Line 8:
* [[Crazy Awesome]]: Syd Barrett. Emphasis on the "crazy" part.
* [[Critical Backlash]]: They triggered a big one at the height of their career. NME was the biggest culprit, with a [[Accentuate the Negative|notoriously scathing]] concert review from the mid-1970s. For the most popular band performing a major [[Dead Horse Genre]], it seems inevitable that critics would run them through a wood chipper.
* [[Critical Dissonance]]: Despite being regularly trashed by some critics (you can find a good review for every Pink Floyd album if you look, and critics mostly ate up their early material; the pastings they would receive in [[The Seventies]] were more of the [[ItsIt's Popular, Now It Sucks]] kind), their albums sold truckloads. The band was eventually [[Vindicated By History]] in terms of critical acclaim and are retroactively now one of the most critically adored bands of the seventies. ''Rolling Stone'' for instance, named ''Wish You Were Here'' the worst album of 1975, but 30-odd years later, included it in the Top 100 of their Greatest Albums of All Time list.
* [[Dork Age]]: The band members themselves see the period between Syd Barrett leaving and the release of ''Dark Side of the Moon'' as this.
* [[Ending Fatigue]]: Usually inverted, as the songs take forever to ''[[Epic Instrumental Opener|start]]'' ("Time", "Shine On You Crazy Diamond"), but played straight sometimes ("Atom Heart Mother").
