1. Piper at the gates of Dawn
2. Darkside of the Moon
3. Wish you were here.

The Wall is good, but it was mainly a Roger Waters production.

Piper is so fucking odd, it wild, weird, and completely different from anything. It's great, the word play, the music, the oddness of it all. Great album. Darkside is the perfect middle ground of odd acid trips and progressive rock. Wish you were here is a good salute to Barrett, the music, the band, everything fell in place really well on that one.

Meddle is great too but I'll give the edge to The Wall since it has more good songs. Haven't heard Animals yet

I really like The Wall as I'm a sucker for concept albums, but it's rather bloated. The ones above are more focused and don't suffer so much.

Is Pink Floyd a band that Evilbore as a collective can agree on? Or are we gonna get a couple of snobs that think their music is shit?

I've only heard Dark Side of the Moon but I really liked it.

It seems to be rolling a good trend so far... I BET Demi is going to be the snob.

Absolutely positively QFT, even the part about Comfortably Numb.

Yeah, and seriously, who the fuck said Zeppelin sucked? I like Zeppelin more than I do Floyd, and that's saying something, considering how I feel about Pink Floyd.

Edit: However, that's more because I can sit down and listen to Zeppelin more often, whereas it's harder for me to sit down and listen to Floyd when I'm not in the mood to do so.

Piper at the Gates of Dawn
Wish You Were Here
Animals

Dark Side of the Moon and Meddle would be next if I were permitted to list 5. The Wall is far too spotty, particularly sides 3 and 4, with The Trial being the worst offender -- probably the worst "song" Pink Floyd ever recorded. There's a great album in there, unfortunately muddied by a desire to flesh out the concept even when the material was detrimental to the whole.

Bloodwake · « **Reply #21 on:** November 25, 2008, 12:39:48 PM »

I'm not going to deny that Sides 3 and 4 are spotty on the wall, but.

Hey You
Comfortably Numb

That's enough to kick my ass.

Robo · « **Reply #22 on:** November 25, 2008, 12:42:18 PM »

And "Run Like Hell", but the list stops right there.

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #23 on:** November 25, 2008, 12:48:43 PM »

Comfortably Numb has the best Floyd guitar solo ever, so...

Yeah, how could I forget that?

Damn, I'm going to go listen to some Floyd right now and bootleg the albums I don't have

PINK FUCKING FLOYD

I watched Dark Side with Oz again the other night, wtf it doesn't work at all

Only Money is a match

Robo · « **Reply #26 on:** November 25, 2008, 12:59:00 PM »

Echoes with the Jupiter and Beyond the Infinite chapter of 2001:ASO works a bit better -- it's still a stretch, but since that chapter is mostly visual, it's easier to accept.

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #27 on:** November 25, 2008, 01:03:18 PM »

Hey, I like the Trial, and I don't even smoke pot

don't be hatin'

Robo · « **Reply #28 on:** November 25, 2008, 01:03:23 PM »

I can't believe you actually like Vera.

BlueTsunami · « **Reply #29 on:** November 25, 2008, 01:06:13 PM »

The Wall
Animals
The Final Cut

I thought The Wall would be too generic of first choice but I can't deny my love for a couple of the tracks on it. Animals because of "Dog" and The Final Cut is more of a Waters album so I'm not too sure if that should be named. If so, then Wish You were Here would be my third choice.

It's such a haunting song. Definitely one of my favorites on the album.

Pigs (Three Different Ones) has such a fantastic intro, btw. I love the bass line and how it works so perfectly with the keyboard riff.

Is this that short bridge track where he's wondering what became of Vera? I thought I was the only one that enjoyed it. Oh Green Shinobi

VALIS · « **Reply #36 on:** November 25, 2008, 10:21:21 AM »

1. The Piper at the Gates of Dawn
2. Atom Heart Mother
3. A Saucerful of Secrets

One of the few bands where I like every album they've put out.

Goodbye Blue Sky is so underrated.
