Boys got the bends!

I always thought of Pink Floyd as Gilmore playing the Blues on guitar being backed by band that sounds like it's from outer space.

I voted for A Saucerful of Secrets as my favorite Pink Floyd album - for the only reason that it has the song "Remember a Day". I only love songs with strong melodies and hooks. I care not for "atmosphere" and "textures".

So I am not a fan of Pink Floyd at all. But Remember a Day is a song I really like.

Piper!! Hands down. A totally awesome album.

Generic, but hands down Dark Side for me

I never heard the blues in his music until after I started playing his riffs myself, out of context of the rest of the band. And while there are many phrases from Albert King and the like, his overall phrasing is not really blues at all. Like his riff for In The Flesh or his crazy creepy riffs in Dogs. There's definitely a blues influence, but "blues" doesn't quite capture all of Gilmour to me.

The Wall, with Dark Side of the Moon as a close second.

Love Gilmour but not a fan of how he "composed" his solos.

I'm surprised More didn't eek out a vote somewhere. The Nile Song is on it. And The Final Cut is very underrated.
