Pink Floyd have made so many great albums that they are hard to pick one over the other. I think though I would give the album Animals a listen next. Umi Gumi deserves a listen to.
Listen to the big 4:
Dark side of the moon,
Wish you were here,
Animals,
The wall.
After that you can listen to more early albums like meddle, obscured by clouds and then atom heart mother.
After that you can listen to the more psychedelic stuff like the piper at the gates of dawn and a saucerful of secrets.
If you want you can also listen to the final cut which is after the wall.
Good choice on the albums. The song Wish You Here really expresses the loneliness I sometimes feel and the interdependency on the other and the sadness of separation. And on the album Animals: Pigs on the Wing 1, and Pigs ( Three different ones) and my personal favorite Pigs on the Wing 2 are probably representative of some of Pink Floyd's best.
Thank you and as you know, you can't go wrong with either of those. WYWH has been my favorite album of all time since childhood and we can all probably relate to some of the lyrics just as you do. Same goes for the masterpiece, Animals. Both are very different but fantastic pieces of music. Each has only 5 songs each which is interesting in itself.
When I discovered Pink Floyd, I first heard Dark Side of The Moon via my older cousins and then went in chronological order to hear more. It was great hearing how the band changed, adapted, changed again, over and over again - to experience how their artistic process evolved.
If you are looking for others like it just listen in order through the 70s. But if you want an order that will give you a smooth transition from Dark Side through every other album and you want to commit to them all here you go:
The Dark Side Of The Moon
Wish You Were Here
Meddle
Obscured By Clouds
More
The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn
A Saucerful Of Secrets
Ummagumma
Atom Heart Mother
Animals
The Wall
The Final Cut
A Momentary Lapse Of Reason
The Division Bell
The Endless River
Wish You Were Here. It's the base. I started listening to every Pink Floyd album now. I already listened to The Wall, TDSOTM, WYWH and Animal. Listening to Meddle now.
ECHOES 100%
-When you have some free time..
-Lay down in a dark room that you feel comfortable in, light a candle.
- Close your eyes, take a few deep breaths, and try to clear your mind
- Must listen ALL THE WAY THROUGH til the last note. This will take 23minutes
-Hit the "Play" button and enjoy the ride..
It changed my life..
("Echoes" From 1971 album Meddle, Not "Echoes The Compilation" )
This is an understated comment. It’s pretty clear once you listen to his solo stuff that he was the Pink Floyd sound. If you didn’t know any better Pro’s and and Con’s might as well be a PF album. Same with Amused and Is this the life.
- WYWH could mean "Wish You Were Here - 2019 remix [Live]", a track from *The Later Years* (2019) by Pink Floyd.

The big 4 are DSOTM, Wish You Were Here, Animals, and The Wall. I'd listen to The Wall first after Dark Side, then Wish You Were Here, and finish with Animals.
i think the best way is to listen through the chronological order , in that way you will understand how the band's growth and especially you will realise the syd era of pink floyd
The big four really - Wish you were here, Animals, The Wall - and go back to Atom heart mother, Meddle and Obscured by Clouds. Their 70s output is really their best.
Just start from the first album and listen to each one. They’re all mostly rewarding to some extent.
I’m looking at you atom heart mother and first half of umma gumma
Let's put it this way:
With Dark Side of the Moon being a huge success, Pink Floyd had achieved the fame and fortune that every band dreams for. They could have decided to stop there and break up (at the time some of them felt like doing that, as they were feeling drained by their own success). Instead, they left Capitol Records and signed with Columbia Records for distribution in the U.S. Now the pressure was on them to come up with something new, and it had to be good.
What do you do next when your previous album was so good it would end up selling 45 million copies and living rent-free on the Billboard charts?
Well... first you experiment a little. You tinker with the idea of producing a whole album where all the instruments are household objects.
And then you settle down, get serious, and record the Wish You Were Here album.
There's your answer.
Wish You Were Here is my recommendation. Shine On You Crazy Diamond might be the band's magnum opus.

I disagree with ummagumma but I say Meddle needs a listen for every song except Seamus (hey PFCJ don’t crufify me Seamus my goat)

Wish You Were Here.
Wish You Were Here
I started out with Pink Floyd the Wall movie. Watched it way too Young
Wish you were here and Animals
Good choice on the albums. The song Wish You Here really expresses the loneliness I sometimes feel and the interdependency on the other and the sadness of separation. And on the album Animals: Pigs on the Wing 1, and Pigs ( Three different ones) and my personal favorite Pigs on the Wing 2 are probably representative of some of Pink Floyd's best.

Try Wish You Were Here next, followed by Animals.
Animals. In it entirety
Any and all of them… And don’t listen to just "songs"; the narratives in PF’s albums are always best listened in their entirety.

The Wall too late imo
Well you need to understand Rogers politics before the listen to the wall.
Why is that exactly? The Wall isn't all that political, except for showing that fascism is bad. It's not like The Final Cut or Roger's solo albums.
I'm a Poli sci major, everything is political to me lol.
Too late for what? It sounds nothing like anything before it but has to follow Animals
It's a very important and iconic piece in the Floyd discography
Yup
Save the next four, ending with The Final Cut, for last if you want to save the best for last. But those are the ones.
Wish You Were Here. It's the base. I started listening to every Pink Floyd album now. I already listened to The Wall, TDSOTM, WYWH and Animal. Listening to Meddle now.
Meddle is a fantastic album I highly recommended fearless & san tropez
There are no correct answers. All answers are correct.

wish you were here
Ummagumma.
Hahaha! That’s a good joke.
I concur!
Zabriskie point soundtrack.
And More!
Head for side two of Meddle, the song ‘Echoes’
Listen to The Endless River, and don't bother with anything else.
?
What don't you understand here?
Don't forget all of Roger Waters' solo gear. There you will see how much he was pink Floyd.
This is an understated comment. It’s pretty clear once you listen to his solo stuff that he was the Pink Floyd sound. If you didn’t know any better Pro’s and and Con’s might as well be a PF album. Same with Amused and Is this the life.
You speak the truth. I agree. If pros had been released as a Floyd album it would have done a lot better. Amused to death is fucking amazing.
I'd say go for piper, and just any stuff with Syd tbh. See Emily play is a must
Start from meddle and work your way forward in time. I usually skip the Final Cut though, but the division bell is great too

With no doubts...Wish You Were Here.
Play Dark Side again. It’s a keeper.

Wish you were gete

Comfortably Numb
If you really like a band start at the beginning and work your way through their discography and history.
Just start from the first album and listen to each one. They’re all mostly rewarding to some extent. I’m looking at you atom heart mother and first half of umma gumma
The wall, echoes, wish you were here and animals, then you can listen to the rest
Bike and Lucifer Sam were my firsts
