Pink Floyd(formed 1965 in London, United Kingdom) is a Britishband noted for psychedelic rockmusic, philosophical lyrics, avant-gardecompositions, sonic experimentation, innovative cover art and elaborate live shows.

Pink Floyd enjoyed modest success in the late-19 60sas a psychedelicband led by Syd Barrett. Barrett's increasingly erratic behaviour eventually caused his colleagues to replace him after with guitarist David Gilmour. (Syd Barrett died on July 7, 2006 of complications arising from diabetes.) The band went on to record several elaborate concept albums; achieving worldwide success with 1973's (The second best-selling album of all time), 1975's , 1977's , and 1979's , among the best-selling, most critically acclaimed, and enduringly popular albums in rockmusic history.

Fearless Lyrics
Pink Floyd
You say the hills too steep to climb
Climbing.
You say youd like to see me try
Climbing.
You pick the place and Ill choose the time
And Ill climb
The hill in my own way.
Just wait a while for the right day.
And as I rise above the tree-line and the clouds
I look down, hearing the sound of the things youve said today.
Fearlessly the idiot faced the crowd
Smiling.
Merciless the magistrate turns round
Frowning.
And whos the fool who wears the crown?
No doubt,
In your own way
And every day is the right day
And as you rise above the fear-lines in his brow
You look down, hear the sound of the faces in the crowd.
