Want to get into pink floyd
which albums do I listen to first?

Wish You Were Here and Animals. Those are the easiest albums to enjoy for me.
If you can understand what it is about them that makes you feel good, then go for Dark Side of the Moon.

Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall.
After that, go for Wish You Were Here and Meddle.
Then Animals and then the rest.

I think we should have something in the OP about where to start with Floyd.

True. Everyone has a different opinion, so maybe an explaination on each album.
So I listened to dark side of the moon and wish you were here for the first time, mind = blown
I love this

True, but The Dark Side of the Moon is the general starting point. Maybe a guide showing just to start with that, then branching off with the next couple of accessible Floyd albums, then into the more obscure stuff, and so on.

I think DSOTM is literally the easiest starting point, very closely followed by WYWH. They are more "normal" rock and roll sounding. Of course the Wall too, but not everyone is really "ready" for that muc Floyd. I started DSOTM and Wall and loved them both, then WYWH, a friend gave me the Division Bell and then I got Meddle. Everyone is "different" but I think most people start with DSOTM/Wall/WYWH.
wasn't initially impressed with Dark Side. But I was young... listened to a LOT more soul/folk.
I may be alone on this, but I think "Animals" is one of the more accessible albums for newcomers. I know the songs are pretty lengthy, but that album is 90% straight rock. The songs are nicely structured too, so they don't seem as long as their track listing says. Of course, I'm used to listening to behemoth tracks like [i]Echoes[/i] and [i]Atom Heart Mother[/i] as well....
In short, I'd recommend it as a second listen after DSOTM.
It depends, a lot of people might be deterred by the song lengths, which is why we don't recommend it as a starting album. Some people might be entirely used to it though, so yeah.

With Animals they had the most time to just go with the flow and record a shitload before piecing it all together. They changed their contract so they had UNLIMITED studio time, remember?

I'm sorry, you realise this forum isn't the entire Pink Floyd fan base. :v:

Don't listen to everyone here who suggest animals, wywh or dark side
be a man and start from the beginning, Piper At The Gates of Dawn
you'll get a better experience of the changes they go through.

Whatever, we get so many posts about where to start with Floyd anyway :v:
Well Piper is a lot easier to do if you're more experienced in psychedelic music.

Why don't we all contribute? Bags Division Bell :)
if you're well-versed in prog/psyche, etc. you'll obviously be able to listen to any Floyd a lot easier. But assuming that most people transition from rock/classic rock to Floyd you generally want to start with something like DSOTM. But there really aren't that many prog/psyche enthusiasts that haven't listened to Floyd.
Fuck yes. My collection is (almost) Complete!

Sorry for my horrible camera work, from left to right, I have:
Piper At the Gates of Dawn, A Saucerful Of Secrets, More, Ummagumma, Meddle, Obscured By Clouds, Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals, The Wall, The Final Cut, Relics, London 1966/1967
I still need to get TDB, AMLOR and AHM. They're all amazing.
Also, I got a poster:[IMG]http://www.1337upload.net/files/2012-01-25_13.37.22.jpg[/IMG]
Your collection is impressive, but you don't have a badass mini milkcrate:
