1. Pink Floyd
   Pink Floyd is the premier space rock band. Since the mid-'60s, their music relentlessly tinkered with electronics and all manner of special effects to push pop formats to their outer limits. At the same time they wrestled with lyrical themes and concepts of such massive scale that their music has taken on almost classical, operatic quality, in both sound and words. Despite their astral image, the group was brought down to earth in the 1980s by decidedly mundane power struggles over leadership and, ultimately, ownership of the band's very name. After that time, they were little more than a dinosaur act, capable of filling stadiums and topping the charts, but offering little more than a spectacular recreation of their most successful formulas. Their latter-day staleness cannot disguise the fact that, for the first decade or so of their existence, they were one of the most innovative groups around, in concert and (especially) in the studio.
2. Pink Floyd -- Albums
   Pink Floyd celebrated the 25th anniversary of their album Wish You Were Here with a big marketing campaign launched January 9th 2001.

6. Pink Floyd -- Roger Waters
   Pink Floyd is een Engelse rockband die vroege erkenning kreeg voor hun psychedelische rockmuziek. Ze evolueerden zich tot pioniers van de progressieve rock en symfonische muziek. Pink Floyd is bekend door de filosofische songteksten, klassieke rockcomposities, experimenten met geluid, vernieuwende hoesontwerpen en grootse live-concerten. Als een van de meest succesvolle en invloedrijke bands in de rockmuziek hebben ze wereldwijd meer dan 250 miljoen albums verkocht.[1][2][3] Syd Barrett, Roger Waters en het latere lid David Gilmour kenden elkaar van school in Cambridge, terwijl de overige leden Mason en Wright samen met Roger Waters architectuur studeerden aan het Polytechnic Institute in Regent Street in London.
7. Pink Floyd -- Syd Barrett
   The Associated Press reports that Syd Barrett, co-founder and one-time front-man of seminal rock band Pink Floyd, has passed away at the age of 60, presumably due to diabetes-related complications. Plagued by mental illness most of his adult life, Barrett left the band in 1968 after exhibiting increasingly erratic behavior on tour. However, he continued to work sporadically on his own solo projects with various members of the band, and they remained emotionally close to Barrett. The 1975 Pink Floyd hit single, "Shine On You Crazy Diamond," was written about Syd.
8. Pink Floyd -- Dark Side
   Pink Floyd were smart with this album. Given the overwhelming success of its predecessor, they could easily have tried to create “Dark side of the moon, 2”. Instead they chose to move on, while simultaneously reverting to a more progressive approach.
9. Jackie Cochran -- Floyd Odlum
   Cochran assured readers of her autobiography she and Earhart were not competitors. Earhart flew for distance; Cochran was after speed, but she later did pursue distance and altitude. Earhart shared in Cochran's interest in parapsychology, first sparked by Odlum. Cochran and Earhart used what they considered extra-sensory powers to locate the crash sites of downed aircraft. Earhart's husband, George Putnam, was skeptical and someone Cochran considered less than a friend. "I didn't like that man at all."
10. Lee Trevino -- El Paso
    In 1966, Trevino took a job as a clubhouse attendant at an El Paso country club, where he continued hustling. He beat Raymond Floyd, a future PGA Tour star, two rounds out of three, leaving Floyd to mutter, "Here I am playing a cart man, a bag-storage man, and I can't beat him."
