Wish You Were Here

Crazy album. The first song is probably the fastest 13 minutes of my life and one of the best prog rock songs ever. Amazing guitar tones all the way through, Gilmour's playing is so locked in for the whole duration of the song and the sax solo at the end is amazing. I love how the whole song, as well as the title track, are just those beautiful meditations dedicated to Syd Barrett. The other songs are maybe not as stunning all the way through as those two, but still contribute beautifully to the grandness of this album. Essential Floyd for sure and really a showing of the band's talent

Shine On and Wish You Were Here just hit so damn hard that poor Machine and Cigars get lost to time even though they are such bangers.

I’m not a huge fan, but this is obviously a solid album. Plus, shine on you crazy diamond is one of the best titles in rock ‘n’ roll history.

Might revisit this review when dark side of the moon inevitably comes up on this list and I can confirm if I’m right that I prefer that album.

Great album, dark sides better.

Thought this was pretty good, but not really great. Given all the praise and accolades it gets, I thought it might be something better. I wasn't necessarily disappointed, just wasn't super impressed. I've been wanting to listen to some more Pink Floyd, as I do like all of their music that I've heard. From this album, I had heard Have a Cigar and Wish You Were Here previously. I like both a lot. The issue for me was that I didn't find the rest to be as good. Shine On was mostly solid and had some really good moments, but the first part was a little meh at times. Welcome to the Machine was probably my least favorite track. There's not much I can say about the album itself that hasn't been discussed for the last several decades. To keep it short, I found parts of the album were on the higher end of good while other parts were simply fine (or a little better). The majority of it was in the good range. Very little on it really struck me as great, though. Overall: 3.75/5

Det har æ aldri hørt før, så det kan æ sikkert høre på, sa Pippi og kom neppe til å høre på det igjen, men det va jo ikke dårlig, bare ikke for mæ.

not sure what i was expecting but it was great. the riffs are awesome and i can see how this was a big influence

Wish You Were Here is an album that I had to listen to a couple times in order for me to draw some understanding from it. It's not as accessible as Dark Side of The Moon by Floyd or even Abbey Road by The Beatles, for its an album that becomes better understood and listened after multiple trials with the album. With that being said I eventually found myself enjoying the album, with the production standing out to me a lot on an album as short in songs as it is.

I can’t really tell if I’d have voted 3 if it wasn’t so iconic or if I seriously like it enough to vote 4 🤔

Does one thing very well. 7/10 22/09/25

Really cool album. Didn’t really care for track 2 or 4 but the rest were fire. 3 was my fav.

Very good but not the best

Really good album, the whole thing has got a great vibe about it and has a good mix of instrumentals and vocals on the tracks. Favorite track on the album was Wish You Were Here.

Not that I really thought Pink Floyd were not good (besides Another Brick in the Wall, which sucks) but I never really gave them a fair try (probably bc of how overplayed the aforementioned song is). My bad! - this album rules.

