Pink Floyd

    It would be impossible to talk about psychedelic rock without mentioning this great English band.The acid trip version of the Beatles have always stayed true to their style of music and seamless flowing song tracks on their albums.Albums that are pure classic albums, you have to take the time to appreciate and listen to the whole album from start to finish. In three decades this band produced some of the greatest albums including my favorites The Wall, Dark Side of the Moon, and Wish You Were Here.
   Some interesting things to point out about these albums are that Dark Side of The Moon syncs up with the Wizard of Oz (this is because I've tried it many times) and Wish You Were Here was partial tribute to former Floyd member Syd Barrett after his decline from mental illness due to long term acid use.
  Overall I give this band 5 stars for their incredible sounding instrumentals along with creative and deep lyrics.No other band I've heard in my life did what this band has done with a synthesizer and great guitar playing to created their own outer world sound.Even vocals on songs like Money and Comfortably Numb struck deep at the imagery and thinking of its listeners  My favorite vocals on a song however is The Great Gig in The Sky because all the singing has zero words but the lack of words allows the listener to fill that in with their own personal feelings.
To conclude this band portrays all the aspects of not only a great psychedelic rock band but a band in general.
