The order may switch around slightly depending on the day but this is my ranking as well.
This. I’m a huge fan and making the choice was difficult. I went with wish you were here but next hour I could’ve picked three other albums honestly when my mind changes. My favorite song without question is Dogs from animals
This. So so difficult.
My favorite band when I sixteen used to wear Pink Floyd shirts crossed off with the words "I HATE" written above the Floyd silkscreening. Think Johnny Rotten and Cookie's legendary shirt.
I still struggle with the overplayed factor for Money and usually end up skipping that which is a slight knock for me and Dark Side.

Is Money really that much more overplayed than the others, though? Classic rock stations here in STL have always played every song off it, with Money, Time and Brain Damage/Eclipse being the ones played the most, and Us and Them almost as much.
With me, as I love Phish and don't get the Grateful Dead and a lot of my friends don't understand why.
Sometimes the good getting is in the synthesis of it all rather than the unquestioned pathmaker/source.
This. That being said, you could switch up the top four in any order and be right. I didn't want to go with the most known album, but I have to give it up for Dark Side. Too much of a classic. I would argue it's in the top five albums of the last 50 years for critical importance and bending new paradigms in the music industry.
Yeah, I love me some dead but could never get into Phish. I tried the live albums and studio albums. The only thing I feel from their music is annoyance. Maybe if I would have done balloons in the parking lot at their shows I would have appreciated them more.
This is my point. They are completely different bands with different styles. They both do jamming and have a similar fan culture, but their actual sound is nothing like each other.
Ah, right. Of course. Not really too familiar with the post-Waters stuff beyond a few from Momentary Lapse of Reason and Coming Back to Life.
Probably a combo of it being one of the few Floyd songs I heard a lot on radio or in HS and me not really loving the song enough to get over that hump. I am getting there, but if there is a rmtrack of theirs I will skip it's that. I don't that issue with Time or BitW2.
moment.
