[Closed] what's your favorite pink floyd album?

I prefer mumford and sons

Echoes. It's all good though .

wish you were here, but I'm not a massive fan tbh

EDIT: although I love the live at Pompeii film

I like The Division Bell.

Easily Darkside. The high point of music making. Still fresh and amazing 40 years later. Any long car journey starts with it.
In one of the radio Caroline books one of the DJs recounts how there was a massive barney going on onboard the ship. So he stuck Darkside on and everyone just got over the argument and chilled out.

Definitely DSOTM for me. Just perfection

Piper

Depends upon the depth of coma I'm trying to achieve. 😀

Dark side of the moon, listening to it while in a college hostel, TIME came on loud bells ringing, one of the lads pannicked and thought the place was on fire and ran out screaming FIRE, FIRE, as he thought it was the fire alarm going off.

WYWH for me too

Echoes - bit of everything. Although I too am partial to Mumford and Sons.

DSOTM, WYWH, and Echoes, in that order.

Wish you were here for The song

Album alone it would have to be Wish You Were Here, an 11th birthday present from my sister, so on emotional tie in it's that one. Dark Side of the Moon has one of my favourite tracks, Time, and so has Animals, with Dogs, but the ultimate has just got to be Comfortably Numb, the live version on Pulse.

WYWH - incidentally, the first music I ever remember hearing.

Dark Side probably, but most of my formative years were spent watching the Delicate Sound of Thunder video through a haze of smoke so that's the one for me. Saw them at Earls Court on the Pulse tour, best I've ever been to.

Dark side, I really like meddle too, with echoes on it, you can hear the birth of dark side in that track.

Wish you were here, by small margin.

Pure genius.

Wish You Were Here for me too

The Wall 😀

Just to point out Echoes is a track, albeit a complete side, from the album Meddle.

I am struggling to choose a favourite album, though if I were going to put one on right now I'd probably go for Animals. I haven't listened to that for a while .

It would be wywh for me too, I like animals too though

A Momentary Lapse of Reason for me - one of the few albums where I like every track rather than just a couple.

Division Bell for me cos I saw them do it at Earls Court in 1994, don't have a particular fave (other) album as I like various tracks from all of them!

Animals.

Dark side of the moon on acid, mind blowing.

Delicate Sound of Thunder here too..

Had Shine on you crazy diamond playing al te way through the service at the crem after the clock beat my Dad.

Spooky - I was just about to put a momentary lapse of reason too - I also really like the division bell as well.
Pulse and delicate sound of thunder are cracking live albums too.

Anyone remember the very lovely Atom Heart Mother.

Just to point out Echoes is a track, albeit a complete side, from the album Meddle.

Meddle is quite good apart from that rip off song about his dog.

what I said, they're referring to a best of...

I see... Compilations not permitted in this context IMO !

I'm amazed a votes for Animals. i don't remember it but I remember not being impressed. I thought even Roger waters wasn't keen. As for the pre wall stuff like PATGOD. No I wouldn't put that on now

At varioous times its The wall, DSOFTM or WYWH

despite my negative comments they are my all time favoutite band

Tried to explain them to my son. He says thats its all clever marketing. But he can play Wish You were Here on the guitar really well. I can't strum a note.....

The Wall. I watched the VHS endlessly. Twisted stuff!

WYWH - for a few reasons tied up with my childhood

I recently took possession of my step-father's vinyl copy - the one I listened to as a kid, both from the vinyl and via a copy I made on a C60

listening to it again is so comforting - i think I know all the crackles. My CD copy just wasn't the same

Obscured By Clouds and The Wall. But most have songs I like on them probably why I like the Pulse album with the added bounus I saw Division Bell live.

Another vote for Obscured By Clouds here. Meddle also deserves a mention.

Dark Side OF THE MOON
I got it for my 13th birthday in May 1973
I didn't really understand it at the time and neither did my folks, but love it to this day.

Dark side of the moon, but I do have an unopened, still in black shrink wrap copy of Wish you were here.

The Wall, by far.

Followed by Wish You Were Here & Animals.

DSOTM leaves me cold - none of the depth of The Wall, none of the tunes of WYWH.

Probably another WYWH vote here. I really like the final cut, but when you think about it the other "big hitters" tend to edge in front.

P. S. Also saw the division bell in '94, Roger Waters play all of dsom, and the new Roger Waters tour at the O2 on the night Dave Gilmour rocked up to join in with comfortably numb last year (tear in eye moment).

Meddle probably edges Dark Side for me but the live recording side of Ummagumma is up there too. The rest of that album is pap though.

Not heard a shout out for "Momentry lapse of reason", must be just me then.

Album has to be Wish You Were Here. Individual track I would say High Hopes.

Delicate sound of Thunder.

Dark side of the moon for me... Always made me feel weird and amazing all at once! Bloody brill!

Animals. Needs to be listened to in it's entirety, no "singles". Brilliant. Just flows....

I can see my day in the office tomorrow being a bit Floyd.

