They did make a movie out of The Wall, as a matter of fact.

I enjoy their albums Dark Side of the Moon and Animals the most of what I've heard and own, which admittedly isn't all too much.

I believe him
Those are great albums /)^3^(\

One come on, you call yourself a PF fan and your favorite song is Another Brick in the Wall pt 2? That's pretty much their most well-known song. 

I love Pink Floyd, especially their work from the "Waters era". Every song and album goes beyond music to become a social commentary. And of course, the composition, playing, and production itself is brilliant. Beautiful and haunting. My favorite albums would have to be The Dark Side of the Moon and Animals.

no, it's ONE of my faves =P
It's just the first favorite I thought of

Ah, man, you beat me to it.

Anyway, there actually really was a movie based off "The Wall". It was more of a montage of clips with very little dialogue set to the music from the album more than an actual movie, though.

Pink Floyd is seriously one of my favorite bands - definitely somewhere in the top 10. Their albums are some of the most impressive ones I've ever listened to.

The Piper at the Gates of Dawn was an incredibly influential for its time, and probalby was the most influential album (along with the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper) of the 1960's. It's also a key example of Pink Floyd's psychedelic, Syd Barrett-fronted era, before they were a really proggy band. The Dark Side of the Moon is an amazingly epic, spine-chilling album that deserves the legacy it gained. Wish You Were Here deserves just as much as praise, with the expressive Shine On You Crazy Diamond suite and the title track, Wish You Were Here (which holds a guitar lick that sounds rather similar to something from a Rod Stewart song). The Wall is just as epic as The Dark Side of the Moon, and it really blew me away the first time I heard it. You have a rock opera - but not just any rock opera - a double-disc rock opera with a thought-provoking and moody storyline, and -- of course -- music that successfully sends you to the world of Pink, the album's main character.

So, yes, I highly respect Pink Floyd for having such an inventiveness in creating albums - an inventiveness that still manages to create a catchy tune here and there.

Apparently it's really crazy (I mean the movie, not the songs, because I knew they were crazy (ahemThe Trialahem)

I love their music and I don't listen to many instrumentals except for theirs (and band music to play along with xP)

XD The Trial was one of my favorite tracks on the album. 

"TEAR DOWN THE WALL!
TEARDOWN THE WALL!
TEAR DOWN THE WALL!"
*BOOM*

"IF YA DONT EATCHA MEAT, YOU WON'T GET ANY PUDDING"

Lol 

I haven't really heard them too much. They're ok.

"HOW CAN YOU HAVE ANY PUDDING IF YOU DON'T EAT YER MEAT?!" 

@ROSMan & Harakou - Yep. That's what Pink Floyd liked to call a "full circle", and that eventually became one of their trademarks. There's also another thing in "The Dark Side of the Moon" that utilizes this technique - the first track, "Speak to Me", starts off with a heartbeat, and at the end of the final track, "Eclipse", you can also hear a heartbeat. That's why they were such masters in the art of album-making.

Today we had the last music lesson of the year and our teacher (who isn't a real teacher, but a member of a rock band!) showed us parts of a pink floyd concert    It was veryy cool!

Cool! What year?

Sadly, when my dad ripped "The Wall" to iTunes, "Another Brick In The Wall (Part 3)" and another son (not sure which) got really messed up. D=

Right now, I'm trying to listen to their entire catalog on YouTube, chronologically. Right now, I'm listening to "Apples and Oranges", the first single they released after "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn", and is sometimes considered one of their most genuinely psychedelic releases.
