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 .
Blasphemy! It's all over the shop!
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
I remember that vividly, beautiful slo mo surfing, blew me away.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 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.

Why not? Meddle was the first Floyd album I discovered, DSOTM quickly became my favourite, followed by WYWH.
I was never so taken with Animals, and the Wall I listened to once, and really disliked it.
[i]Relics[/i] I always really enjoyed, but I was really pissed when the CD version of an album that sold for .99p, was going for £10.99! I borrowed a library copy and ripped it, damned if I'm paying £10 more for something that was intended to be sold really cheaply.
I've got a bike, you can ride it if you like.
It's got a basket, a bell that rings
And things to make it look good.
I'd give it to you if I could, but I borrowed it.
😀
Lyrically I think The Final Cut takes the top spot, but if we're on to the music then WYWH, The Wall, DSOTM and Momentary Lapse of Reason would do it for me.
