Pink Floyd were founded in 1965 by Syd Barrett (guitar, lead vocals), Nick Mason (drums), Roger Waters (bass guitar, vocals), and Richard Wright (keyboards, vocals). Under Barrett's leadership, they released two charting singles and the successful debut album The Piper at the Gates of Dawn (1967). Guitarist and vocalist David Gilmour joined in December 1967; Barrett left in April 1968 due to deteriorating mental health. Waters became the primary lyricist and thematic leader, devising the concepts behind the band's peak success with the albums The Dark Side of the Moon (1973), Wish You Were Here (1975), Animals (1977) and The Wall (1979). The musical film based on The Wall, Pink Floyd – The Wall (1982), won two BAFTA Awards. Pink Floyd also composed several film scores.
Following personal tensions, Wright left Pink Floyd in 1979, followed by Waters in 1985. Gilmour and Mason continued as Pink Floyd, rejoined later by Wright. They produced two more albums—A Momentary Lapse of Reason (1987) and The Division Bell (1994)—and toured in support of both before entering a long hiatus. In 2005, all but Barrett reunited for a one-off performance at the global awareness event Live 8. Barrett died in 2006, and Wright in 2008. The last Pink Floyd studio album, The Endless River (2014), was based on unreleased material from the Division Bell recording sessions. In 2022, Gilmour and Mason reformed Pink Floyd to release the song "Hey, Hey, Rise Up!" in protest of the Russo-Ukrainian War.
By 2013, Pink Floyd had sold more than 250 million records worldwide, making them one of the best-selling music artists of all time. The Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall were inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, and these albums and Wish You Were Here are among the best-selling albums of all time. Four Pink Floyd albums topped the US Billboard 200, and five topped the UK Album Chart. Pink Floyd's hit singles include "See Emily Play" (1967), "Money" (1973), "Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2" (1979), "Not Now John" (1983), "On the Turning Away" (1987) and "High Hopes" (1994). They were inducted into the US Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996 and the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2005. In 2008, Pink Floyd were awarded the Polar Music Prize in Sweden for their contribution to modern music.

Pink Floyd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, uh, me flakes, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, toast
coffee marmalade, I like marmalade, porridge any cereal
I like all cereals, oh God
Sunny side up
(Breakfast in Los Angeles, macrobiotic stuff)
Morning glory
The lyrics of Pink Floyd's song Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast describe a morning routine that includes scrambling eggs, frying bacon and sausages, and toasting bread. The singer also expresses a fondness for cereals, including porridge, and marmalade. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who is enjoying the simple pleasures of a good breakfast, perhaps signaling a break from the chaos of daily life.
The song then shifts to a description of a breakfast in Los Angeles, where the singer mentions "macrobiotic stuff." This could suggest a more health-conscious approach to breakfast or may be poking fun at the trend-conscious nature of LA culture. The final line of "Morning glory" could be interpreted as a reference to the flower or a nod to the beauty and potential of the morning itself.
Overall, Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast seems to transcend the mundane nature of breakfast and opens up a meditation on the many different ways we can find joy and meaning in our daily routines.

I LOVE your reply@@radioguy1667.
I enjoy getting replies from people who are on the same wave length or can expand on what I said.
Like what Pink Floyd intended with their music.
There's nothing wrong with fantasy or epic visions of our and other words - but, it a way it kind of disconnects with the audience (but each are special too).
I suppose Pink Floyd were the musical version of sitting down, listening to music and writing down how your felt in a journal?
(which I do every day).
Whether you're sitting in an English garden, a French flat or a African valley riding on your bike listening to Pink Floyd - it's universal language (as is music itself).
Their music is deep but always a song which every listener makes their own.
And there is no WALL between any of us with Pink Floyd.
Peace and much love,
David
