The Style and Influence of Pink Floyd


Pink Floyd had a huge impact on the world of music. They inspired many musicians and influenced many people. They are still heard of all the time today, and remain one of the most successful musical groups ever.

Pink Floyd was a very influential band in the 70s both with their music and style. Their sound was very diffrerent from a lot of music that was popular at the time. They mixed different styles of music to achieve a unique sound. They experimented with mixing rock music with classical music, and they influenced many bands. Bands such as Genisis, Yes, Nine INch Nails, and Dream Theater were all hugely impacted by Pink Floyd and their music.

Their lyrics were also very different from what had previously been very popular. They used very deep and philosophical lyrics in many of their songs, which made their music that much more influential.

On the other hand, they did have some negative influences. They added to the psychedelic drug craze that was already a major issue during these times. Syd Barrett took so many drugs that the band was forced to kick him out.

Overall, Pink Floyd was a very influential group that had a huge impact on the musical community and otherwise. Mostly, their influence was good, but there were some negatives as well.
