They were kind of hit & miss at times. Early stuff sucks. 4 albums from Dark Side of the Moon to the Wall were incredible. Final Cut sucked. Then Momentary Lapse of Reason & Division Bell with just Gilmore, Waters & Mason we’re very underrated, I thought some of their best stuff.
sold their catalog for $400M. I guess they lived their lyrics "Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash"
Pink Floyd Sells Music Rights to Sony for $400 Million
Despite decades of infighting and years of false starts, the members of Pink Floyd have agreed to sell music rights to Sony Music for $400 million.
@Pink Floyd.sixpack what's your thoughts?
He always made it difficult for everyone involved. Huge part of their work earlier work, but after the Wall, there was just nowhere else to go with anything he could contribute. Best for them that they broke away from him. Even then, he was such an a**hole they couldn't let Richard Wright be an official part of the band for the 2 Gilmour albums.
Man i used to love that laser light show! Good memories. Well, not too many memories….. was a damn good time
And what’s crazy about that is that they hired Wright as a contract musician on those tours. Wright made more than the “band members” because two tours actually went in the hole due to high production costs. Narcissism was always Waters issue. Had to be the smartest one in the room. It’s bitten him in the *** quite frequently. After the split Gilmour, Mason, and Wright were still playing to sold out stadiums and arenas…..and Waters was playing 1000 seat theatres and not filling them up. Fans loved the group, not the individuals. Only late in his career did Waters start selling tickets, and did so on the backbone of the Floyd catalog.
Hit You Tube and check out David Gilmour with David Crosby and Graham Nash performing “On an Island”. Harmonies are phenomenal. Would love to know your thoughts on it. Great live performance.
FEARLESS is one of my favorite songs by anyone.

Yeah, have always liked that. Of course, any harmonies with Crosby and Nash are gonna be so tight. Gilmour is just so amazing. His phrasing is impeccable, so much control, and awesome use of the whammy bar. He's tops in my book. Comfortably Numb to me is the quintessential guitar solo work.
I think the group still holds the publishing rights. The article gives a short and broad description of the deal. Scroll to bottom of article. You will notice that Ric Ocasek (The Cars) Estate got more. His estate sold everything. This Pink Floyd deal was only for partial rights.
No thanks, don't read, get all my info from TikTok, SPS and the OT.
Have we told you about the strikes in Yemen and whether the collective bargaining agreement will be settled?
SPS is probably one of the best sites to get this kind of information. Seriously. Sad, but true.
