I'm kind of new to their music. What are your favourites and why?
(so far pic rel, but that might change)
What's the best Pink Floyd album?
Relics is pretty dope, although it's not my favorite. I don't normally listen to compilation albums, but all of the tracks are non-album singles. It's a collection of super psychedelic music from their period under Syd Barrett. You might be familiar with "Arnold Layne" and/or "See Emily Play".
My favorite is either Meddle or Animals. Both are super atmospheric and dynamic in sound. They feel much more prog rock than, for example, Dark Side of the Moon.
dsotm
Obviously this
obviously a pleb
yeah dark side of the moon was still the most impactful for me
I'd have to say Meddle because the final track is like an album experience of its own. Really every album before final cut was good
WYWH is the best. The other albums are not even close. Closest is animals tho.
Wish You Were Here and Atom Heart Mother are the best. DSotM is good, but incredibly overrated. The Wall is ass
Animals and Atom Heart Mother
wish you were here, meddle, and the wall
The wall is pure garbage
...
Musically their first two albums are far superior to any other, but people generally love the production of Meddle through The Wall.
before someone inevitably says animals, have you ever thought that it's the most calculated pf album and the most "babby's first" it's not terrible but it's certainly not that great
someone post the tier list pasta
Atom Heart Mother or DSOTM for me
There are a lot of good choices for "Pink Floyd's best album". Only one is correct tho, and that would be WYWH.
DSOTM is their best hands down. The real argument is what album is the next best album. I'm going to say Meddle.
Animals
Animals, Dark Side, Wish You Where Here, Obscured by Clouds
everybody forgets about obscured by clouds
literally just wish you were here leftovers
So far for me
Piper > DSOTM > Echoes > Wish You Were Here > Saucerful > Animals

6/10 opinion
Animals, Piper, Saucerful, Dark Side, and Wish you were here.
But I also like parts of The Wall, Atom Heart Mother, Endless River, etc.
