💿 Pink Floyd is an English rock band that was formed around 1964 or 65 in London, England. They are one of the first groups known for psychedelic or progressive rock, especially through their experimental composition. The original bandmembers included Roger “Syd” Barrett on guitar and lead vocals, Nick Mason on drums, Rick Wright on keyboards, and Roger Waters on bass. The early years had a rotation of various other members and names, including the name Tea Set, Eventually the band was named after two of Barrett’s favorite blues musicians, Pink Anderson and Floyd Council.
1. Read a book that takes place in England OR Read a book with the words “tea set” in the text (Give a location & partial sentence) OR Read a book with a two word title.

2. Read a book with the first letter of each title word can be found in PINK FLOYD (two word minimum) OR Read a book that was published or takes place in the 1960s.

3. Read a book that has a pink cover (show cover) OR Read a book where a character plays an instrument.

💿 In the early years, the group was a big part of the London underground music scene and were one of the first bands to include a light show for performances. They signed their first recording contract in 1967. Their first singles were “See Emily Play” and “Arnold Layne,” the latter being about cross-dressing and drawing a lot of controversy. Their first album was The Piper at the Gates of Dawn and they continued to do shows; however, Barrett had become increasing erratic. He was regularly using LSD and having breakdowns, causing the band to cancel shows and appearances. As a result, the band added David Gilmour as a fifth member, playing guitar. Barrett was relegated to solely writing songs, eventually being pushed out of the band.
4. Read a book where something is “underground” (You decide) OR Read a book that is considered controversial or has been challenged or banned OR Read a book with lights on the cover (show cover).

5. Read a book with a character that has an addiction or does drugs OR Read a book that has a character that is considered “erratic.”

6. Read a book with an author that has a first or last name with the initials P.F. OR Read a book where a character gets pushed out of something (You decide) OR Read a book with a character that is a writer.

💿 After Barrett’s departure, Pink Floyd’s remaining members, Waters, Mason, Gilmour, and Wright, headed to Abbey Road Studios to work on their next album, A Saucerful of Secrets. They also embarked on their first major tour and released the single “Point Me at the Sky,” which would be their last single until 1973. Between 1969 and 1972, they released 5 more albums including Ummagumma and Obscured by Clouds . Their next album, Dark Side of the Moon was released in March of 1973 and is one of the most commercially successful rock albums of all time.
7. Read a book that is 9 letters long OR Read a book whose title starts with the letter U OR Read a book where a character keeps a secret.

8. Read a book that has clouds or a sky on the cover (show cover) OR Read a book with the letters W, M, G, and W in the title OR Read a book where a character departs.

9. Read a book that is tagged Science Fiction OR Read a book published in March of any year OR Read a book with a 1, 9, 7, or 3 in the page count.

💿 Pink Floyd struggled with their next album as they were physically and emotionally drained from the success of Dark Side of the Moon. Their next album was Wish You Were Here, which was partially inspired by Barrett and the songs were a summary of the rise and fall of their former bandmate. The following album, Animals, was a concept album loosely based on George Orwell’s pollical fable, Animal Farm. In July of 1978, Waters presented two ideas for the next album. The first was a 90 minute demo with the working title Bricks in the Wall and the other idea would later become Water’s first solo album. The band went with the first idea, which was a story of a character transforming and growing over the course of several songs. The album, officially called The Wall, also had their first single since “Money,” which was “Another Brick in the Wall (Part II).” The album was a commercial success.
10. Read a book where a character is exhausted OR Read a book that is less than 90 pages OR Read a book where money is an important aspect of the story.

12. Read a book that is a standalone OR Read a book with a wall on the cover (show cover) OR Read a book where the main character changes and grows.

💿 The 1980s brought many changes for the band. The album, The Final Cut, was released in 1983. Following that, band members started working on independent and solo endeavors. Disagreements regarding the band led to legal issues. In the mid 2000s, Barrett and Wright passed away. Various members picked up musical projects under the name of Pink Floyd over the years, but all four members never played together after the early 1980s. Pink Floyd is considered one of the most commercially successful and influential rock bands of all time. Known for being experimental and eccentric, they have composed several film scores, won numerous awards, and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996.
13. Read a book that is also a movie OR Read a book that is the final book in a series OR Read a book where a character has a disagreement.

