Pink Floyd

Pink Floyd is a psychedelic rock band established in the sixties, although they did not become well-known until the seventies. They are responsible for establishing "space rock", a dreamier, more ambient form of psychedelic rock. Space rock had been introduced in the sixties by David Bowie. They had numerous hit singles and bestselling albums. They are also known for their film The Wall and its corresponding album. Pink Floyd also pioneered songs which segue into the next. Their early work is more stoner metal. They had multiple lead vocalist changes during their existence. Robert Plant collaborated with Jimmy Page, formerly of The Yardbirds. In the eighties, they adopted a more progressive rock style as times changed. The song Another Brick in the Wall is divided into three parts, but the second is the most popular due to its funky sound and rebellious lyrics. Neo-progressive rock band Porcupine Tree has taken heavy influence from Pink Floyd. Neo-prog band Marillion has claimed influence from Pink Floyd member David Gilmour.
