No "Animals"? I consider that album better than DSOTM.

Also think "The Division Bell" is vastly under rated.



Here’s looking at you, kid.
Idk about my top 20 in order, but my favorite album is Meddle. I could probably pick out my favorite songs from each album:

Piper at the Gates of Dawn: Interstellar Overdrive

A Saucerful of Secrets: Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun

More: Cymbaline

Ummagumma: Grantchester Meadows

Atom Heart Mother: Atom Heart Mother

Meddle: San Tropez (my favorite album, was hard to choose but I’ve seen this song performed live multiple times and love it every time)

Obscured by Clouds: Mudmen

Dark Side of the Moon: Great Gig in the Sky

Wish You Were Here: Welcome to the Machine (this album was very hard to decide my favorite song)

Animals: Pigs (Three Different Ones)

The Wall : Vera

The Final Cut: The Gunners Dream

A Momentary Lapse of Reason: On the Turning Away

The Division Bell : Lost for Words

To make an even 15, favorite song from my favorite Roger Waters Album -

Radio KAOS : Who Needs Information



The Adventure Starts Here!
This was as close as we could get to seeing Pink Floyd themselves: seeing The Wall in 2010. Three generations of Pink Floyd fans: my mom, who used to blare her Pink Floyd vinyl albums while car-washing her white Fiero in the driveway; my husband and I (he's the one who got me and my son into Pink Floyd by blaring it in his car everywhere he went); and my son. We even got a small write-up in the local paper for bringing a three-generation entourage to the concert. That might be why The Wall is my favorite album, with DSOTM following close behind.

Favorite PF song might be "Money."






@Austruck : someone's got to ask and it may as well be me ..... why is 'Mum' inserting a french fry into her right nostril????

The same reason people climb Mount Everest: because it's there.

Actually, she was just funning for the camera. I grew up in a weird family. Here's a better picture of her. (The concert was on her 71st birthday, too--perfect gift!)

I was born the same year "The Final Cut" (and Supertramp's "Famous Last Words") so the next best thing was to see Roger Waters three times in three different cities (multiple states and countries), but that's a REAL long story.


I'll share one concert story because it pertains to this place.... I was (and still am) a member of this Pink Floyd message board. Weeks before the show (July 2007), one of the main guys on the site, Mike, thought we should organize, meet up before the show, see the concert, and meet up at the same place (Casey's?)... Well, just a couple of days before the show, he died, and he was 40..... His wife came, brought his jersey, so it was bittersweet, but it was nice to meet all the people you talked to almost every single day.. 18 months later, I went to Europe, and made a stop in London to see another friend (moderator), and another from the site who's very good friend is.... Dave Kilminster, who has played with Roger since the 90s.

_____ is the most important thing in my life…
…my mom, who used to blare her Pink Floyd vinyl albums while car-washing her white Fiero in the driveway…
I love this woman!

The world was sending out some Pink Floyd vibes yesterday. Just so happened to turn the radio on and Comfortably Numb was on the radio going to my folks. Sat in the car to finish the song. When I left and turned the car on, the morning talk show (they re-run in the evening) was doing their game show and the question was, “Name this song”…cue Comfortably Numb
