Pink Floyd - "Comfortably Numb"
One way to measure the influence of a band's music is by the way it stands the test of time. By that yardstick, the music of Pink Floyd is as unique and as relevant today as it was three or four decades ago when it was created.

Pink Floyd in 2005 In July 2005, some 25 years after The Wall established its place in classic rock history, the artists who were responsible for it -- (left-to-right in the photo) guitarist/vocalist David Gilmour, composer/vocalist/bassist Roger Waters, drummer Nick Mason, keyboardist Richard "Rick" Wright -- came together one last time, at the London Live 8 benefit concert.

They closed their set that day with one of the most memorable songs from one of their most memorable albums: "Comfortably Numb" from The Wall.
