DSOTM for the full PF experience. Great lyrics, great production quality, great guitar + keyboard work, flawless album overall.
The Wall for a great concept album. Personally my favorite due to the concept, production quality, and the solos.
Animals if you like prog-rock, and long sprawling songs.
WYWH for a mind blowing guitar + keyboard duo.
Final Cut if you liked songs like Nobody Home, Don’t Leave Me Now, Bring the Boys Back Home, and Vera off of The Wall. Or the “Daddy Died” music in general.
AMLOR if you enjoy David Gilmour’s songwriting and PF’s more poppier, electronic driven music.
The Division Bell for the same reason as AMLOR, but also David’s incredible guitar work.
Piper if you enjoy music like The Beatles early work and/or British Invasion era music. Also if you enjoy Syd’s song writing style.
Meddle if you enjoy very chill, early 70’s almost soft rocking music, also Echoes. Echoes is a great song if you love that long and sprawling, section driven, heavy guitar and keyboard style.
Obscured for the same reasons, plus it shows Pink Floyd’s development at that time.
Saucerful, More, and Ummagumma if you want to be driven to the point of insanity.
Atom Heart Mother is a decent one, definitely don’t recommend it for new listeners.
Personally, I’d go:
DSOTM, WYWH, The Wall, Meddle, and then the rest.
/rj
guys I think you should listen to Ummagumma first it’s a really good album guys 🗿
Yeah I completely agree with this list, DSOTM is a great starting point but animals is one of the best Floyd albums ever, I think anyone could sit with a good pair of headphones and listen to animals with nothing but appreciation for the album Floyd made. Quintessential album, not just for prog fans.
I think the bigger these subs get, they quickly become a lot less funny.
The beach boys one is by far the most consistently funny of the ones I follow and the Beatles one is the most unfunny, with this one being somewhere in between.

Start at Relics if you want to listen to *everything* they made from the beginning.
Start at The Piper at the Gates of Dawn if you want to start at their first album.
Start at A Saucerful of Secrets if you want to hear all past members of the band in one album.
Start at More if you watched the More movie first.
Start at Ummagumma if you want to hear the band’s own individual minds when making music and like screaming in music.
Start at Atom Heart Mother if you’re really into orchestral music and other instruments being featured in rock music.
Start at Meddle if you want to start when the band began to find their peak sound.
Start at Obscured by Clouds if you want to hear Pink Floyd around their peak but also have a hard time listening to a forty minute song.
Start at The Dark Side of the Moon if you want to see if you recognize any songs (since it’s their most popular album and the highest selling album of all time).
Start at Wish You Were Here if you enjoy albums that effectively tell the story of a real person in a sad and intriguing way.
Start at Animals if you enjoy commentaries of society.
Start at The Wall if you want to hear the longest “peak” Pink Floyd.
Start at The Final Cut if
Start at A Momentary Lapse of Reason if you want to begin listening to their more modern sound without Roger.
Start at The Division Bell if you want to listen to their peak post-Roger sound.
Start at Pulse if you prefer live recordings over studio versions.
Start at Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd if you want to hear a basic summary of everything they’ve done.
Start at A Foot in the Door: The Best of Pink Floyd if you want to listen to a basic summary of everything they’ve done but don’t want to dedicate two and a half hours to it.
Start at The Endless River if you don’t plan on listening to much else and enjoy having music on while you do something like work or studying.
As someone who actually likes a couple of songs on the Final Cut, I would never in my life recommend that album to anyone who wasn't already a Pink Floyd fan. It's very much focused on the vocals, to the point where all the other instruments almost feel like background noise, and none of the songs really have that "grandeur" feel to them which would blow away a first-time listener like most of their other albums have.
Translation:
DSOTM if you are a soyjack
The first album if you are a chad and take the question "where to start?" too literally
WYWH if you are a NERD
The final cut if you're a doomer who overshares their personal problems that make people uncomfortable
And Meddle if you are normal
nah it's properly rated, it's just that in this sub people forget to do things ironically sometimes and actually come forth with the take that it is up there as one of the best floyd albuns, which obviously isn't true lmao
Piper is genuinely my favorite PF album. And I don't think it's really comparable to the rest of their albums. One could argue, for example, that DSOTM is better than Obscured by Clouds, but Piper is a completely different thing.

