This article is slanted towards a David Gilmore POV
Saying the Waters-led era didn't start until 1981 is not reality. Especially since The Wall (1979) is pretty much a Waters autobiography. By the band's own admission, Dark Side of the Moon is the last time they functioned as an actual "band". Waters era begins in 1974 when they began plain Raving and Drooling and Gotta Be Crazy as their live shows. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.32.68.168 (talk) 18:08, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
Confusing timeline
The timeline gives the impression that Gilmore, Wright, and Mason still function as a working band. Since Wright is dead, and the last few times, to my knowledge that Mason and Gilmore have played Pink Floyd songs in public, they have been with Roger Waters, this seems misleading.

I agree... as well as that, the "members" section above that shows that some members were active until 2008? No idea where 2008 comes from; it seems pretty arbitrary. The timeline and members active dates should end at 1996, to match with the "years active" section of the infobox at the top of the page.
I also agree. In a few days, I will change it to reflect inactivity beginning in 1996 unless someone has an argument against that. CCS81 (talk) 20:39, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
It doesn't seem as though anyone supports the member section and timeline chart using a different dating paradigm than the rest of the article, so I went ahead and changed it to match the dates elsewhere in article (i.e., active until 1996, plus 2005). CCS81 (talk) 22:22, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
Album genre descriptions
The attempts to attribute genres to albums Dark Side of the Moon, Animals and The Wall as "art rock", "closer to heavy metal" and "also ... heavy metal" are complete non sequiturs, appearing to have been tacked on to otherwise cohesive paragraphs.
I would like to suggest removing these three sentences, or else reworking them into a more comprehensive and integrated description of the evolution of Pink Floyd's sound from album to album. 216.183.84.162 (talk) 19:23, 28 June 2012 (UTC) MH
