The Untold Story of Pink Floyd: Brilliance, Chaos, and the Greatest Albums of All Time

from Professor of Rock

Okay, it doesn’t get any bigger than this. I’ve got an impossible task ahead of me and I don’t know how I’m going to do this. For this episode, I’m tackling the story of one of my Top 3 bands of all time, Pink Floyd. They have over a quarter of a billion albums sold and a catalog of studio albums spanning nearly five decades. But their acclaim isn’t counted in albums made or sold. It’s all about the music… songs that have captivated generation after generation. And to do it in the way that they have, it truly is the greatest rock and roll story ever told… Light and dark, genius and insanity, high stakes drama, hostile takeovers, decades-long feuds, bitter firings, near breakups… and then a real break up. But mixed within the madness… some of the greatest albums ever put to vinyl. How can so much dysfunction breed so much brilliance? Find out… NEXT on the Professor of Rock.
