Shameless Vintage Photos That Are Now Socially Unacceptable

Psychedelic in Pink: Pink Floyd’s Rosy 1968 Portrait

This delightfully surreal 1968 photograph captures Pink Floyd in their psychedelic prime, wrapped in a pink blanket against a matching backdrop. The iconic lineup – Nick Mason, David Gilmour, Roger Waters, and Richard Wright – demonstrates the band’s flair for visual artistry that would become as legendary as their music. Even in simple promotional shots, Pink Floyd knew how to make a statement that lingered in the imagination.

Emerging from London’s underground scene, Pink Floyd revolutionized rock with their philosophical lyrics, extended compositions, and groundbreaking live shows. Their name, coined by original frontman Syd Barrett, paid homage to blues musicians Pink Anderson and Floyd Council – a fitting tribute for a band that would blend traditional influences with radical new sounds to create something utterly unique in music history.
