Pink Floyd rose from the British psychedelic scene to global stardom, blending avant-garde experimentation with melodic songwriting on albums like Wish You Were Here and The Wall. Their legacy endures through epic live shows, concept albums, and timeless tracks such as “Comfortably Numb.”
The band’s album covers intentionally avoided photos of the group; long before merch branding was standard, Hipgnosis and Storm Thorgerson created surreal visuals (prism, floating pig, marching hammers) that became as iconic as the music.
