Any Pink Floyd fans on here??

Can anyone recommend me some Floyd to listen to. I know Another Brick In The Wall and Comfortably Numb but that's about it.

Listen to the rest of The Wall, then Darkside of the Moon, Wish you were Here, and Animals. Then look into the rest of the back catalog.

They went thru distinct phases as different members took the lead of the band.

Also check out Roger Waters solo albums.

Not too much into the early Syd Barrett Floyd or even the early soundtrack Floyd but in my opinion it starts getting good around Meddle. "Echos" is a gem. And then pretty much everything after that including The Wall.

Yep! i saw the worlds best Pink Floyd tribute band not so long ago, The Australian Pink Floyd and they are ruddy marvelous. For me i like Darks Side of The Moon, Animals, Wish You Were Here. Bizzarely i'm not that into The Wall, apart from the good songs on there, ie Another Brick, Comfortably Numb, In The Flesh and Run Like Hell. I do like the non Roger stuff, The Division Bell is awesome (IMO) and A Momentary Lapse Of Reason is quite good aswell.

I'm partial to "Animals" myself. I think overall it's my favorite Floyd album.

I think "The Wall" is terribly bloated and overdone. I created my own single-disc version that I much prefer cool