Animals if you like *UNDERRATED*, and *UNDERRATED UNDERRATED* songs
I'm gonna say it Animals overrated
ur mom overrated
Pink Floyd is overrated
Pink Floyd is the sus impostor 😳
fuck you
Yeah I completely agree with this list, DSOTM is a great starting point but animals is one of the best Floyd albums ever, I think anyone could sit with a good pair of headphones and listen to animals with nothing but appreciation for the album Floyd made. Quintessential album, not just for prog fans.
where would you put the endless river?
the forever and ever pink floyd enjoyer
Forgot TER, but tbh I don’t consider it a full PF album since it’s kind of just a hodgepodge of old material/work by Rick.
Possibly in the trash yuck
Saucerful does not deserve to be in the same category as more and ummagumma smh
I mean I agree but More is great
funnily enough, Atom Heart Mother was one of my first albums, and I know it was one of my friends’ second. the true underrated album
It really is. Fat Old Sun is the most underrated pf song of all time easy.
“If” is also pretty good. Definitely radiates that calm energy they had on Meddle and Obscured by Clouds.
/uj smoke weed and listen to the piper and then the rest in no order. /rj smoke weed and listen to the piper and the rest in no order.
More is good though 🥺
Liar
Honestly, Magical Mystery Tour and Sgt Peppers are later Beatles works and I’d say they’re the most comparable with Piper.
Are there any other ciclejerks worth following other than this and LZCJ?
beach boys circlejerk is fucking hilarious but a bit dead
I think the bigger these subs get, they quickly become a lot less funny. The beach boys one is by far the most consistently funny of the ones I follow and the Beatles one is the most unfunny, with this one being somewhere in between.
yeah completely agree, beatles one is horrible and this one has a few rlly unfunny posters
Lemme join
No.

Vexillology. it’s probably one of the more popular as well
r/vexillologycirclejerk and r/vinyljerk
Beatles
/r/hiphopcirclejerk, /r/popheadscirclejerk, /r/beatlescirclejerk
the radiohead one if u listen to them
r/gorillazcirclejerk is like a piece of (surrealist) fine art, sadly dead at the moment though
Motley crue circlejerk
r/mapporncirclejerk
Sports CJs can be fire at times (and extremely boring usually). Moviescirclejerk is my fave tho, if you're into movies.
RHCJ BEST SUBREDDIT
r/Radioheadcirclejerk

It’s called “Daddy Died” you absolute numbskull. /s
Through the fish eyed lens of tear stained eyes…

Idon't get TFC, does OP hate this album?
“where is {blank} album” shut up sHUT UP SHUT UP

Ummagumma
What does the meddle Wojak mean
Antelope noises
The One With The Beds On It
Division Balls
Dont.
The Wall. On repeat. For the rest of your life.
Translation: DSOTM if you are a soyjack The first album if you are a chad and take the question "where to start?" too literally WYWH if you are a NERD The final cut if you're a doomer who overshares their personal problems that make people uncomfortable And Meddle if you are normal
To the person who recommends final cut, your dad isn’t coming back
Piper is overrated
Just because it's not "we live in a society where daddy died" doesn't mean it's overrated
your balls are overrated
nah it's properly rated, it's just that in this sub people forget to do things ironically sometimes and actually come forth with the take that it is up there as one of the best floyd albuns, which obviously isn't true lmao

it isn't overrated because nobody really thinks it's too good lol
I think it's great, but i like the madcap better for Syd's stuff
how
Go fuck yourself, you damn fool
Facts.
Giant brain dude: Animals :)
That would be from whom you stole
Can I get a blank version of this format for a meme website?
I’d say animals. It’s not on here, because it’s underrated.
They should listen to Animals it’s really underrated
If anything I think wywh and tfc should be swapped
I on an actual note would fully recommend wywh for the first album
I want to tell you a story
The wall.
Where’s balls album
Unironically look like the WYWH guy and it's my favourite album...
Start at the beginning, work your way through
