Pink Floyd were an English rock band from London. Founded in 1965, the group achieved worldwide acclaim with their innovative psychedelic music and later became known for their progressive rock sound.With philosophical lyrics, musical experimentation, and elaborate live shows, Pink Floyd remains one of the most commercially successful and influential groups in popular music history.The band consisted of David Gilmour on guitar and vocals, Richard Wright on keyboards and vocals, Nick Mason on drums and percussion, Roger Waters on bass guitar and vocals, and Syd Barrett on guitar and vocals during their early years. They were also joined by other talented musicians throughout their career.

back in stock and cheaper. 'relics' collects pink floyd's first two singles, 'arnold layne' and 'see emily play,' in addition to tracks from their early albums (1967-1969). pink floyd achieved their greatest success after their enigmatic leader, syd barrett, left the band. originally released in 1971, 'relics' documents the transition from barrett's lsd-influenced psychedelic rock to waters' manic-depressive psychedelic rock. the organ-laced 'arnold layne,' and 'see emily play' with its harpsichord break and nonsensical lyrics, are representative of the mod-pop music coming out of london circa 1967, at which barrett excelled. the instrumental 'interstellar overdrive' hints at the type of extended space-rock jams that roger waters and the rest of the band would seize upon once barrett left. keyboardist rick wright contributes two tunes, "remember a day" and "paintbox," showing that he was coming into his own as a songwriter before his creative voice was squashed by the overbearing waters. by 1971 it was clear that pink floyd was roger waters' band, with the occasional contribution by one of the other members, most notably guitarist david gilmour.
