As far as I've talked to people about it, the conclusion is: you are either a Waters or a Gilmour type of person. Of course,you are neither if you don't listen to Pink Floyd.
Waters type is a little crazy, not very opened, strange kind of person, and the Gilmour type is more of an chill, melancholic person...
I thought I was both types, but sooner or later you will see that, no matter how much you love both G & W, your heart made up its mind a looong time ago.
If you don't know what type you are, here's an example..:
Waters' species
-listen: Careful with that axe, Eugene
Gilmour kind
-listen: What do you want from me
and choose. And I know,in your MIND, it seems like both are. But in your heart...
Pink Floyd is the greatest band ever.

The sweetest boy you’ll ever meet, he treats his significant other with the most respect and he’s always the drippiest in the room. He always knows how to make people laugh and everyone loves him.
I wish I had a boyfriend like drew Floyd.
Everyone has heard Pink Floyd sometime, for me, it played on the radio sometimes and it was "ok" music, but not my style. It sounded to me like something my parents would love, which probably tainted my view.
Then one time I took some sugar cubes of LSD, and was sitting down listening to the most beautiful, dramatic, life-changing sound I had ever heard in my life...I didn't know if my brain was making it up to accompany my mood, or if someone was singing, or if this was the sound you hear right before you die and go to heaven. It was the most haunting, ethereal noise. My life was then changed, I contemplated every single thing about myself, my life, the person I've become, and the music made me understand all of the questions I've ever had about life. Words cannot describe the beauty of this sound. After about 3 hours of heavy contemplation I asked what sounds everyone was hearing, and I asked if we were in a movie. Some girl looked at me knowingly and said, there's Pink Floyd for you! It is an amazing, original band and all of that, but when in the right state of mind (dropping on acid) it can change your entire life.
Tulip: Do you wanna listen to some Pink Floyd?
Normal Person: Yeah, I love that band! Classic.
Person who has really EXPERIENCED the music: Oh my God, yes. By the way, you're completely awesome and have the most excellent taste in music.

One of the most kick ass bands in history. Unfortunately people often discredit them as nothing more than toker music and refuse to judge them for what they are: a great classic rock band.
nub: What are you listening to?
Seamus: Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here.
nub: Ahh toker music eh? You need to lay off the acid.

A band in the 60's and 70's that changed music forever. Most often you hear of The Wall and Dark Side of the Moon, but there is more to Pink Floyd. Such as Piper at the Gates of Dawn and Relics. Pink Floyd is a band that many get stoned to, put on side one of any of their vinyls, and just stare at walls until they fall asleep come down off their high.
Dude i put on the Pink Floyd album when I was stoned off my ass and stared at a wall for 3 hours.

A very influencial and ground breaking band, formed in the 60's. Named after two bluesmen, Pink Anderson and Floyd Council, Pink Floyd's main lineup included Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Rick Wright, and Nick Mason. Though, the original lead guitar and frontman was the genious Syd Barret, who was replaced by Gilmour around 1968, due to his excessive LSD use.
Pink Floyd was one of the first, if not the first (to do it as much as they did), band to begin to experiment with unusual/electronic sounds. This helped to give them their otherwordly sound, and gave them the label as 'Space Rock' or 'Psychadelic' music.
In 1973, two years after the release of 'Meddle' (one of their more melodic albums), 'Dark Side of the Moon' debued (which was actually performed live once, a year before) reached #1 on the charts in the USA, and remained on the charts for an astonishing 741 weeks. 'Dark Side' has sold well over 30 million albums to date.
'Wish You Were Here', the next album, was basically a tribute to the long departed Syd Barret, followed by 'Animals'. Both albums brought the ideas of social insecurites and fears, the same seen in 'Dark Side of the Moon' to a more full frontal view.
'Another Brick in the Wall' considered to be the best concept album of all time, came next, this time the album was based on the walls people build around themselves to protect them from the cruelty of society and life. There was also a movie made to illustrate the album, with no spoken dialouge, just the album playing throughout.
In the 80's, the band broke up after Water's leave (mainly due to him becomming a megalomaniac of sorts, and wanting too much control over the band. This did not sit well with David Gilmour in particular). Even without their main songwriter, they did get a top 5 album ('A Momentary Lapse of Reason')
The band has only played together with the original lineup (discounting Syd Barret) once since the break up, at the Live 8 concert in July, 2005.
Some of the major Pink Floyd hit songs include-
Time
Money
Wish You Were Here
Comfortably Numb (Which, as a side note, was NOT written about being stoned. It was about a time when Roger Waters had a sickness when he was a child, and it caused him to have the symptoms mentioned in the song.)
"And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes...
...I'll see you on the dark side of the moon." - Pink Floyd (Brain Damage - Dark Side of the Moon)
