It wasn’t your typical Pink Floyd, neither falling within the prog rock era or their hard rock catalog. Nonetheless, “Wish You Were Here” was one of their best, most memorable songs - even deemed by Waters and Gilmour as being one of their finest collaborations. It’s one of my favorite Floyd songs of all time because it struck an emotional chord and went surprisingly minimal, allowing just the melody, lyrics and unforgettable guitar riff to shine.
