Until their first album, The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn, led by Syd Barrett.
From there on having David Gilmour on the guitar, together with Roger Waters composing the music for Dark Side Of The Moon, Wish You Were Here and Animals.
Roger Waters composed The Wall and The Final Cut almost completely by himself. And after that he left the band.
Pink Floyd produced 2 more albums after The Final Cut.
They have performed recently on the Live8 festival, and they're touring again. Unfortunately, I'm not going to see them here in Holland. I don't know if Roger Waters is touring with them now or if it's just him and other band members.
I wonder what you all think of this band. What album you like best and what period you prefer (With Syd or with Roger Waters)?
But wether you like this band or not, they truly have had a damn lot of influence on the music of today.

Written by [user id=114505] on 24.01.2012 at 16:08 Well, you are welcome to take those questions with the staff I see bands like let's say... Rush, Porcupine Tree, Led Zeppelin to be more metakl-related than Pink Floyd.Written by K✞ulu on 24.01.2012 at 16:04 Exactly... Although I still consider some songs to be heavy but not in the traditional meaning of that word. Nevertheless... Wonderful band.

In my opinion Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin are the two biggest bands in history..they were so influential. As far as Pink Floyd is concerned they invented the progressive music, alongside Rush for example..Certainly an inspiration for any rock or metal band around the world. Pink Floyd invented the progressive and Led Zeppelin are the "grandpas" of metal and rock music of the 70's and 80's!!

Sorry if this has been covered and I'm merely adding repetition, but I struggle to think of a band that has had more influence on 'modern rock'. Floyd's influence ranges far and wide, not just for the music...but for the technical aspects, the recordings, the artwork, the business acumen, the live shows...so much! I guess I wonder what band around at the moment could cause such a massive stir in shaping the future of 'rock'... Will we be blighted by bands sounding like Coldplay!? *shudders*

I saw Roger Waters do The Wall last night...one of the best gigs I've ever been to. The sound was flawless, and the visuals were HUGE! If he's touring near you, go and see it!

So I guess there have been some rumors going around about a new album: http://ultimateclassicrock.com/pink-floyd-endless-river-details/ At first, i just thought they were rumors, but this is starting to look a little serious. Apparently, Rick Wright recorded some ambient stuff during the Division Bell recordings that Gilmour and Mason have been working with, I guess. I don't know if Pink Floyd really needs a new album, as I was happy with how things were left after Division Bell and Pulse, but that's just me. I'm sure many of you will have equally mixed feelings.

After all these years, a new album? They're probably gonna go alternative rock to sound "modern"

Written by Karlabos on 07.07.2014 at 00:14 If you take a look at the article I linked, you'll see that I highly doubt that. They're basing it on some old, ambient stuff Rick Wright recorded, with Nick Mason comparing it to stuff like Orb. I imagine it will come out sounding quite a bit like the instrumental tracks on Division Bell (like "Marooned").

I never saw Pink Floyd as a band that wanted to please the audience by sounding modern. I doubt they will start now.

A new album ? without the founders and their influential members ? Then I really think that wouldn't be Pink Floyd album. That will be Gilmour's music.

Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 07.07.2014 at 15:03 well if you ask me Roger Waters is the most important part of PinkFloyd after Syd Barret, Richard Wright was also an important songwriter of Pink Floyd

I very much dislike Pink Floyd and I'm dreading the release of this album because it's going to be everywhere and get 11/10 ratings regardless of quality. Syd Barrett is cool tho.

I can't wait, at least just to hear what they manage to come up with. I've been reading up on what it's "supposed" to sound like but then again the final product is never the same as what they tell you it'll be. Worst-case scenario it's a piece of garbage that everyone hates on for a couple years until it's forgotten by the majority of people and only mockingly referred to in future conversations about the band, best-case scenario they manage to top their classics. I'm thinking it'll land somewhere in between and I'll be a happy camper. How the hell can anyone hate Pink Floyd?

A friend of a friend said he read somewhere that it's going to sound like Animals. I wouldn't trust the guy with a bus ticket, and I can't imagine them go back to that, but I'd love it to be a second Animals.

Written by Boxcar Willy on 25.07.2014 at 16:05 From what I gather from the forum, you like shoegaze/blackgaze/post-rock and stuff. If you don't find that boring, I can't understand how you can find Floyd boring.

I can't change your opinion obviously but if you think Pink Floyd suffers from plodding then I'm not sure what you look for in music. Granted "The Wall" comes off as a little too self-aggrandizing and takes itself too seriously at times which borders on feeling pretentious but even then... plodding isn't an accurate description of what Pink Floyd do.

Written by Ilham on 25.07.2014 at 16:15 I listen to everything from Anal Cunt to Blondie Different styles, PF doesn't exactly build up a swirling atmosphere to justify their song lengths, like post/SHOEGAZE bands can do.

Written by Troy Killjoy on 25.07.2014 at 16:21 Have you ever listened to the classic shoegaze bands? The songs feel like they're swirling around you. Check this Ride song out for example, EDIT: oops, I wrote post in my first comment when I meant shoegaze. I can see the confusion now,
