Pink Floyd, whose name derived from two blues musicians by the names of Pink Anderson and Floyd Council, formed their genre as a Progressive rock, psychedelic rock band. In 1963 while in the study of architecture, Roger Waters and Nick Mason helped to discover their new found band, Pink Floyd, later in 1965 .Their origins as an English rock band was in high success. their early rehearings took place in the basement of Regent Street Polytechnic. During this time they ran with the name, The Tea Sets. World wide they have sold over 200 million album copies. The Rock and Roll hall of fame inducted them in 1996. their most successful albums consisted of The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals and The Wall.

Pink Floyd remains an inspiration to all who aspire to become them, one of the greatest rock bands of all time. Although their music is highly unique and widely different compared to usual sound of that era, They helped the world through a looking glass of music. From Run Like Hell, to Comfortably Numb, these songs remain masterpieces throughout all of time. Pink Floyd has released 14 albums. Their music continues in popularity even today. Pink Floyd has changed their sound throughout their career. First focusing on the blues Renaissance then evolving in to a whole new sound that, like Queen, Zeppelin and the Beatles, is how one is known through history, the diversity of sound in ones music.

Pink Floyd is definitely a classic band. Are they still together, or have they broken up now?
