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.

Alright then. Here goes.

Who recommended to Pink Floyd that Clare Torry do the vocals for The Great Gig In The Sky?
