Biography

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.

    Spotify is largely guilty for tagging the songs with the "remaster" tag, and it is annoying.

    Well, because tags are largely irrelevant for people outside last.fm and let's face it, we're a minority, so when they're remixing/re-naming these song titles, they don't care what it looks like on someone's online library, but instead what the music sounds like. That being said, I don't really know why they decide to tag the songs as "remastered" besides to differentiate itself from the original recording (spoiler: there isn't a huge difference)

    I hate that "2011 Remaster" crap too. [5] I don't know why the fuck they don't put the "2011 Remaster" only in the title of the album and leave the titles of the songs alone.

    @tropicalhaze: It is there, but you might have missed it because of the "remastered" album cover.
