I think I almost certainly began listening to Pink Floyd because I made use of to chill with some dudes who smoked weed and employed to play Floyd a great deal and I discovered the music is genuinely excellent to listen to if you are stoned.

Pink floyd formed in Cambridge England in the early 1960's and were originally caled Tea Set but one evening though they were playing at a gig there was a band with the exact same name so Syd Barrett came up with the name The Pink Floyd Sound which was named immediately after two blues singers (Pink Anderson and Floyd Council). The group switched among their two names for a when until lastly Pink Floyd won more than.

Floyd were produced up originally of David Gilmour, Rick wright, Nick Mason, Syd Barrett, Roger Waters and Bob Klose.