Banging album

Have a cigar

my name is pink and i’m really glad to meet you

Some days you’re the regular guy on the suit. Some days you’re the guy who is burning alive and forced to attend a business meeting in what appears to be either a vacant movie studio lot or military barracks. Either way, it’s hot, I’m uncomfortable and I’m ready to boomered. I pray that by listening to this album I too can stumble into dirt cheap property and a penchant for being completely oblivious. I think I’ve got point number 2 about halfway sewn up. Shine on You Crazy Diamond (Pts. 1-5) - I knew this as a Mr. Burns expression and believed it to be an original for far too long. Hell, gun to my head, I don’t know if I could’ve spotted the reference before today. What kind of psycho needs this info at gunpoint? And they out Syd Barrett in an asylum. Sad. White boy blues solos all over the front half of this thing. That sounds like an insult, but it really isn’t. Excellent tone and a lot of soul here. I’m not crazy about the main thrust of the song. It’s weird to be this successful band and write about a guy with mental health issues as if he’s dead. Especially when he’s a founding member of the band. That’s kind of icky wnd not explored in that interesting a way to me. I like the industrial outro with the blaring sax. Not a bad track, but I expected more. Welcome to the Machine - Here we go. Eerie, densely layered, and captivating. The lyrics are uhh simple, we’ll say. I think they tell the every day story of dreaming beyond what a simple life offers, only to be pulled into the same vortex we all end up ensnared in. At the sound of the music critics amongst you exhaling sharply and preparing an “errrm actually” through a dry mouth, I will make my exit on this song. Go nuts. Have a Cigar - Ah yes. Cigars. The carcinogenic status symbol of only the most insufferable men. While I do believe in second chances, if you have a photograph of yourself with a cigar and sunglasses at a wedding/graduation; you should be required to perform community service. In the name of taste at the very least. It’s only fair. Fun rock song with the layers that have made this record interesting thus far. Step down from last song, but that’s a high bar. Wish You Were Here - I mean it’s a classic that gets played and played and played and played. It stands up to most of scrutiny even if the melody is ever so slightly obnoxious. I enjoy the lyrics in this one quite a bit even if overplayed. Shine on You Crazy Diamond (Pts. 6-8) - Oh Yeah. This is great. So many interesting musical expressions here. This could’ve been the whole song for me. Ugh I’m feeling contrarian today. I think there is a certain stigma attached to bands that I have heard so much about but not really delved into. So many annoying losers in Pink Floyd t shirts. So much praise from mainstream sources. It’s impossible to come in clear headed. Listening to this record was an experience. The sounds are fully engaging, the instruments are played beautifully and a lot of the ideas are interesting. Minor exploitative vibes from the first and last song as I mentioned, but those songs were sonically gripping. What I’m trying to say (poorly) is that this is a powerhouse of an album. Obviously. It envelopes you in its atmosphere. Is it my favourite atmosphere? No. Is it an incredible feat to have woven such an atmosphere? Definitely. I enjoyed this, which feels sinfully understated considering the ambition, but that’s all I can say. HIGHLIGHTS: Welcome to the Machine, Wish You Were Here, Shine on You Crazy Diamond (Pts. 6-8)

Excellent album, much prog, very instrument

First time I heard this was on my mates Sony Walkman one night as we smoked a spliff and wandered round the streets of north Liverpool looking for mischief! It blew me away and I bought the record soon afterwards. I think it’s one of their best though I usually don’t bother with Welcome to the Machine or Have a Cigar so it loses a star.

Pink Floyd as they are.

I’ve listened to this many times. This time on an airplane so it was kind of hard to hear every sound, so it kinda just sounded like 4 good songs stretched into 40 minutes of waiting.

4.4 - In seiner Gesamtheit natürlich krass, aber ich würde jetzt kein einzelnes Lied zuhause anmachen.

It’s good!

Is this one of the greatest albums ever? Yes Is it completely amazing? Yes Would I give it 5 stars is Shine down your Crazy diamonds were a few minutes shorter and there was another song on it? Yes

Like The Doors I've never sat down and listened to a Pink Floyd album front to back until now. This was a great one to start with. Somehow the band manages to make 6 tracks and about 45 mins worth of music seem to seamlessly fly by. Its an album that doesn't drag on or feel too pretentious given its in the prog genre.

Eines der besten Pink Floyd Alben. Shine on you crazy diamand und Wish you were here! Dazwischen ist auch nicht von schlechten Eltern. Es hat für mich aber auch ein paar Längen, deswegen 1* Abzug.

Somehow I really needed to listen to some classic Pink Floyd today, and this album absolutely delivered.

That saxophone🔥! Interesting to hear a concept album that reflects on fame and the music industry in this way while also being such a heartfelt send up to a fellow band member. Wish You Were Here and pts I-V have been favorites but Welcome to the Machine stood out to me a lot this time. Have a Cigar is fun but probably my least favorite on the album.

I was worried at first about the 44-minute runtime across 5 songs, having never been a fan of psychedelic jam bands. This was a pleasant surprise: the songs are long, but they always feel like they are going somewhere. The artist communicates in longer "paragraphs" of music than we typically see today, and it takes some getting used to. It's a bit like watching The Fellowship of the Ring: quality is all there, and if you're willing to downshift your usual pace, there's a great story to be told. Musicianship on this record is top notch, synths and sax solos included. It's weird and unfamiliar, but never quite unpleasant or overly indulgent. I ended up listening multiple times, and the songs felt shorter every time. This was the first album I'd listened to from Pink Floyd, and now I'm curious about their other ones.

listening to a pink floyd album is always a unique experience, almost like an event. the various layers create an atmosphere that is honestly like no other. highlights: “welcome to the machine” “have a cigar” “wish you were here”

Este álbum es una función que crece y decrece por siempre

A classic

LOVE. Beautiful, harmonic, thought provoking etc, already loved have a cigar but now love title track similarly

Really liked it, like for listening to it once every 6 months or so and say wow this is so cool and rinse and repeat but its amazing. Para mi es una de esas experiencias super bonitas que revives de vez en cuuando. Es como ver ciertas peliculas, las vez una vez, dices wow que increible peli pero no es como cars o monsters inc que las puedes ver 400 veces

Like a sandwich with premium deli meat, accompanied by garden fresh tomatoes, and the finest Dijon and aioli; between two fluffy pieces of white bread. This sandwich has excellent tonality and production value, with exquisite dynamics.

we're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl 💔

Excellent!

