Pink Floyd. Saying THE Pink Floyd will get you beat up.
A founder member of the group Sid Barrett came made up the name 'The Pink Floyd Sound' after two blues musicians called Pink Anderson and Floyd Council, this was later shortened to 'The Pink Floyd' then to 'Pink Floyd'
music would be awesome

Which one's Pink? ;-) But seriously, if any of the band members met either one of the jazz legends that made up their namesake, they did not say so in any official capacity.
In the name Pink Floyd, the name Pink Is in the name Pink Floyd. So there you go.OR... The correct answer; From WikipediaThere is no "Pink" per se, the name Pink Floyd was created by Syd Barrett, after two Piedmont blues musicians, Pink Anderson and Floyd Council.During the album Wish You Were Here there is no 'Pink' it is just a statement which underlines the lack of understanding/knowledge held by record company staff in relation to the musicians. However 'Pink' returns in the Wall as the central character (played by Bob Geldolf), in this case (in my opinion) pink is a mix of Syd's madness and instabilities combined with the pain, hate, and loathing so well documented by Roger Waters in most of his discriptions of growing up, life, people, and power...
Roger Waters took Dave Gilmour and the rest of the band to court to try to disband the name Pink Floyd but the courts decided that he couldn't do it because Nick Mason was in the band right from the start and also Dave Gilmour from the 2nd album, as much right as Roger Waters to the name of Pink Floyd. So they never have broken up, their last album being Division Bell officially because it was live, so really it would have been Pulse
Yes, pink floyd was on the billboard from 1973 to 1988 with the whole album dark side of the moon got them up their, over 50 million copies were sold! So 24% of the united states had that album.
David replaced Syd after the Saucerful Of Secrets album was made. That's the only Pink Floyd album with the full line-up of Roger, Syd, David, Nick, and Rick.
David Gilmour is best known for playing guitar, singing and writing lyrics for the band Pink Floyd. He is also well known for his solo work while he was still with Pink Floyd up until the present time.
Officially, Pink Floyd disbanded in 1994, but the classic lineup lasted between 1968 and 1980, when keyboardist Richard Wright left and the band became almost entirely led by Roger Waters, the bassist, singer, and songwriter.
I was talking to my granddad (I'm the 4th generation of Floyd fans in the family, his father a fan too!) a few months ago and he mentioned about how him and a friend were going to go out to Egypt to see Pink Floyd play in the Valley of the Kings, however all that ever comes up when you google that is the '72 bootleg.
