Bonus points if you correctly answer the question "Which one's Pink?"

Ok.... for the sake of simplicity, I'm going to assume you mean just the core band members, and not the "recruited" musicians. *grins*
1. Roger Waters (bass)
Nick Mason (drums)
Richard Wright (keyboard)
Syd Barret (guitar)
2. Roger Waters
Nick Mason
Richard Wright
Syd Barret
David Gilmour (guitar) (recruited to cover for Syd)
3. Roger Waters
Nick Mason
Richard Wright
David Gilmour
4. Roger Waters
Nick Mason
David Gilmour
(Michael Kamer and Andy Bown played keyboards)
5. David Gilmour
Nick Mason
(David won the rights to the name "Pink Floyd" in court)
6. David Gilmour
Nick Mason
Richard Wright
Bonus: 'Sfar as I know, none of the band members are "Pink". Syd named the band The Pink Floyd Sound after Pink Anderson & Floyd Council, two blues musicians. When Bob Close left the band (before "Piper at the Gates of Dawn") they changed the name to Pink Floyd.

You'll have to give me a bit to come up with a new question. I'm still happily reminiscent over this one.... I got to call an old friend for help on the timeline *grins*, and talking to him always segues into hours of convo about the past.