Honestly an incredible listening experience. Songs flow well even though I don't understand most of the story they are telling. Wish the two longer songs were split up more.

Sick album – Just so jammy, enjoyed the listen. These guys were so dope.

Almost there

Phew. After TPAB I needed something I could wind down with. Aside from The Soft Bulletin, I can’t think of an album which fits that purpose better than this one. Wish You Were Here was one of the very first albums that I listened to. While I was never crazy over it like I was with OK Computer, I’ve always had a great respect for this album, even if I’m a little dubious of its sincerity. Anyways, on with the music. Yeah. After all these years, it’s still pretty dang good. I can’t think of another album which captures this kind of irreverent atmosphere and sound, and I don’t think there'll ever be one which comes close. The cosmic sound of this music is pretty sweet and gives the album a timeless appeal, though what I really like about it is how effortlessly the album hops between different moods and sounds. It’s oppressive and tragic for the most part, yet there’s a real sense of journey and progression here, which I adore. “Shine On You Crazy Diamond (1 – 5)” is excellent – my favourite song from Pink Floyd. I don’t recall liking the dark synth in the background as much as I now do, and the effortless, directionless guitar solos at the beginning of the track do a great job at setting the scene. The middle part of the song where the guitar riffs kick in is also pretty great, and so is the organ in the background. Not to mention that the lyrics, which are fantastic. I can still sing along to this song years after I last heard it, which is perhaps the best testament to how memorable this song is. The sax outro is beautiful, too. What can I say? This track has everything going for it. One of the few “long songs” to make the format work. The title track needs no introduction and is another song I can’t help but sing along to – great lyrics. I don’t think there’ll ever be a song cooler than “Wish You Were Here”. I’m a big fan of the grizzled, yet very polished and earnest sound. “Shine On You Crazy Diamond (6 – 9)” has been a bit of a slowburn for me over the years, but I’ve come to appreciate it. It loses points for treading the same ground as its predecessor, yet it’s a good song all the same. I like how it takes the same ingredients from SOYCD 1 – 5 and uses them to create an almost entirely different atmosphere. Very epic and grandiose, with a little bit of a rockabilly sound going on. Where it really wins me over is with that excellent break in the song down the middle and the awesome sound it transitions into – very funky. I can’t think of a better send off to the album, really. Man, I’ve been having it easy lately – I don’t need to check the book for why this is in here. It’s Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd. One of the most successful and critically acclaimed albums of all time. Of course it’s worthy of being on the list.

Very good.

A very emotional and timeless record. An album that will be listened to for generations to come. A true classic

Loved the sound though the ear pods. The play, at the start of wish you were here.

I like but don’t love

classic

Much longer than I expected but loving the guitar

only 5 songs and super long Great music and contains one of my favorite songs, "Wish You Were Here", along with "Welcome to the Machine" and "Have a Cigar"

Starting to enjoy songs without much lyrics in them. Melodies can convey more than words can. Really funky beats and synth. Cool vibes.

Iconic. Title track is one of the best tunes ever written. Shine on you crazy diamond is a sprawling space epic and Pink Floyd at the ethereal best. Have a cigar and welcome to the machine are their digs at the music industry and, to be honest, are nowhere near as good as the other 3 (!) tracks on this album. Really hard to rate because when it’s good it’s untouchable but a couple of relative duds in an album of 5 tracks means it can only be a 4 star.

Maybe not something I’d return to, other than the title track, but a good album.

Bueno, descubrí como 70 canciones más gracias al reproductor de spoty

I’m now closer to death but no closer to the truth.

