Pink Floyd - Discovering Music

"Any colour you like. They're all blue ..."

In a few words, Pink Floyd started as a phychedelic progressive rock band in mid 60's, but the fact that Syd Barrett had to leave combined with their escalating maturity led them to fit into the so called Art Rock. Of course, I don't care about categorisations. Pink Floyd is another entity that made music meaningful. Why? Inspired lyrics surrounded by sensational music. As simple as that. Here is a best-of biased compilation. Enjoy.

PS: To be honest, I'm disappointed from the things Pink Floyd are (NOT) representing now. Consumed and alienated. Pointing out there's no solution.

Another Brick in the Wall - How did you find out about Pink Floyd? There was this song saying 'Teacher leave them kids alone'. It meant 'system'. But everyone thought it was against schools. So, it has been incorporated.
