Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Although I haven't finished the book yet, so far I think it's awesome, I have been a Floyd fan for as long as I can remember, but over here in Australia it can sometimes be difficult to get information and album listings, so this book will give me a leg up and hopefully I will be able to consolidate my collection and fill in any gaps I come across, and of course,just being able to follow the history of the band is a dream come true.

Pink Floyd earned recognition for their psychedelic music in the late 1960s, and as they evolved in the 1970s, for their progressive rock music. Pink Floyd's work is marked by the use of philosophical lyrics, sonic experimentation, innovative album cover art, and elaborate live shows. One of rock music's most critically acclaimed and commercially successful acts, the group have sold over 200 million albums worldwide, including 74.5 million certified units in the United States, making them one of the best-selling music artists of all time. This book gives you an in-depth look at all the intimate details about each of their albums, including a complete list of every song ever written or recorded by Pink Floyd and a thorough analysis of the meanings and circumstances surrounding the writing and recording of each song. All of the customary song specifications are included (year, recording/release dates, album names, genre, length, label, writers, producers, personnel, instruments played, etc), but the heart of the book details the band's lyrical inspirations, collaborative efforts, the actual recording session drama and what occurred behind closed doors. It delves into the effect of the politics of the day on the boys' music and lifestyle, the critical reception of the music and, most importantly, the sometimes controversial relationship between the members of Pink Floyd themselves. This is a WikiBits book - a compilation of related copyright-free Wikipedia articles and listings that have been crafted into a physical book that you can take with you.
