An artistic bunch, Waters and Mason studied architecture at London Polytechnic in the early 60s and they met another architecture student Rick Wright later on and formed a group with him called Sigma 6. Pink Floyd were formed in 1965 by students Syd Barrett, Nick Mason, Roger Waters, and Rick Wright. If you want to dive deep into Pink Floyd’s discography, this is the blog post for you and true to Pink Floyd fashion this will be a long blog post – gotta get that target audience who love 20+ minute long songs with very long intros and multiple movements. In this blog post, we’re going to go beyond the obvious hits and popular songs played on the radio and talk about the under appreciated songs in their discography that the classic rock radio stations overlook – so get ready for a lot of Syd Barrett and some stuff from the pre-DSOTM era. Now that we’ve gone through the whole British Invasion, it’s time to move to other music scenes, psychedelia and prog rock! And what better band to start off with than Pink Floyd? They got their start in the 60s as a psychedelic band led by Syd Barrett, whose mental health caused him to leave the band and left Roger Waters and replacement David Gilmour to take over the direction of the band and evolve into a progressive/space rock sound that everyone knows and loves.