Just to point out Echoes is a track, albeit a complete side, from the album Meddle.

It's also a pretty amazing compilation album too. But then I expect you knew that. 8)

Everything up to Wish You Were Her. It's all bobbins after.

Ummagumma was pretty good

Not heard a shout out for "Momentry lapse of reason", must be just me then.

Too late chap as it had been mentioned once before. I really like it, but I find Dogs of War a bit pants to be honest.

If forced to choose one then it would be Division Bell.

Have currently got 'Sorrow' from Momentary Lapse of Reason on repeat, turned up loud & it is awesome.

I am not a Pink Floyd fan, and have none of their albums, however currently listening to Orb's Metallic Spheres Featuring David Gilmour.

Gilmour's a brilliant guitarist. He doesn't even look like he's trying either.

Wish You Were Here.
Animals.
Call me a weirdo, but I never really liked Dark Side.
The Wall was the soundtrack to my student years. Loved it. The film was one of my faves and I saw it at a midnight screening once. Awesome on the big screen. The actor who play's Pink's father lives 50yds from me coincidentally.

Listened to A Momentary Lapse Of Reason for the first time in years just the other week. Forgot how good it was. Flawed, but not bad. Not bad at all.

Also listened to the Final Cut for the first time in years just the other week, too. A more bleak, self-indulgent album you'd be hard-pressed to find.

Delicate sound of thunder for me too, nice mix of good tracks, the comfortably numb solo is better than on Pulse too.

David Gilmour live in gdansk is also good

Dark Side of the Moon followed very closely by The Wall

Ha! All you prog rock miserablists - none of the above (with the possible exception of Ummagumma). It has to be Piper at the Gates of Dawn. Pure psychedelic brilliance combined with English whimsy. Syd in full flight before he became the effervescing elephant. Without Syd Barrett PF became ponderous humourless beasties - sort of in character for Waters and Gilmour.

I interviewed the Floyd circa 1971 for my college paper - not very nice. Arrogant, sneering, bored. Now the Incredible String Band, on the other hand.......

Meddle, I just did not get Pink Flyod till I listened to Echoes in full as part of a surf documetry (crystal waves I think) amazing underwater photography.

Echoes. It's all good though .

DSOTM/ WYWH - hard to make a call between the two. Thing is, among Floyd fans, what's the next album to go to? The Wall is a bit more... bombastic... and I've not really got enough into many others to really know.

the dark side, but spoilt for choice if your in the mood really

If I said I bought Relics for 50p would it date me?

Documentry I was talking about

Meddle, I just did not get Pink Flyod till I listened to Echoes in full as part of a surf documetry (crystal waves I think) amazing underwater photography.

For me it has to be:
- The Division Bell
- Momentry Lapse of Reason
- Wish you were Here
- Dark Side of the Moon
- Obscured by Clouds
- The Wall

Those first four were very hard to put in a set order for me, my favourite changes with my mood. Not only are all of these albums the best ever written (for me anyway) but all have great memories associated with them. For example, a few summers back in the sun driving down Langdale valley in the Lake District with Dad in his Z4 with the roof down and the Division Bell on full volume.

I'm curious. I don't know many other my age who listen to much older music at all. Any other 20ish Floyd fans on here?

Depends on the mood. I love Wish You Were Here, but every now and again I love sticking the Wall on from start to finish. Its genius!

no "singles"

Now, if only my flat-mate understood the principle that is the "concept album".

I'm curious. I don't know many other my age who listen to much older music at all. Any other 20ish Floyd fans on here?

I'm 24 and most of my [s]friends[/s] male friends like Floyd. As do I.

For me, it's probably WYWH or Dark Side though, admittedly, I'm not intimately familiar with their complete back catalogue. I like bits of The Wall, though the children singing in Another Brick....part 2 really grates on me.

I was about 20 when I first got into the Floyd. that was 20+years ago 🙁

I'm going with Atom Heart Mother. That was the one that got me properly into the Floyd I think.

Thanks for reminding me of 'Relics', some nice songs on that. Must digitise my cassette collection if it hasn't all corroded to dust.

just came across this (random US Bike shop - no idea if any good *)

30+ years ago i airbrushed the dark side of the moon album cover on my bedroom wall - haven't listened to stuff like Meddle or Atom Heart for years, someone (and i know who!) stole my Syd Barrett Madcap Laughs - Dark Side get my vote as being consistent rather than hit and miss

*apologies if easily available

Mine would be Wish You Were Here, heard Dark Side first of all but think "Wish" is more accessible and just seems to grow more.

I cant choose between DSOT and DSOTM although my favourite song by far is Comfortably Numb which isn't on either album :-/

Any guy i have ever been out with reckons I'm a bit weird with my Pink Floyd liking ! 😆

I love The Wall too.

A Saucerful of Secrets.

Is it OK to like Pink Floyd but not have a favourite? I'm certainly of that era (I think I paid 37/6 for Umma Gumma when it came out)

Astromine Domine came up on my playlist the other day. (Pulse version). It was fab.
