I'm just getting back into them after a couple of decades.  It's a phenomenal piece of work!
 
And now for something (not quite) completely different...

I keep wanting to hit stop and go on with life, but I just keep listening!  LOL.

I like the period of Floyd production that includes Dark Side, Wish You Were Here and Animals. I listen to those regularly and It's amazing that to me that they hold up musically and lyrically after all these years. There's a lot of other music from the same period that I'm almost embarrassed to listen to, self-indulgent tosh that it was.

Now try Animals.

Dark Side still sounds amazing on an expensive turntable though.  I am fortunate to have one plus the vinyl copy of Dark Side I have is in mint condition. Not one click or plop anywhere.  It sounds ridiculous.
 
I don't care what anyone says either and that is Endless River is also amazing and truly a beautiful production too.  Every time I play it I hear something new.  (CD by the way, not any streaming rubbish either) As Dave Gilmour points out in a very interesting video it is a celebration of the music this time, not the lyrics.  Gilmour's playing on Endless River is some of the best work I have ever heard him do.  Very well thought out as per usual.  Keyboard work on this is also quite special as well.

I have the SACD Dark side of the Moon.  It is great just to lie down in the middle of my room and let it consume me sonically from all sides!  What a ride!

Between my junior and senior years in high school, I got a job with the Army so I could afford a vacation. It was a 1 week job, helping clear out a warehouse.
I bought a ticket to Raleigh to spend a week with my brother the programmer. The first day there, he had to go to work and told me to listen to DSOTM with headphones. Up to that time, all I had heard was 'Money'.
I was blown away.
He also had Umma Gumma and Meddle, so I spent that whole day doing Pink Floyd in the cans.

I love Meddle.  A few great tunes on Obscured too.
 
Hell, it's ALL great

I am so jealous, Chuck. How I wish I could erase the decades of listening to DSoTM and hear it a-fresh today. What a treat that would be!
 
I love discovering bands that I'd never bothered listening to before...a few years ago I watched a documentary about Rush that prompted me to buy some of their albums. Now I am a fan. Especially the older stuff, before they discovered that the threshold knob on a limiter can be set to -60 dB. 
 
I am also enjoying the new remix of Sgt. Pepper. It's almost like hearing it for the first time. Almost. Now, if they'd just apply the same fairy dust to Magical Mystery Tour.

I only really discovered Rush 2 or 3 years ago - I'd always disliked them before that. 
 
I'd always wondered why Voivod, one of my favorite metal bands, wanted to work with producer Terry Brown so badly. Listening to Moving Pictures on the studio monitors helped me understand... All those albums recorded at Morin Heights w/ Brown and engineer Paul Northfield are impeccable.
 
Too bad that when Voivod finally managed to work with Brown they recorded their worst album...
 
Nowadays, I don't listen to pop music that much but I'm slowly learning to appreciate Genesis. I think it's great that I have yet to discover albums such as The Lamb Lies Down and Selling England. I feel lucky - ample supplies of awesome music to discover for the rest of my days, no matter what's being released these days.

I'm constantly buying "new" music that was made in the 60's and 70's.  Lovin' it!
