The early psychedelic pop music of Pink Floyd was mostly written by Syd Barrett. He was in the same songwriting style of Donovan, writing songs about dreams and fantasy characters. As his mental health began to decline, other band members would bring material and develop in a collaborative fashion with the group. Early notable contributions from Richard Wright like the excellent Julia Dream are often under appreciated in the Pink Floyd catalog.

With the release of Dark Side of the Moon in 1973, their lives changed overnight with the huge success the record brought. At this point Roger Waters takes over much of the direction of the music, and writes most of the lyrics. By the time of the release of the The Wall, he had taken over all aspects of the music to the point where it was basically a solo album featuring members of Pink Floyd.
