Pink Floyd, formed in 1965 in London, originally featured Syd Barrett, Roger Waters, Nick Mason, and Richard Wright. They gained fame with psychedelic music, notably “The Piper at the Gates of Dawn.” Barrett’s deteriorating mental health led to his departure in 1968, and Waters took creative control. The band produced iconic albums like “The Dark Side of the Moon,” “Wish You Were Here,” and “The Wall,” exploring themes of alienation and social criticism. Tensions grew between Waters and the band, leading to his exit in 1985. Despite changes, Pink Floyd’s legacy endures, influencing countless artists and genres.
