Cambridge, United Kingdom (1965 – 1994)
Pink Floyd, formed in 1965 in Cambridge, UK, is a British band noted for psychedelic rock and progressive rock music, philosophical lyrics, avant-garde compositions, sonic experimentation, innovative cover art and elaborate live shows. One of rock music’s most successful and influential acts, the group have sold an estimated 73.6 million albums in the U.S., and over 300 million albums worldwide.
Pink Floyd enjoyed modest success in the late-1960s as a psychedelic band led by Syd Barrett. Barrett’s increasingly erratic behaviour eventually caused his colleagues to replace him after The Piper at the Gates Of Dawn with guitarist David Gilmour. (Syd Barrett died on July 7, 2006 of complications arising from diabetes.) The band went on to record several elaborate concept albums; achieving worldwide success with 1973’s The Dark Side of the Moon (The second best-selling album of all time), 1975’s Wish You Were Here, 1977’s Animals, and 1979’s The Wall, among the best-selling, most critically acclaimed, and enduringly popular albums in rock music history. In 1985, singer and bassist Roger Waters declared Pink Floyd defunct. The remaining members continued recording and touring under the name, eventually reaching a settlement with Waters giving them rights to the name and most of the songs.

Yeah Floyd is the first band i obsessed with too. Sometimes its like, do I really like them anymore? And then I listen to The Wall or Dark side of the Moon or Atom Heart Mother and I realize how stupid it was to ask that.

Floyd was the first band I obsessed over. I learned how to solo on the guitar by playing along with the Wish You Were Here album, trying to play everything Gilmour plays. Shine On is perfect for that

I agree with jamierobertward - very underrated. Without doubt, the most influential band ever, not only musically, but in my opinion they gave everyone that came after the license to do whatever the fuck they liked. They destroyed all boundaries. Best band ever. Well, until Roger left anywway ;)
