Pink and Floyd were the last names of two blues musicians that Syd was fond of. I forget the first names...

What's left and what's the score?
I think Jam has 2 (boo on Spock's Beard) and all else have one and three left?

I knew the Procol Harum. #10 was obviously a guess. And I know I've heard the story or whatever behind #9, but it's still eluding me...

It's not the Flower Kings... what song lyric would
that have been?

Your #9 answer is interesting but not it.

Novel, a film, and a recent film remake. I've not
seen the remake.
