]]>Given how their catalog ranges from popular rock classics to bizarre and avaunt-guard experimental psychedelia, it can be difficult to know where to start. Here is a list of six albums to guide you towards becoming an adoring Pink Floyd fan.
Many people will tell you that Dark Side was the album that made them fall in love with the band. Turn off the lights, lie back and let the dreamy and powerful sounds of Pink Floyd as they enter their peak period wash over you.
Wish You Were Here retains the beauty and some of the dreaminess in Dark Side but is a little more rocky. The saxophone solo in “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” will blow you away and there are no weak songs on the whole album.
Animals is a musical take on George Orwell’s 1984 and contains some of David Gilmour’s tightest guitar work and Roger Water’s finest lyrics.
The Wall is a double-sided album that tells the story of Pink’s descent into the abyss. The album is gripping, imaginative and is arguably Pink Floyd at their peak.
Meddle is somewhere in between the band’s rock mastery and dreamier experimental side. “Echoes” is a haunting 23 minute track which will take you places you’ve never been before.
If you’ve made it through the last five albums then it’s time to listen to their first album. It’s miles away from the sounds on Meddle, but Syd Barrett’s original Floyd should not be skipped over.
