Pink Floyd was making music and playing sold out shows long before I was around, but I stumbled upon them at a early age of ten or eleven. I was immediately drawn to their unique sound. Like most, I started out with the basics; The Wall and Dark Side of the Moon, but then progressed to lesser known works like Piper at the Gates of Dawn, Obscured by Clouds, and Meddle. My absolute favorite album is The Division Bell. Pink Floyd are known for philosophical lyrics, sonic experimentation, innovative cover art, and elaborate live shows. One of rock music's most successful acts, the group has sold over 200 million albums worldwide including 74.5 million albums in the United States alone. One of their most successful albums, Dark Side of the Moon, spent over 14 years at the top of the album charts. The depth and intellect of Pink Floyd has certainly made them an all time favorite of mine.
