They Deserve More Appreciation

Pink Floyd has some of the greatest rock ‘n roll songs in existence. Their albums were innovative, ground-breaking and ahead of their time. But that’s not to say they don’t have tunes in their catalog which have been unfairly overlooked through the years. On the contrary, they have several tracks which deserve the same love and appreciation as their more popular ones.

Pink Floyd has a total of 15 albums and it goes without saying that it’s fairly easy to ignore some non-mainstream songs. So with that, here are 10 underrated tunes that should get more credit.