14. Read a book with four main characters OR Read a book that has more than 1,996 ratings.

💿 Pink Floyd is an English rock band that was formed around 1964 or 65 in London, England. They are one of the first groups known for psychedelic or progressive rock, especially through their experimental composition. The original bandmembers included Roger “Syd” Barrett on guitar and lead vocals, Nick Mason on drums, Rick Wright on keyboards, and Roger Waters on bass. The early years had a rotation of various other members and names, including the name Tea Set, Eventually the band was named after two of Barrett’s favorite blues musicians, Pink Anderson and Floyd Council.

Check & Mate by Ali Hazelwood 02.13.24

💿 In the early years, the group was a big part of the London underground music scene and were one of the first bands to include a light show for performances. They signed their first recording contract in 1967. Their first singles were “See Emily Play” and “Arnold Layne,” the latter being about cross-dressing and drawing a lot of controversy. Their first album was The Piper at the Gates of Dawn and they continued to do shows; however, Barrett had become increasing erratic. He was regularly using LSD and having breakdowns, causing the band to cancel shows and appearances. As a result, the band added David Gilmour as a fifth member, playing guitar. Barrett was relegated to solely writing songs, eventually being pushed out of the band.

💿 After Barrett’s departure, Pink Floyd’s remaining members, Waters, Mason, Gilmour, and Wright, headed to Abbey Road Studios to work on their next album, A Saucerful of Secrets. They also embarked on their first major tour and released the single “Point Me at the Sky,” which would be their last single until 1973. Between 1969 and 1972, they released 5 more albums including Ummagumma and Obscured by Clouds . Their next album, Dark Side of the Moon was released in March of 1973 and is one of the most commercially successful rock albums of all time.

9. Read a book published in March of any year
Death by a Honeybee by Abigail Keam 01.31.24

💿 Pink Floyd struggled with their next album as they were physically and emotionally drained from the success of Dark Side of the Moon. Their next album was Wish You Were Here, which was partially inspired by Barrett and the songs were a summary of the rise and fall of their former bandmate. The following album, Animals, was a concept album loosely based on George Orwell’s pollical fable, Animal Farm. In July of 1978, Waters presented two ideas for the next album. The first was a 90 minute demo with the working title Bricks in the Wall and the other idea would later become Water’s first solo album. The band went with the first idea, which was a story of a character transforming and growing over the course of several songs. The album, officially called The Wall, also had their first single since “Money,” which was “Another Brick in the Wall (Part II).” The album was a commercial success.

💿 The 1980s brought many changes for the band. The album, The Final Cut, was released in 1983. Following that, band members started working on independent and solo endeavors. Disagreements regarding the band led to legal issues. In the mid 2000s, Barrett and Wright passed away. Various members picked up musical projects under the name of Pink Floyd over the years, but all four members never played together after the early 1980s. Pink Floyd is considered one of the most commercially successful and influential rock bands of all time. Known for being experimental and eccentric, they have composed several film scores, won numerous awards, and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996.

💿 Pink Floyd is an English rock band that was formed around 1964 or 65 in London, England. They are one of the first groups known for psychedelic or progressive rock, especially through their experimental composition. The original bandmembers included Roger “Syd” Barrett on guitar and lead vocals, Nick Mason on drums, Rick Wright on keyboards, and Roger Waters on bass. The early years had a rotation of various other members and names, including the name Tea Set, Eventually the band was named after two of Barrett’s favorite blues musicians, Pink Anderson and Floyd Council.

💿 In the early years, the group was a big part of the London underground music scene and were one of the first bands to include a light show for performances. They signed their first recording contract in 1967. Their first singles were “See Emily Play” and “Arnold Layne,” the latter being about cross-dressing and drawing a lot of controversy. Their first album was The Piper at the Gates of Dawn and they continued to do shows; however, Barrett had become increasing erratic. He was regularly using LSD and having breakdowns, causing the band to cancel shows and appearances. As a result, the band added David Gilmour as a fifth member, playing guitar. Barrett was relegated to solely writing songs, eventually being pushed out of the band.

