“The Floyd”?
Ironic that Have a Cigar was released four years before The Wall:
The band is just fantastic, that is really what I think
Oh, by the way, which one's Pink?
- kagakuninja 2y agoThe band originally was The Pink Floyd (after changing their name from The Tea Set)

- hinkley 2y agoBut never The Floyd. Just as the band isn’t named after a man called Pink.

- WolfCop 2y agoIt was named after a man called Pink. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_Anderson https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_Anderson
- hinkley 2y agoOkay. Not named after a band member named Pink. Unlike Pink, which is the stage name of the artist.
- tremon 2y agoCurveball, the band is named after a man called Pink! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_Anderson https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_Anderson and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floyd_Council https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floyd_Council
- cf100clunk 2y agoSorry, I don't see the irony. Anyway, having ''The'' as an honourific for band names was commonplace in the UK prior to the '70s, even if the band's name had not been stylized with "The".
