Pink Floyd

Pink Floyd was an English rock band from London. Founded in late 1965, the group achieved worldwide acclaim, initially with innovative psychedelic music, and later in a genre that came to be termed progressive rock.

Distinguished by philosophical lyrics, musical experimentation, frequent use of sound effects and elaborate live shows, Pink Floyd remains one of the most commercially successful and influential groups in the history of popular music.

Inducted into Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 1996 (Performer).
Group name was taken from both Pink Anderson and Floyd "Dipper Boy" Council as a tribute to the American blues music they loved.

Members:
David Gilmour, Nick Mason, Rado Klose, Richard Wright, Roger Waters, Syd Barrett
