Who Is Pink Floyd?

Pink Floyd first formed in the late 1960s as the psychedelic music scene was exploding and as the 1970s got under way the band evolved into progressive music. What started as Syd Barret's band, was taken over by Roger Waters by the mid 1970s and after his departure in 1984 David Gilmour took command.
