Quite simply put, one of the greatest progressive rock bands of all time.
There's an ethereal cadence and glow to their music. No where will you find another band that puts so much emotion into what they do.
Pink Floyd is also one of the most versatile bands you'll ever come across. Meaning, you cannot judge how much you will like one song or album from how much you liked another song or album. There's a different "style" and approach to all the albums. Whether it be the psychedelic grooves put forth by Syd Barrett on Piper at the Gates of Dawn; or the "political punk" on Animals ala Roger Waters; or the slower, more deliberate "story" songs by David Gilmour on Momentary Lapse of Reason and Division Bell; you won't find a band anywhere that has a broader range of musical styles and multi-genre undertones.
Many of their songs were written in tribute to their recently-deceased original singer and guitarist, Syd Barrett. One entire album, in fact, was dedicated to him; this of course being Wish You Were Here. Barrett fell victim to a dangerous lifestyle, going insane and experiencing massive brain damage from the amount of drugs he did. He lived on in the band's words, and all the fans' hearts, though. This not only provided material for some of the bands greatest songs, but also gave the songs a deeper than normal meaning from the rest.
There's so much more that could be said about this amazing band; their history, their music, their incredible...incredibleness. However, I will leave it at this: Please, look past Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall. Not only do you look like a douche bag in conversation when those are the only albums you know of, but there's so much more than these two. The music is simply incredible, from Piper at the Gates of Dawn, all the way down to Division Bell (Yes, it is all amazing; pay no attention to the dumbfucks who say that the band "died" when Waters left. Some say that Momentary Lapse of Reason and Division Bell were the worst albums, but all Waters did with The Final Cut was whine about how his father was killed in the war. A lot of the songs were rejected cuts originally intended for The Wall. It's still good music, but a lot of it is half-hearted and, unfortunately, nearly meaningless.) There's not enough that can be said about them, but for the sake of not writing a novel on Urban Dictionary, I will end here. Pink Floyd, you may not be together any more, but your music lives on. Thanks, guys.
Pink Floyd > Life. Nothing else to it.

An Absolute Unit. Floyd Morrison is a Carpentry God that works within New England. The man can wipe out any Ply-Wood with one Blow of a 20oz. Estewing Hammer. Floyd also teaches Carpentry, he has Taught many people but Tommy Agnelli is one of the most interesting but that’s a story for another day. Now you may be wondering “How is this guy so great” well here is where things get better, He knows who Joe is, “Joe Who?” “JOE MAMAA!” Not only all that but he is a Certified OSHA instructor also he can look at you and you will disappear into thin air because you broke a safety violation... He’s more powerful than Thanos, Big Chungus, and Shaggy at his full power. The Man is like Thor if you took away the lightning and the Hair, but he is a God though. From personal experience I think he might be the reincarnation of Jesus Christ. Remember that if you run into this man say Hello because why not.👍
Floyd Morrison is the most Godly human being I’ve ever met and if you testify me you will be banished to the realm of forgotten freshman.
Floyd botting means fucking loud old yellow bone dicks and the botting part is obvious ain't it.
Lmao wish that guy stop Floyd botting all the time he acting up for no reason dawg

The only band I've ever heard that actually isolates me from the surroundings into the realms of another existence.

come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!"

I'm not really expecting anyone to pick this definition out of all those other ones, most of them redundant and many quite false. However, if you are reading this, you are lucky to get an acurate (at least i hope acurate) annalysis of Pink Floyd's music. Pink Floyd, with the possible exception of THE WALL is part of the ultimate aquired taste in Rock music. If you can truthfully say that you love they're music BESIDES The Wall, our hats are off to you. For all you others, don't feel bad. Pink is definately NOT for everyone. If you can't stand long, slow songs, and drawn out guitar solos, skip this band. For those of you who will listen to the music and take in the perfectly crafted words, the etherial atmosphere (present in much of there Roger Waters era music), and the beautiful vocal and instrumental harmonies, and drug-induced melodies of early Floyd, then you will be rewarded. Contrary to most bands of today, Pink Floyd creates genuinly good music. Good here does not mean music you can headbang to or even really shout along to (again, with the exception of The Wall), but beautiful, heartfelt harmonies, heartwrenching lyrics, and inspired passion. Those who appreciate musicals and classical music will also appreciate most of the later Floyd with Roger Waters.
FORWARD HE CRIED FROM THE REAR, AND THE FRONT RANK DIED! AND THE GENERAL SAT AS THE LINES ON THE MAP MOVED FROM SIDE TO SIDE.
