It is considered THE Floyd album, though when questioned most people seem to have an alternative as their favourite. Wish You Were Here for me personally.
No idea when I began here, was a very long time ago. Previously known as Spirit_of_81. Love cheese, hate the colour of it, this is why it requires some blue in it.
Best album cover bar none. It was one of the first albums I ever bought and I love it to this day. It’s definitely a classic and firmly wedged in my top 5 best.
Edit: listened to it fully through in the car yesterday and the years have taken nothing from it. It’s b£@@dy brilliant.

I don't know if TDSOTM (to give it the full title treatment) is my favourite Floyd album, or even my favourite album of all time . But, it is magnificent, and has really not dated.
Nowadays, I tend to listen just to the odd track in a shuffle, but it deserves the full attention.

Hard to choose between THE run of five, Meddle to The Wall.

Although it isn't my fave Floyd album (that title goes to Animals), its their best work and I love how the songs just blend into each other (i.e. Brain Damage to Eclipse)

Animals is my number one album
Not that keen on DSOTM as far as PF go, Division Bell is seriously underrated.

I thought I'd replied to this, but obviously hadn’t. I often write replies and then decide not to post, so maybe this was one of them.
I was very late to PF, not listening to any of their stuff until about 2010. I don’t know why, as I grew up on prog rock in the 80s. Maybe I was just a bit too late to catch them when they were current.
It’s frightening how fresh their stuff sounds 40-50 years on. I can’t think of another band who’ve achieved that to the same degree. I can’t say I’ve a favourite album, but Comfortably Numb is easily my favourite track. Fresh as a daisy, both the music and the message. Nobody gets close to it these days (from what I’ve heard).
I prefer Gilmour’s Pompeii version, but here’s the one with Walters back in the fold. Enjoy.

I am much the same oddly enough, had zero interest in PF as a youngster, probably because I was the age that was kind of just behind them and we had our own 'fresh' stuff, ballcrap ofc but as teenagers that tends to be the attitude for a lot with music.
I actually remember The wall quite well as it was my first year at senior school, but again steered well clear. In the last 10 years however I've had a great time 'discovering' their stuff.
Home alone tonight and had a bit of a session, Animals, followed by DSOM and then The Wall. Saving Wish You Were Here for tomorrow.
Gonna drop this in because this version always makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck

Kind of depends when you got into Pink Floyd I guess If you remember the early stuff then The Dark Side of the Moon was good - but perhaps not THAT good. Youngsters in their 50s often prefer The Wall or Animals.
I remember a concert at the Hippodrome in Bristol when they played a lot of that stuff which was to be on that album - and their encore, Echos, got by far the best reception of the night

Even though it's a Roger Waters grief fest, i do like The Final Cut.
TFC has sone decent moments on it, the Fletcher Memorial Home and the title track. It would have made more sense to have included When The TIgers Broke Free and they chose the worst song on the album, Not Now JOhn, as the single.
