He wrote everything that was really good in Floyd
Peep his solo record that came out last year
It’s the closet thing to classic Floyd to be released since their final album together
Their early psychedelic shit with syd Barrett was dope too
They have influence in a stupid amount of genres
The dark side album stayed on the billboard charts for something stupid like 27 years
I don’t know what can be more swaying than that fact

Honestly, never knew who did what since most tracks are credited to Waters/Gilmour or Gilmour/Waters. Never liked Together Water's solo stuff, but I didn't listen to his newest album (mostly because I'm not a huge fan of pink floyd to begin with so I don't need more)

For the influence, see my post about why my age does matter in perception of an act.

For billboard, that more means they had a fanbase with buying power and with a preference for buying whole albums. Dark side is an album where, depending on who you ask, about 70-100% of the tracks are good, so it makes sense it could keep on the list in the second half of the 20th century.

keep in mind they still play pink floyd songs religiously to this day on regular radio

and while that seems like an accomplishment. they still play stranglehold as well.

So we ignore led zeppelin?

Pink Floyd the GOAT.

Next week you'll have to tell us about Metallica

Beach boys best rock band ever
