Pink Floyd

Pink Floyd didn't write songs; they wrote masterpieces. Listen to any of their albums, be it Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here or any other album from their catalog and you'll see what I mean. Roger Waters' epic concepts paired with Dave Gilmour's soaring guitar work set them apart from the rest.

best band ever

Anyone who doesn't think Pink Floyd should be rated higher only need to put on the Pulse double DVD set, turn out the lights and turn on the sound system. If you were never able to attend one of their concerts, this is the next best thing.

Pink Floyd is easily the best rock band of it's genre. Nothing comes close to Waters' thoughtful and often symbolic lyrics coupled with Gilmour's haunting blues guitar.

Most original band to have comercial success. Dark philosophical concepts are extremely ironic in pop culture.

Dark side of the moon, the wall - great albums.

Without a doubt the most influential and by far one of the greatest musical acts of all time. So much passion and emotion in their songs that are rarely seen in music compositions especially in this day of age. Listening to their vast works from their psychedelic epics (Let There Be More Light) to their deep and heavy philisophical peices (Money, Comfotably Numb) is like a supernatural experience that few musicians are able the garner.

I believe the P.F. wrote unsurpassed music(my favorite band)and they r unique.it's also the third greatest band of the world after the beatles and the stones.There is no way in hell that Mettalica is the best band.The only great song they released is nothing else matters(an epic ballad)!!!

Pink Floyd's music has been great from back then, to now. Each instrument plays a perfect part on the band. Each and every song on the 200 million albums sold are amazing, such thought and detail goes into them.

GREAT BAND. NUMBER 3, BUT NOT BAD

I honestly think Pink Floyd should be at number one. The combination of Waters concepts and lyrics and Gilmours guitar/vocals (as well as the fine musicianship of Rick Wright and Nick Mason)produced a force that generates Pink Floyd addicts to this very day.

I recently saw someone write "Pink Floyd has never written a bad song. There may be a weak song, or a song that requires thought to understand, but never a bad song". I agree with this 100%. This is one of the few bands that has never released a 'filler' album.

They should be number two, after the beatles only... great band

Pink Floyd is a band that wrote albums not songs, just listen to them, it one big song

No motivation required, just listen to Us And Them or Time...

The most creative and beautiful band in history. Avenged Sevenfold... funny, I didn't know they could write music...

pink floyd is amazing. they're one of those bands where they have a guitarist who plays so little, but when they play, people are amazed, david gilmour had some of the greatest guitar work ever. roger waters was talented at bass too. nick mason was amazing on drums and also wrote some songs or co-wrote them. and finally, rick wright on keyboard: rick is a good keyboardist, talented, but there's one person I can think of that is better than him: ray manzarek of the doors

Did I actually see Avenged Sevenfold rated higher than Floyd? What is happening to this world. Not even mozart and beethoven combined could've created the genius that Floyd created. Underrated band like crazy.
