The Wall and WYWH are extremely overrated.

The Wall is the best story ever put into song. And WYWH has that song Shine On You Crazy Diamond, one of thier best IMO.

I agree they're not the best, but overrarted? C'mon

EDIT: I managed to screw that up.

Personally I prefer good PF.

Dark Side of the Moon, although maybe that's obvious. That might change though, as I need to listen to more of The Wall.

Dark Side of the Moon is by far my favorite album, with Meddle in second. Pink Floyd, and I love most of their albums, even Obscured by Clouds, Ummagumma and Atom Heart Mother. Surprisingly I am not that big of a fan of the Wall, and I detest The Final Cut. I think Pink Floyd went too far into the progressive genre with the Wall, and lost their Pyschedelic roots, up until the Wall I think they managed to incorporate Progressive, Psychedelics and Blues-y sound at times, together rather amazingly to create a really unique and amazing sound. I also really enjoyed A Momentary Lapse of Reason and the Division Bell. I don't really like The Wall and Final Cut becuase I felt the band stopped being Pink Floyd and became "Roger Waters with the occasional David Gilmour solo". Richard Wright was fired, Nick Mason was rarely used for the Final Cut, and David Gilmour only recorded solos at some points. Also P.U.L.S.E. (Pink Floyd live 1994) version of Comfortably Numb > Studio version of Comfortably Numb.

I find them to be a bit boring but The Wall is a bit more upbeat.

I'm not really a huge fan of Pink Floyd to be honest, mostly because I got tired of everybody praising Dark Side of the Moon like its the best thing since sliced bread but couldn't name one song out of that album besides Money. However out of all their albums I really enjoyed Animals the most, probably because I enjoy concept albums. That said, this also has a more acoustic sound than previous Pink Floyd albums... In a way Animals reminds me of Porcupine Tree, hence why I probably prefer this album over other PF albums..

That or Another Brick in the Wall (the Korn version)

After DSOTM they got stuck on the the theme/concept albums and became formulaic producing what is far from their best. Save for Animals ofc. < 3 Dogs.

I don't consider Shine On You Crazy Diamond all that either. Hell, Syd didn't even like WYWH. ;d

Dark side of the moon, i'm not a huge fan. but that album is pretty darn good by anyones standards

[QUOTE="BATTOSAI76"]

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

You have your answer.

Because nothing is more cheesy than melodic, trippy, and mind-blowing music...

Dark side of the moon. I think it's the only one I've heard of.

[QUOTE="Guppy507"][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.super_mario_128

Call me crazy but my favorite album is Division Bell (their new stuff.)

But "The Wall" is pretty much the classic.

1) Animals

2) The Wall

3) Piper at the Gates of Dawn

4) The Final Cut

5) Dark Side of the Moon

6) Meddle

The first three will switch order from time to time.

Dark Side...not only the best PF album, one of the best Rock albums.

[QUOTE="themajormayor"][QUOTE="RisethNameless"]You really think so? I think they're both as good as each other. Moonlight Sonata is a very nice piece indeedRisethNameless

Ok these ones are very famous ones but it's still very good. I pick it because it's easy accessible maybe but still goodies.

[QUOTE="RisethNameless"][QUOTE="themajormayor"] No it sucks IMO. Unless you're talking about the 3rd movement, it's ok. Most famous classical songs suck IMO. You have to dig deeper to find the goodies. themajormayor

Ok this one is a very famous one but it's still one of my favourites. I pick it because it's easy accessible maybe but still good.
