yeah, "best" is subjective, a matter of perspective.
i admire their body of work for different reasons.
i'll give a shout to meddle for it's simplicity while being
very intense in spots ("echoes" is one of my favorite PF tunes).
it showed what could be accomplished w/ the basic rock instruments of the day.

it's difficult to explain to someone that wasn't around at the time
the culture that floyd themselves were a part of, what the music was designed to do...
which was to enhance...ummm....
the "experiences of the day". they knew this, and played to it.


agree w/ jim, roger was sounding a bit whiny after animals..
although The Wall is still the biggest selling double album
of all time. ask if a person knows "comfortably numb", then ask
if they know what "progressive rock" is.
it's one of the few times prog crossed into the mainstream.
