Pink Floyd

Progressive rock
Progressive rockPsychedelic rock

Pink Floyd is a Progressive rock and Psychedelic rock act. Their sound grew out of Road Crew, Stars on 45, Snowy White, The Hooters and Roy Harper. Those roots explain a lot about how Pink Floyd arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Syd Barrett, King Crimson and Genesis, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Bryan Adams, The Edge, Steven Wilson, Nicolas Jaar and Planet Funk, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 331 connections around Pink Floyd, reaching back through Road Crew and forward to Bryan Adams. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.
