#music, Great British Bands, Chapter 11: Pink Floyd

(EMI Records/unknown author)

Most definitely one of Britain’s powerhouse groups and the creators of iconic songs and of one of the greatest albums in rock history, Dark Side of the Moon, we have the phenomenal Pink Floyd! They were formed in London in 1965. They did space rock, psychedelic rock, symphonic rock and progressive rock. They did it all and gained quite a following… Pink Floyd has sold over 280 million albums worldwide! When they first got together, the four above, they still called themselves (1964) the Tea Set Barrett but Syd Barret, leader of the group at the time, suggested The Pink Floyd, uniting the names of two blues musicians he admired: Pink Anderson y Floyd Council. «The» was utilised until 1968, although David Gilmour continued to refer to the group as The Pink Floyd until 1984.

​But there is too much to say about one of the most influential groups in rock history, and I know you know it all anyways, so I will leave it there and let you enjoy their music…

      4. I know, but my knowledge of Floyd is limited to Dark Side of the Moon, wishing You Were Here and The Wall. Not a huge fan…
