What is your favorite Pink Floyd album?

Answer 1

dark side

Answer 2

The Final Cut. It just seems to me that this album ( which is highly underrated) has always been over-looked due to it being the last one before Waters lef and perhaps people felt that Waters wouldn't put as much into it.. If you compare that album with the first solo release by Roger Waters you can make an argument that Waters was/is Pink Floyd. The Final Cut could have easily been made into a movie, or at least a short-film, much in the vein of The Wall. Conceptually brilliant

Answer 3

For me, it has to be "Wish You Were Here".


This review from the net says it all.


Pink Floyd: David Gilmour (vocals, guitar); Richard Wright

(vocals, keyboards, VCS3 syntheszier); Roger Waters (vocals,

bass); Nick Mason (drums). Additional personnel: Roy Harper

(vocals); Dick Parry (saxophone); Venetta Fields, Carlena

Williams (background vocals). Recorded at Abbey Road

Studios, London, England from January-July 1975. Digitally

remastered by Doug Sax (The Mastering Lab, Los Angeles,

California).


The breakthrough success of DARK SIDE OF THE

MOON made WISH YOU WERE HERE a crucial follow-up in

strictly commercial terms. Further pressure came from it being

Pink Floyd's first recording for a new label, Columbia. Yet the

demands on the band only provided Roger Waters with more

fodder for his lyrics, which glanced at the band's roots as well as

their new responsibilities. The mechanized throb of a VCS3

synthesizer, fed through a repeat-echo unit, signals the opening

bars of "Welcome To The Machine," a diatribe against an

industry more concerned with money than creative music-

making. "Have A Cigar" further establishes Waters' contempt by

bringing in singer Roy Harper to play the role of a "faceless suit,"

who none-too-innocently asks, "Which one's Pink?" The

remaining songs indirectly look back to the first casualty of Pink

Floyd's growing fame, the group's founder, Syd Barrett. The 20-

minute-plus "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" has its roots in

earlier pieces like "Atom Heart Mother Suite" and "Echoes." But

rather than just another Floydian soundscape, its lyrics make it a

paean to Barrett's genius and a requiem for his subsequent

breakdown. The first five of the song's nine movements open the

album with sax player Dick Parry wailing as effectively as he did

on DARK SIDE. The final four sections, which close the album,

form a reprise that starts with the sound of wind and David

Gilmour's guitar screaming and crying. The band then settles

into a laid-back jam that ends with Richard Wright's billowing

synth delicately fading out. The title track deals also with Barrett,

as well as the tension the idealist Waters was feeling in battling

the greed that surrounded the band's success. The themes of

disillusionment planted throughout WISH YOU WERE HERE

would eventually sprout full-blown on THE WALL
