I've only just joined this site but couldn't miss an opportunity to reflect on Floyd. They are my favourite band by some margin. I am surprised by the lack of support for wish you were here as favourite album or song. Wish you were here the song and comfortably numb oscillate in my mind as favourite singles. The cheeky Arnold Layne is an under rated classic.
Album wise I feel wish you were here is the most musically complete, dark side of the moon the most thought provoking and animals the most addictive in that i keep want to listening to it more than the others (usually). Meddle for me just has some flat spots but really took them from an interesting band, original, experimental and passionate to the masters of mood and conscience. Each return listen remains a joy.
