Pink Floyd’s Famous and Popular Songs (41–50)
Welcome to the MachinePink Floyd
A song by Pink Floyd, included on the album Wish You Were Here released in September 1975.
Its content is a scathing critique of the inner workings of the music industry, and its heavy sound leaves a strong impression.
The floating, atmospheric musicality woven by synthesizer effects and acoustic guitar is quintessentially theirs.
The lyrics, written by Roger Waters, depict record companies and producers exerting control over artists.
The piece can also be interpreted as a warning against a modern society dominated by commercialism.
It’s a recommended track for those feeling stressed or hoping to reclaim their true selves.

Another Brick In The Wall, Part TwoPink Floyd
Pioneers of progressive rock known for their philosophical lyrics and experimental sound, Pink Floyd formed in London, England, in 1965.
In 1967, David Gilmour joined and later took the lead of the band, replacing Syd Barrett, who had originally spearheaded the group.
They released groundbreaking masterpieces such as The Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall, achieving sales of over 250 million records worldwide.
Renowned for their live performances as well, they continue to captivate many fans with the depth of their musicianship and their powerful messages—truly legends of the rock world.
Another Brick in the Wall (Part II)Pink Floyd
The music video is notable for its strong social message.
This track is among Pink Floyd’s biggest hits of the 1980s.
They still have a devoted fan base, but their highly progressive style was not universally embraced.
However, this song is different.
It can’t exactly be called catchy, yet it was highly regarded by many.
EclipsePink Floyd
Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon is celebrated as a legendary album worldwide.
The track that closes it is Eclipse.
To understand how this song relates to the “moon,” you need to know the album’s original title: The Dark Side of the Moon—literally, “the far side of the moon.” This phrase is actually a common idiom: because the side in shadow can’t be seen from Earth, it’s often used to mean “the unknown.” And at the end of Eclipse, the lyrics say, “There is no dark side of the moon really.
Matter of fact, it’s all dark.” The album ends on that line.
What it means is up to you to interpret.
Hey Hey Rise Up (feat. Andriy Khlyvnyuk of Boombox)Pink Floyd
The charity song “Hey Hey Rise Up (feat.
Andriy Khlyvnyuk of Boombox)” was created to support the people of Ukraine during wartime.
Produced in 2022 by the English rock band Pink Floyd, it features vocals by Andriy Khlyvnyuk, a member of the Ukrainian band Boombox.
David Gilmour, Pink Floyd’s vocalist, hopes for a swift end to the war and took action to express support for Ukraine.
It is an anti-war song filled with the message: “Let’s support those suffering from the war across the world!”
Interstellar OverdrivePink Floyd
Introducing a psychedelic masterpiece by Pink Floyd, the monster band Britain proudly presents to the world.
Featured on their 1967 debut album The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, this piece is a roughly 10-minute free-form instrumental.
It’s a track that epitomizes Pink Floyd’s experimental sound and musicality, and is regarded as a work that celebrates the power of the mind.
The opening riff repeats to induce a hypnotic state, and as the piece progresses, layers of sound accumulate, creating a sense of expansion and enlightenment.
It first appeared in live performances in the fall of 1966, and in January 1967 it was performed for Granada Television’s Scene Special documentary.
Highly recommended for those who want to enjoy psychedelic music or learn about Pink Floyd’s musical roots.
San TropezPink Floyd
Dreams and hopes that slipped from my love.
Pink Floyd’s “San Tropez” is a complex song whose philosophical and cerebral lyrics allow for multiple interpretations.
Although it’s a relatively little-known tune included on the album Meddle, its introspective world is highly captivating.
