The Dark Side of the Moon is almost unquestionably their best album. However, it only slightly trumps the others.
Animals, Wish You Were Here, and The Wall are also incredible.

I love all of them.
As far as the composition of an album goes id vote darkside. Its my favorite floyd album for sure.
They are all insanely good. I LOVE the 80's stuff too, but its a slightly different animal.
I have a hard on for the amazing shit on the division bell, for example.

Its really crazy for me to hear how many people think animals is really that great, I mean, in comparison to the other stuff.
I love animals, but its very dark and it might as well be a roger waters solo record, not that that is a bad thing.
Its just really soupy, and dark gray.

Pipper..barrett really was a masterpiece of a person

I was averaging five grams a day, maybe more. I snorted ten grams in ten minutes once. I guess I had a high tolerance.

Darkside, Piper is also great and is imbedded in my head I've heard it so many times stoned.
"I want to tell you a story" I love Barrett's lyrics with regard to English folklore. I wish he could of made a couple more records with Floyd besides his one song contribution on Saucerful. His solo albums were no where near as good.

My Favorite would have to be Have You Got It Yet?
The songs were made in 66-67 but they weren't released.
Very classic songs written by syd barrett and the song "vegetable man" is about him.
This is the pink floyd sound.
I have them so i'll upload them since there really hard to find. I got them from a site but it was shut down recently.
LINK: Pink Floyd -- Have You Got It Yet
Enjoy!

Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Meddle, Animals, and Division Bell are all my favorites. There are so many good songs and meanings in each album that it's hard to pick a favorite. I love all Floyd. I have 5 gigs of em (47 hours). FLOYD HEAD FOREVER!!!! SHINE ON!!!

He never really had mental illness that is just what the media liked to call it fucking with his life even more.
when he took LSD he realized he didn't like the attention he was getting as a musician. He didn't want to continue a famous lifestyle because he liked a lifestyle without fame. Like when he was 16 and tripping on lsd for the first time and making wonderful music that never made it farther than the band and the bar/club they were playing at.
Many people have claimed he wasn't mentally ill, his sister and some of his other relatives and when you watch the latest interviews of him he obviously isn't mentally ill.
Mental illness didn't take him out of floyd or the music industry, he did.

So your saying Barrett decided to leave Floyd and do the solo albums because he wanted to? Not because of overdoing the LSD and the mental issues that created and not being able to function in the band? Read Saucerful of Secrets the autobiography of the band and it spells it out clearly. I also read elsewhere that he was living at his Mothers house for quite some time and Gilmour would go to see him time to time to make sure he was getting his royalty checks. I highly doubt he was functioning well.

The band kicked him out because his presence was distracting for a commercial band.
I think it was Roger Waters who said that he decided he was never go to play with Syd again when Syd came into the studio with a little tune called "Have You Got It Yet?". He would play the melody and the chords of the song to the band and then he would change them around as the soon as the band started playing with him. So, the band could never sync up with Syd. For the chorus, he would ask "have you got it yet?" and the band was told to yell back "no!". It took them almost an hour to get the joke. They wanted to work on recording another hit and Syd wanted to play a practical joke. To me, it sounds like it could be a cool little song to throw on an album for a minute or two...
On top of that, he would sometimes completely detune his guitar on stage, or play seemingly random chords on his guitar, or not even play at all. Oh, and he wouldn't dress up for stage. Although it drove the band crazy, the crowd would sometimes get into Syd's crazy antics (a crowd in San Francisco went crazy for the detuned guitar).
These are the reasons Syd got kicked out. He was still writing interesting songs when he got kicked out, although they were less commercial sounding. Now, what Syd was doing definitely weird, but was it necessarily insane? It seems like his antics were, at least, deliberate. He had some kind of control. It's just... where do you draw the line from being different from others to being insane? Oh, he was definitely mentally ill as we define it, but just how ill was he really?
That's just what I got out of watching some bios on Youtube and reading his Wikipedia entry...

if he actually did or not i dont think anyone knows except for him, if he even realized it. i recently watched a movie on him where i believe rogers or gilmour was pretty convinced that the lsd has so much of an effect because they thought he was a skitzo..but like i said its all just hearsay. its pretty obvious tho what waters thought he was going through, seeing as Pink from the Wall movie is pretty much based on Syd.
As far as saying he took himself out of Floyd, im sure thats partially true, but im sure not picking him up for practice was the proverbial "boot"

He was definitely doing too much LSD and it was effecting his behaviour but it didn't make him go insane and get schizophrenia. If that happened he probably wouldn't have recorded Barrett and the Madcap Laughs. Its also obvious when you listen to him in interview or recordings in the years after pink floyd.

I only saw Umma Gumma mentioned once here and I'm disappointed all you other trippers never got into the most psychedelic album Floyd did! The first disc has live performances and the second disc is studio stuff. Check out "Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathering in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict" when you're tripping! LOL.

in the interview, they thought the lsd had so much of an effect because he was skitz before he ever started tripping. but like i said no matter what anyone says its all just speculation
