    i cant really pick a favorite album for sure you know... sometimes i feel more like one album and sometimes and feel more like another

    but if i had to say right now ... Animals

    but Darkside and the Wall are fine too ... my alltime favorite song's gotta be Empty Spaces + Young Lust ...

    that solo in empty spaces is awesome ... the transition from one song to the other is unearthly ... and young lust as a whole is just pure awesomeness...

    listening to these 2 songs in sequence always give the chills ... :2thumbsup:

    'how should i ... compleeeete ... the waaaaaaaaall... '

    Agreed man, The Wall is a work of absolute genius. And wow dude what a trip! My favorite is Animals right now too, but nobody else seems to see how incredible that album really is. In fact rolling stone gave it 1 1/2 stars out of 5... what the fuck is up with that??

    How do you guys feel about "Piper At The Gates Of Dawn"? That's one of the other standouts..

    I've played that album (an old favorite) for a number of people in the last few years. Most find it terribly annoying and about half flat out said "please turn off this awful music." Weird.

    That's truly ridiculous, that album is a psychedelic masterpiece. You can call a lot of things awful, but it takes true talent to make something as obscure and interesting as Piper. Perhaps spike their drinks with liquid LSD next time? :devil: hahaha

    My favorite is definitely Piper At The Gates Of Dawn because I like Sid era Floyd. I also like Dark Side a lot because it is good smokey listening.

    Well DSOTM blew me away when it first came out and still does after 100,000 plays lol. Greatest Album of all time. A True work of Perfection. From the album design to Allan Parsons engineering... But "Wish You Were Here" is also my favorite. I've decided I can have two favorites. ;)

    One of their later works, "the division bell", is one of my favorites. Its very emotionally charged, and is just a really epic album.

    The end song, "high hopes" is one my favorite, if not my favorite floyd song.

    Also if you have time, check out The Malah - High Hopes Cover on youtube. Absolutely brilliant rendition!

    Pink Floyd is an album band let alone I dare say a catalog band. I could never pick a favorite Disk I love them all although Bike is my favorite song. I love Sid's sincerity and his true inner child, after that would probably eclipse

    If "The Machine" is ever in your town, it is worth going to see them. They are a great tribute band! They are spot on with a lot of it, with a bit of their own twist. They really carry the spirit of Pink Floyd.
