Basically, the two essentials are Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here. if you don't like either you have no soul. My favourite is probably Animals, which would be the next progression. Then maybe The Wall and Meddle. And keep going from there  :hat

Pretty much this. I think many PF fans would make this suggestion - start with one, two or all three of The Dark Side Of The Moon, Wish You Were Here (my personal favorite! I even have a poster of the cover!) and/or Animals. Those are pretty much their 3 most loved albums, at least according to the poll here. Then there's the long and amazing concept album The Wall, which does take awhile to digest, so don't give up on it so easily!

Enjoy your Pink Floyd journey! :tup

This is gonna sound a tad weird, but I think I actually prefer the version of "Run Like Hell" from The Wall movie over the one on the studio album.  It is only 2 1/2 minutes, but it sounds more furious and frantic.  I love how the keyboard solo is placed underneath the second verse in the movie version; it makes that second verse that much more bad ass. :metal

Damn, I don't recall a difference. I'll check it out tonight.

when it comes to Echoes, i find that the version on David Gilmour's Live In Gdansk beats the studio or the Pompeii version by 10000x

Maybe not 10000x, but I definitely think it improves on an already great song.

Checking it out now. From how you described it, it sounds as if it would be better.

I love pretty much all of PF, but it's really weird since I don't like DSOTM at all.  I just don't get anything out of it.  Songs like On The Run, Us and Them, and Any Colour You Like do absolutely nothing for me.

I do appreciate Time, Money, and Great Gig, though.  Probably my three faves.

Yep. You simply can't go wrong with any of those. But If I must recommend one, Wish You Were Here would be it. If you don't like the title-track you have no soul  :millahhhh

Really?  In what way?  I know that none of the songs on The Wall really stand alone (just like any other concept album), but I can't see how it's any more overrated than any other Floyd album.

Like most double albums, it's too long and bloated and I find that it's good moments are easily eclipsed by the good moments on other PF albums.

But like most double albums, if you really like it, there's twice as much there to immerse yourself in.

There is a good handful of songs on The Wall that stand on their own. In fact I kinda wished they had released just those songs on a 40 minute album instead of cementing them together with filler.

 :omg:  No!  Never start with a compilation.  All you're getting is someone else's idea of their "best of". 

Pink Floyd took a lot of care to craft their albums as cohesive endeavors.  To not start by listening to an album, end-to-end, is to miss out on a lot of what made Pink Floyd so great.

Couldn't agree with you more.  It is so hard to single out a Floyd song, solely because they are a part of a greater whole.

I honestly don't care much for The Wall outside of a few select songs. As others have said, too much filler for me.

Still, Dark Side/Animals/Wish You Were Here are all amazing and should be listened to  :hat

I myself am a huge fan of the Wall.  I always felt that the main character is one of the most fully developed three dimensional characters in music.  The personality structure of Pink underlying the music is just amazing.
