In the third episode of this Pink Floyd season of Rock Icons, we return to the band’s career, now in, what could be classed as, their heyday of the 1970s (including Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here – a specific next episode will be dedicated to The Wall). We will tour through their key albums of this decade and chart how success effected the band.
