Pink Floyd

Pink Floyd were an English rock band formed in London in 1965. Gaining a following as a psychedelic pop group, they were distinguished for their extended compositions, sonic experimentation, philosophical lyrics and elaborate live shows, and became a leading band of the progressive rock genre. They are one of the most commercially successful and influential bands in popular music history.

Pink Floyd is generally considered not to be Sputcore due to their massive influence on rock and roll, celebrity status, and idolization by most music websites (not just Sputnik). Despite this, some would argue that Floyd fall under the Sputcore genre due to their massive legacy on Sputnikmusic, as well as Wish You Were Here officially being ranked as the greatest album of all time by Sputnikmusic users.

Legacy on Sputnikmusic
In 1973, Pink Floyd would publish Dark Side of the Moon, which has been critically appraised by Sputnikmusic. The album is notable for its whopping 7600 ratings, the second most of any album on Sputnik behind Metallica's Master of Puppets, and currently ranks #14 on Sputnikmusic's greatest albums of all time.

Pink Floyd's 1975 release Wish You Were Here is considered by many Sputnikmusic users to be the greatest album of all time. As of August 2020, it has a titanic 6600 ratings, and with a 4.64 average is offically ranked #1 on Sputnikmusic's greatest albums of all time.

As of August 2020, Floyd currently have 3 albums in Sputnik's Top 50 greatest albums of all time - Wish You Were Here (#1), Dark Side of the Moon (#14), and Animals (#29). The only other artist to have 3 records in the Top 50 is Ludwig van Beethoven, although Pink Floyd's achievement is more impressive due to Beethoven's records receiving significantly less reviews or ratings than the aforementioned Floyd projects.
