OK, here goes, give me 3 of the names that Floyd used prior to adopting The Pink Floyd Sound as their band name.

This should be easy enough.

fixx obviously knows his stuff, but I have a small technical note, then you can tell me to stuff it.

Pink Floyd never decided to call themselves The Architectural Abdabs. That name was given to them in a newspaper article, reflecting the fact that they were, well, architecture students. The other four are, of course accurate.

Alan Parsons recommended Claire Torry. Apparantly she improvised the piece.
