Floater is one of the most underappreciated bands of all time.

[@timmafryhalsaid3530]

Been seeing them 4 years never let me down!

[@aaronmayhew2.0]

I appreciate them the most out of all the band's. I listen to their music daily. It's a major part of my existence since I was blessed with their music in 95'

[@fromtheplow]

@@aaronmayhew2.0 I agree 200%

[@danielfarmer6062]

@@aaronmayhew2.0 Sam except I was born in 2005 and have been listening to them my whole life🤣

[@aaronmayhew2.0]

@@danielfarmer6062 It was such a great journey starting out with Sink as their first super underground masterpiece and watching them evolve as artists over the years I'm so blessed to have been led to them. 😁

[@paulhammons8981]

We all get old, but the music will never die.

[@typicalfurry2747]

Good to see the most underrated band is having some credit

[@damiankirkwood7924]

fuck....theyre so good

[@user-wo7bz7ii1f]

Very underrated band they are incredible live just as tight as The Police.

[@albundy5492]

Been a fan since i was 15 snuck out to downtown portland saw them at la luna 96 maybe been to 25+ shows over the years always a great show

[@williamajbinder3271]

I had the unfortunate pleasure of being in bands and playing shows like battle of the bands at the starry night. So incredibly gifted and talented. I became a huge fan. I then became friends with their manager at the time. We drove to eugene and I had the opportunity to buy them dinner and hang with them before their show. And damn it if rob would not let me see the set list. What a great group of guys. I'm envious and also so grateful to enjoy their music. How the rage of the Seattle scene back then didn't sweep them up... in a way I'm also thankful that it didn't. Unbelievable amazing, fantastically talented. I really can't say enough. I've never been disappointed... except when he wouldn't let me see the set list.

[@tylerwhitney3443]

his range is epic

[@aaronmayhew2.0]

Voice of an angelic being!

[@sweetsavannahlee]

Favorite band. Also, rob you are a silver fox. 10/10 would smash 😂❤

[@aaronlove2202]

Fantastic band, been a fan scince 96

[@johnkarnaghon6055]

Same here. Exact same year, that's when I seen them for the first time. On my 21st birthday, I was smashed

[@DerrickRuthless]

The sound is KILLER! Floater fan from California approves! (y)

[@timmafryhalsaid3530]

Sound is great indeed

[@orpheuscreativeco9236]

Chico, CA ... If memory serves me. 🤔 I grew up north of there ✌️🎶

[@mikenordby6347]

I was turned onto these guys in 2001 down in Phoenix by a guy named Josh and I’ve been hooked on Floater ever since. There’s nobody else like them and they’re not like anybody else I love that.

[@spagsketti]

I like the fact that every album is different from the next and every song is different from any other song. It is like listing to a different band and if you did not know it was the same you would think it was a different band.

[@linwoodwebber4304]

I've loved this band since the 90s, pretty much as soon as I heard "SINK" I was hooked. A buddy had moved to Maine from Seattle, we have a local band here named Twisted Roots that he liked, he said "check these guys out" (Floater) and I was amazed that they weren't more popular, they're really a great band.

[@aaronmayhew2.0]

Sounds like me. I heard Sink in 96 when I went to college. Peter the destroyer instantly sucked me in. The whole album is a masterpiece from start to the end. Then I heard they had another album. Boom! Favorite band for life!

[@linwoodwebber4304]

I love that they're not trying to be anybody else, not trying to sound like every band that has a number in there name.

[@MacPNW]

So glad I got to see them live in Corvallis

[@AaronPedersen73]

Beautiful.

[@raimywinter2309]

Yes

[@Dc-zu1ii]

WOOOO FUCK YEAH WooooOOOO ... ah yea... i really hope they play again for us next year, like, around may. *EDIT* YEA SEE YOU SUMMER 2019 **edit** this definitely deserves two thumbs up but youtube only lets me use one thumb per video.

[@francinenazaruddin]

je' dore Floater!

[@Merkaba954]

I love them. Sucks they never hit mainstream but at the same time it doesn't because they still put out the greatness they always have instead of phoning it in

[@andrewh.8082]

To be fair, they had one song make it mainstream. From what I've been told, a big part of why they never went mainstream was their desire to keep their style of music. Going mainstream/joining a major record label would likely have taken away their creativity as they wanted it.

[@briannowdesha3986]

Yeah I would just like to voice my frustrations with KZbin has anyone else noticed that someone has stolen Floater's topic Page on KZbin and it now has some guy's auto-tuned mumble rap. someone needs to contact KZbin and let them know or Floater needs to go on KZbin and claim it's topic account back because this guy stole it and he has turned all the comments off because I kept bad-mouthing him and telling him he needed to get his own KZbin account

[@williamkatzer7824]

Seemed there was some hostility in his demeanor...but who's to say how to express it!? Love an artist who can portray that

[@cloudbloom]

Set list?

[@chimainwere7306]

Sounding so much like Police.

[@johnkarnaghon6055]

Is that floaters original drummer?

[@Pdxspotlight]

No that’s Mark Powers who is one of the best drummers around. He also tours with Rob’s solo act.

[@spagsketti]

@@Pdxspotlight One of the best. The best is the drummer for tool Danny Carey just look up the video of him playing "Pneuma". posted by Vic Firth.
