What about Atom Heart Mother?

From that on PF formed their own kind of slightly progressive, but still easy listening rock. It kinda lacked the progressive elements but it still sounded different and unique.

I wouldnt say easy listening.....that kinda sounds boring

I'd recommend starting from The Wall or The Dark Side of the Moon (I'd prefer The Wall because it's the easiest album) and after those two Wish You Were Here album. Then it would be a good time to check out the other albums. Animals as a first Pink Floyd album can easily destroy the interest in the band, so I'd recommend avoiding that at first.

Mmmm...The wall. At the height of Waters massive ego! Not my favorite album. Dont know what you mean about animals though, it is probably my favorite album by PF, absolutely brilliant.

Edit 2: About the psychedelic Pink Floyd. I think Umma Gumma and Saucerful of Secrets are just a cartfuls of crap. A late 60's yearly 70's psychedelicism for sake of psychedelicism. The psychedelicism doesn't have any function, it's probably have been fun to make but not fun to listen to (unless you dope yourself up so badly that even trance is great, ?hih)

I wasnt a big fan of Umma Gumma, except of course Astronomie Dominie. And whats wrong with being Stoned and listening to Floyd records??? One of my favorite past times

Anyways.....whatever! They rock....I think we agree on that
