Pink Floyd Sampler CD from Best BuyAs Brain Damage regulars will know, often we hold a competition at the end of the year, giving away some hopefully interesting prizes. As 2011 comes to a close, we thought we'd better keep the tradition going, and hopefully provide you with a bit of fun working out the answers to our questions, some of which are quite tricky.

This year, we have the quiz-setting talents of Martin Kilbride to thank. Martin came up with the questions you'll see below, all of which are based around Pink Floyd, their music, and related stuff. We have some nice prizes on offer, for the winners:

  • Dark Side Of The Moon Experience edition
  • Wish You Were Here Experience edition
  • Limited edition Best Buy (US) exclusive "Pink Floyd Sampler" CD
  • Exclusive promo Why Pink Floyd? t-shirts (size large)

So, if you fancy any of that, make sure you enter!

Without further ado, here are the questions. The answers are all in alphabetical order, and the number of letters for the word/words we are after is shown in brackets after the clue. To be in with a chance of winning one of our great prizes, you'll need to answer as many as you can, correctly, and get them to us before the closing date - midnight GMT on January 8th, 2012. Entries need to be sent to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it and please, just one entry per household. If you have a particular prize in mind, ensure you make a note on your entry as we will try to match prizes to those who want them, as best as possible. Good luck!
