text: is pink floyd the best band ever?   any band that has an album on the charts for over 15 years (dark side of the moon was on billboards top 200 for 741 weeks) has got to be at the top.  my favorite album is the wall which features the david gilmour guitar solo which was rated by guitar world magazine as the 4th greatest guitar solo of all time. there ain't no doubt about it - they rock.
