Pink Floyd‘s David Gilmour and Roger Waters are almost as famous for their feuding as they are for their music — and although they were bandmates for nearly two decades, their personality conflicts precluded true collaboration for many of those years. One notable exception: the No. 9 song on our Top 100 Classic Rock Songs list, ‘Comfortably Numb.

’

Originally released on 1979′s ‘The Wall,’ ‘Numb’ is one of only three songs on the album credited jointly to Gilmour and Waters — and it’s telling that the song had an infamously difficult birth, marked by a long-running, heated argument over how to record the verses.

Gilmour, who composed ‘Numb’ as an instrumental demo while working on his 1978 solo album, wanted the verses to have a harder sound, but he was eventually overruled by Waters, who drew his lyrical inspiration for the track from an experience he had after being shot up with painkillers prior to a Pink Floyd gig.

After Waters quit the band in the mid ’80s, Floyd went on to play ‘Numb’ the way Gilmour had always envisioned it, while Waters subjected the song to his own tinkering, employing an array of special guests (including Van Morrison, Bruce Hornsby, and Don Henley) at various live performances. But it could be said Gilmour had the last laugh, as his solo is generally considered one of the best of the rock era.

And all’s well that ends well: In 2005, when Waters, Gilmour, and their former Floyd bandmates Richard Wright and Nick Mason reunited for Live 8, they concluded their set with ‘Comfortably Numb’ — and with Wright’s untimely death in 2008, it became the final song ever to be performed by the quartet, adding a fitting, albeit terribly poignant, coda to its story.

《樂團所處年代》

Pink Floyd(平克佛洛伊德)一個起於1967年的樂團，相當於The Beatles(披頭四)晚期的樂團。雖然說是1967年，但其實這個樂團在1967年前早已成立(大約跟The Beatles同期)，但一直到1967年才正式更名為Pink Floyd，在此筆者不多做介紹。

《樂團風格》

樂團風格一般說是前衛搖滾，但在早期樂團走得比較偏向迷幻，而特別一提的是本樂團的專輯幾乎都是"概念性的專輯"，所謂概念性的專輯就是 - 一般商業化的專輯通常會有一兩首主打歌，然後其他歌曲為附屬(尤其現在的流行音樂，這些附屬通常很爛.....)，然而"概念性的專輯"則是整張專輯以同一種概念貫穿整張專輯，從第一首到最後一首，所以聽Pink Floyd專輯時常常會發現其中可能有幾首歌是連在一起的，所以聽Pink Floyd的音樂強烈建議整張一起聽，最好能配上歌詞。
