What's everyone's thoughts on Pink Floyd? Love them or hate them?

Has to be love.

Saw Australian Pink Floyd in the Royal Albert Hall a few years ago.

Amazing

Pink Floyd are an intimidating band. Their discography is simply enormous and some of their most well known works are very difficult to get in to.

The best way to get into them is, obviously, the Dark Side of the Moon, listening to the whole thing in order. By the end of The Great Gig in the Sky you should know whether Floyd might be for you.

Probably one of the best bands ever in my book, yet I only have just over half of their albums.

I don't think you can get anything more rewarding and arty than The Wall, which is my favourite album of all time.

This, though it's been a lot of years since I last listened to Dark Side of the Moon. Maybe I should revisit it to see if I have a new appreciation for them

It's somewhat of an acquired taste. In as good a way as possible.

<3

I've recently discovered "Obscured by Clouds", never listened to it before! Absolutely love it

Now I'm going to wait for Gilly to come along and say they just make noise

Because it's pretentious arty crap?

I like them though.

Animals is my favourite albums.

But as a starting point The Wall and Dark side of the moon is always the best.

Love em,. One of the few bands I wish I'd seen live but never did....Queen and Zep were the other two.

Love Pink Floyd, and have seen them live twice. Pre and post Waters. Saw Queen too, but never managed Zep unfortunately.

I would never suggest for someone to start with the wall, it's a really difficult album.
