Comfortably Numb , Mother , Goodbye Blue Sky , and im not sure of the name of the song but the one that says "Wish you were here" in the song. Are some my favorites.

Get piper at the Gates of Dawn or Relics if you want some Freak Out Psychadelic Rock.
Get Ummaguma or A Saucerful of Secrets if you want some experimental insanity.
Get Meddle for a good mix of dark and light Floyd.
Get Atom Heart Mother for some ominous brooding instrumental bombast.
Get Animals for a perfect concept album that takes you to the bottom and delivers you to ecstacy.
Get Wish You Were Here or Dark Side of the Moon if you want to see "accesible" rock and roll taken to a new height.
Get The Wall for...well, just get The Wall.
Don't get Pink Floyd songs, get Pink Floyd albums.

Echos is a great 2 CD of their greatest hits if you want to hear a variety from all their albums. Plus its got Shine on you Crazy Diamond all put together.
But I have to agree buy albums, and buy the wall first.
On a side note you mentioned Zeppelin and if you want the best of zeppelin you have to buy "How the West Was Won" Its a live 3 CD set, great stuff. Also pick up the zeppelin DVD and be fucking amazed by "since I've Been Loving you"
Some other stuff you might like
TOMMY by the who and alot of other people.(Great album for the stoner crowd)
Anything by the Beatles( I mean anything I have yet to hear a bad Beatles song), but The White album, Magical Mystery Tour, Let it be, and Abby Road are some of my favorites albums.
Harvest by Neil Young, his best album. If you like accoustic stuff.
Creedence Clearwater Revival, get a greatest hits there is one that has a blue cover and has around 20 tracks that is good.
I could go on for a while but I reckon you have more than enough suggestions to last a while. Peace man

man, pink floyd are some wild characters. listen to these guys here, "don't listen to pink floyd songs, listen to pink floyd ALBUMS". this is completely correct as they seem to release concept albums for most of their releases (i mean, at least that's what im thinking, animals, dark side, wish you were here, the wall, meddle, they all seem to have a particular theme that flows through each song - please correct me if im wrong).
but hearing just a few cuts off a pink floyd album is like reading just a few random chapters in a book. you'll never know the story until you read it from start to finish.
for zeppelin, their music changed and progressed with time. my personal favorites are their first 3 albums, very very blues heavy and raw (well, at least the first two). the other two albums i would suggest that would be most "first time listener" friendly would be "houses of the holy" and "physical graffiti", both awesome!!! and don't EVER EVER sleep on their album "presence", what a fuckin album that is! from Achilles last stand - an epic classic jam, to candy store rock - so fucking catchy, "presence" is an album that any self-respecting rock connoisseur should have in his or her collection.
other suggestions i would give would be the band "yes". they have two great albums you should check out which are definitely excellent trip albums, "fragile" and "close to the edge". very intricate and layered out properly. extremely funky for some white boys, unbelievably funky for some white boys.
one more for the record ima spout out randomly would be aerosmith. their early works like their first album (self titled or "featuring dream on", whatever you wanna call it) and toys in the attic are masterpieces in their own rights. very raw, very bluesy, very music, very powerful and above all, very VERY classic. any album including "draw the line" or anything released afterwards is not really worth a listen, so don't waste your time.
oh yeah, also, you might wanna check out a band called "rush" as well. 3 of the most talented musicians you'll ever heard with smart and sophisticated lyrics. true geniuses of our time. check out their first album which is self titled to hear them flex their basic skills as musicians and then proceed to check out albums like "caress of steel", "2112" and "permanent waves" to hear them showcase their full powerhouse sound and progression as artists.
on a side note, someone mentioned "whats your least favorite pink floyd album?" or something to that particular effect. honestly, id have to say it might just be "the wall". its a bit too dramatic and overproduced with theatrics. definitely not saying its a bad album, because it's not a bad album, it has it's moments which are beyond buttery. however, a few good apples can't make the whole barrel kosher. it's a bit overrated and floyd has done much better time and time again, but it's definitely not my favorite.
again! the wall is not a bad album, it's just not the best they could do, either.

I don't mean to bump this thread if I am, just to ask this question. what type of music would Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin be considered, Classic Rock?

Pink Floyd is considered rock, but what style is up for debate. Psychedelia, progressive, experimental, jazz-infused?

Led zeppelin is considered several things "arena rock", "classic rock", "heavy metal"(I know they arent that heavy but at the time they were) Its not really very cool to categorize music tho. so just call it fucking great.
If you are feeling really adventerous you should look into getting a turntable and some albums. At Half-Price-books you can buy 3 or 4 records for what one CD would have cost you, and they sound better. Peace

There is no way you can simply categorize floyd with anyone else. No one came up with music similar to floyd, including themselves. Every album progressed much farther than the previous. In their early days, I believe they called themselves astonomy rock,or something to that effect, becaused they were so obsessed with space. But the wall is sooooo different than say atom heart mother and meddle. So if many of their albums can't even be categorized together, then it is impossible to categorize the band.

