Hi from Melbourne, Australia.. Animals and Wish……equal top tier. Next tier Dark Side…. I feel Great Gig and Us and Them are about a minute too long each..

Over the years The Wall and Animals have become my favourites. Although only about 7% actually go to private school, so The Wall alienates a lot of listeners like me, but the compositions are epic

[@BrockwaysVinylBytes]

Oh yeah for sure. Great records! Even if you haven’t been through what the character of the concept has been through (I certainly have not!) the whole thing is still so appreciable!

Piper was the album that turmed me on to Floyd after I had dismissed them as a yuppie band. It ticked every box for me. After that I delved back into their catalogue and found so much more. I still don't particularly care for anything post The Wall though

[@BrockwaysVinylBytes]

I do recommend giving a revisit to the final two (Momentary Lapse and Division Bell) but on your own time. When it hits you, it’s hits you… and if it don’t, that’s cool too 👍🏽 thanks for your comment! 😃

@@BrockwaysVinylBytes I'll definitely give them another spin at some point. Tastes change as you get older after all

The original space cadets, Pink Floyd struggled in the early days. It wasn't bad enough Syd Barrett was affected by the drug scene then exploding in London, but the band didn't connect with record buyers right away. The first album was so far ahead of its time, even with its flaws, nothing else was like it. Top 40 was in full control, in the US, and the Floyd didn't fit in, so their singles did generate any airplay until Money, in May, 1973. After that, the stunning Dark Side dropped, and Pink Floyd was the band of bands, overnight. For the rest of the decade, Pink Floyd could do no wrong. Things weren't well, in the band, and hadn't been, for a while. Roger Waters felt imposed on, and his songs exploring the impact the death of his father before he was born had run their course. The final album by the band we'd all known for tem years was anticlimactic, a leaden farewell, after the theatrics of The Wall. The dream was over, reality, and time, had set in, taken their toll, leaving shell-shocked survivors. I bought the top 12 on or near release dates, have copies of the other two, vinyl, CD, and digital, but never listen to anything on either of them.
