Pink Floyd For many people, the group Pink Floyd is considered as un-popular, aged, and without any sense in today's modern society. It's so unfortunate that true rock and roll music is being left behind for the new head-splitting garbage that infests the airwaves today. The newest generation is unaware of the history behind all the "music" they listen to now. Where did it all begin? Who first wandered into the realms of psychedelic music to create a style and a culture that would last for decades

Pink Floyd and the Beatles had more in common then they’re often credited. Both bands members were raised in the United Kingdom. The original framework for “The Beatles” was conspired by the best friends, John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Likewise, “Pink Floyd” was created by best friends Nick Mason and Roger Waters.

Even modern ideas can relate to ideas from the past. Pink Floyd and Thoreau have many things in common even though they are hundreds of years apart think about it.

difficult for someone of the western world to have never seen any of Storm’s work. Like most, my introduction to his work was through the well-oiled, finely tuned mammoth of machine called Pink Floyd; an amazing band (I might add) who grew up with Storm. Nearly all the artwork published under the guise of Floyd is thanks to Storm and his colleagues at Hipgnosis and Storm Studios. You could say Storm caught a few breaks in his career. He was lucky enough to know one of the most famous rock acts

There are many ways to interpret “The Wall” by Pink Floyd. I have never listened to this artist before and these songs are not my type of music. However, while listening to the different songs listed, the one that stood out to me the most was Outside the Wall. As a student at NIU, I truly do feel that NIU has robbed me as an individual by making me brick in the wall, but I would rather be Outside the Wall. There are countless guidelines and requirements that are strongly holding me back from breaking
theme in a range of texts and the messages received through these texts regarding loneliness relate to a greater society and our world today. The texts I've decided to explore are Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, 127 hours directed by Danny Boyle, Pink Floyd - The Wall directed by Alan Parker and Lord of the Flies by William Golding.

An Analysis of songs from Pink Floyd’s “The Wall” Pink Floyd’s “The Wall” is one of the most interesting and imaginative albums in the rock genre. It is considered a masterpiece to many, but there is so much more hidden beneath it all. Even though the music is incredible, the lyrics tell us a sad story about loss and isolation.
