Now most of us can agree that Pink Floyd was one of the best, if not the best, band that ever existed - in both progressive rock and in general. The albums are listed in chronological order, so this shouldn't be too hard. :-) And my preference is... Animals!

I'll go with "I like the David Gilmour's era!"

I was told by a friend not to put in that option.  But yeah, David Gilmour was probably the best in the band, and probably my favorite musician of all time. Have you heard his solo work, and his work with The Orb? It's like nothing else...

The Wall for me. Not only my favorite PF album, but my favorite album in general. Meddle is a close 2nd. ------------- The most dangerous man in America. |

Glad to see that somebody thinks like I do! I would listen to Gilmour as a profession if I could. :D

Ummugumma, Atom Heart Mother then Animals, but I don't like the later albums at all ------------- Classical music isn't dead, it's more alive than it's ever been. It's just not on MTV. https://www.soundcloud.com/user-322914325 |

1975 was a big year for me musically. 15 years old, and I remember listening to WYWH, Physical Grafitti and Minstrel in the Gallery over and over. Throw in Blood on the Tracks, Hair of the Dog, A Night at the Opera, Tonight's the Night, Sabotage and Blow by Blow, and it was a damn good year to be a teenager. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

It was a tossup between Atom Heart Mother and Animals for me, but I figured that the former would get more overshadowed by the mid 70's material, so I decided to give it a vote. ------------- when i was a kid a doller was worth ten dollers - now a doller couldnt even buy you fifty cents |

| Wish you were here, for me, though almost tied with Animals, and Division Bell being a close third. Still, I love most of what they did. |

Ummagumma is my favorite Pink Floyd album, closely followed by Piper. ------------- Categories strain, crack and sometimes break, under their burden - step out of the space provided. |

1 Obscured by Clouds 2 Meddle 3 Animals 4 DSOM 5 WYWH I don't like the Barrett era at all and the Waters era is dull. Gilmour and Wright were the heart of Floyd for me. ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

I can say all of them but voted for Atom Heart Mother. The proper answer is Dark Side Of The Moon, but a year ago I would of voted for The Endless River! |

What he said... ------------- He neither drank, smoked, nor rode a bicycle. Living frugally, saving his money, he died early, surrounded by greedy relatives. It was a great lesson to me -- John Barrymore |

For me it's sort of a toss up between AHM and WYWH. I voted for the one that mooooooves me the most though. Also, because I sometimes like to vote for the underdogs. Or in this case cows.

| Pink Floyd's music is Pink Floyd's music, no matter which album, is always interesting, creative, amazing. Even the less appreciated albums have something interesting to offer. |

Just think of the world of Prog if Pink Floyd did split up after reaching number 1in the album charts. On top of living the title track, I am actually impressed by the Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast section. Plus Summer '68 has the best chorus of their 1970's. So the four piece version on The Early Years is on a daily, if not many repeated plays. |

There would be no good 70s prog if not for Pink Floyd (at least not in variety, and prog would've died sooner or later). If they split up after their first #1 single than prog would've still probably faded out. I mean, just how much of an inspiration have they been, and how much of an example have they been over the years? Pink Floyd is love, Pink Floyd is life.

Barring More (and even that has good songs like "Green Is The Color", "Cymbaline" and "Main Theme"), I like everything Floyd did up to, and including, The Wall. ------------- He looks at this world and wants it all... so he strikes, like Thunderball! |

I've been a strong critic of Meddle since I heard it the first time, never understood what people hear in it that's so great, but Motorpsycho's Here Be Monsters Vol. 2 EP, which bears a strong resemblance to "Echoes", made me revisit it, and that have opened my ears and made me hear it in a different light. Atm that's the Floyd album I reach for when I get an itch to listen to them (which albeit isn't often), so there's where my vote goes. -------------
