Argumentative Essay On Pink Floyd

Women should never be held back by their husbands because they are women. Charlotte Perkins Gilman is an author from Connecticut who wrote the story “The Yellow Wallpaper.” She was a utopian feminist during a time period when her accomplishments were exceptional for women. In “The Yellow Wallpaper,” the narrator (identified as Jane) suffers from depression following the birth of her baby. Her husband diagnoses her with hysteria and prescribes “the rest cure.” Trapped at home, Jane grows bored. She’s set away from everyone but her husband and nurse, and she’s not allowed to write, though this makes her feel better. Her condition quickly worsens. She starts to

In the sixties, the psychedelic music scene was at its prime and the world was full of hippie musicians that loved to drop acid and create some of the most interesting and innovative music known to man. During this time, drugs were a very popular part of the hippie culture and the prevalence of LSD helped to create the distinct genre of psychedelic music known as psychedelic or acid rock. Many bands and artists such as Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, The Beatles, and The Byrds were heavily influenced by LSD, which led to the creation of some very popular music. This decade was full of adventure, music, sex, and drugs, and it was all made possible due to this powerfully trippy drug.

At one point, country music singer Randy Travis looked like he wouldn't make it very much longer. Now it turns out that Randy is singing once again and the fans couldn't be happier to see him on the stage. Fox News shared all about how Randy surprised his fans by singing Amazing Grace at the hall of fame induction.

In 1967 the Beatles were in Abbey Road Studios putting the finishing touches on their album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. At one point Paul McCartney wandered down the corridor and heard what was then a new young band called Pink Floyd working on their hypnotic debut, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn. He listened for a moment, then came rushing back. "Hey guys," he reputedly said, "There's a new band in there and they're gonna steal our thunder." With their mix of blues, music hall influences, Lewis Carroll references, and dissonant experimentation, Pink Floyd was one of the key bands of the 1960s psychedelic revolution, a pop culture movement that emerged with American and British rock,

“The black, submissive sky recedes when the influence from the white, imperious moon disrupts the balance of candid humanity,” my brother always said.

Led Zeppelin were never afraid to try new musical directions, drawing inspiration from such styles as blues, rock, folk, country (and everything in between!) to create a unique sound that almost defies description, probably the most appropriate way to describe their vast repertoire is simply as "Led Zeppelin". During their reign they created one of the most enduring and diverse catalogues in modern music and firmly secured their status as one of the most influential groups ever (probably second only to The Beatles!).

Imagine a world where there was violence whenever you turned the corner. People swearing all over the streets, no matter who was standing next to them. A world where children grew up listening to 18+ music as they fell asleep. Soon, this will be close to what our world will be. Now, imagine a different world where there was little violence, less swearing, and a happier community. If you could choose between the two worlds, you would probably choose the second one, right? Even though the Freedom of Speech is in the First Amendment, the better option-that would be for the common good of our country is censorship. Censorship is needed in our lives because it helps prevent unneeded violence, makes better liked songs, and makes songs more appropriate

Pink Floyd and the Beatles had more in common then they’re often credited. Both bands members were raised in the United Kingdom. The original framework for “The Beatles” was conspired by the best friends, John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Likewise, “Pink Floyd” was created by best friends Nick Mason and Roger Waters. By the same token, both bands were founded while the members received their education. World War II was a pin point in each of the band members lives, if not directly affecting them, then they were affected through their parents. Ironically, the two bands were also branded for the sixties, largely the Beatles who were believed to be an instrument, attempted to be used for ending the Vietnam War. As musicians often feel pressured

Living in the United States means we have the ability and responsibility to effect change for a better society. We’re a free country with many rights to our humanity. However, there are also a lot of downsides. To live as an American, we need to accept both the good and the bad about this country. We revolted against England to be what we are now, then eventually fought ourselves over the morality of being able to own slaves, and then the World Wars happened. In between, we had our Great Depression in our economy, then World War II gave us the boost we needed in our economy. Now here we are, trillions of dollars in debt that the next generations need to pay off, a so-so education system, and an oblivious society. I don’t hate this country.

“The Great Gig in the Sky” is a metaphor for death. As one grows older there are fears of dying, but this song sings a tune of the character “not frightened of dying” (Floyd, The Great Gig in the Sky). The character has lived his unfulfilled life of stress, anxiety, and the passing of time, that now dying seems pleasant. Talking with elders, some are scared of dying because they wonder if they did have an unfulfilled life, but this character seems to accept it, and because of that he or she has no reason to be afraid, because they were well aware they let life pass by. Side B of The Dark Side of the Moon concentrates on the “roots” that cause madness, or a mediocre life.

I have something embarrassing to admit. Over the summer, I was part of a secret rebel group dedicated to overthrowing totalitarian-like moderators on an online forum dedicated to a children’s game.

Far ahead of most bands for their time, Pink Floyd is now a days, known for their psychedelic and heavily orchestrated rock and roll. Although the band has set some record sales with albums such as The Dark Side of the Moon and the The Wall; a fan could never forget their work during the 1970s with the creation of Wish you were Here. Unlike most albums by Pink Floyd where life and deep philosophical thoughts are the at the forefront of their content, “Wish You Were Here” took a newer direction and conveyed the bands ideas on the music industry as a whole. Examples of this concept can be found spread throughout the entire album; the first being found in the opening song, “Shine on you Crazy Diamond (Pts. 1-5).”

The first song in the second half “Money” shows us that our view of wealth is unhealthy and that fulfillment of wealth is actually making our own lives unfulfilled. The next song “Us and Them” shows us that conflict is generally unfounded and unfair. The line “Black and blue...And who knows which is which and who is who.” Tells the listener that there are not clear lines in conflict, things cannot be narrowed down to black and blue. This line also shows that even in the disparity which forms the foundation of our very lives, there is still a sense of unity. “Any Color you Like” follows after Us and Them, and is purely instrumental, albeit still very important to the meaning of the album. The varying pitch and instrumental use shows the varying degrees of decision within this very life. The penultimate song “Brain Damage” displays the fulfillment of insanity in both the inner and outer world through lines like “The lunatic is on the grass” and “The lunatics are in my hall.” The song also hints that the outer world’s perceived insanity becomes a part of you and that you are no longer you. The final song in the album “Eclipse” shows the all-encompassing nature of the album through the continual use of the word “all,” as in, “All that you touch, all that you see…” The final line in the album “There is no dark side of the moon really. Matter

Pink is the character of the band members and Roger Waters himself. The song starts
