Let me introduce songs by Pink Floyd, a rock band from the United Kingdom.

Pink Floyd performs in a style that blends psychedelic rock, blues, and folk, operating in a genre often referred to as progressive rock.

Their floating, atmospheric sound is particularly striking.

It’s said that the band’s formation was sparked when three of the original members, who were attending architecture school, got into a heated debate about contemporary music.

Now, please enjoy Pink Floyd’s songs with this playlist.

Above all, the latter-half guitar solo stands out.
