This is the Conversation Forum for Heavy Metal << Top 5 Hardcore and Noisecore >> Subject: Pink Floyd? Posted May 20, 2004 by axe_slingin_doug   Posting 1 Pink Floyd heavy metal? No way, man, they were to soft, psychedelic and progressive to ever dabble in that genre. Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: Pink Floyd?

Pink Floyd is - in some way - influenced, or has influence on HM... but I agree it's a bit far fetched. HELL Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: Pink Floyd?

If you like it , you like it. Take away the rules and boundaries, its art for f*ck sakes. Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: Pink Floyd?

Doesnt really matter that much to me. I'd like pop if it wasnt so much like pop. Subject: Pink Floyd? Posted Sep 8, 2005 by osprey1987 This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 9 Actually, Pink Floyd's The Nile Song from their 1968 soundtrack album More is probably the very first heavy metal song. There's a 30 second excert on the Amazon page for More. Unfortunately, it was their only metal song although Careful with that Axe, Eugene is pretty heavy.
