Greatest band ever? No
Greatest album ever? Not by a long shot

Great band and album? Yes.

I love Gilmour's guitar playing and the atmospheric feeling of despair they can so easily provoke...Waters is a great lyricist and bassist as well.

In my earlier days I didn't like them, partially because I had only heard the radio tracks. Later, a friend showed me some things I had not heard and I was duly impressed.

It's definitely a good album, probably great in the writing and performance of a them throughout.

But it's music for specific times or moods. You can't dance to it IMO

Best ever, I don,t think so but its up there in my book, not that that means anything.

Seems to me yes, you have to be in a certain mood to listen to Pink Floyd, but despite their demeanor and the depressing feel of the music, the message they get across is good. Also, Roger Waters is a genius, but a mad one at that and I would be a little nervous to go to a Floyd concert.

Which one's pink? I can't decide if I prefer Gilmour or Barrett, so I'd have to say Rick Wright.

Pink is based on Roger Waters.

No one here likes Floyd, huh? I don't really like them either, but The Wall is amazing IMO. IS there anyone who does think its one of the best?

My favorite band as you can tell by my forum name. Just don't find any point to argue about this, if you don't like it you don't like it and nobody will change that. And yes it is one of my faves. My favorite song from it is mother.

The last Pink Floyd album I bought was Wish You Were Here,I have every Floyd album from the early albums -Piper at the Gates of Dawn,Saucerful of Secrets- up until that one. I loved Dark Side of the Moon the first few times I heard it but then it seems that everywhere you went everyone was playing it and it became tiring the same thing happened to The Wall.I think that Meddle was a much better album than The Wall.

I'm a big fan of Pink Floyd. I saw them in a college auditorium in '68. I have most all their albums except "The Wall". I just never got into it.

See I'm exactly the opposite. I find that DSOTM gets so much hype and so much attention and airplay that I hear it every time I turn on the radio. I feel like The Wall shouldn't have had any singles, because when I bring up The Wall, I instantly get Comfortably Numb or Another Brick in the Wall right back. The Wall is the kind of album you have to sit down and listen to all the way through or its just not the same. Its a musical journey, not just a collection of songs.

That wasn't the question. I like Floyd. I don't think it was the best album of all time.

Personally, when The Wall was made into a show, it turned out to be one of the best rock n roll theature ever made. Who would have thought playing half a show out of view from your audience, behind a wall would be a success.

Was it the best album, no. I do however love Pink Floyd's work, I just wish they all could have settled thier differences while Richard Wright was alive.

I think it is. The way the story develops through both the lyrics and the music is unreal. Also, the way Pink's life experiences haunt him is illustrated beautifully. For example, in The Trial and Waiting for the Worms, the melody from Another Brick in the Wall (any of them) becomes the guitar riff, and the way the lyrics repeat and echo themselves is stunning. Even if you don't listen for the story, the individual songs are strong by themselves. But after listening to the whole thing after having heard some of the highlights, you have to listen to the whole thing or you are missing out! By far the best album of all time.

little Bro, I'm glad you like the floyd, but the wall was made by a bunch of rich guys that lost touch with reality and it shows on that whole fiasco, seen it heard it and talented people yes and yawn, listen to the album "meddle" and enjoy the floyd before they filled up with themselves.
