What's your favorite Pink Floyd album? And your opinion of Pink Floyd themselves

Until just recently, I never really listened to Pink Floyd all that much. They just never interested me that much. I found them, to be completely honest, a little boring.
I've always been a massive fan of Progressive Rock though, which confused me since so many people seemed to love them so much. And so, I listened to Animals and ish You Were Here, properly, with all my attention focused on ever aspect of the music. I fell in love. And since then they've only gone and grown on my even more. Their sound is one of the most awesome and unique I've head in Progressive Rock.
Such great music, such talent, such emotion and creativity. A band that deserved every inch of their success. With their best album being Wish You Were Here, in my opinion.

And what of you? How much do you love (or not love) Pink Floyd?

I don't listen to them.

I don't like Pink Floyd a lot but I did listen to The Wall a lot.

It has to be Dark Side of the Moon

One of the best no doubt. Dark Side, Wish You Were Here, and Meddle. DSOTM is a great album from start to finish. WYWH has the best intro and outro. Echoes is a great long collaboration from all 4 members. And if you never have seen them live, you never will. However there is a band called Australian Pink Floyd, that pretty much replicate them. They got the seal of approval from Pink Floyd themselves to use their name because they are that good. I have seen them twice now, and they sound great, and have a great "floyd-like" show.DevilMightCry

Honestly, I've always found the whole prog rock genre a tad dull.

[QUOTE="GulliversTravel"]Dont get me wrong, prog rock is awful, boring pretentious, cheesy crap, but Pink Floyd were completely detached to the scene. They did their own thing and flourished, which is quite amazing because even geniuses cant work in vacuums.GulliversTravel

In Utero just so happens to be my favorite Nirvana album, I'll diffinetly give them a try.

Animals super_mario_128

I don't like them nearly as much as I used to, though I guess even then I only really had a limited feel for them. DSOTM or Animals are probably their best.super_mario_128

The album with Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, definitelyJandurin

They're one of the best bands ever. Animals and The Final Cut are my favorite albums by them.

If by "that one" you mean a bunch of 10 year olds, then you'd be right.

i dont like anything by them

I have been a fan of PF for a long time. As I got more of their albums, I was amazed at their range and diversity. From the clear diction of Piper at the Gates of Dawn to the screeches from Careful With That Axe Eugene to the really crazy animal like noises of Several Species of Small Fury Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving With a Pict (probably the longest song title ever) and the story of The Wall, PF offers lots to listen to. Were PF on drugs? Who knows, but they did put together a bunch of music that is fantastic to listen to either sober or stoned.

I have become quite attached to this song from Piper for some reason:
