Greatest Pink Floyd Album Got spare money?

My personal favorite is the Final Cut. I know, I know, most Floyd fans hate it, but it's so bitter I just can't resist. It's really a Waters album anyway.

This is followed closely by Ummagumma, Wish You Were Here, and Meddle.

I cannot stand the Post-Waters Floyd.

I liked Meddle, Piper at the Gates of Dawn, Saucerful of Secrets and Wish You Were Here best at one time or another. I used to like Dark Side of the Moon, but I heard too much of it during the 70s, 80s, 90s. Ditto The Wall.

I quite like some of their early singles, pre-Piper. Extremely technically deficient, full of stupid rock ideas and youthful confidence in the best Art School In-Crowd Darlings tradition. Sort of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs of their time really.

Everything else is pure cack. Roger Waters is the most evil man in musical history.

At least in Sweden they're universally hated by critics, to the extent that I've read several columns dedicated solely to thrashing them. And good riddance too.

Dark Side, that was when I hit high school. But Wish you were here is a close second. It's a bit unfair to include live/compilation albums in the poll, oh well. Btw, the new Roger Waters DVD, "In the Flesh" is GREAT! I never tire of watching it...

The Purdue Union had a showing of Dark Side with The Wizard of Oz - way cool stuff the first time through (second and third time onthe other hand...)

Great stuff. The Wall, WYWH, DSotM are all really good when you're just chillin', reading a book or trying to sleep.

Recently got "Come Hell or High Water" by Deep Purple, Richie Blackmore's last live DVD/concert with the band, another worthwhile investment for classic rock enthusiasts.

Aphex Twin does ambient techno, which falls somewhere between good muzak and bad video game music, or bad muzak and good video game music. Hard to tell. Trust me, you aren't missing anything.

berzeker - it's very 'experimental' music. Imagine Phillip Glass, only without the excitement.
