Most definitely one of Britain’s powerhouse groups and the creators of iconic songs and of one of the greatest albums in rock history, Dark Side of the Moon, we have the phenomenal Pink Floyd! They were formed in London in 1965. They did space rock, psychedelic rock, symphonic rock and progressive rock. They did it all and gained quite a following… Pink Floyd has sold over 280 million albums worldwide! When they first got together, the four above, they still called themselves (1964) the Tea Set Barrett but Syd Barret, leader of the group at the time, suggested The Pink Floyd, uniting the names of two blues musicians he admired: Pink Anderson y Floyd Council. «The» was utilised until 1968, although David Gilmour continued to refer to the group as The Pink Floyd until 1984.

​But there is too much to say about one of the most influential groups in rock history, and I know you know it all anyways, so I will leave it there and let you enjoy their music…

    My husband loves them. I only like Another Brick in the Wall. Dark Side of the Moon rambles on and on for me so if course he has to listen to the entire extended version at volume.

    1. Hehehe… that’s ok Pat, I am sure he understands that if you listen to it again and again you will end up loving it. Let’s see what you think about the next band coming up in chapter 12.

        In the case of Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon familiarity breeds contempt which is what I feel for that song any time and every time I hear it. The only thing good about it is the pleasure of turning it off or changing the channel.

      2. My word! The first person I come across that does not like that album… hmm 🤔 ok, we all have our likes and dislikes. For example I hate AC/DC!
