Umma Gumma. Before they really set into a given style.
Such a great slow burn album. Absolutely builds.

The Wall is not only my favorite Pink Floyd album, it's my favorite album of all time.
I was a music history major when it came out, and I studied it like it was a Beethoven symphony. I became convinced that it was a 20th century music masterpiece along the lines of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring, Bartok's Concerto for Orchestra, Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue or Porgy & Bess, Bernstein's West Side Story, Rogers & Hammerstein's South Pacific or Sound of Music, The Beatles Sgt Pepper or Abby Road, etc.
Almost 50 years later, and my opinion still stands.
BTW, Paradoxically, DSOTM is probably the greatest album of all time, from an artistic and influential point of view. I just think The Wall is a masterpiece.
100% agree.

Does Pulse count? If not, I'm having a hard time choosing between The Wall, Division Bell, and DSOTM
I'll allow it since if I could only listen to one PF album on a desert island that would probably be it.

My vote, I remember my dad playing me that and DsotM and I preferred the more psychedelic vibe for the former
Shine On You Crazy Diamond is a masterpiece
-
My answer too. Dark Side is easier to get into, and I preferred it when I first heard both. But going back over the years I think Wish is the better record; I stay wanting to hear it.
Its a tribute to Syd Barrett and a little fuck you to the record industry (Have a Cigar). There's a lot of emotion behind that album and that's what I love about it.

I love the album, but it stands to mention that this was a solo project by Roger Waters. Still, the lineup was stacked, and I loved the energy.
I had no idea it was a solo project, but now that you mention it, yes, it's written big on the cover
And yes, the lineup, the choir, the stage props, I just love it!Pure Pink Floyd would be The Division Bell then.

Atom Heart Mother
I have a soft spot for it, especially the eponymous track - but it's not their best work, but the title song is a great one the way it crests up.
