Pink Floyd - I'm Addicted!!

Since I was a kid , PINK FLOYD can be considered as one of the leading bands in progressive rock from the seventies. Their first line-up consisted of guitarist Syd BARRETT, bassist-singer Roger WATERS (who left the band in 1983), drummer Nick MASON and keyboardist Rick WRIGHT. Their early material was mostly written and sung by BARRETT, at that time the central figure of the group. The first album "The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn" of 1967 contains come catchy pop songs, together with more experimental and longer instrumental pieces. They even reached the Top-20 in England with the song "Arnold LAYNE". In the beginning of 1968, guitarist David GILMOUR joined the band to replace BARRETT in live performances. But BARRETT had to leave the group because of mental instability.

When the King (Waters) & Queen (Gilmour) era, i'm really addicted to them. Pink Floyd would continue to polish their brand of experimental rock, which married psychedelia with ever-grander arrangements on a Wagnerian operatic scale. Hidden underneath the pulsing, reverberant organs and guitars and insistently restated themes were subtle blues and pop influences that kept the material accessible to a wide audience.

Along with days of sucess, that their lyrics focus heavily on the sadness or evil of our world, but because of that, many people who listen to them start to understand themselves, and that has became Pink Floyd's sucess. My favorite album is obviously Dark Side of the Moon, which made their brand of cosmic rock even more approachable with state-of-the-art production, more focused songwriting, an army of well-time stereophonic sound effects, and touches of saxophone and soulful female backup vocals.

Pink Floyd is the sort of band that has such quality songs that you can listen to every one and not have one bad thing to say about any of them, and that's why Pink Floyd is one of my favorite bands. They know their formula, they can execute it on a grand scale, and they can count on millions of customers - many of them unborn when Dark Side of the Moon came out,(include me) hehehe .. and unaware that Syd Barrett was ever a member.

Lastly, listen to them for curiosity!Rock On!!
