Sorry, I did a baker's dozen. This reminds me of how much I have loved Pink Floyd and how important it is has been to my life. Of any band, this comes closest to the soundtrack of my life (been into Pink Floyd since very young) and it must have been the most important to me band and resonates with me as deeply, or actually more deeply, than ever now.

- Astronomy Domine (off The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, 1967)
- Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun (A Saucerful of Secrets, 1968)
- Cirrus Minor (off More, 1969)
- Sysyphus (off Ummagumma, 1969)
- Atom Heart Mother (off Atom Heart Mother, 1970)
- Echoes (off Meddle, 1970)
- Fearless (Interpolating "You'll Never Walk Alone") (off Works, released 1983)
- The Embryo (BBC Archives 1970 & 1971, released 2015)
- Childhood's End (off Obscured by Couds, 1972)
- Brain Damage / Eclipse (The Dark Side of the Moon, 1973)
- Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts I-V) (Wish You Were Here, 1975)
- Dogs (Animals, 1977)
- Mother (The Wall, 1979)

I made a playlist of my 13 favourite/ most special to me tracks as mentioned above:

It is quite wondrous going through these topics and revisiting music, especially for me with this one where the music has been so very important to me and I have so many associations with it. I am feeling very nostalgic now. Lovely to share this space with others who have been touched by Floyd.

^ I was a relative latecomer to the timeless music of Pink Floyd. I didn't buy my first Floyd album until 2010/2011 (when I first discovered ProgArchives), and the same applies to Caravan, ELP, Genesis, Jethro Tull, King Crimson, Rush & VDGG too. Embarrassed

My early introduction to prog back in the 1970's was via the Alan Parsons Project, Barclay James Harvest, Camel, Mike Oldfield, Renaissance & Rick Wakeman, although it used to take me a whole month to save up enough pocket money to buy just one album back then. Geek

^ Better late than never, Paul. I thought I might say better never than late when it comes to some of your favourites, but.... Just kidding, and you could easily say the same only more stridently when it comes to music I like. I did not hear King Crimson and VdGG (same with Gentle Giant and many others) until a few years or less before I joined this site that I recall, and that was thanks to the internet. I was at a sci-fi forum and one guy kept on telling me to listen to In the Court, and I finally relented, and it helped change my course of direction when it comes to pastimes.

I actually was into Alan Parsons Project's I Robot before I ever remember getting into Pink Floyd. And I liked Camel's Snow Goose when I was very young. Focus and Gryphon were two others I liked at eight or so. This was thanks to my eldest brother (he by the way is very condescending towards Prog, but then he would not call Pink Floyd Prog, and I tend not to think of it as Prog either). I know when I was nine or so my two favourite albums were Tubeway Army's (with Gary Numan) Replicas and I Robot. And those still have the kinds of qualities in music that I gravitate towards today.

I have you to thank for inadvertently introducing me to the marvellous Art Pop of Julia Holter. I've seen you mention her several times (alongside Chelsea Wolfe and Anna von Hausswolff) and I just happened to see her "Have You in My Wilderness" album in a charity shop last week for the princely sum of just £1, and so, nothing ventured, nothing gained, I bought it without even hearing the album first - based purely on your recommendation - and needless to say, I wasn't disappointed. Smile

* you lucky @*&%$#*!* * ... Wonderful news, so glad to hear .... * you lucky @*&%$#*! *

That Julia Holter album is one of my very favourites of the past decade, and what a find! Very glad to hear that you are satisfied with the purchase. Great value. I don't often buy albums at charity shops simply because we don't have any locally, but I did buy a record some time ago from one that was covered with your Cream (poll you did quite recently), the Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass Whipped Cream & Other Delights one with the glorious cover.

I'm still working on getting most of the essentials out of the way as well (KC, Genesis, GG, ELP, Camel, Renaissance...). As nice as it would be to be knowledgable on the main prog suspects, it's also not fun rushing through things (and if you only have the budget for a couple albums each month, that limits the pace you can go at as well).

Pink Floyd is Pink Floyd, it transcends genre, or almost is its own genre. I agree that Pink Floyd made music (and specific albums) that can be called Prog, but for a lot of people now those albums would sooner be referred to as classic rock if referred to as anything. Some might use terms like art rock, psych rock, concept albums, for the band.   My impression has been that people are more likely to think of acts that made Symphonic Prog like ELP and Yes when you mention the Prog word than Pink Floyd. And that is what Prog particularly meant to me. And my experience, limited though it is, in playing music like say, the Close to the Edge song would be more likely to get a, "Oh, you like Prog" comment than if you were to play "Shine on You Crazy Diamond". It has happened. Thinking about it and remembering back now, the last time I got a "Oh, that's Prog" kind of comment was driving someone while playing King Crimson's Red.

