My Take On: Pink Floyd

Welcome to this sad excuse to end this book. Here I take my favorite bands and former favorite bands and I give my little review on them

So before we start, Pink Floyd was a British (initially starting out) psychedelic rock band formed by guitarist and singer Syd Barrett, bassist Roger Waters, keyboardist Rick Wright, and drummer Nick Mason. Under this lineup, they released one album called The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn. Eventually, Syd left the band and was replaced by guitarist David Gilmour, and this is the one that everyone remembers because this lineup released The Wall, Wish You Were Here, and The Dark Side Of The Moon. Sometimes after The Wall because I'm too lazy to look it up, the band split up

It's so secret that I love Pink Floyd. I love their psychedelic era, I love their hard rock era, I refuse to go past The Wall

If I can accurately describe Pink Floyd, it would be their psychedelic era is great to listen to while on LSD (go figure, that's what psychedelic rock is) and their later stuff makes you question your life while under the affects of LSD

So long story short, they never lost their psychedelic feel, though it was more prominent in the 60s

Let me tell you, it's very hard to determine which era of Pink Floyd I like best. Though I like more of their songs from their hard rock era, I'll always remember them as a psychedelic band. Anyway, here are my favorite songs from Pink Floyd

2. Another Brick In The Wall Pt. 1 (The Wall, 1979)

3. The Happiest Days Of Our Lives (The Wall, 1979)
