Top 10 Reasons Why Pink Floyd is One of the Greatest Bands

They are a pretty unique band, along with Iron Maiden and Led Zeppelin. While I do like Pink Floyd, they are not the best band ever, as Iron Maiden and Kansas are both better.

I agree with all items! But "unique" really describes them best because this is a summary of all things taken together.

Yes of course @Metal_Treasure,they are a unique band.and their music one of a kind

Songs like Comfortably Numb have more emotional guitar solos instead of just random notes playing over and over at 3 billion rates per minute, and are actually original.

The guitar solo of Time is great. Also Comfortably Numb.

Progressive Rock is one of the best genres, and Pink Floyd have started it in 1965. Jethro Tull, Genesis, Yes, Rush, and King Crimson then followed in the late 60s. Then in 1970, Kansas was formed to prove that America also had good Progressive Rock.

I love progressive music and I'm happy it was created. Pink Floyd was a very important band at its early stages.

Yes. I've always liked David Gilmour's voice, and his guitar playing as well.

Not so great in my opinion.

Yeah he was great!

Not only their lyrics are great, but the lyrics aren't even the main focus in most of their songs, and they still made it great.

In the late 60s, they had made great songs like Interstellar Overdrive, See Emily Play, and Astronomy Domine. In the 70s, they made Echoes, Time, Shine on you Crazy Diamond, Wish You Were Here, Dogs, and Hey You, and Comfortably Numb. After that, they still made great songs such as High Hopes.

I don't think they've ever released a bad album!

Comfortably Numb was what got me into the band, but other songs such as Wish you were Here, See Emily Play, and High Hopes kept me into the band. Only one song is not going to make a band really great, meaning if Queen only wrote one song, Bohemian Rhapsody, they wouldn't be as good as they are.

The first Pink Floyd song I heard was "Shine On You Crazy Diamond". I played it many times in a row.