As many have said, you don't listen to Floyd songs, you listen to Floyd albums. They do a better job than anyone else of making the songs blend into one another.
Echoes (a compilation) will give you a good idea of what each album is like, then start buying them, one by one. I'd do it chronologically, to witness the evolution first hand, but whatever does it for you.
My favorite Floyd songs:
The Great Gig in the Sky - Dark Side of the Moon Shine on you Crazy Diamond Pt. I - Wish You Were Here Echoes - Meddle
Collect 'em all!
Something weird: just as I was posting this, a guy walked by in the library where I am wearing a Dark Side of The Moon hoodie. I think that's an omen of sorts for you.

Another list of great floyd songs:
Fat Old Sun- Atom Heart Mother Comfortably Numb- Wall Marooned- Division Bell
But I applaud you Cyber Chump because that is the only way to listen to floyd is through the album. Most people don't know that. But instead of listening to the evolution of them when you are first getting into floyd. I think you should begin with the great 4. 1)Dark Side 2)Wish You Were Here 3)Animals 4)The Wall
Because in order to really enjoy Meddle, Atom Heart Mother, and Momentary Lapse of Reason, I think you need to develop an ear and liking for floyd. Then there is the Division Bell. Most people don't like it because it was without Waters, but if you don't think moronically like that and actually listen to it, it is a beautiful album.
Does anybody have any thoughts about the Division Bell?
PS- I was gonna give you a 5 shroom, but I don't have 25 posts yet, maybe when I'm older.

If you ever get a chance watch the DVD of their live performance in Berlin 89/90. It is simply the most incredible performance I could ever imagine a band giving.

I have looked for it on the internet, but couldn't find it, do you know anywhere that has a copy of it?
Also, if you get the chance, go see a tribute band of Pink Floyd. Amazing!!! There is nothing like hearing the music of floyd live. I saw Wish You Were Here last year at Nelson's Ledges in Ohio after munching on 4 g of mushrooms, and they kicked ass. They have the light show and everything. Also that night I saw The Doors and Jimi Hendrix. I highly recommend going to Nelson's Ledges for a festival everyone. A couple hundred acres of cool people on shrooms,acid,and toking lots of weed, with amazing bands, a beach, and a lake, and no cops, ever!!! Great.
Sorry for going off on a tangent there, but I get carried away trying to let people know about this place.

Division Bell is one of my favorites as well, but Animals takes the cake for me. I also love the up-beatness of Meddle and how different it sounds than most other Floyd. It's hard to pick a favorite album because they're all so different. It's like comparing The Beatles to Tool (something I hear people doing often).

Who says that the 2nd half of the wall isn't good. Have you listened to the second half of the wall, or do you just like the song another brick in the wall!!! The second half is better than the first half!!!. It has such great songs as Hey You, Vera, Nobody Home, Comfortably Numb, and The Trial.
Is this an April Fools joke?
If anything, the very earliest shit is the hardest to enjoy because it is extremely psychedelic. If you are going to begin listening to Floyd, listen to it in this order. 1)Dark Side of the Moon 2)Wish You Were Here 3)The Wall 4)Animals 5)The Division Bell 6)Meddle 7)A Momentary Lapse of Reason 8)Atom Heart Mother
Then you can just listen to the other stuff as you please because by the time you can listen to Atom Heart Mother, you can listen to any Floyd and truly enjoy it.

I wish there were more Pink Floyd apreciating guys like you in my area.
I would have to so that instead of just getting Floyd songs, buy their albums.
My personal favorites are:
1.Wish you were Here- Shine on you crazy Diamond Part One 2.Piper at the Gates of Dawn- Matilda Mother 3.Meddle- Echoes 4.Darkside of the Moon- Breathe 5.Atom Heart Mother - Fat Old Sun

Pink Floyd is great, you have to listen to the whole albums. Dark Side of the Moon is quite an emotional roller-coaster when your tripping! The Wall is also great...one of my favorites is Empty Spaces...does anyone know why the whole thing isn't on the album but it is in the movie? its a great song
Zep is my #1 favorite though. some favs are Since Ive Been Lovin You (live versions are sweet) The Lemon Song No Quarter Thats The Way but they are all fantastic

I like pretty much anything that Pink Floyd has ever done. I've tripped on about every Floyd song there is and every one was profound. Even the early experimental stuff is incredible.
After getting everything PF that you can get your hands on, start looking into their solo work. David Gilmour's album "David Gilmour" is an incredible piece of work.
