The Beginning

Pink Floyd began in 1963 when two of its members, Roger Waters and Nick Mason, met in school while studying architecture. Over the years they had different members come in and out of the band while they solidified their image and sound. By 1967 they grew a larger fanbase and began to attract attention from those in the music industry. Pink Floyd signed with EMI and began recording music under their release. The band’s first album released under EMI called The Piper at the Gates of Dawn spent 14 weeks on the U.K. charts at number six. Although the band seemed to be successful on the outside, behind the scenes showed trouble with their guitarist Syd Barrett. Even though he was considered a creative genius and the power behind writing most of their songs, the difficult decision came to part with Barrett. Nonetheless the band continued to pursue with the replacement of David Gilmour.
