Pink Floyd Biography And Top 10 Songs

I believe I probably started listening to Pink Floyd because I used to chill with some dandies who smoked weed and used to play Floyd a batch and I establish the music is really good to listen to when you are stoned. Pink Floyd are a sort of psychedelic stone cross breed and their words are quite deep and philosophical.

Pink Floyd formed in Cambridge, England in the early 1960's and were originally called Tea Put but one nighttime while they were playing at a gig there was a set with the same name so Syd Barrett came up with the name The Pink Floyd Sound which was named after two blues vocalists (Pink Sherwood Anderson an Floyd Council). The grouping switched between their two name calling for a piece until finally Pink Floyd won over.

Floyd were made up originally of Saint David Gilmour, Crick wright, Dent Mason, Syd Barrett, Roger Ethel Waters and British Shilling Klose. British Shilling Klose actually left the grouping before Pink Floyd had recorded any record albums and Saint David Gilmour came in to replace Barrett after his decline. In the early old age Syd Barrett was the "leader" of the grouping and wrote most of the early songs.

The first of Pink Floyd's record record albums was The Piper At The Bill Gates Of Dawn and was released in 1967 and is considered one of the best introduction albums by any group. The record album contained many new engineerings and the usage of electronics such as as the usage of stereo system panning, electrical keyboards and repeat effects.

Pink Floyd toured with Jimi Jimi Hendrix in the early 1970's which helped them to lift in popularity and with that rise came the diminution of Syd who had been taking a batch of "psychedelic" drugs and pushed him into a mental deterioration. It was around this clip that Saint David Gilmour joined the set to take the topographic point of Syd who it is reported would just be standing still and staring into space during dry runs and some of their public presentations and it is said this is owed to his changeless pickings of LSD. Eventually the other members of the grouping slowly stopped taking Syd along to their concerts and his last public presentation was in 1968 when they played at Thomas Hastings Pier. Syd Barrett died on July 7th, 2006 after disbursement old age in seclusion.

After Syd had formally left Pink Floyd, Saint David Gilmour, Roger Ethel Waters and Crick Willard Huntington Wright started to take on the function of authorship the words and songs between them and A Saucerful Of Secrets was released in late 1968. Following this record album they started to go more than popular and were recruited to compose the music for the movie More. After this they released many additional record albums (Ummagumma, Atom Heart Mother, Meddle, Obscured By Clouds, Dark Side Of The Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals and The Wall).

In 1985 Roger Ethel Waters left Pink Floyd and started to prosecute his ain solo career. There were some dissensions over the usage of the "Pink Floyd" name when Saint David Gilmour and Dent George Mason continued to utilize the name and started recording a new record album in 1986. The dissensions were finally settled out of tribunal and the record album was released (A Fleeting Oversight Of Reason). There were respective other record albums released which were Delicate Sound Of Boom and The Division Bell.

Roger Ethel Waters finally returned to the set in 2005 when they played together again at the Greater London Live 8 concert.
