Congratulations, you just stuck your foot in your mouth.
Despite them being seen as a 'drug band,' drugs played very little part in Pink Floyd's music. None of them took LSD after Syd's breakdown, they smoked dope yes, but very rarely, and there were never class As lying around the studio, if anywhere else. The Floyd were not a drug band, at least not post-1967.
Garcin:
Clarification: they were not known for finding their inspiration in drugs in the the '70s. I'm sure if you took the total amount of LSD, ludes, shrooms and cannabis consumed by people listening to Pink Floyd in the '70s, you could fuck the world up every day forever.
Thrillho:
What the hell does that have to do with hating Pete Doherty for being a crack-addicted cock jockey?
Is it being implied that we're hypocrites for liking Pink Floyd despite their fans being druggies, but hating Pete Doherty for being a druggy?
schimmy:
Well, I suppose if you're making the assumption that Pink Floyd fans are druggies, and that the people here bashing Doherty for being a druggy are Pink Floyd fans, then there is some hypocrisy.
Of course, that requires some pretty major assumptions and generalisations to be true.

Not at all. I think comparing Pink Floyd and Pete Doherety is absurd. I think Doherty is rubbish, and Pink Floyd are one of the most significant things to happen to music in the past 50 years. I also think that this would be true regardless of what the members of Pink Floyd, Doherty or their respective fans consumed. I was just disambiguating the phrase "drug band". I was actually aiming for funny/ironic.
EDIT: Also, as I said before I don't dislike Doherty because he's got an on-again/off-again relationship with horse. I dislike him because he's a creepy pasty small talent fuckwad that shoots his own blood at cameramen, and draws blood from semi-comatose groupies while his best buds take photographs for posterity.