I have sometimes argued that bands are not Prog, specific music is, but I accept that people generally refer to bands as Prog, and in my experience, the very well known Pink Floyd was not referred to people as Prog when talking about it, but other other band were. So I don;t mean saying "it's not Prog", but instead not referring to it as Prog. If you know it, it's enough to recognise that it's Pink Floyd. But if I played it to someone who had some exposure to Prog but didn't know the Pink FLoy track, let's say Echoes, they might well say, "Oh, cool, Prog. Who made that?" Part of it is just that so many people I know were into Pink Floyd that one might be less likely to refer to the genre of the music than if they heard, say, some long The Flower Kings track that they had never heard before.

I haven't asked my brother what kind of music he would refer to Pink Floyd as, but I just never heard him refer to it as Prog despite him loving Pink Floyd music, and when I have played certain music he has called it Prog in a disparaging manner. It comes down to the associations one makes.

Pink Floyd is one of those bands that made Prog but I still don't think "Prog" when the name comes up with people. It does with a band like ELP. If any of that makes any sense.

Pink Floyd is Pink Floyd, it transcends genre, or almost is its own genre. I agree that Pink Floyd made music (and specific albums) that can be called Prog, but for a lot of people now those albums would sooner be referred to as classic rock if referred to as anything. Some might use terms like art rock, psych rock, concept albums, for the band.   My impression has been that people are more likely to think of acts that made Symphonic Prog like ELP and Yes when you mention the Prog word than Pink Floyd. And that is what Prog particularly meant to me. And my experience, limited though it is, in playing music like say, the Close to the Edge song would be more likely to get a, "Oh, you like Prog" comment than if you were to play "Shine on You Crazy Diamond". It has happened. Thinking about it and remembering back now, the last time I got a "Oh, that's Prog" kind of comment was driving someone while playing King Crimson's Red.

I have sometimes argued that bands are not Prog, specific music is, but I accept that people generally refer to bands as Prog, and in my experience, the very well known Pink Floyd was not referred to people as Prog when talking about it, but other other band were. So I don;t mean saying "it's not Prog", but instead not referring to it as Prog. If you know it, it's enough to recognise that it's Pink Floyd. But if I played it to someone who had some exposure to Prog but didn't know the Pink FLoy track, let's say Echoes, they might well say, "Oh, cool, Prog. Who made that?" Part of it is just that so many people I know were into Pink Floyd that one might be less likely to refer to the genre of the music than if they heard, say, some long The Flower Kings track that they had never heard before.

I haven't asked my brother what kind of music he would refer to Pink Floyd as, but I just never heard him refer to it as Prog despite him loving Pink Floyd music, and when I have played certain music he has called it Prog in a disparaging manner. It comes down to the associations one makes.

Pink Floyd is one of those bands that made Prog but I still don't think "Prog" when the name comes up with people. It does with a band like ELP. If any of that makes any sense.

Yeah, I don't think my friends or family really think of Pink Floyd as prog either. But then again, the proggiest thing the average non-fan will be familiar with is Shine On You Crazy Diamond - which is also probably the proggiest song in general a lot of people know. The other PF songs you'll hear on the radio and in public are going to be shorter, more single-friendly songs. But what the average layman thinks PF is or isn't doesn't really change the fact that they are, in fact, prog. It really annoys me when people try to argue that Floyd never truly were prog, even in the 70's. But even in my mind they're a bit separated from the more typical prog suspects I suppose.

I can’t do 10, I haven’t listened to enough of their music…and yet I call myself a fan and included them recently in my top 20 prog acts on another thread 🤓

1. The Wall - Comfortably Numb
2. A Momentary Lapse Of Reason - On The Turning Away
3. Dark Side Of The Moon - The Great Gig In The Sky
4. Wish You Were Here - Shine On You Crazy Diamond Pts I-V
5. The Division Bell - High Hopes

I do also own Animals (but never really “got” it), The Final Cut and The Endless River - I will be honest and say I haven’t played them enough to be able to pick a track from these 3!

I have not listened to Meddle, but know Echoes (from a compilation of the same name) and would be very surprised if this wasn’t my favourite track from it!

I haven’t listened to the rest🫢

I do feel quite bad about this and promise to at least think about trying to rectify this situation 🤣

It's no secret that Pink Floyd are one of the "Big Six" Relics of classic British Prog, so set the controls to LOUD for an explosive eruption of volcanic prog from the ancient Roman amphitheatre in Pompeii. Smile
