Cambridge, England, United Kingdom (1965 – 1994)

Pink Floyd was a / band formed in Cambridge, England, United Kingdom in 1965. Pink Floyd is one of ’s most successful and influential acts, having sold over 200 million albums worldwide and with 74.5 million certified units in the United States, making them one of the best-selling artists of all time.

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, 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.

    Ron Geesin also played the Atom Heart Mother suite live with David Gilmour once in 2008. How I wish, How I wish I was there :(

    @ carinaspilka - Ron Geesin, a multi-instrumentalist friend of Nick Mason who scored the orchestral sections. He was the first conductor for the album as well but was replaced by John Aldiss when he had difficulty dealing with EMI session musicians. (Tried to hit one. XD)

    Yeah, I love A Momentary Lapse of Reason, probably more than most. The half hour that stretches from On the Turning Away to the end of Sorrow is exquisite! Signs of Life and Learning to Fly are both incredible, too.
