The wall is what made me get into them enough to buy their stuff. We had to watch the video and do writings about what we thought it was about and such in college. I had seen the movie once before and hated it, thought it was totally lame, then I had to pick it apart and it totally changed my view and love for this record. As far as thematic albums go, this is up there with the best. Now best album to start with for a newbie? I never got into the SB Pink Floyd, just love David Gilmour, and that is not the sound I came to love. Though some of it is amazing, not my cup of tea. I think Wish You Were Here is a great place to start than branch out in both directions. Welcome to the Machine must be listened too with the Bass all the way up and as loud as the pictures on your wall allow. If you are really looking to get into them, Echoes is such a great retrospective of their career.

Completely agree about Echoes, one of the best greatest hits I've picked up, and I love how it plays like a mixtape, lol.

HIGHEST recommendation for Nick Mason's new live album "Live At The Roadhouse." HIs Saucerful of Secrets band does all the pre-DSOTM material and to hear it live and mixed properly is great. The band is tight, Nick sounds good on drums, the lead singer sounds good (particularly on the Syd songs). Really dig it. Definitely check it out if you like those pre-Dark Side albums. Also, just nice to have a good live album. It seems like they're becoming relics of the past.

Vinyl and Blu-ray are finally scheduled to arrive tomorrow. Got to see them live and they blew away my expectations. Would love to see them again but this will tide me over.

I wish I had gone to see them. I've seen Waters a few times and Gilmour once, so I really should've taken advantage and seen this. Especially since Mason did so many songs that the others didn't do.

Such a great show! Old Floyd is my favorite Floyd, and they were flawless.
I got lucky and caught the Beacon show at which Roger Waters made an appearance for gong and vocals on "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun." Even Roger said that Nick's band sounded better than they did back in the day.
I got the RSD August Drops release, but I had no idea there was a full album release as well. I'll have to look for this.

I used to see Syd out and about on his bike a lot. Said bicycle did indeed have a basket and a bell that rang.
Here's some samples...
