Necromancer

Maybe a little..Its still a Floyd classic though, it has its place.

Howard the Duck

I think "The Wall" is great, but it would have made an awesome single album.

i've been lurking for so long into this thread and not a single posts of their top 10 important albums reach my taste. sorry.

Erm, can't really list these albums in order, but here are some that have impacted me in one way or another. I also believe that I've posted here before, but as I remember my taste was absolutely horrific. Thought I'd do an update

Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
Still remains one of my favorite albums of all time. The lyrics on here are ridiculously universal and almost anyone can relate with them.


Aphex Twin - Richard D. James Album
Looove Aphex Twin. This album really opened my eyes to what electronic music is capable of. With ambient pieces one minute then acid house the next, what's not to love?


Black Moth Super Rainbow - Dandelion Gum
One of the more recent artists I've been getting into. This album will knock you on your ass and take you to the end of the rainbow if you let it. Not much albums can do that for me


Shpongle - Ineffable Mysteries From Shpongleland
The titles says it all, pretty mind blowing stuff

David Bowie - Low
A pretty moody album. Listening to this you could tell he was experimenting with his sound i.e.(What in the World). For me this album is a stand out for the fact that it could be listened to in any type of mood and come off as great.


Animal Collective - Strawberry Jam
One of the happiest sounding album I've ever heard. Great use of schizophrenic electronica along with a polethra of other sound effects with interesting and to some extent nonsensical lyrics/phrases thrown in. I really love this album


A Tribe Called Quest - The Low End Theory
If Aphex Twin's Richard D. James album introduced me electronica then The Low End Theory did the same for me with hip-hop. Q-Tips flow on here are great and rivals many other hip-hop artists out there. The use of samples on here are great to, primarily jazz

That's why it's important to them and not you.

I have to agree on "The Wall" is it a bad album... not really. However my issue with is I think of it in context to the Movie was made about it. Now, I think in this case the songs work well within the context of the movie, you get the visuals that are required to truely appreciate the songs in all their glory. Within the movie they are great as they help move along and tell the story in a great way. Now take away the visual aspect of it all, and you are left with a series of songs on there own... Now as an album, without the visuals to go with it, it just doesn't work the same for me.

I think if they were to cut down the album to a single disc, it would be a more fulfilling experience to me. It just has so many songs that feel like filler to without the video to go with it, the songs by themselves are not that strong a lot of the time.

It is in my opinion Pink Floyd's most overrated album because of that.