A very Melancholic album by Pink Floyd. It sucks you right in and takes you on a journey about missing a person. It captures those feelings very well and in my eyes the perfect place for solace. Though without any context of what this album is supposed to represent and the things they have been going through at the time of making, it makes it fall rather flat. Especially the two songs "Welcome to the machine" and "Have a cigar" are just okay on their own and mostly just shine because of the story behind them. If looked at for the sole purpose of being against the music industry, there are definitely better songs about that. So it makes sense that when this album came out it wasnt received all to well. Im mostly debating whether or not this is an album I really have to hear before I die. To me the only good reason to listen to this album is "wish you were here". It definitely carries the album but can perfectly exist on its own. Without it, the album would wish it was there..

Excellent album, especially the title track.

Really lovely trip

Surprised how much I enjoyed this and the rating could easily become a 5 in time. Very cohesive

Really liked this! Surprised! Good old fashioned rock n roll.

4.0 rym

pota

The start of my love for Floyd.

this isn't a record in the sense of what the separation of tracks is literally. rather, it is one long composition telling a loose framework of events leading up to its creation. several things are happening in this album that pull the curtain for Pink Floyd as a group. its been done to death what they are talking about and what concepts are displayed. i personally like this more in theory than practice. earlier Pink Floyd with Syd is my style, and that era is a huge theme in this. when it comes to prog rock and ultimately the power of storytelling, this is the meta holy grail. besides the wall, (lol) this basically is the artists showing the audience the truth in a way that can't be censored or delineated by forces above them. without being too on the nose, they are saying that the music industry is not a magical place, but instead a slimy organization that causes individuals within it to make horrible, long lasting decisions. from start to end, you are sucked into the shoes of the band from humble beginnings to gigantic undefinable ends. of course on a technical level, this is probably the best that's ever been made. while seemingly short, its so concise that it never skips a beat, never lulls in silence unnecessarily. styles for the time are lightyears forward as what would be standard in rock for incorporating any influence necessary to tell the story that no one genre can. listening to this zaps you to a period in music where a portal is opened and you have this built in lore that goes with the record and follows the band on tour and adds to it with live experiences. it shatters the expectation of song length, adding debate to what is the best of time versus what goes on the radio. i have tried to be into this particular piece, and i do like all the sum of the parts, but its always been an album that friends and music heads talk about more than i listen to alone. 4/5 because of how relevant this is today. the title track hits home because it is famously about the previous singer, his decline, and the remorse felt after his absence. any musician will attest to this feeling.

I’m not sure I really got the concept of this one (something about the corruption of the music industry I think?), but liked it nonetheless. Wish you were here is an all time song.

Struggling to listen to this. It’s good, but there are events of my life associated with this band and. So I never listen to them. Never listened to the full first or last “shine on you crazy diamond”. Skipped “have a cigar”. I’ve heard that one a lot. I’ve always loved “wish you were here”. Listening again and I still love it. I hate admitting that I like this album. Some of the songs are really overplayed or were where I grew up. The second “shine on” to close the album is really great. I think I’m a third through it and I love it. Vocals just kicked on. No one sounds like Pink Floyd.

I've not listened to this one before, I love pink Floyd, this isn't my favourite but it's quite a nice album listened to altogether

Enkelte partier blir litt langdryge, men på sitt beste er dette et mesterverk. Beste låt: Wish You Were Here

4.25

wonderful, of course

Another top tier album. Almost a 5 but not quite there. All great songs though and will listen to again at some point in time. Have to be in the right mood to listen to it. 8.5/10 (4.25/5)

Really enjoyed it, and I completely see why and how influential it was. Great instrumental and vocals but got a little boring towards the end

Not my favourite Pink Floyd album but still very good. 4 stars or B+.

i liked this a lot! good reading music. wish you were here is great

♫ Listening to "Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Pts. 1-5" by Pink Floyd (Wish You Were Here, 1975) ♫

Fine album.

Classic Pink Floyd

Welcome to the Machine is one of the best songs ever written

One of my favorite band and on top of that, two of my favorite tunes on a great album.

The shine on you’s en wish you were here geweldig. De 2 andere nummers niet zo. Eigenlijk 3.5 maar Wish You Were Here maakt dat het dan toch een 4 is

Long tracks, alot of music and not alot of vocals. I like their sound. I need to listen to them more.

The title track 🔥

Enjoyable. Won’t seek this out on my own, but wouldn’t hate to listen to it again.

Spectacular band.

3,9/5

A classic and a favorite.

A masterpiece and not even my favorite album by Pink Floyd.

