Shine On You Crazy Diamond (live version)

They're undoubtedly Top 10 all time but I think an argument can be made they're the greatest rock band of all time. Led Zeppelin of course can make the same argument. The Beatles can obviously make the same claim. The Rolling Stones to a lesser degree could as well.

Metallica deserves an honorable mention for greatest rock band as they are the greatest metal band of all time in my humble opinion. What say you?

It's really difficult to say who's the greatest IMO. But they are up there. They did some pretty amazing stuff for their time and the music is timeless.

Floyd is my personal favorite band but I would say The Rolling Stones as the best rock band, though it depends on how broad we define rock I guess.

As for the political stuff that’s Roger Waters and it’s more recent. The Pink Floyd music at their height is mostly personal, where it gets political it’s more about the UK and anti-war because Waters dad was killed in WWII.

Yes they are. And they have the best album of all time.

900 straight weeks on the charts say so

No

No one band is, they are all just a piece of a puzzle that makes a larger picture.

Or, like a brick in a wall.
