On August 5, 1967, the first album of the famous rock band Pink Floyd "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn" was released. Pink Floyd is a legendary band with deep philosophical lyrics, incredible album covers and surreal style. These five rock musicians once turned the music world upside down. Flying pigs, mind-blowing concerts, walking hammers… And I want to listen to the famous song Another Brick in the Wall again.
