: Over here, Pink Floyd are huge, and pretty
: much everybody knows who they are, but not a
: lot of people know they did anything besides
: DSOTM , WYWH , and The Wall . Most of my
: friends would probably claim to be Pink
: Floyd fans, but only one or two know who Syd
: Barret is, or that Piper exists.

: Triple M is a semi-classic rock in a way
: that
: they don't specialised in classic rock. They
: mix the classic rock material with modern
: pop rock music.
:
: There isn't a specialist classic rock
: station here.
:
: In any case, I know a few pink floyd fans
: and they all love Pipers and I haven't met a
: pink floyd fan who hasn't heard of Pipers
: yet.
:
: the people who I've met who haven't heard of
: pipers just aren't into classic rock
: themselves or pink floyd.

: but here, it's a common joke (and truism)
: that
: if you tape any given classic rock station
: for three days, you will get complete copies
: of Led Zeppelin IV, Dark Side Of The Moon,
: and Who's Next .
:
: There are a looooot of people who would
: claim to be Pink Floyd fans who don't even
: know who Syd Barret is.

: I just take it as a given that any classic
: rock record doesn't exist to the general
: public (Where I'm from, it's a rarity for
: the general public to recognised that there
: is more to the beatles than Beatlemania and
: hence the perception that they were a 60's
: boy band).
:
: As long as it's recognised by rock fans then
: I'll say it's well recognise.
:
: But maybe classic rock music hasn't
: completely died in the public consciousness
: where you are from or maybe I'm hanging
: around the wrong crowd.

: Everybody who's heard it raves about it, but
: not all that many people have heard it or
: talk about it. To the general public, it
: may as well not even exist.

: Those two are their best album. Animal is
: definitely underrated
:
: However is Pipers really underrated. I mean
: I listened to that album after reading
: positive critical reviews by mainstream rock
: magazine such as Q magazine and rolling
: stones. Syd Barrett is a legend based on
: that one album
:
: I do know people who personally rates Pipers
: as their best album.

: i never hear anybody except for those who
: have
: really sat down and gone through pf's
: catalog mention piper, or animals. it's
: always the same 3: dsotm, wish you were here
: and the wall, and none of their albums come
: close to those two, in my humble opinion.
