Pink Floyd | How they rose to prominence

The great gig to the sky

Rock has become one of the successfully accepted music genres that became
prominent in the 20th century. The Pink Floyd gave Rock music a new dimension in
London in the 60's. With a fusion of guitar, bass and vocal percussion, there arose a
distinguishing music art that changed the world's orientation about instrumental
music.

This music movement started in London with the coming together of a team of
skilled instrumentalists, who were students in 1965. Syd Barrett used the guitar as
well as standing as the lead vocals. Nick Mason played on the drums, Roget Waters
specialized on bass and vocals, and Richard Wright played on the keyboard as well
as assisted with the vocals. All these individuals enjoyed unprecedented success in
the London music scenery. This made it possible for their music to go beyond the
shores of Europe into the borders of America. By the year 2013, the Pink Floyd took
the entire universe by surprise through the selling of over a 250 million copies of
their music.

Here are some of the guidelines that enhanced the successful rock music career of
Pink Floyd:

1. They started little

The earlier pioneers of this type of music, Roger Waters and Nick Mason, met at the
London Polytechnic while pursuing a degree in Architecture. Waters was known for
playing his guitar, while Mason played on his drum. Later on, Richard Wright joined
the group with the ability to play on keyboards. Their private performances and
rehearsals were held in a tea room at the basement of Regent Street Polytechnic.

2. They strengthened relationship ties

This group had other prominent individuals that later joined the band to extend its
music across Europe. A host of them include signing a business partnership with
Blackhill Enterprise. The enterprise ensured that all legal matters were handled
professionally without disrupting the activities of the singers.

3. They played psychedelic music

This type of rock music emerged in the 60's. Many fell so much in love with it
because the music had hallucinatory effect. So many individuals keyed into the
genre because the style of music had the conceptual freedom the alter the minds of
many. This effect was very close to hallucination. There were a few noticeable
effects which points the direction toward electronic guitar, studio effect and the
element of Easter music. All of these factors made it possible for the band members
possess the freedom to create a style of music that became universally accepted.

4. They signed with EMI

Most of the time, getting signed under a record label enhances the prospects of a
music career. The Pink Floyd signed with EMI, making it easy for the record label to
release some of their songs. They are 'Arnold Lyne,' on March 10, 1967, 'See Emily
Play' on June 6, same year, and a host of others.
You could also experience the unparalleled level of success which the Pink Floyd
enjoy over the last few decades. They had the freedom to explore and experiment
the technical side of music, in order to reach out to the entire universe.
