Goodman Books has published “The Art of Classic Rock,” a coffee table book by Paul Grushkin and Rob Roth.

The book focuses on eight bands. The second chapter — 34 pages — is devoted to Pink Floyd.

Grushkin is a leading rock historian and author of five books. Roth is a Tony-nominated Broadway director.

The Police were second in the survey (13 percent), with Floyd tied at number three with The Smiths (11 percent).
Here’s the top 10:
