Pink Floyd Midiband info

<p>Pink Floyd&nbsp;were an English&nbsp;rock&nbsp;band formed in London. They achieved international acclaim with their&nbsp;progressive&nbsp;and&nbsp;psychedelic&nbsp;music. Distinguished by their use of philosophical lyrics, sonic experimentation, extended compositions and elaborate&nbsp;live shows, they are one of the most&nbsp;commercially successful&nbsp;and musically influential groups in the history of popular music.</p> <p>Pink Floyd were founded in 1965 by students&nbsp;Syd Barrett,&nbsp;Nick Mason,&nbsp;Roger Waters, and&nbsp;Richard Wright. They gained popularity performing in London's underground music scene during the late 1960s, and under Barrett's leadership released two charting singles and a successful debut album,&nbsp;The Piper at the Gates of Dawn&nbsp;(1967).&nbsp;David Gilmour&nbsp;joined as a fifth member in December 1967; Barrett left the band in April 1968 due to deteriorating&nbsp;mental health&nbsp;exacerbated by drug use. Waters became the band's primary lyricist and, by the mid-1970s, their dominant songwriter, devising the&nbsp;concepts&nbsp;behind their critically and commercially successful albums&nbsp;The Dark Side of the Moon&nbsp;(1973),&nbsp;Wish You Were Here&nbsp;(1975),&nbsp;Animals&nbsp;(1977),&nbsp;The Wall&nbsp;(1979) and&nbsp;The Final Cut&nbsp;(1983).</p> <p>Wright left Pink Floyd in 1979, followed by Waters in 1985, declaring it a "spent force". Gilmour and Mason continued as Pink Floyd; Wright rejoined them as a session musician and, later, a band member. The three produced two more albums,&nbsp;A Momentary Lapse of Reason&nbsp;(1987) and&nbsp;The Division Bell&nbsp;(1994), and toured until 1994. After nearly two decades of acrimony, Pink Floyd reunited with Waters in 2005 for a performance at the global awareness event&nbsp;Live 8, but Gilmour and Waters have since stated they have no plans to reunite as a band again. Barrett died in 2006 and Wright in 2008. The final Pink Floyd studio album,&nbsp;The Endless River,recorded without Waters and based on material recorded in 1993–1994, was released in November 2014.</p> <p>Pink Floyd were inducted into the US&nbsp;Rock and Roll Hall of Fame&nbsp;in 1996, and the&nbsp;UK Music Hall of Fame&nbsp;in 2005. By 2013, the band had sold more than 250 million records worldwide, including 75 million certified units in the United States.</p> close
