Tie Your Mother Down has shepard tones not to mention the all time best song ever Bohemian Rhapsody.

Awesome fusion of styles, great lyrics. It's a Classic.

These guys are all such amazing musicians and Shannon Hoon had such a gift for finding unique melodies and writing good lyrics. Sad story

Early Pink Floyd blows my mind. They were so far ahead of their time. I absolutely love their haunting, psychedelic music.

They are by far the most amazing band in the history of music. They are emotional, and life changing once you really listen.

Robb

A very ambiant feel, strong vocals and progressive and psychedelic rock music. Sonic experimentation and philosophical lyrics.

Pink Floyd is one of the greatest progressive classic rock bands ever. They know how to write songs and I love their sound.

Fell in love with them in 8th grade. Dark, jammy songs that beautifully encapsulate the psychadelic 60s.

The band itself isn't the most talented band. but the music is able to capture and bring more to the lyrics

Simply because there lyricism and they were just a great band.

Their music is awesome. They mix rock with a great sense of music. There's a defined melody, harmony, and more than other bands nowadays.

So much has been said and written about the Beatles, and their story is so mythic in its sweep, its hard to summarize their art.

Although a number of their songs are not incredibly unique, those that do stand out are amazing and different.

Led Zeppelin is one of the greatest bands in the history of rock. They have a way of mixing the sweetest lyrics with hard rock music.

RHCP is one of the best bands out there, they're music is funky and exciting, yet something about is always seems familiar. Best lyrics too.

They have been around for a long time, and none of their music sounds the same. They rock hard, bring plenty of funk, and are still at it.

The band that got me into music. Their music was the first to change me as an individual and make me care about who I am and how I live.

This band has some of the most motivational and deep music of its time.
