't seem that talanted with the guitar, neither with the voice.

For example, the stuff Sarah Chang did before she was 18 with the violin pwns what Pink Floyd did today anyday. And Pink Floyd's like what? 40 years older?

So, why is he so famous?

Because people are idiots.
This is also why Greenday have sold many albums.

Because a lot of people listen to their music while smoking pot.

Go listen to Dark Side of the Moon (the album as a whole, not the song) or The Wall. Musical Genius.

Let's just see what Sarah Chang can do when she's 55+ years old...

Umm, unless she gets arthritis or something, her skill won't decrease.

Sure there is! He and Steely Dan hang out together all the time, sometimes Mott the Hoople will join them. ;)

So we'll have Lynnyrd Skynnyrd on bass, Pink Flown on guitar, Jethro Tull singing, Steely Dan on keyboards and Mott the Hoople on drums.
