Brain Damage was a song performed by the progressive rock band, Pink Floyd. The song was released in 1973 as a single on The Dark Side of the Moon album. This album spent 364 weeks on the United Kingdom charts and was a global sensation. The band was formed in London in 1965 and developed a following as part of the British psychedelic scene. Later, the group would be better described as an innovator of space rock with their use of distorted guitar sounds and synthesizers.
