Fri 18 April 2025 17:00, UK There are a number of songs that mean a lot to Pink Floyd and have contributed to their success. If you went around all of the Pink Floyd fans in the world and asked what they think the band’s most important track is, you would get a variety of answers; however, one of the tracks that helped make the band what it became was ‘Point Me At The Sky’.

There was genuine beauty in the songs that he wrote alongside that unrelenting skill. It was a sight to behold.
