This has probably been done before but as I have not previously seen it, please forgive me if it's repetition. I suspect I can guess where the majority of votes will go but I seem to be in a minority in preferring the period between 1969 and 1972. After the whimsical Syd age and before the control and rigid structure of "Dark Side Of The Moon".
(Please indulge me my period headings - had to call them something!)

Voted 69-72, but regretting it already. Should have gone for 67-68.
Over land and under ashes
In the sunlight, see - it flashes
Find a fly and eat his eye
But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
Don't believe in me

not sure whether Refined Progressive is a fitting title, though  - and Animals should really belong to that period rather than the Waters period.
 
BUT
 
between that refined and the spacey/early period, the choice is tough.
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

My reasoning behind placing Animals in that period was that Roger Waters influence was all over it and, therefore, falls in with The Wall period. It is diffuicult to categorise (as we all know only too well) - I had to place the albums where I felt they best fitted, even if people disagreed. The same could be rationalised with Saucerful - Syd's writing credits minimal but still with huge influence on the sound. As I said, please indulge me - I just wanted to know where people's allegiances were.

My fav period: 1968/1970. The most psychedelic.

My real favorite period would be 67-71.

On another hand, the technical apogee is 1972, IMO, with
Pompei

Refined Progressive (73 - 76)

I love all their stuff from Meddle to The Wall equally.

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

The japanese band "Far out" (1973)(early incarnation of "Far east family band") features some guitar solos very reminescent of DSOTM/Time.

The band's best stuff came out of the Refined Progressive period.

Well said! Bootleg live albums from this era are the most space/psychedelic.

Impossible to vote.. Pink Floyd is the ONLY one band which never released a bad album... My favorite is 'The Wall'... but 'Atom Heart Mother', 'Meddle', 'Wish you were Here', 'Animals'... mannnn... hard to vote... my choice is:

1967 - 2006

I like the final cut, so it's not completely unlikely that he does as well :)

I think that film is Floyd's ultimate statement to prog.
