Pink Floyd part 2
from Strange Tales Podcast Hosted by strange tales podcast
Pink Floyd were an English rock band formed in London in 1965. Gaining an early following as one of the first British psychedelic groups, they were distinguished for their extended compositions, sonic experimentation, philosophical lyrics and elaborate live shows, and became a leading band of the progressive rock genre, cited by some as the greatest progressive rock band of all time. Pink Floyd were founded by Syd Barrett, Nick Mason, Roger Waters and Richard Wright. Under Barrett's leadership, they released two charting singles and the successful debut album, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn in 1967. Guitarist and vocalist David Gilmour joined in December 1967; Barrett left in April 1968 due to deteriorating mental health. Waters became the primary lyricist and thematic leader, devising the concepts behind the band's peak of critical and commercial success with the albums The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals and The Wall You can support the podcast if you wish, any help is much appreciated https://www.patreon.com/strangetalespod
