How Popular/famous are Floyd?

My little brother has taken the micky out of me for years for lovin' Pink Floyd.

About 5 minutes ago he came to me and said "they are quite famous on the sly arent they?".

Can anyone think of any facts, figures, stats etc to show they little techno lovin' idiot exactly how succesful they are. Thanks.

Well they don't have their names or faces scrawled on the public consciousness but they've sold tens of millions of albums worldwide. It's more about their music and the images that accompany it than the band members themselves.

I believe both Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall are on the top 25 or so of all-time album sales, at least in the United States. I would say that counts for a little something.

Six hundred texts per minute for a chance (only a chance, mind you) at a ticket to their reunion. On a Sunday. With no publicity to speak of.

Sx. Hundred. Per. Minute. I'd say a few people have heard of them.

Pink Floyd, you know....well I guess you don't. I went to high school with that guy. Real weird. Shaved his eyebrows and stuff like that.
