How The Beatles influenced Pink Floyd?

the same way they influenced all bands of the 60's by being the greatest band of the 60's.

The floyd's earlier stuff sounds like it could have been influenced by the beatles, but as the Floyd sound matures there is less, and less influence of the beatles.

well i agree with you and would like to add that they influenced everyone , well jsut about , (poeple they didn't .. Eminem ,.... people of that nature i suppose)

Excuse me, but is it your suggestion that POP[ular = available to the masses] music did not exist before the advent of The Beatles, for if they influenced EVERYONE, this must be so?

Who do you think influenced The almighty Beatles?

...and how Pink Floyd influenced the Beatles?

Seriously, The Beatles did influence Floyd in their early Syd pop days, but not too much. Syd was a fan of Lennon and there's some Beatles-esque simplicity in Barrett's naiveté. No much influences in sound anyway, the Floyds had their own visual of music (Interstellar Overdrive) and soon they've gone their own way. And they admittedly loved other bands like the Stones, and other genres (blues, jazz - especially Rick).

And yes, I actually think Floyd influenced The Beatles somehow. Floyd were the pioneers of psychedelia in their Ufo days, before Piper and before their hit singles. Lennon, McCartney, Yoko Ono were often at the Ufo club and they did know the new musical phenomenon in London and we all know about their famous encounter at Abbey Road in 1967. I seriously think that Pink Floyd played a (small?) role in The Beatles psychedelic revolution.

How do you know who Eminem was influenced by? Perhaps it is your narrow-mindedness telling you that the Beatles were only responsible for influencing "great" bands or artists. But I am sure there are a lot of crap musicians that were inspired by the Beatles, and even good musicians that you don't particularly care for. Also, you mean to tell me that no good musician wasn't influenced by the Beatles. Surley there is music in the deepest parts of Africa, where the existence of the white man is unknown, that is enjoyable.

Once or twice. Really.

um i didn't say anything that should have bothered , unless you like eminem , but that shouldn't bother you either........

Yes, you did, your ignorant, arrogant attitude bothers me. I have been biting my tongue, so to speak, as you shit all over this forum with your idiotic posts, but this one takes the cake.

Thirteen or not, think before you post.

i do not see why you would get so mad , i don't know hwy you say i'm ignorant . you shouldn't get so worked up about this,... its only a post on a thread on a forum on a site..... thats all ......no need to get mad

Um, don't worry about me, I'm not worked up over you.

ok then ,..... what the problem?

Where were you last night when I needed you NNJ?
