A very influencial and ground breaking band, formed in the 60's. Named after two bluesmen, Pink Anderson and Floyd Council, Pink Floyd's main lineup included Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Rick Wright, and Nick Mason. Though, the original lead guitar and frontman was the genious Syd Barret, who was replaced by Gilmour around 1968, due to his excessive LSD use.
Pink Floyd was one of the first, if not the first (to do it as much as they did), band to begin to experiment with unusual/electronic sounds. This helped to give them their otherwordly sound, and gave them the label as 'Space Rock' or 'Psychadelic' music.
In 1973, two years after the release of 'Meddle' (one of their more melodic albums), 'Dark Side of the Moon' debued (which was actually performed live once, a year before) reached #1 on the charts in the USA, and remained on the charts for an astonishing 741 weeks. 'Dark Side' has sold well over 30 million albums to date.
'Wish You Were Here', the next album, was basically a tribute to the long departed Syd Barret, followed by 'Animals'. Both albums brought the ideas of social insecurites and fears, the same seen in 'Dark Side of the Moon' to a more full frontal view.
'Another Brick in the Wall' considered to be the best concept album of all time, came next, this time the album was based on the walls people build around themselves to protect them from the cruelty of society and life. There was also a movie made to illustrate the album, with no spoken dialouge, just the album playing throughout.
In the 80's, the band broke up after Water's leave (mainly due to him becomming a megalomaniac of sorts, and wanting too much control over the band. This did not sit well with David Gilmour in particular). Even without their main songwriter, they did get a top 5 album ('A Momentary Lapse of Reason')
The band has only played together with the original lineup (discounting Syd Barret) once since the break up, at the Live 8 concert in July, 2005.
Some of the major Pink Floyd hit songs include-
Time
Money
Wish You Were Here
Comfortably Numb (Which, as a side note, was NOT written about being stoned. It was about a time when Roger Waters had a sickness when he was a child, and it caused him to have the symptoms mentioned in the song.)
"And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes...
...I'll see you on the dark side of the moon." - Pink Floyd (Brain Damage - Dark Side of the Moon)

That little slice of heaven between a broad's legs. Contrary to popular belief the broad does not have to have deplorable hygiene or actually stink like low tide to refer to her snatch as the stinky pink.
Nick told us he was cutting out early to get a get a little of the stinky pink.
my bitch kicked me out after I told her I needed a little stinky pink.

A band that first came to be in the late 60's, named by Syd Barrett, who was the lead singer/guitarist/song-writer. A man before his time. The other members were Roger Waters (bass), Rick Wright (keyboards/vocals) and Nick Mason (drums). Sadly, Syd had to leave the band, and he was replaced by David Gilmour (guitar/vocals).
The band are best known for the fantastic albums Dark Side Of The Moon and The Wall, but their back catalogue has albums that are just as fantastic, such as The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn, Wish You Were Here and A Saucerful Of Secrets, and that's only a few!
The band will be remembered as one of the best bands of all time, they deserve to be placed beside The Beatles, The Stones and The Who as one of the pioneers of British music and rock music as we know it.
Sadly, Syd Barrett, who left the limelight after recording two solo albums in the 70's and went back to a regular life, died in 2006, on July the 7th (my 16th birthday). Also, relationships between band members have been sour since the recording of The Wall (in which Wright was fired by Waters, who left soon after), until Live 8 in 2005, when Waters, Gilmour, Wright and Mason played together for the first time in 24 years.
Pink Floyd are usually associated with drug use, but they even stated in their interviews in Live in Pompeii that they did not want to be seen as a drug band. You don't need to get high to appreciate their music, you just need to let yourself go and listen and be taken away on a musical journey beyond your wildest dreams. Long Live the Floyd!
Guy 1: Hey, man. What you listening to?
Guy 2: Pink Floyd.
Guy 1: Aw, neat. They sung 'The Wall', right?
Guy 2: Yeah, but their earlier stuff is amazing!
Guy 1: Got any dope?
Guy 2: Don't need it, it's amazing enough without it.
Guy 1: *listens* You're right, man!

An album of an artist known as Pink Guy or Pink Omega. The album consists of 35 explicit songs which are all, excluding a few, rap songs. They are song made to be crude an very very inappropriate, which is the humor behind it
"Hey have you heard pink season yet"
"Nyeeeeeesss...."

A request made by a gentleman caller, asking his fair lady to kindly spread her labia (majora and/or menorah) thus exposing the pink fleshy portion.
Prince Willy: "My fair lady, will you kindly show the pink, thus spread your labia (majora and/or menorah) and expose the pink fleshy portion?"
Kate Middleton: "Of course, good sir."
