| It was the Wall with me. First time I heard it, I was gobsmacked and wanted to know more and what else they had done. Pure and simple. Red Bull gives you wings! |

| Echoes really was the breaker for me. A friend bought it and I listened to it whenever I could. That was about last year, I suppose. After I got Dark Side, I was done for |

| I saw The Wall movie, then got to borrow the album from the guy who owned the movie. I listened to that, then listened to Animals the week after that. Then, I bought Relics and DSOTM a week later... which was summer 2000. That is how I got snagged into the Floyd. |

| I was working one day in 1988 and heard Time (from the DSoT album) on the radio. I was overwhelmed. I ran immediately to the music store and bought DSoT, cause it also had Learning to Fly on it....then quickly bought DSOTM and WYWH... Then The Wall, Animals, then everything else I could find. |

| That's cool. Thanks. I was a little kid at a garage sale with my mother and I saw UMMAGUMMA on vinyl. I had no idea who pink floyd was but I saw some of those song titles and had to hear it. It was only 1.00! As a youngster I liked to play 'several species' for people. It cracked me up to see their reactions. The Wall was next. |

| I fist got The Wall when i was only eleven years old (about 3 Years ago.) I got the special edition 30th anniversary. I then got Divison Bell, DSotM, and WYWH. Im now the proud owner of about 25 CD's and 15 vinyl. |

| The first was The Dark Side Of The Moon, when I was a child, I think 1986, I was 5 years old. And then WYWH and Meddle. |

| PULSE, the year it first came out. I'd never heard Pink Floyd before then, even though I was dimly aware of the existence of ABITW 2. But then a relative got PULSE, and showed it to me. I'd happened to have pulled out the second disk first, and I was just about blown away by DSotM...I'd never heard anything like it. |

| Hey... I just realized something... I was exposed to Animals way before I saw The Wall. My older brother's friend, the same guy who showed The Wall to me, let my brother borrow his vinyl copy of Animals. Since I was into different music at the time (basically the Beatles and '60s pop in general, and I was the wee age of 11), I didn't like Animals when my brother played it for me. I thought the songs were too long, that too much time was spent on guitar solos, and that the album contained too many animal noises for my taste. Only after I turned 15 or so, could I calm down (not be hyper like most 11-year-olds) and sit back and listen to Animals, and appreciate the longer compositions. Here's some embarrassing things about PF that I first assumed: 1. I thought Animals was an E.P. when I was 11. I thought that a record company would not let a band release an album with only 5 songs. 2. I also have a very vague memory of throwing away a vinyl copy of Wish You Were Here when I was 9 or thereabouts. Trust me, I certainly didn't know what I was throwing away. I was kicking myself later, when I got into the Floyd. 3. When I first heard The Wall, I thought that Pink Floyd only had one singer! Ain't that surprising? |

| hey, I thought they only had one singer, too...well, I suppose that's not entirely true...I had no idea who was singing or did I much care...I was too flabbergasted by the music |
