Listened to Billie Jean while cleaning, wondered what the all time playlist might be.

I imagine Kanye, Clapton, Pink Floyd, James Brown, Ike Turner all make the cut with MJ but I'm curious what Lemmy comes up with!

I guess I'm too young to know why Pink Floyd is morally questionable?

It likely has more to do with Roger Water's statements about Ukraine and Israel than anything Pink Floyd itself is about.

Roger Waters is a ~~conservative~~ antisemitic shitass, the rest are cool as far as I’m aware. I certainly havent let it stop me from enjoying pink floyd, though I have more trouble separating the art from the artist in other situations (lookin at you JK Rowling)

Conservative? I think you should check your own ass for shit since you’ve got it exactly backward.

Conservative? Last concert I saw with him he was liberal AF. On what do you base his conservatism?

PF (Gilmour et al) is conservative enough…rich old white dudes.
