Pink Floyd

Pink Floyd is undoubtedly one of the most unique and innovative bands in history, which is what has made them so successful over the generations. They began as a stoner metal band, helping to pioneer the original metal sound along with The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Black Sabbath, and Led Zeppelin. In the seventies they became inspired by an ambient form of psychedelic rock previously introduced by David Bowie. This innovative and creepy form of psychedelia obviously led them to immense success. Their "space rock" style was furthered in the eighties even though they were starting to wane in popularity. It is shameful they were not inducted their first year of eligibility. Their film The Wall is iconic. You can simply listen to the soundtrack and get the story.
