Pink Floyd CDs

Hey guys, new to this website just happened to stumble on it the other day. I kind of a new(ish) listener to Pink Floyd and so far i have Dark side of the moon, Wish you were here, The Wall, A Momentary Lapse of Reason. What would you guys recomend i should get next? Thanks for the help.

meddle...Then jump to Division bell(if you like gilmour) or Animals if u like Waters.

Then you MUST at least get acquainted with The early works (perhaps relics)

hes right, after you get those two albums, go for something like Atom Heart Mother, or the piper at the gates of dawn(if youve never heard any tracks from that one then your in for a suprise, haha)

Meddle >>> Animals >>> The Division Bell

I'd say get the Echoes collection and decide what songs you like on there, then go for those albums.

Thanks ill do that

Meddle, Obscured By Clouds, More, Atom Heart Mother in that order.

Share and enjoy!

You should get The Final cut and Animals, two of their greatest in my opinion. But it may well be not your opinion, so listen to them first i think Meddle would be a great choice to.

I think that if you can really appreciate Floyd's music, and if your serious about completing your collection, you should start at the beginning and work your way up.

This way you can see the band changing throughout the years. Sure, there is only a three year time period between Piper at the Gates & Atm Hrt Mthr, but these albums couldn't be more different than eachother.

Whichever route you choose, you will be pleased with all the amazing music you have discovered.

i say The Final Cut, but if your looking for upbeat tunes you find them on this one, well maybe the song Not Now John.

For some reason, "Not Now John" is frequently misinterpreted. A lot of people don't seem to find the irony of its context in the rest of the album. For the past 40 minutes Roger has basically been pleading with us to "sheath the sacrificial knives" and wondering "what have we done?" Then there's this obnoxious new voice barging in after the most intimate moment of the album going "stuff all that" (well, on the radio edit).

This attitude takes over, and the album ends with a nuclear apocalypse. Doesn't sound very upbeat to me!

Go for, in this order:

1. Meddle - Contains Echoes, plus a bunch of other good, but not great songs. Try to get it used/cheap. It definitely wasn't worth the $20 I spent for it, but Echoes is the best song ever.

2. Animals/The Division Bell - I find myself listening to The Division Bell a lot more often than Animals. Division Bell is very melodic and melancholy, with more actual songs, while Animals is raw and biting. Both great albums.

4. The Piper at the Gates of Dawn - I don't have this album yet, listen to other people.

5. The Final Cut - I don't have this one yet either. It's too much to pay right now for an album that, from what i'm hearing, could result in my suicide.

Division bell, Animals, Final cut, Atom heart mother, momentary lapse, its all good

to TheRat, the final cut is definitely worth the price, and wont result in your suicide.(well, i cant promise anything). if u like the wall and roger waters, u will love it.

Listen to the Final Cut....the songs are all good and i think it is one of the 3 best Roger records
