Formed in 1965, Pink Floyd initially earned recognition for their psychedelic or space rock music, and, as they evolved, for their progressive rock music.[1] The group have sold over 250 million albums worldwide,[2][3] including 75 million units sold in the United States.[4]
History
Pink Floyd first achieved success in the London underground music scene, when the group was led by Syd Barrett.[5] The group signed a management deal with Peter Jenner and Andrew King in October 1966, becoming Blackhill Enterprises,[6] and recorded a demo late that year in order to attract record company interest.[7] They subsequently signed with EMI Records and released their first single, "Arnold Layne" on 11 March 1967,[8] followed by the album The Piper at the Gates of Dawn in August.[9]
Barrett's behaviour eventually led him being replaced by guitarist and singer David Gilmour; he officially left on 6 April 1968 and both he and Gilmour appear on the second album, A Saucerful of Secrets.[10] The album was also the first of several released by Pink Floyd to feature distinctive cover artwork by Hipgnosis.[11] After Barrett's departure, the band released a soundtrack album (More) and subsequently Ummagumma (1969). The album was released as a double disc, the first disc containing songs performed live, the second containing new studio-recorded songs.[12] The following year's Atom Heart Mother was a collaboration with Ron Geesin featuring an orchestra and choir,[13] with Meddle following in 1971.[14]
The band achieved worldwide commercial success with The Dark Side of the Moon (1973), which has sold more than 30 million copies,[15] and been reissued as a Quadrophonic LP and 5.1 surround sound Super Audio CD.[16] It was followed by Wish You Were Here (1975), Animals (1977), and The Wall (1979); all except Animals reached number one in the US.[17] The Dark Side of the Moon is one of the best-selling albums in the world[18] and The Wall is the highest-certified multiple-disc album by the Recording Industry Association of America.[19] Pink Floyd released few singles after Barrett left the group, though "Money" was a US top 20 hit, and "Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2" was a number one hit in the UK and US.[20]
Bassist and singer Roger Waters gradually became the dominant and driving force in the band from the mid-1970s until his departure from the group in 1985, declaring Pink Floyd "a spent force".[1] Waters sued to dissolve the group's partnership and retire the name, but dropped the suit the following year.[21] The remaining members, led by Gilmour, continued recording and touring as Pink Floyd, releasing A Momentary Lapse of Reason (1987) and The Division Bell (1994).[22][23] A further album, The Endless River followed in 2014.[24]
Artwork
All Pink Floyd albums feature distinctive artwork. Most covers do not feature the band members, and many do not feature the band name or any text either.[25] Ummagumma was the last album to feature a group photograph on the front, with a breakdown of their musical equipment on the back.[12] Atom Heart Mother features a Friesian cow on the front cover, deliberately chosen as a reaction against the group's psychedelic image.[13]
The cover of The Dark Side of the Moon was designed by Hipgnosis in collaboration with graphic designer George Hardie, and features a line drawing of light being refracted in a prism. The original packaging included additional posters and stickers. It has become one of the most recognisable rock album covers.[26] The cover of Animals features an inflatable pig moored to Battersea Power Station that broke free and drifted into airspace.[27] The Wall features a minimalist design on the front cover, while the inside sleeve shows cartoons of the principal characters in the story, both created by Gerald Scarfe.[28] Hipgnosis' Storm Thorgerson returned to produce the cover for A Momentary Lapse of Reason, which featured a row of beds on Saunton Sands.[29][30] The compilation Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd features a composite piece of artwork created by Hipgnosis combining several past album covers.[31]
The CD packaging of the live album Pulse included a light emitting diode on the spine, powered by batteries. This gave a visual "pulse" when the CD was stored on a shelf, with the battery expected to last up to a year.[32]
