24 Rocking Gifts for Pink Floyd Fans
A collection of impressively cool gift ideas for Pink Floyd fans. A list of variety of gifts for those who love the legendary band.
Pink Floyd has given us some of the greatest music of the 20th century. They were the preferred band of the underground movement. I think it’s fair to say that there really hasn’t been a greater influence on psychedelic music since Pink Floyd. Their songs topped the charts for decades for a reason. They were able to give the audience what it couldn’t from anywhere else–a feeling of limitlessness in form of soothing melancholy. They also have had their share of tragedies and moments of greatness. I guess these two go hand in hand in art.
Like any good student of a craft they started with what existed. Early on their music was heavily influenced by the blues. That was the foundation they built their style on. The name “Pink Floyd” itself is a tribute to two bluesmen – Pink Anderson and Floyd Council. But as the greatest artists do, they moved on and experimented with their own unique style which they are now known for.
Following is a list of some cool gift ideas for fans of the legendary band. Pick one that you think is right for your recipient.
Pink Floyd All The Songs
A lot goes into creating a good song. It’s not just well written music and lyrics that makes a song work, it’s also what it communicates to the listener. Every great piece of art has a story which leads to its creation.
Pink Floyd - All the Songs is a book that tells you the story behind making of all the songs by the band. From the 1967 debut album The Piper at the Gates of Dawn to their greatest hits like The Dark Side of Moon.
This book will make a great gift for any curious recipient who likes to read.
Pink Floyd Guitar Pick Necklace
The Dark Side of The Moon is the most successful album by Pink Floyd. The progressive rock album topped the charts for decades and still continues to be popular among fans.
Tip
Don’t overthink your choices. As long as you keep your recipient’s general interests in mind when picking a gift and find something they can put to use, they’ll be pleased.
The graphic on the cover has an interesting story behind it too. Richard Wright asked Storm Thorgeson, the graphic designer, to create the album’s artwork and keep it simple and elegant. Throgeson delivered on what was requested from him and the result ended up becoming one of the most iconic designs.
This guitar pick necklace is a great fit for any Pink Floyd fan who has good style.

The Story of Wish You Were Here

Pink Floyd Travel Cup
I don’t know if the world is going to end because of global warming but I think we should try to do whatever we can to avoid contributing to the problem. Reusing carry bags can cups helps prevent unnecessary production of plastic.
