Pink floyd formed in Cambridge England within the early 1960's and had been originally caled Tea Set but one night even though they were playing at a gig there was a band with all the same name so Syd Barrett came up with the name The Pink Floyd Sound which was named just after two blues singers (Pink Anderson and Floyd Council).
