      The Wall is my favorite album of all time, but DSOTM is still special. I only remember seeing two album covers for the first time - Sgt Pepper, and DSOTM.

      Back in the 70s and 80s, I worked in record stores, and DSOTM sold multiple times, every single day, even though it had been out for years, and they had three subsequent albums. I knew people who played it every day, and had to buy a new copy every year. I knew plenty of people who came to love music and record collecting after they first heard DSOTM, and it became their favorite album. It changed lots of lives.

          Not bad, but not their very best. The Big 4: DSOTM, WYWH, Animals, The Wall are the peak with Meddle and The Final Cut as Honorable Mentions.

            Coincidentally, I just listened to something vaguely floydy today. Tangerine Dream’s first album. Electronic Meditations.

            Then we must agree to disagree.

            WYWH, yeah sure, on my top 5 list. And meddle, sure. And ummagumma and zabriski point.

            But ya, those others, not so much.

            That said.

            Who do you like that’s modern with a similar vibe? Some of M83, BOC for me maybe
