Here's some basic historical information about Pink Floyd. Named after bluesmen Pink Andersen and Floyd Council, Pink Floyd is a British rock group known for its psychedelic or space rock music during the 1960s era, and later for their progressive rock music. The group formed in London in 1965 and was initially made up of four members: (1) Robert “Syd” Barrett, lead guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter, (2) George Roger Waters, bassist and vocalist, (3) Richard William Wright, keyboardist and (4) Nicholas Berkeley Mason, percussionist. In 1968, David Jon Gilmour joined as the fifth member of the group. Later that year, Barrett left and Gilmour took over as the lead guitarist, singer and songwriter.

Pink Floyd played a big part in the British psychedelic scene and hippie counterculture. The hippies constituted the largest countercultural group in the United States in the 1960s and fought for racial equality, sexual liberation, relaxation of bans on recreational drugs, and an end to the Vietnam War.

Pink Floyd represented the middle class and their middle-class background was central to their music. According to Toby Manning, author of A Rough Guide to Pink Floyd, “Pink Floyd’s middle classness informs their music through the genteel glide that typifies their trademark sound and their glacial delivery, both of which are coolly, infinitely removed from the dirt-and-rattle, Sturm-und-Drang end of rock’n’roll" (5).
