| Pink Floyd was the ultimate psychedelic band.
They had a lot of good albums but there were what I call
"The Great Four". those were the four albums I feel
were above the rest. Those four albums were: Dark Side of the
Moon (1973), Wish You Were Here (1975), Animals (1977)
and The Wall. Dark Side of the Moon was in
the top 100 in the U.S. for every week, for 16 years. No other
album achieved that. It's quite possible that no other album
ever will. However, the Production on The Wall is just
great. It was one very ambitious project and it's the
best-selling Floyd album of all time. This album contains
"Comfortably Numb", "Run Like Hell",
"Another Brick in the Wall I, II, & III", "In
the Flesh", "Mother" and more. Pink Floyd
was originally going to put out a 3-record set for The Wall album
but decided instead to go with a 2-record set. What would have
been the third record was to become The Final Cut album
(1983). That was also going to be the last Floyd album but after
the breakup, the other three members got back together without
Roger Waters. So I guess the joke was on Roger. All Pink Floyd
is great but the aforementioned four were the best. If you're
searching for just a compilation CD of Floyd, get A
Collection of Great Dance Songs (1981). Which
contains selected songs from the "Great Four". |
