Pink Floyd and the 80s Rock Scene

The scene of Rock music in the 1980s was something people remember while growing up in that decade and being exposed to the genre as a whole. There is one artist that makes a legacy in terms of the music style that is used within a given song off of an album. Pink Floyd has been recognized as one of the top Hall of Fame bands in music history to this day. The sound in the songs have a unique way of immersing the listener into a picture in his or her mind while being able to visualize a situation. If you listen to "Another Brick in The Wall" it lets you visualize a school where students are learning about subjects and at the very end you hear what would be perceived as recess for them. The band has made stops in several cities across the nation on tour including Dallas and Houston Texas debuting new releases during the hay day of the 80s and this eventuality lead to gaining success with platinum albums both on CD and vinyl format. In the early years you would find this band in the midst of it's career where the music was played often by DJs on radio stations across America during peak hours of the day while getting exposure in the music market by selling albums at local concerts across the nation.

Years progressed and we started to see this band taking on more modern and mainstream approaches in the music formula that was more accustomed to the current generation of listeners who have a preference of what the format should be. If I was around whenever the group was just getting started this band would definitely top my list for concerts to see within my lifetime. When you hear Pink Floyd play on the radio you are greeted with a sound that feels unique to the listener audience who chooses the music.
