-===== Headline =====
+===== Wizard Of Oz =====
 Dark Side of the Moon is claimed to precisely match with The Wizard of Oz, leading to conspiracy claims that the band wrote it specifically for that purpose. To put an end to the rumors, Nick Mason stated that they had planned to soundtrack The Sound of Music instead.

+===== Animals =====
+One of Pink Floyd's most memorable covers is from their 10th studio album, 'Animals', which features Battersea Power Station with a flying pig in the distance. Both the porcine balloon and the title were inspired by George Orwell's Animal Farm, which influenced much of the lyrical substance.

+===== Lawsuit =====
+In the mid-1980s, Waters took the other Pink Floyd members to court in the hopes of preventing them from using the name any longer.

+===== Richard Wright =====
+Richard Wright was fired from the band during the 'The Wall' sessions for failing to pull his weight. He rejoined Pink Floyd for their 1987 Gilmour-led 'A Momentary Lapse of Reason' album, but was not reinstated as a full member until the group performed 'The Division Bell' in 1994.

+===== Roger Waters Antisemitism =====
+In December 2013, Roger Waters sparked an international uproar and was accused of antisemitism by comparing current Israelis to Nazis. In a magazine interview, he remarked of Palestinian "oppression," "the parallels with what happened on in Germany in the 1930s are so crushingly evident".[([[https://www.theguardian.com/music/2013/dec/14/pink-floyd-frontman-fury-israel-nazis|The Guardian]])]
+===== Live8 =====
+Waters joined Mason, Gilmour, and Wright in 2005 for their first (and final) gig together since Earl's Court in 1981. The special occasion was Live8, an event organized by – who else? – Bob Geldof to put pressure on G8 leaders and Make Poverty History.[([[https://culture.fandom.com/wiki/Live_8|Culture]])]
+===== Nick Mason's Singing =====
+Pink Floyd's band members routinely multitasked on their albums, however drummer Nick Mason only ever delivered vocals to one song in their whole catalog. "One of These Days" was the title of the song.[([[https://theeliteextremophile.com/2021/03/01/deep-dive-pink-floyd/|The Elite Extremophile]])]
+===== Visual Effects =====

+===== Abbey Road Studios =====
+Pink Floyd was stationed at Abbey Road Studios in 1967 to record their debut album, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn. The Beatles were recording Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band in the building next door at the same time. It's safe to say it was a fantastic year for music.

+===== Stanley Kubrick =====
+Around the time of Pink Floyd's 1970 album Atom Heart Mother's release, famed director Stanley Kubrick approached the band and asked for permission to utilize a portion of the album's 23-minute-long title track for the soundtrack of his film A Clockwork Orange. However, because he was unsure about which pieces would be used and what would be done with them, Pink Floyd declined permission.[([[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066921/trivia|IMDB]])]
+===== Pompei =====
+Pink Floyd is well-known for creating live music CDs. In the instance of one 1972 live album, however, it was recorded in an amphitheater in the ancient city of Pompei. They performed without a live audience to hear them. [([[https://www.pinkfloyd.com/news/|Pink Floyd]])]
