Also it's probably a good idea to add that I just finished listening to TDSOTM
Very good album, but not quite my favourite.

Most people's here is Meddle, might very well be mine too...
I'm afraid of disliking Atom Heart Mother, seeing as it got very polarized reception.
Also, for me The Dark Side of the Moon got better the more I listened to it.
I dunno if I can really rank them since I haven't listened to all of them, but as of now my standings go something like:
1. The Wall
2. Wish You Were Here
2. Animals
2. The Dark Side of The Moon
5. The Division Bell
They're all good, but The Wall is for sure my favourite and the others are all basically tied short of the Division Bell
I haven't even listened to the other albums yet

You really need Meddle... as in cancel all plans and listen to it now.
Since you've pointed out everyone loves Meddle i'm listening to that now.
I'll report back in 41 minutes

Can be taken into account, but can't stop you from enjoying it :smug:
As soon as I find a good place to buy them i'm going to go out and pick up most of the Pink Floyd discography on CD so I can listen to it in my car whenever I drive anywhere since I only have The Wall and The Division Bell

Hm. Well played. :golfclap:
And yeah, Meddle is pretty much a requirement. It's damn near perfect!
[editline]dicks[/editline]
One of the few Pink Floyd albums that I think are completely perfect beginning to end.
I dunno i'm through the first two songs and it's good but not quite my cup of tea
You judge things far too quickly, let things sink in... think a bit more about it.
In fact, I would sit there not communicate and just listen. Well worth a true listen.
I'm doing so
Fearless is pretty good, I like it more than the first two
Fair enough, it's not the most accessible Floyd album. Took me a few listens to get into it.
A lot of the Floyd albums take repeat listens to sink in. In fact... a lot of Prog albums in general require repeat listens.

I think it took me 2 times through The Wall to really get it
Now I absolutely love it.
I'll listen to Meddle again after I finish it this time, but probably not til tomorrow.

A lot of music requires listens. :pcgaming:
The first time I ever heard Meddle was on vinyl, and it was fucking epic.

I really love albums with lots of depth like that. It's so awesome discovering new things hidden in each layer of music whenever you listen to it.
I remember my 10th or so listen to "Kind of Blue" by Miles Davis (not prog, but still), and noticing the bassline in "So What", changing my entire perspective of the song. It was magical.
Echoes begins now
The verses/choruses/whatever of Echoes are amazing

Bitches Brew... is tough to take in fully. That is a monster of an album.
Done Meddle.
Absolutely good, but not my favourite so far.
I have to admit, I'm not much of a brickwall kind of guy. Don't get me wrong, if I put The Wall on, it is likely to be played all the way through. However, I just find it more interesting to hear what Roger has to say about society in Animals.

I absolutely like that aspect of their music, but the things that makes or breaks an album to me are:
-The flow of the album
-The guitar melody (or whatever drives the general tone of music)
If I can't get into the melody, I can't get into the album
[editline]25th March 2011[/editline]
Or song, I guess
That doesn't just stick to albums
I don't concentrate too much on flow unless it's intentional. I go on enjoyment and what is expressed, if it moves me then it recieves bonus points. The Wall didn't move me. Meddle, Animals and Moon were able to do so.

The Wall didn't move me through lyrics or music but through the story expressed behind it
The entire album is just a huge expression of emotion that really draws out this awesome story behind it
And the guitar in most of the songs is sick
Gilmour has never done wrong, "guitar-solo" wise anyway :v:
In terms of Roger's crazy ego stories, I prefer the one in his Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking. True awesomeness.
The opening riffs of In The Flesh are probably one of the most powerful things on The Wall to me
I fucking love them

Give his Pros and Cons a listen, you'll like it. Very "Wall"-esque.
