Hmm, successful because they managed to make a lot of money (not always particularly for themselves), most likely due to a comination reasonably good promotion, dumb luck, and decent music.  They have really become a dry well lately, so to speak, yet still have something interesting for those who are discovering them in recent times.

	It has been a over a year since I have been listening to prog rock. After getting my feet wet and listening to different bands, I was wondering why Pink Floyd comes out as one of the most successful prog bands. I am sure we have all been in the situation when your naming your favorite bands and Pink Floyd is the only one anyone recognizes. I enjoy there music very much, but I favor many other bands above them, as I think we all do. I wanted to hear from other prog listeners what you guys think separates Pink Floyd from anyone else. What makes them the most popular?
