We also thought that overall Floyd were a little bit pretentious. Given that, we were amazed that each of us thought their best work was Piper At The Gates!
Thinking of you right now, Syd!
I can`t recall how often I have heard something similar: "pre-Moon-Floyd are the best" or "they were s.h.i.t. after Syd left" and so on. I can`t help it, but to me, Seventies Floyd piss all over "Piper at the Gates of Yawn".

They're a great band, slightly overrated but thats just because theyre so highly rated. My personal favorite is Dark Side of the Moon, but The Wall, Wish You were Here and Animals are awesome too. They're sound took me a while to get used to because its so different but its great in its own right.
1. Animals 2. Dark Side of the Moon 3. Wish You Were Here 4. Meddle 5. Atom Heart Mother 6. Piper at the Gates of Dawn 7. Relics 8. Ummagumma (Studio Disc) 9. A Saucerful of Secrets 10. More 11. Obscured by Clouds ....................................
12. The Wall 13. The Division Bell 14. The Final Cut 15. A Momentary Lapse of Reason
Amazing, amazing band, but they definitely died at The Wall.

Animals is no.1 for me. then: Meddle, Wish You Were Here and Dark Side Of The Moon. I like The Wall sometimes. Bit overplayed from where I'm at. Pre - Meddle I'm not sure. Obscured By Clouds, then it gets harder for me to dig. Momentary... is a good album too. Always will be Animals. The track Dogs inparticular.

Rowdy, you don't like The Wall?
Nope...it's just not creative enough musically for me....a lot of it is junk, and the good stuff just sounds a lot like the rock music of the time....it's still got five or six classic songs though, so it's better than anything they did after, but I'm not really a fan of it.

It takes a lot of patience to listen to Pink Floyd. Especially since you can't FF CD's! I love Shine on You Crazy Diamond, but it's freaking 17 minutes long!! And the insane laughter in some of their songs tends to be a bit creepy. Otherwise though they are a great band. Anyone know if Gilmour and Waters ever made up?