They also embarked on their first major tour and released the single “Point Me at the Sky,” which would be their last single until 1973. Between 1969 and 1972, they released 5 more albums including Ummagumma and Obscured by Clouds .

💿 Pink Floyd struggled with their next album as they were physically and emotionally drained from the success of Dark Side of the Moon. Their next album was Wish You Were Here, which was partially inspired by Barrett and the songs were a summary of the rise and fall of their former bandmate. The following album, Animals, was a concept album loosely based on George Orwell’s pollical fable, Animal Farm. In July of 1978, Waters presented two ideas for the next album. The first was a 90 minute demo with the working title Bricks in the Wall and the other idea would later become Water’s first solo album. The band went with the first idea, which was a story of a character transforming and growing over the course of several songs. The album, officially called The Wall, also had their first single since “Money,” which was “Another Brick in the Wall (Part II).” The album was a commercial success.

💿 The 1980s brought many changes for the band. The album, The Final Cut, was released in 1983. Following that, band members started working on independent and solo endeavors. Disagreements regarding the band led to legal issues. In the mid 2000s, Barrett and Wright passed away. Various members picked up musical projects under the name of Pink Floyd over the years, but all four members never played together after the early 1980s.

💿 The Wall: 11-15 tasks (15)

💿 Pink Floyd is an English rock band that was formed around 1964 or 65 in London, England. They are one of the first groups known for psychedelic or progressive rock, especially through their experimental composition. The original bandmembers included Roger “Syd” Barrett on guitar and lead vocals, Nick Mason on drums, Rick Wright on keyboards, and Roger Waters on bass. The early years had a rotation of various other members and names, including the name Tea Set, Eventually the band was named after two of Barrett’s favorite blues musicians, Pink Anderson and Floyd Council.

3. Read a book that has a pink cover (show cover)
Check & Mate by Ali Hazelwood 02.13.24

💿 In the early years, the group was a big part of the London underground music scene and were one of the first bands to include a light show for performances. They signed their first recording contract in 1967. Their first singles were “See Emily Play” and “Arnold Layne,” the latter being about cross-dressing and drawing a lot of controversy. Their first album was The Piper at the Gates of Dawn and they continued to do shows; however, Barrett had become increasing erratic. He was regularly using LSD and having breakdowns, causing the band to cancel shows and appearances. As a result, the band added David Gilmour as a fifth member, playing guitar. Barrett was relegated to solely writing songs, eventually being pushed out of the band.

💿 After Barrett’s departure, Pink Floyd’s remaining members, Waters, Mason, Gilmour, and Wright, headed to Abbey Road Studios to work on their next album, A Saucerful of Secrets. They also embarked on their first major tour and released the single “Point Me at the Sky,” which would be their last single until 1973. Between 1969 and 1972, they released 5 more albums including Ummagumma and Obscured by Clouds . Their next album, Dark Side of the Moon was released in March of 1973 and is one of the most commercially successful rock albums of all time.

Death by a Honeybee by Abigail Keam 01.31.24

💿 Pink Floyd struggled with their next album as they were physically and emotionally drained from the success of Dark Side of the Moon. Their next album was Wish You Were Here, which was partially inspired by Barrett and the songs were a summary of the rise and fall of their former bandmate. The following album, Animals, was a concept album loosely based on George Orwell’s pollical fable, Animal Farm. In July of 1978, Waters presented two ideas for the next album. The first was a 90 minute demo with the working title Bricks in the Wall and the other idea would later become Water’s first solo album. The band went with the first idea, which was a story of a character transforming and growing over the course of several songs. The album, officially called The Wall, also had their first single since “Money,” which was “Another Brick in the Wall (Part II).” The album was a commercial success.

💿 The 1980s brought many changes for the band. The album, The Final Cut, was released in 1983. Following that, band members started working on independent and solo endeavors. Disagreements regarding the band led to legal issues. In the mid 2000s, Barrett and Wright passed away. Various members picked up musical projects under the name of Pink Floyd over the years, but all four members never played together after the early 1980s. Pink Floyd is considered one of the most commercially successful and influential rock bands of all time. Known for being experimental and eccentric, they have composed several film scores, won numerous awards, and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996.
