Favourite Pink Floyd album

[Stumpy Tim]

The Division Bell

Yes, but you are the man who said the 3rd Pirates Film was the best, when EVERYONE knows the first was quality, and the rest are SHIT

 

[Muzzman]

Wish You Were Here for me, followed by DSOM

 

[MXL]

long term fav is the wall, however playing animals alot, great guiters on dogs!

 

[Buzzer]

wish you were here if only for Shine on you crazy diamond and wish you were here. Tingly feelings abound when they go on.

I REFUSE TO VOTE IN A POLL WHEREIN AN ALBUM HAS BEEN COMPLETELY MISSED OFF THE LIST!!

It's got to be the first album, Piper at the gates... for me, pure Syd Barrett genius.

Animals is criminally underrated as well in my opinion, it definitely has a harsher negative feel to it, in keeping with the corresponding punk cuture at the time. A far, far superior album to the Wall I reckon!!

Best Album either DSOM or Wish you were here

Favourite track: Comfortably numb off The Wall

 

[Trufflehound]

Bloody hell were they really allowed to make that many albums? They were all right up to Animals, but I blotted them out of my thoughts after The Wall...

Wish You Were Here is a brilliant song. The rest - not so much.

Either Animals or Meddle for best album.

Ooops good album too

A Saucerful of Secrets.

All the more so since I discovered that the going rate for the MONO version of the album that I still have is something like £150 on eBay.

WRONG.

Today's asking price is £199.99. No bids yet, though.

It takes different strokes it takes different strokes, it takes different strokes to make the world

Animals

Made all the better by a recollection of working one Saturday morning back in the 80s when I had a car stereo installed in my desk.

I had recorded a compilation tape and it was playing "Pigs" when one of my colleagues suddenly declared "I prefer Sheep". Nobody else knew the name of the track that was playing, and he never heard the end of it!!

The Mono of the first LP also has a different 'take' of a couple of tracks.

Here are a few Floydifacts - including a 1968 original concert program, and a demo of their single at that time, called 'Point Me To The Sky'.

Early Floyd is now highly collectible, and quite valuable

Dark Side of the Moon

Final Cut took an early lead, but no votes since.

Just me and Pasty in the Final Cut boat then.

 

[Eggmundo]

Are they your Floyd Items?

BTW#Went for DSOM purely because I recently saw Mr Waters perform it.
How anyone can vote for The Division Bell is beyond me!

Yes, I've been a Floyd Fan ever since they were called Pink Anderson and Floyd Council! (er....okay, so that's where Syd took the name, but I digrest...).
Brighton Dome was actually the first public performance of DSOTM, as they started that tour at our drum. They opened as their own 'support band' playing that set, then went off for 40 minutes, returning to play a full regular set. It was outstanding! (I still have a couple of drumsticks I collared from that concert, as well as some signed stuff).

As it happens, Division Bell is one of my fave albums by the Floyd. I liked it a lot.
Seeing that tour three times in California - but in mega stadiums that time.

I didn't care for The Final Cut too much though, a bit too depressing. Waters was dominating it completely, so it was good he left to do his own thing.

I didn't vote in this poll though, out of the fact that an album was overlooked.

The delicate sound of thunder is the best live album i have ever heard.I remember lying on the beach chilling out in Crete in the late 80s listening to that album on my sony walkman
