Pink Floyd was a British band that was active from 1965 to 1995; initially starting off as a psychedelic rock band, the group switched to experimental rock and eventually progressive rock (colloquially known as "prog rock" or simply "prog") after their first lead, Syd Barret, was forced to leave due to his deteriorating mental health. Under Roger Waters's leadership, the group gained mainstream popularity in 1973 with their album ''The Dark Side of the Moon'', and released several more successful albums before Waters himself left in 1984 due to creative differences with the rest of the band; David Gilmour would serve as the head of Pink Floyd for the next ten years before the band finally dissolved in 1995. Pink Floyd would briefly reunite twice in the years following: once for the 2005 Live 8 concert in London, and a second time in 2014 for the production and release of their final original album, ''The Endless River''. | Pink Floyd was a British band that was active from 1965 to 1995; initially starting off as a psychedelic rock band, the group switched to experimental rock and eventually progressive rock (colloquially known as "prog rock" or simply "prog") after their first lead, Syd Barret, was forced to leave due to his deteriorating mental health.

In the television story ''[[The Caretaker (TV story)|The Caretaker]]'', the [[Twelfth Doctor]] whistled Pink Floyd's "[[Another Brick in the Wall]]" at [[Coal Hill School]]. ''Caretaker'' does not identify "Wall" as a work by Pink Floyd, but contextually it is exceedingly clear that he is in fact whistling that tune. | In the television story ''[[The Caretaker (TV story)|The Caretaker]]'', the [[Twelfth Doctor]] whistled Pink Floyd's "[[Another Brick in the Wall]]" at [[Coal Hill School]].
