Close call between Dark Side Of The Moon and The Wall, my favorite song is on The Wall but Dark Side Of The Moon was so revolutionary!

I would say the DSOTM, WYWH, Animals trio are the best period, with some songs from earlier albums (Echoes) and The Wall being absolutely sublime.

Been watching the "Pulse" DVD a lot recently - a good mix of new and old stuff.

PS. I love The Division Bell as well, so there!
I wondered how long it would take someone to dredge up that post-Roger Waters dreck. It went 12 posts before you chimed in with your standard 'Division Bell' blather. You are not worthy.

Waters got big headed and started writing a load of crap.
It took a while for the Floyd to recover, but Waters' solo stuff hasn't exactly been stellar!

Like it or not, at least Waters had the honesty to release his solo stuff under his own name.

After releasing two solo albums which did nothing, Gilmour decided he'd do better if he released his solo stuff as 'Pink Floyd.' He then made lots and lots of money.

...The band is just fantastic, that is really what I think.
Oh by the way, which one's Pink?
And did we tell you the name of the game, boy,
we call it Riding the Gravy Train.

That was about Syd Barret.

Animals.

Have you heard the Easy Beat All-Stars version of Dark Side of the Moon?

It's fantastic -- called Dub Side of the Moon, and the title tells you what kind of spin they put on it.

On Animals, I think that their playing was at it's best but the songs were subpar.

In that regard it sounds self indulgent and rather lazy.

after some listening I've decided I dont like Pink Floyd anymore.
Im grateful for them getting me through high school. The Wall got me through several mediocre years. Atom Heart mother was great with the old black light on in my bedroom for those dreary days. Dark Side of the Moon just annoys me now as several bad radio stations have destroyed it. As for Umma Gumma, Meddle, Animals, Obscured by the Clouds, and wish you were here, I dont think Iever liked them. Maybe wish you were here purely cause of shine on you crazy diamond(the rest of the album joins dark side of the moon in being destroyed by crappy radio stations designed for listeners who just wont let go)
Of course I still love Syd, piper is still great. Good on you Syd and R.I.P. I eagerly don't anticipate the hype they will inevitably generate when a movie is made about you and they decide to butcher all of your music as was done with Floyd after you. Shine on you crazy diamond, shine on.
