@Skyline it’s a ‘rock opera’, so I guess that would make sense. To me it is dramatic, dark, desperate, dystopian, and just great rock. I can listen to the whole thing from start to finish in a single sitting easily.
WYWH is up there for me too. I prefer both over DSotM. The Wall never makes #1 on their best albums list, and prob not their best album musically, but emotionally it’s powerful.
Yea, have to agree with Wall > WYWH > Dark Side. Dark side always reminds me of the acid hangouts of my youth, and a local band that thought they rocked, trying to play Money and butching it :-)
Haha. Yeah they changed shortly after Meddle for sure (and Obscured is not good). Can understand if their early stuff is what you prefer, since what came after was quite different.
I saw the Pink Floyd in Wembley, London, in early 1970s. Except that, due to entirely avoidable circstances, I can't really say that I /saw/ them. Or had much of a clue what happened. Probably went home muttering, "Wow... Far Out!" ;)
I occasionally listen to a song or two from Relics. I must see if I even have Atom Heart Mother and Meddle any longer
For me ever since Roger Waters became a whiny bitch I was like F Off. The Wall/The Final Cut sounds like Roger Waters being Emo as hell with a dildo up his ass. I hated his solos except for Radio KAOS. Yeah the fans will kick my ass but my story is true.
@RobS ... See my signature to know that I'm particularly fond of the Syd Barett album.
By the way... Ummagumma was the first non-classical album I ever bought, as my late-started journey into rock began. I have no idea why I chose it, but I've been careful with axes ever since. And listened out for dog foxes.
