Overview
The quintessential “album act,” Pink Floyd are legendary for Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were
Here, and landmark live performances of The Wall. Yet, the band is currently a top-20 ranked rock act on
Spotify, based on individual plays of tracks such as “Money” and “Comfortably Numb.”
This entry in the “Goes to 11” series provides essential background and additional information to present a unique point of view on the band’s music, its impact and famous history of tense personal relationships.Was Syd Barrett’s greatest contribution to Pink Floyd an early composition in its repertoire—such as “See Emily Play” or the improvisational “Interstellar Overdrive”—or was it forcing the circumstances that established its classic lineup of Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Richard Wright? Is “Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)” the showcase moment from the greatest rock opera since the Who’s Tommy—or is it just a pompous novelty record? Nearly 20 years after Roger Waters first “Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun,” did David Gilmour decide “Learning to Fly” would be a step forward for Pink Floyd? Get Ric Dube’s unfiltered perspective here.
