    If you were a teenager and pot smoker when Dark Side of the Moon or Animals first came out, they BLEW YOUR MIND. Locking yourself in a basement, hitting a bong, and cranking up those albums took you somewhere your mind had never been before. Hearing those voices and sounds mixed in with guitars was some mind bending **** at the time. What a trip, and what groundbreaking art at the time.
    The Police were very good, were able to bridge Rock and Reggae, but Floyd was more original and getting my vote.

    The problem with Floyd voters is that they act as if Floyd only had one album. I like Floyd but if I never heard ANYTHING from DSOTM again for the rest of my fuggin life it wouldn't be too soon.
    Really, I'm beginning to think they aren't Floyd fans..just DSOTM fans.

    DSOTM is Pink Floyd 101 for sure.

    The big 4 albums are all GOAT material

    Dark Side of the Moon
    Animals
    Wish You Were Here
    The Wall


    I also grew to like Meddle - a lot. But it cant touch the Big 4

    Animals is my fave; The Wall is how I discovered them; I still enjoy the interim between Sid and DSOTM and- I don't care what anyone says- I think The Final Cut is excellent.

    PF is probably my favorite band. While I definitely like and appreciate Dark Side, it is just so overplayed (even by PF standards). I listen to it the least of their "big" albums.

    I really like that one too.

    Although it is the album that ended the, in my opinion, best era of Pink Floyd... love it.
