The Greatest Band (or Brand?) in the World
Pink Floyd have had three completely different singer/songwriter leaders, and still kept their fans, becoming a worldwide phenomenon.
Coca Cola is often regarded as an extremely powerful brand, yet when they changed the formula to their drink, the public reacted against this and they swiftly reverted back to the original recipe.
Pink Floyd however have had three different musical incarnations and despite this actually became more and more popular. Does this make Pink Floyd a more powerful brand than Coca Cola? Certainly the groups fans seem to be more loyal than Coca Cola’s customers.
1) Syd Barrett’s Pink Floyd (1965 – 1968)
Syd Barrett: ‘Astronomy Domine’
2) Roger Water’s Pink Floyd (1969 – 1985)
Roger Waters: ‘Another Brick in the Wall’ (Part 2)
3) David Gilmour’s Pink Floyd (1986 – 1996)
David Gilmour: (with Stephen Hawking) ‘Keep Talking’.
Three different musical styles, but one huge loyal fan-base, makes Pink Floyd – The most Powerful Brand in the World.
Hello,
Not sure that this is true:), but thanks for a post.
Definitely just a matter of opinion, but I wanted to post some Pink Floyd videos!

Thanks for reminding me Mandy. I have finally found out how to get rid of those pesky arrows - and it's really easy!
Shall describe how on another post. (Here it is):< How to Delete Annoying Arrows on Blog Links.>JohnPink Floyd is really a phenomena of the last 40 years. His music is smth unpredictable and perfect. gilmour’s solos are the best solos i have ever heard.
Hard to argue with this Serge, although Gilmour plays his guitar a little TOO perfectly for me! (I prefer a sound with a bit more 'edge'). You're right about Pink Floyd though.
