VINTAGE PINK FLOYD THE WALL 1991 BROCKUM ROCK CARD LOT AND 1 INCH PIN # 3
Some bands turn into shorthand for a certain sound or style,
and Pink Floyd belongs among that elite group. The very name connotes something
specific: an elastic, echoing, mind-bending sound that evokes the chasms of
space. Pink Floyd grounded that limitless sound with exacting explorations of
mundane matters of ego, mind, memory, and heart, touching upon madness,
alienation, narcissism, and society on their concept albums of the '70s. Of
these concept albums, Dark Side of the Moon resonated strongest, earning new
audiences year after year, decade after decade, and its longevity makes sense.
That 1973 album distilled the wild psychedelia of their early years -- that
brief, heady period when they were fronted by Syd Barrett -- into a slow,
sculpted, widescreen epic masterminded by Roger Waters, the bassist who was the
band's de facto leader in the '70s. Waters fueled the band's golden years,
conceiving such epics as Wish You Were Here and The Wall, but the band survived
his departure in the '80s, with guitarist David Gilmour stepping to the
forefront on A Momentary Lapse of Reason and The Division Bell. Throughout the
years, drummer Nick Mason and keyboardist Rick Wright appeared in some
capacity, and the band's sonic signature was always evident: a wide, expansive
sound that was instantly recognizable as their own, yet was adopted by all
manner of bands, from guitar-worshiping metal heads to freaky, hippie, ambient
electronic duos. Unlike almost any of their peers, Pink Floyd played to both
sides of the aisle: they were rooted in the blues but their heart belonged to the
future, a dichotomy that made them a quintessentially modern 20th century band.
