Pink Floyd
Comment:
Sex Pistols provocateur Johnny Rotten once found it fashionable to sport a notorious, homemade “I hate Pink Floyd” t-shirt, but many are unaware that along with their other innovations, Floyd also managed to prefigure punk rock! As early as the Barrett era, they were churning out chomping, sinister-sounding rockers like “Lucifer Sam,” later covered by a raft of young post-punk bands. In retrospect, Dave Gilmour’s roaring riffs and guttural growl on 1969’s “The Nile Song” sound like a premonition of the sound The Stranglers would serve up in the ’70s. And Roger Waters’ black-humored lyrics on the fondly fatalistic “Free Four” are as merrily morbid as anything from the catalogue of the Cramps or the Misfits.
