      Not quite 50 for me. I discovered them in 1976, when I was 13. In the first class of the year our 3rd form music teacher simply played Dark Side of the Moon on his kick-ass Nakamichi system. While I"m here, a couple of comments for OP: "they look like a couple of dads". Well, yeah, this is 1994, two of the band members (drummer Nick Mason and main keyboardist Richard Wright (nearer the front) were in the band since 1965, lead singer/guitarist David Gilmour joined in January 1968. See them (and former founding member Roger Waters) in their 20s here: th-cam.com/video/MKVH9WvTPxA/w-d-xo.html

    You don't listen to a Pink Floyd song, you experience a Pink Floyd album. And being at a concert is an out of this world experience.

I stood not 5 feet from Sir David. They played Set the Controls.... and I was hooked for life. Saw them 1 other time in Seattle while in the Navy. It was a small 2500 seat auditorium.

    The Floyd achieved full rock stardom, to the level of stadium filled gigs all over the world, but they were never known to publicly indulge in the classic rockstar shenanigans. It was always and mostly about the music, and thats one more reason to love and respect them so much.

    Pink Floyd is an ESSENTIAL part of music history. They started in the mid-60s but reached their peak from the mid-70s to early 80s. Their two biggest albums, The Dark Side of the Moon (1973), and The Wall (1979) are worth listening to in their entirety, (go do it, do it now, do it now, do it now, lol). They made a (very, very weird) movie in 1982 based on their album, The Wall, which tells the story of a man having a psychotic breakdown reliving his childhood traumas (of which factors this song in heavily). Nobody sounds like Pink Floyd, and much of their music is experimental and ethereal, and many of their songs are longer than average with large instrumentals and solos in them.
    There is also a very strange coincidence that if you take the movie, The Wizard of Oz (1939), and you take Pink Floyd's album, The Dark Side of the Moon, and you press play on the album on loop after the third roar of the MGM lion in the opening of the movie, the songs PERFECTLY narrate and describe what is going on (even after it loops around). The band has debunked the rumor that it was on purpose and is in fact, just a very, very, very odd coincidence, but it is still nonetheless a very cool and trippy thing to do. Me and my buddies did that in college in the 90s and it's really weird and fun.
    Other songs by them to check out include "Mother", "Another Brick in the Wall", "Time", "Money", and "I wish you were here"
    Cheers

When I first took the time to listen to their music and lyrics, I was hooked.

Ironically, lead singer and guitarist, David Gilmour, was not an original member, but joined in 1968 replacing founding guitarist, singer and songwriter Syd Barrett who suffered a life altering psychological breakdown and could no longer perform.

Listen to the whole album, at one go, It's only 43 minutes and 9 seconds long, and it WILL change your life, like it did for me back in 1973 when it came out. The songs are designed to go from one to the next, and if you JUST listen to "TIme", the context will be lost.

Especially when you're reacting to and posting multiple reactions on your channel from hundreds of suggestions. "Time" is one of the most played Floyd songs on classic rock stations around the world. It gives a very good sampling of what he's in for should he decide to explore them deeper.

    This is one of the first bands of what we now call prog rock. Progressive rock is a UK thing and it is just more intricate musical production and usually longer songs. This all started because when the band started out they didn't have a big back log of original songs, so to take up time on live sets they would just use more instrumentation and visuals for the audience. Other notable bands of that period were Genisis and Yes.

    A Pink Floyd song is not about «melody» or rimes. It's about emotions.
    The big disco ball is highly symbolic.
    First of all, it wasn't seen until the lights spotted it. It was simply not there! Hidden in a box in the ceilling. So when it got lit, you can understand why the audience went wild.
    And then, when it opened up and showed the shining diamond that's inside, a direct reference to "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" (which refer to Syd Barrett), the fans understood!
    Genius!

    Started early 1960's. Front man was Syd Barrett, who flipped out in the early 1970's... and led to a lot of rather mournful works from Dark Side of the Moon, and especially Wish You Were Here. Dark Side of the Moon was in the top 100 selling albums for a very long time. This show came off the "Pulse" tour DVD. If you like Gilmour's spectacular guitar work, try "One of These Days". It's an incredibly powerful piece. For a commentary on people, check out the "Animals" album. I like the album "Division Bell" too. The stuff from the 60s is a little too 60's acid for my taste.
