Pink Floyd is considered a cultural icon of the twentieth century, gained a lot of popularity thanks to its psychedelic music that evolved over time into progressive rock and symphonic rock.
Pink Floyd had a great success on the London undreground scene in the late 60s of the last century, with Barret as the main composer, with the departure of Barret, Waters became the main writer, while Gilmour and Wright did the same with musical composition.
Pink Floyd has stood out for the high philosophical content of its songs, sonic experimentation, innovative album covers and elaborate live shows. They have sold more than 300 million albums.
