If Led Zeppelin were the band most responsible for hard rock's vertical expansion in the '70s, hitting previously unforeseeable heights for the genre, Pink Floyd were the band that expanded it the most horizontally.

Obviously, they stretched out the length -- double albums, side-long jams, songs that had more movements and ideas than entire LPs by other bands. But they also broadened the music's width, with one of the most far-reaching musical palettes of any band approaching their magnitude. Starting with the Syd Barrett-stewarded kaleidoscopic psychedelia Piper at the Gates of Dawn in 1967 -- a half-century old this Saturday (Aug. 5) -- the band showed a truly staggering artistic flexibility and open-eared inventiveness, for which they remain oddly underrated in an era that increasingly views them as stodgy, cerebral rock puritans.

Wish You Were Here Album

Yes, they set the standard for college-dorm stoner rock with the prismatic prog of The Dark Side of the Moon, but in between the LP's space-rock zone-outs are a pulse-racing proto-EDM instrumental, a heart-stopping soul vocal exorcism and a couple ripping sax solos. Yes, Wish You Were Here is overwhelmed by a combined 26 minutes and nine movements of jazzy art-funking (and no shortage of fretting about The Machine), but it's also centered around the profound humanity of one of the great tear-jerking ballads in rock history. Yes, the '77 punk movement largely followed in response to the overblown pomposity of their ilk, but play Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols and Animals back to back and see which one sounds more like a bilious screed from a bunch of pissed-off Britons who don't give a f--k what their fans want to hear. And yes, The Wall was a monstrous double-LP statement of egomania from which there was no returning, but the set's rock operatics couldn't obscure the most seamless integration of disco's thump that any major rock band had yet achieved -- resulting in a Hot 100 No. 1 rock fans didn't even bother to cry 'sell out!' over.

With their debut album turning 50 this week, we've decided to count down our choices for the 50 best Pink Floyd songs -- from the proggiest to the poppiest to the most psychedelic, and the mini-masterpieces that were all three and more. Shine on, you lunatic vegetable men.

50. 'On the Run' (The Dark Side of the Moon, 1973)

A fascinatingly ahead of its time interstitial: 'On the Run' basically feels like interstellar chase music, or a decade-early soundtrack for the action scenes in TRON, or 'Flight of the Bumblebee' as imagined by Giorgio Moroder. Not much song here to speak of, exactly, but the number of doors-of-perception this must've opened for music fans in the early '70s is hard to fathom.

49. 'One of My Turns' (The Wall, 1979)

Careful with that axe, Roger! The Pink Floyd frontman's screaming-in-a-hotel-room voice would well wear out its welcome by the time he left the band a half-decade later -- if not by the end of The Wall's 81 minutes -- but the first time it tears through one of the album's more sedate-seeming tracks ('Would you like to learn to fly?/ WOULD YA LIKE TO SEE ME TRY??'), it's legitimately unnerving.

48. 'Double O Bo' (The Early Years 1965-'72, 2016)

Originally recorded in 1965 and not officially released for another half century, 'Double O Bo' saw the band tributing early hero Bo Diddley in typically perverse fashion: With a mutant Diddley groove and a narrative about Bo as a super-cool super agent who drinks himself to death. It would soon never define them again, but you wish the band coulda carried at least a crumb of this smart-alecky inside-jokiness into their brutally self-serious dominant period.

47. 'The Gunner's Dream' (The Final Cut, 1983)

Speaking of brutally self-serious -- 1983's The Final Cut required a major emotional investment in spending time in Roger Waters' headspace to make it through all 46 somber, self-indulgent minutes. Occasionally the on-record majesty approaches the drama storming in Waters' brain, though, as on 'The Gunner's Dream,' a Spectoral ballad with Springsteen-like stakes (and sax!) and a relatively poignant lyric about a gunner's peaceful fantasies ('You can relax on both sides of the tracks') in the seconds before his shot-down plane crashes to his death.

46. 'Take It Back' (The Division Bell, 1994)

In this case, 'It' appears to apply to the eternally ringing style of guitar patented by The Edge of U2, but arguably pioneered by Floyd six-string wizard David Gilmour on The Wall's 'Run Like Hell.' In any event, U2 certainly wasn't using it while in the thick of their Zooropa Eurotrash period, so good on Gilmour to reclaim it for The Division Bell's convincingly righteous lead single -- with a pretty solid Bono impression to boot, as he becomes one with the emotional elements ('All of this temptation, you know it turned my faith to lies/ Until I couldn’t see the danger or hear the rising tide').

45. 'Vegetable Man' (The Early Years, 1965-1972, 2016)

Another long-buried early Floyd treasure, though by this one Syd Barrett had self-actualized as the psychedelic cult figure who would gain an immense following at the cost of his own mind: 'Vegetable Man' is near-total delirium, a stomping, directionless garage-rock number that's half fashion satire and half lonerist cry for help, the song becoming more confused about its own identity as it goes. It's a transfixing mess, and despite going unreleased for nearly 50 years, the song developed enough of a legend through fan bootlegs to get covered by '80s underground heroes The Soft Boys and The Jesus and Mary Chain.

44. 'Nobody Home' (The Wall, 1979)

A ballad of legitimate tenderness on The Wall's third side, essentially a more unhinged version of ELO's 'Telephone Line,' as the story's rock star anti-hero goes stir crazy alone among his possessions and yearns over twinkling piano to dial up some kind of human connection. 'I've got 13 channels of s--t on the TV to choose from,' Waters-as-Pink laments, reminding you just how long ago 1979 was.

43. 'Not Now John' (The Final Cut, 1983)

Something of a 'Young Lust' retread, to be sure -- Gilmour's guitar solo even starts off identically -- but the performance is committed and gritty enough, and it's so nice to hear a voice besides Waters' on The Final Cut's back end, that Gilmour's growl 'Not Now John' is lent a disproportionate kind of energy and urgency. Definitely the best use of the F word on a Pink Floyd record, at least: 'Oi! Wheres' the f--king bar, John??'

42. 'Paintbox' (B-side, 1967)

The flip side to 'Apples and Oranges,' the band's final Barrett-written single, and almost undoubtedly the superior composition: Floyd keyboardist Rick Wright wrote and sang this one, a psych-pop nugget melodic and creative enough to have made it to The Zombies' Odessey and Oracle. 'I feel as if I'm remembering this scene before/ I open the door to an empty room, then I forget,' Wright sings, unintentionally predicting at least two of their '70s concept albums in the p
