Pink Floyd

Few bands have made albums feel as much like complete worlds as Pink Floyd. Formed in London in 1965, the group began as a psychedelic act led by Syd Barrett, then, with Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Richard Wright and Nick Mason, grew into the defining progressive rock band of the 1970s. Long-form pieces, big concepts and groundbreaking stage shows carried them from the London underground to The Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall, two of the best-selling albums ever made.
