Wife rates sexy member of Pink Floyd (6)

I believe the answer is:

waters

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'pink floyd' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'wife rates sexy member' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'wife' could be 'w' (abbreviation) and 'w' is present in the answer.
an anagram of 'rates' is 'aters' which is present in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for waters that I've seen before include "Irrigates" , "Muddy - - (blues singer)" , "(Of the mouth) salivates" , "What may be taken at a spa" , "Sprinkles" .)
