The Wall was a great concept, and a cool movie, but Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here were both better albums, and possibly Meddle, depending on your mood.
Almost every Floyd fan I've met has hated me or thought I was a lunatic because I like songs from all three eras, instead of picking one era and fervently defending it. The Barrett era -- enough can't be said about "See Emily Play" and "Astronomy Domine." The Waters era... well, that speaks for itself, and is definitely the best of the three. And yes, the Gilmour era had a few gems too, with "Learning to Fly" being the standout (on an otherwise crappy album), but "High Hopes" and "Keep Talking" aren't too bad either, and "Marooned" is a nice little short instrumental with "Grammy-Winning" attached to its name (although, yes, the rest of The Division Bell is rather worthless).
I'm sure you all can tell how much I loved the best-of album, Echoes.
