Pink Floyd

Pink Floyd is legendary, and phenomenally successful. They had two diamond albums. They popularized "space rock", an ambient style of psychedelic rock originally introduced by David Bowie. Their film The Wall is famous for pioneering the rock opera, a genre in which each scene coordinates with each track. This style was introduced earlier by The Who with their film Tommy. They were inducted their first year of eligibility, a painfully obvious choice. They were inducted by Billy Corgan of grunge band The Smashing Pumpkins. Their early work helped pioneer "stoner metal", a hybrid of metal and psychedelic rock. Other artists in this genre include Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, and The Jimi Hendrix Experience.
