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

Shine On You Crazy Diamond is a song dedicated to former Pink Floyd frontman Syd Barrett whose declining mental health forced him to leave the band in its early stages.

I don't think anyone can answer that except for maybe his sister. Honestly, it's really best not to worry about it. Syd was a good soul, and in such cases some things are better left unanswered.

If you start "Dark Side of the Moon" on the 3rd lions roar in the beginning (MGM logo) of the movie, and smoke enough dope, you'll be amazed at how the music seems to go along with the movie. Try it, it's true.

Of course, if you smoke enough dope and listen to Meddle and stare at a wall, you'll be equally amazed!

1967. Thier first album was The Pipers at the Gates of Dawn. Actually, according to numerous sources, The first performances of the band Pink Floyd (The Pink Floyd Sound) were in 1965. All the original members (Syd Barrett, Roger Waters, Rick Wright, and Nick Mason) were in the band at that time. Thier first album, as mentioned above, was in 1967

No, Roger left albums ago and rick right recently passed, R.I.P.

Yes and no!! New album due out October 2014 but of stuff done about the time of Division Bell with Richard wright. But maybe a new album (please) could be made with David Gilmour and Nick Mason. Roger waters still active so never say never.

The symbols of the banners in The Wall is a face screaming. On other banners, there are RED hammers lined up in rows faceing each other.

Lady gaga because Pink is fat and lady gaga is in shape!!!:)

The Dark Side of the Moon. This album charted for 741 weeks (14 years).

In the early years, Syd Barrett, but when he left the band, the vocals where taken over by David Gilmour, from Barrett's departure to Wish You Where Here. The albums, Animals, The Wall and The Final Cut were dominated by Roger Waters's singing. Rick Wright, the keyboardist, also sang some songs through the band's carreer, and was the main singer of the album A Saucerful Of Secrets. Nick Mason, the drummer, sang on two songs, Corporal Clegg and One Of These Days.

Syd Barrett did acid and it basically destroyed him,

Roger Waters denys drug use saying "If you mean Pink Floyd took drugs - you're wrong. There is no way that I could play music and take any kind of drug at the same time." he used LSD a few times and vowed never to use it again after having a near death expiriance when he stepped into traffic and almost getting hit by an oncoming car.

try doing a Google search im not sure about the other members that's all i know about pink floyds drug use.

Richard Wright was a cocaine addict in the seventies, it's one of the reasons he got fired from the band.

In the US it was "Money" which went to number 13 in May 1973

Richard William Wright b.1943 played the keyboards for Pink Floyd for every album except for much of 'The Wall' due do his firing from the band by Roger Waters during the recording of the album. He was also absent for Waters last Pink Floyd album 'The Final Cut'. Wright, along with David Gilmour and Nick Mason reunited as Pink Floyd in 1987. Rick Wright succumbed to cancer on September 15,2008.

Pink Floyd is best known for their bestselling album "The Dark Side of the Moon" which was released in 1973. This album includes the tracks "Time", "Us and Them" and "Money", etc. that remain popular to this day.

The Beatles won Best New Artist in 1964 and Best Performance by a Vocal Group for A Hard Day's Night in the same year.

In 1967 they won Best Contemporary Single (for Sgt Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band - which, ironically, was not released as a single in the UK).

The Beatles also won Album of the Year in 1967; they were the first rock band to even be nominated for that award and remained the only rock band nominated until 1970.

Ironically, the Beatles "best" year for the Grammys was 1996 when they won three: Best Music Video, Long Form - for The Beatles Anthology, Best Music Video, Short Form - for Free as a Bird and Best Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal (again for Free as a Bird).

Answer Music is the best thing in the world and nothing will ever compare to the things that music does to ones soul!!! NEVER!!

I think classical is great for growth, but hard core rock brutally kills them.

Research has shown that if you compare a musician's brain to that of an average person, you will see many physical differences. However, if you compare a mathematician's brain to that of an average person you will see little differences. This is not to suggest that the musician's brain is a "better" brain, it just points out that music causes change in more parts of the brain. Read "Music Ophelia" by Oliver Sacks

Effects of music on individuals can be numerous. Each person understands a song or classical piece differently, if even ever so slightly. You may be thinking that no has ever experienced love as you have, and so no one has been treated badly in a relationship like you have. Music first draws you into listening like you never would have normally. Conversations about love are mundane sometimes. But music may touch you in a way you that you like. Now, when you hear someone sing about the way he was left for someone else, you really hear them! The message may go on to say how this individual is going to deal with this person who was so careless with their trust. Then you realize that is the same thing you wanted to do; move on and never look back. Now you feel whole because you can relate to someone else with the same events in their life. Now you start looking for more songs that bring out more of your personality.

"Did u ever notice that your mood is different when you listen to different music? basically music affects your mood. also classical music has been found to make young toddlers actually smarter.

also kids who participate in some sort of musical class have been found to do better on SATS and PSSAs. music seriously is good for you!!!!!!!! and the great thing is music likes can be changed as u grow to fit ur styles. u can always change wat u like"

Answer

Whenever you watch a movie theres always music in the background.......Now think about the scene your watching and try to think about why the person chose that song.....Its to make you feel it its to give you an emotion and that's what music does in general when some people are hurting they might play a sad song or a happy song to cheer them up. Its all about emotions and connections

Answer - In addition to the psychological effects music can have it can also play a big part in physiological changes. Listening to fast music can speed your heart rate up, therefore, listening to slow/relaxing music can have a calming effect by slowing the heart rate and breathing down. It has been shown to provide pain relief, aid migraines and even boost your immunity. So, music isn't just good for the soul, but also fantastic for the body and your overall health.

The Rolling Stones. They've been around at least 15 years longer than U2, and still are the world's all-time most successful rock band!

The cover art on Meddle is supposed to be a visualization of sound under water, "an ear underwater" according to Nick Mason. A band associate originally wanted a close up photo of a baboon's anus, but the members rejected it.

The members of Pink Floyd include Syd Barrett, Roger Waters, Richard Wright, and Nick Mason. They were the original members. Later on around 1968 - 1969, David Gilmour joined the group as Barretts behaviour had become erratic. Eventually, Gilmour would replace Barrett altogether.
