Pink Floyd was a psychedelic/progressive rock band formed in Cambridge, England in 1965. Pink Floyd is one of rock’s most successful and influential acts, having sold over 300 million albums worldwide. The band’s classic lineup was Roger Waters (vocals, bass), David Gilmour (vocals, guitar), Rick Wright (organ, keyboards, vocals) and Nick Mason (drums). Gilmour was brought into the band in 1968 to replace the band’s founder, singer, guitarist and songwriter Syd Barrett, who had become increasingly erratic and departed from the band a few months after Gilmour’s addition. The band became known for their advancements in the genres of psychedelic rock and progressive rock music, philosophical lyrics, avant-garde compositions, sonic experimentation, innovative cover art and elaborate live shows.
Pink Floyd enjoyed modest success in the late-1960s as a psychedelic band led by Syd Barrett. Barrett’s increasingly erratic behavior eventually caused his colleagues to replace him after The Piper at the Gates of Dawn with guitarist David Gilmour. The band went on to record several elaborate concept albums; achieving worldwide success with 1973’s The Dark Side Of The Moon (The second best-selling album of all time), 1975’s Wish You Were Here, 1977’s Animals, and 1979’s The Wall, among the best-selling, most critically acclaimed, and enduringly popular albums in rock music history.

VVVVVVVVVV---------So fucking true. Led Zeppelin wouldn't be as popular if it wasn't for posers. But I don't care, Pink Floyd and Zeppelin are fucking awesome and not overrated.

It's not the bands themselves that are overrated, but some snobs who pretend to be avid fans of them just to be cool, because they think that listing Pink Floyd or Led Zeppelin among others sophisticates your taste in music. Real fans shouldn't give a damn about posers of any kind.

I agree with High_Numbers. I don't think anything is OVERRATED or anything is GOOD. There is no good in music. There's taste.

There is no such thing as "overrated". Really what is "overrated"? The artist isn't gaining praise for no reason. To say Pink Floyd or The Beatles is "overrated" is quite a silly thing to say since their impact and influence is so profound. Those who term music usually are inept to do so as in "Those who can't do, teach" Really it's "Those who can't compose, criticize." "Can you say...piss off?"

i find it hard to comprehend how DSOTM is so much better than all of its post releases.... the quality drop thereafter is just weird. How the hell did they manage to produce that album SO WELL in 1973!? with TAPE!?
