By the way, which one's Pink?-Pink Floyd reviewed (lyrics, soundtrack)

Top reviews jackhammer... I must admit early on Floyd for me seemed to be one of those bands that, whilst musically solid, with various great songs on each album, but never just had me at a point where I simply thought 'Wow'... I'm a bit of an oddball in that way, given that in one context something will explode my mind, yet in another similar moment would make me say 'meh'.

The closest I get to the wow feeling is the first 3 minutes of 'Hey You'... Numb is exquisite for Gilmour alone...

Dark Side has never done much for me (Blasphemy I hear?) :p Just never captured me... Us and Them is a must-listen but thats about it personally...

Their most complete album for me was Wish You Were Here... The Tribute... Welcome... Cigar... WYWH... This album made me say 'Wow' and is the only full Floyd album to do so for me... The others did grow on me (Particularly Animals) but nothing peaked WYWH...

And sad news about Wright... Often times, Floyd had the best melodic background music that actually helped the rest of the songs A LOT... Sad times indeed.
