Love Pink Floyd. Got all their albums.
So many great songs, but Comfortably Numb is probably the best for me. Many other greats though. Echoes, Time, Us and Them, All of Animals, Shine on You Crazy Diamond, Wish You Were Here, See Emily Play, When The Tigers Broke Free, and on and on. The Wall is an absolute epic. Got my tickets to see it live this year.

Shine on You Crazy Diamond gives me shivers. I also love Money.
Their albums best to worst: Meddle Animals DSOTM WYWH Piper Wall (IMO it's overrated - I think there's a lot of filler on this) Atom Heart Mother Ummagumma Division Bell Saucerful of Secrets Obscured by Clouds Momentary Lapse of Reason Final Cut More Phenomenal band - although I prefer Genesis in the prog-rock bracket

Syd was a unique songwriter, they were never the same without him. |

Difficult to have a fave song as there were many great musical moments from them. Echoes, Sheep and Comfortably Numb are amongst my favourites Also love A Saucerful Of Secrets on studio album, and the live Astronomy Domine and Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun from Ummagumma.

mushymanrob is not the only one to prefer the Syd Barret era of Floyd. I remember Paul Weller saying something very similar on Pink Floyd. |

This isn't in the Appreciation Forum, therefore people don't have to be favourable.

A lot of people enjoyed the Syd era, me included, but it consisted of one album, a few singles, and one song on the 2nd album. but so much more followed.
![]() For a lot of people, Floyd in the '70s ended up representing everything overblown about rock during that era. |

I went off Pink Floyd when The Wall came out. I thought it was pompous and pretentious. Comfortably Numb was the best track on it, but after hearing so many terrible versions of it, it grates as much as Stairway To Heaven. |

But arguably none of it quite so good.
![]() For a lot of people, Floyd in the '70s ended up representing everything overblown about rock during that era. Waters has been touring The Wall for over two years now, and it is a sell out wherever he goes. Phenomenal really. |
