If you had a successful TV show, people wanted to see you live. Promoters had had practice with pop groups, and ‘Python‘ achieved a similar status. We also had lots of rock star fans – George Harrison, Pink Floyd, Robert Plant. Promoters saw that and liked it.

Michael Palin

When punk came along, I found my generation‘s music. I grew up listening to the Beatles and the Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd, ’cause that was what got played in the house. But when I first saw the Stranglers, I thought, ‘This is it.’

Robert Smith

The expectation on me as a solo artist is very different to the audience‘s expectation of a Pink Floyd show.

David Gilmour

In the end, my children put me on to Pink Floyd when they were teenagers.

Tom Stoppard

I got my influences from ’70s bands – Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, blah blah blah. When I was growing up, we had all these crazy bands on the Top 40. Today, if Pink Floyd released ‘Money,’ it wouldn’t even get played.

Al Jourgensen

I’ve always employed a melodic style with my leads, placing strong emphasis on infusing romantic sensibilities into what I’m trying to say. Those big, epic melodies come from influences like Pink Floyd, Journey, Marillion… bands that have these guitar parts that are just soaring!

John Petrucci

Where I lived, on Long Island, you had the radio stations that always played Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath and AC/DC and all that. I grew up on all that stuff.

John Petrucci

I guess I’ve never been introduced properly to Pink Floyd. I know they’re great, don’t get me wrong. Excellent, excellent musicians; great band; awesome harmony; great song writers; I just don’t know anything besides, I guess, the popular songs on the radio.

Phil Anselmo

On the musical side, I always wanted to kind of carry on Pink Floyd’s sound. You know, Pink Floyd always had such an original, creative and masterful sound, but there are no new albums. My thought was that there’s a way to keep their sound alive.

Corey Feldman

As teenagers, we used to listen to entire Rush albums, entire Pink Floyd albums and shut down the lights and it was great.

Anupam Roy

‘Shine On You Crazy Diamond‘ and ‘Wish You Were Here’ are standout tracks. ‘Comfortably Numb‘ is another one. ‘High Hopes‘ from ‘The Division Bell‘ is one of my favorite all-time Pink Floyd tracks. ‘The Great Gig in the Sky,’ ‘Echoes,’ there’s lot of them.

David Gilmour

You’d have to be daft as a brush to say you didn’t like Pink Floyd.

John Lydon

There are so many ingredients that are contained in ‘The Wall‘ that were not necessarily contained in other Pink Floyd records, particularly following on from ‘Animals,’ which was very spare and sparse. Production on it was much more massive, the complexity of the recording was much more intense.

Nick Mason

The reason I got into music was obviously because of bands like The Beatles and Pink Floyd, things like that.

I have two sons, and at 16, they were into Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, David Bowie, and a lot of British rock.

I take inspiration from so many places. I think, more than anything, it would have to be the music made by others that I’ve then fallen in love with, whether it’s Madonna, Blood Orange, Fleetwood Mac, or Pink Floyd!

Shura

Shavo Odadjian

As everyone else, I was a fan of Pink Floyd in the sixties.

Klaus Schulze

The Weezer ‘Blue‘ Album is a classic. I think My Morning Jacket‘s ‘Circuital’ is a great album to have. Any Led Zeppelin album. Pink Floyd ‘The Dark Side Of The Moon‘ or ‘Animals.’ I always catch myself at concerts being like, ‘Oh, I just stared at the drummer for 15 straight minutes.’ I study them.
