"Wish You Were Here" is the ninth studio album by the British rock band Pink Floyd, released in September 1975. It was their follow-up to the highly successful "The Dark Side of the Moon" album and is often considered one of their best works.


The album was created as a tribute to the band's former member, Syd Barrett, who had left the band several years earlier due to his deteriorating mental health. The title track, "Wish You Were Here," is a tribute to Barrett and expresses the band's regret at his departure.


The album consists of five tracks, including the two-part "Shine On You Crazy Diamond," which is a tribute to Barrett and is often considered one of Pink Floyd's greatest songs. The other tracks include "Welcome to the Machine," "Have a Cigar," and "So You Think You Can Tell Heaven from Hell," all of which explore themes of alienation, fame, and the music industry.


"Wish You Were Here" was well-received by critics and was a commercial success, reaching number one on the UK album charts and the top ten in several other countries. It has since become a classic and is often cited as one of the greatest albums of all time.
