I agree with you that the Pink Floyd's stuff before '75 was the best
but I think you were unfair when you said they became less experimental 
and more commercial after that. Think about the album "The Wall"! I've read 
this album was the biggest experiment ever made in rock music and 
I totally agreed with this opinion, although it's not the best Pink Floyd
album for me.
