Pink Floyd's music broadly falls under the rock genre. Specifically, the band was instrumental in the development of the psychedelic rock movement and the progressive rock genre.
Pink Floyd's founding members were
David Gilmour later joined the band as vocalist and guitarist. When Barrett subsequently left the group, Waters took over responsibility as the main songwriter.
While Wright and Waters left the group, leaving Mason and Gilmour to continue the band as a duo, Wright did eventually rejoin Pink Floyd and Waters joined the band in 2005 for a one-off performance.
Gilmour and Mason most recently revived the band in 2022.
Before Pink Floyd, the band had several other members and names, including Sigma 6, the Meggadeaths, Leonard's Lodgers, the Abdabs, the Screaming Abdabs, the Spectrum Five and the Tea Set.
In 1965, the band started using the name the Pink Floyd Sound. This was later changed to The Pink Floyd and later amended again to just Pink Floyd.
The name change came about suddenly, when the band realized another group with the same name of Tea Set were due to play at the same performance. Created by Barrett, the band's name was inspired by two blues musicians: Pink Anderson and Floyd Council.
Pink Floyd comes from the UK. The band was formed in the English capital of London.
Gilmour joined Pink Floyd in December 1967, replacing formative member Syd Barrett.
Waters left Pink Floyd in 1985 because of personal tensions and differences between the band members.
While many people see Waters' 1985 decision to leave the band as the time when Pink Floyd broke up, two members (Mason and Gilmour) fought to continue performing under the same name.
Waters sued the band to prevent the use of the name "Pink Floyd", but he lost the case. Gilmour and Mason subsequently recorded a further two albums as Pink Floyd before becoming inactive for a long period.
Gilmour, Mason, Waters and Wright reunited for a one-time concert in 2005. Following Barrett's and Wright's deaths in 2006 and 2008, respectively, the band released its last studio album in 2014, using previously unused material.
In 2022, Mason and Gilmour reformed to release a song protesting the war in Ukraine with Andriy Khlyvnyuk from the Ukrainian band Boombox titled “Hey Hey Rise Up” with all proceeds going to support humanitarian aid to Ukrainians affected by Russian aggression and genocide.
Despite turmoil and inactive periods, it's arguable that Pink Floyd has never officially broken up.
One of Pink Floyd's most successful albums The Wall, often considered to be one of the best rock albums of all time, was released in November 1979.
The film Pink Floyd – The Wall, which was based on the album, was released in 1982.
Pink Floyd – The Wall unfortunately isn't available on any streaming services at present. However, you can buy the DVD from several outlets.
The Dark Side of the Moon came out in March 1973.
Despite the name, the album isn't actually about the skies, space, astrology or astronomy; rather, the title references mental struggles that can lead to insanity. The band has offered several snippets of explanations about the thematic album, though it's mostly down to listener interpretation. Originally planned to show the pressures and struggles faced by musicians, the album evolved to include diverse topics, including the passing of time, death, mental challenges, war, and wealth.
Pink Floyd has had 1,149 concerts.
The last Pink Floyd concert was on May 20, 2021. The bands that performed were: Pink floyd / HIM.
The songs that Pink Floyd performs live vary, but here's the latest setlist that we have from the July 05, 2019 concert:
