My friend and I were arguing over this the other day. Thought I'd get your thoughts on the subject.

Depends which drugs you're on.
I'd say the Wall for a good smoke.
Dark side for a good trip.
And Wish you Were Here for the inbetween.
Being so indecisive I couldn't bare to vote on it.
Also I know they are probably the 3 top Albums, but I would include Relics in there as well, great stuff.

ahh...see my friend and I argued on the premise that the listener is sober and unintoxicated.
A boring premise I know...
But yes, I think you're right

I didn't think there was such a body as an unintoxicated Floyd fan! Dark Side great but terrifically overplayed, The Wall also very enjoyable but a tad overblown in places (yes, even for Floyd), so I voted Wish You Were Here - which anyway contains their best song, 'Shine on You Crazy Diamond'.
Incidentally, has anybody listened to any Syd Barrett solo stuff? 'The Madcap Laughs' is a patchy but enthralling listen. I heard he's still alive and living somewhere near Chepstow...
Syd Barrett - Bob Dylan Blues
'I make a whole lotta dough
But I deserve it tho,
Cos my gut and my wallet are fat...
...For I am Mr. Dylan the king
And I'm free as a bird on the wing.'

Well, I am an unintoxicated, sober Floyd fan. Most of the time anyway. Perhaps I'm in the vast minority though...believe it or not I just like the music.

All of them!
It's imposible to vote for one over the other because I listen to them all regularly, I love meddle too!
Floyd are some of the best lyricists in musical history I think and thats before I even get on to how good the actual music is!!!
Good to know I am amongst those who share my passion.
Seeks

look the beauty of Floyd is you can listen to them in just about any state of mind. each time is a new and enthralling experience. you can seriously get fucking lost in the music. as far as which is best. well, since you forced me to pick i went with wish you were here. as was previously mentioned, the best floyd song ever is on there. but really they're all excellent.

Piper at the Gates of Dawn is the only relevant Floyd album peeps.
