I think Pink Floyd is overrated 
Shpongle to me is pure sex.
You have to at least listen to Are you Shpongled? while the sun is rising on a hefty dose of L once in your life
You don't have to be on drugs to appreciate it. But I'm fairly convinced the first couple albums at least, were written for people on, and while under the influence of psychedelics

so you can accept that certain bands can be viewed as overrated?

I had a group of friends who did not "get" Shpongle. So I bought them all tickets (6 people) to go see a Shpongle DJ set in the mountains, and dosed all of them with LSD, shrooms and gave them all some DMT at the right moments. Three of them cried during the show, tears of happiness. All of them enjoyed it thoroughly and told me that it was one of the best shows of any kind they had ever been to. That night he played a 3 hour set.
That was my fourth time seeing Simon Posford play. I'm a huge fan. I wasn't a huge fan until a friend brought me to a show of his.
Shpongle is definitely made for the psychedelic scene, but you don't need to be high to enjoy his deep and complex sound. It might lack the melody that most people are used to in popular music, but where there is a lack of easily recognizable melody, there is a universe of harmony. He is best served live, and once you see him in a communal setting you cannot help but be a fan. His music is carefully, passively and quietly absolutely mind blowing.

Agreed x1000 on every count. I loved Shpongle to death before but live blows my mind every time.
Seeing the Shpongletron on LSD is probably the best live performance I've ever seen.
Really good artists sound better live then they do on their albums. Shpongle takes that to a new level.

I guess it's just not the music that sinks in for me. I listen to it and I find it boring, I can think of a hundred other bands that can do the same sounds but better.
NOT TRYING TO BE OFFENSIVE, LIKE WHAT YOU LIKE. THIS IS A PERSONAL OPINION
Another factor could be that I'm not the biggest fan of synthesizers to an extent.
Give me this or this or this or this!
I don't like anything from Pink Floyd that came after Dark Side, and what I do like is with Syd Barrett. Now that's some true raunchy dark psychedelic! Anything else I can do without.
But yes, since we are aware that personal preference comes into play, as it would with any music discussion, I guess my taste buds point me in a different direction. I'm happy that Shpongle fans enjoy Shpongle, and if someone wants to buy me a ticket for a show, I won't complain!

Shpongle is overrated.
for some reason, every keep mentioning the fact that you need drugs to enjoy a live show and to "see" what he's all about.
that spells out, overrated, too me.
plus, all those sounds he makes.
