and The Piper at the Gates of Dawn. Mike Engler’s review on the first song on The Dark Side of the Moon was described as a good mood change and intensity. “The 1st song Speak to me is a cool sounding intro.

Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967). At this point, all the band members had experimented with drugs. Although for Barrett, drugs became a larger part of his life than any of the other Pink Floyd. When they last played at the UFO club in May, the band squeezed through the crowd and…

in 1984, and 1994 saw Pink Floyd’s final album. Through three decades, members came and went, styles changed, and conflicts arose- all contributing to the history of one of the most revered and inspirational rock bands in music history. At their inception, Pink Floyd was led by Syd Barrett, who was no stranger to the drug scene of the sixties.
