Be it the early Syd Barrett pop-psychedelic era of their debut 1967 record 'Piper At The Gates Of Dawn', or the point when everything went massive with the iconic (to say the least) 'Dark Side Of The Mood', Pink Floyd more than any other band not just progressed, but had their career divided into era after era of adventurous, downbeat, trippy epics. They united the hippies (this was ultimate stoner music) and the rock kids (because in their world guitar solos rule), and with epic releases such as 1979's double-opus 'The Wall', gave the punks something to kick against. Both the enemy and Gods, Pink Floyd: national institution.
