We conclude this series with the group least likely to have recorded a good wedding song: Pink Floyd. This progressive rock band was known for psychedelic music, long form compositions, and concept albums. Their unique sound generated a huge following, vaulting them to ninth place on a list of the all-time top selling music artists. Here’s the complete list:
- The Beatles
- Michael Jackson
- Elvis Presley
- Elton John
- Queen
- Madonna
- Led Zeppelin
- Rihanna
- Pink Floyd
Like everyone else on this list, Pink Floyd created its own, unique sound. But sweet love songs wasn’t a part of that sound. Rather, they were known for their albums, especially “Dark Side of the Moon” and “The Wall.” Their moody, philosophical musings saturated their lyrics. It’s not for everyone, but it certainly resonated with many.
So when it comes to wedding songs, there’s really only one choice: 1971’s “Pillow of Winds (above).” Here’s a sample of the lyrics:
“A cloud of eiderdown draws around me
Softening the sound
Sleepy time when I lie with my love by my side
And she’s breathing low
And the candle dies.”
It’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but it may be yours!
But collectively, these top 9 artists have produced a treasure trove of great love songs, many ideal for weddings.
