Wish You Were Here Pink Floyd first banded together in 1965 with Roger Barrett as the “creative force” behind the band (Barnes). However‚ drug and alcohol abuse led to his mental breakdown.

Natasha April 18‚ 2013 “Numb” Rock/ alternative rock music usually portrays the idea of getting revenge or “getting back up.” This is a theme of being powerful‚ as shown in the song “Numb” by Linkin Park.
