Pink Floyd are one of the most iconic and influential rock bands in the world: their sonic ambition, lyrical dexterity and structural ability are unparalleled in rock music. Since their formation in 1965, they have released 15 studio albums and sold over 250 million records. Their eighth album, Dark Side of the Moon, is one of the highest-selling British albums in the world.

Mike Cormack takes a deep dive into the music of Pink Floyd, resulting in the first serious appraisal of the band’s immense achievements, whilst also giving an overview of the UK’s concurrent social and political history as seen through the prism of the band. In addition to a song-by-song analysis, Mike also shares exclusive band interviews, a full chronology and gig guide, and a full bootleg guide.

Everything Under the Sun is the definitive account of the career of rock’s most devastatingly emotional and articulate band.

Praise

‘A go-to reference manual for when I want to deep dive into Pink Floyd’s music, song by song. Perfect to have to hand when listening to your Floyd collection… In my 36 years of performing Pink Floyd’s music worldwide, I have noticed an unspoken mutual understanding and connection between fans. Mike is clearly one of the many and it’s obvious from reading his book that he ‘gets it’. If you love your Floyd, Everything Under The Sun is a great addition to your collection and may enhance your listening experience and pleasure.’
