Favorite Pink Floyd Album & Song

(The song, not the album. I don't have a favorite album.)

I lost interest in Pink Floyd when they put out The Wall and everything after it. I enjoyed Animals and everything back to the beginning.

But I like The Wall. (And I also like "On the Turning Away" and some other post-Wall stuff.) What's wrong with The Wall? I mean early Water's Pink is good. Lots of love for Dark Side of the Moon. But The Wall is a seriously awesome album. What makes this album your source of disillusionment with Pink Floyd? Does it suck? No. It doesn't.

Nothing wrong with latter day Pink Floyd. Just did not interest me.

I won't decide between Wish, Animals and Dark Side. Sorry.

Like asking me to pick a favourite child (if I had any little brats!)

Another vote for Animals here. An album that seldom crops up in casual poles such as this, Waters at his gloomy cynical best, I only just played the thing a few weeks ago. Best track, On The Turning away? No wait, Sorrow, no hang on...
Saw them five times and those were some of the best nights of my life.


...Comfortably Numb, that's it, final offer.

As far as the song that most explained my life, this would be it.

Wouldn't you know. It needed something like Pink Floyd to bring Thump back! hehe

Now we know ...
stick around...

I recall my parents listening to Pink Floyd in the den when I was a wee, wee child. 
Usually it was late at night, and they'd be smoking funny-looking cigarettes.

Then Pop would yell "What...? Get out here! Go back to bed!".

Is this my daughter?

Best Album: Dark Side of the Moon. Such deep, thought-provoking lyrics in so many of the songs. The songs, "Time" and "Us and Them" are so powerful; they just give me chills. They say so very much in so few words. Absolutely brilliant.

Best Song: Comfortably Numb. I can't say why here. It just grabs me in a way I can't put into words.

Pink Floyd was a group of philosophers who made songs in the Rock and Roll genre. The only parallel that I know of was the American band, The Doors. Both of them made songs that could just sweep you away to a land of deep thinking while you slammed beers and/or whatever your poison of choice was.

I LOVE Pink Floyd and The Doors. Both of them rock you out with your cock out while simultaneously preparing you for your philosophy final exam.

Not everyone will like either or both of these groups but I argue that they both left their mark on humanity. Both of these groups entertained you and grew you if you were willing to listen.

I mentioned that I loved the first album of Syd's Pink Floyd 67'. And why I thought Dork Side was crap. However, there are three bands, of that early 70's same era, I didn't mention in my post: David Bowie, Jethro Tull, Alice Cooper. Rest my case!