Like the vibes and instrumental Fav song - Welcome To The Machine 4/5

LOVE IT. know that isn’t too surprising but first time I’ve actually properly listened to them. Maybe helped by just waking up, having the headphones in and going on a proper journey through all the soundscapes and many, MANY layers to each song. SUCH great production. Enjoyed ‘wish you were here’ the song, but actually my least favourite on the album, which was surprising. Great bookends in the intro and outro too. Great album in so many ways. Excited for the next PF albums on the list now.

Top Three Songs: 1) Shine On You Crazy Diamond Parts 1-5 2) Wish You Were Here 3) Have A Cigar Bottom Three Songs: 1) Shine On You Crazy Diamond Parts 6-9 2) Welcome To The Machine 3) Have A Cigar

This album makes me understand why pot was such a big deal in the 70s.

Loses one star for wankery self indulgence but there's some genuinely inspired guitar playing and very cool song structures.

I do wish the tracks were shorter, but that's prog for you, eh. Obviously good, not sure if I'll save any cos they're long, but I liked it.

I don’t think I’ve ever listened to this album during the day before, and certainly never just with tea and biscuits to imbibe. I still really enjoyed it though. So that’s good.

fairly decent!

Found this strangely melancholy and menacing at the same time. Ot really felt like an opera, no one track stood out (well except maybe the eponymous track) you had to listen to it as a whole. I own both the Wall and Dark side of the moon, but this was different,more subtle, more wounded. It's almost operatic. “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” is broken into two long bookending parts that frame the whole thing, like the overture and finale of an opera. The middle tracks — “Welcome to the Machine,” “Have a Cigar,” and “Wish You Were Here” — are like dramatic arias or scenes, each adding layers to the themes of disillusionment, exploitation, and loss. Loved it.

jeden z lepszych kawałkow shine

Epic landscape, Ennio Morricone style motif, keyboards sounding like horns. There’s sadness, anger and loss in the lyrics before the sax solo brings the love. The last few bars then become corporate and dark sounds begin. Welcome to the Machine… Country blues guitar herald Roy Harper in a big Stetson singing in American accent, Have a Cigar. Title track is angry and spikey. Shine parts 6-9 doesn’t quite echo the majesty of the opening. Brilliant nonetheless.

4.5

3.5 stars: I really like what it stands for conceptually and contextually, but another album I wouldn't just put on to listen to again.

It's a nice listen. For some reason, I sort of didn't want to like it - some kind of prejudice against the idea of Pink Floyd and how they come across - but it's a really nice sounding piece of art.

Mostly sensational but just begins to lose my interest in a couple of places.

I felt the "Crazy Diamond" guitar solos ran long, but the songs in between are all just first tier Floyd...

really good rock album. there's definitely a story here but im not sure what loving the instrumentals as always

Very cool album

Beautiful album, will defiantly listen again

Another classic Floyd album

Just a fantastic album with so many incredible riffs and solos and moments. Pure mood. A scary dream.

Slightly overrated, but ultimately a journey with some truly beautiful songs

Had never listened to this album before. It sure gets noodly!

I suppose my favorite Pink Floyd album. Not sure what else to say about it.

a little less accessible than Dark Side or The Wall, but just as epic and well-built.

4.5/5, such a tight album with some all time songs, great story and commentary, only thing is the last song takes slightly too long

It’s all about Syd, right? “Shine on…” is famously about him, but hearing all the other songs bookended with “shine on” got me thinking the album is a love letter.

An all-timer from the prog rock masters during their peak. None of their other albums can top Dark Side of the Moon, but this comes close, along with The Wall. But that one is so goddamn depressing to listen to, at least this one has a few fun moments amid the darkness. And by that I basically just mean their one fun kinda upbeat song that's still a funky, cynical take on music industry executives. But some of the Shine on You Crazy Diamond sections are fun, too. And though the title track is a somber, melancholic statement on the loss of Syd Barrett, it always struck me as hopeful or at least, accepting of that loss and not in any of the other stages of grief. There's a reason it was rated #18th best rock song of all time; I'd never rank it that high, but people def respond to it. Pink Floyd's early albums are more fun and weird, and their later stuff is less than stellar but their peak concept album phase is them at their best, and this album fires on all cylinders. It's a more than worthy follow up to Dark Side of the Moon, but I will add that I actually play Animals and Atom Heart Mother more than this album. The songs on those two albums are more enjoyable/easier to relisten to than these, at least to me. But I'm sure part of that is having way more fatigue with this album from classic rock radio growing up. Wish You Were Here is a better album than either of those two, though its inclusion on this list is interesting. The Wall is probably more popular/has a bigger cult following and DSOTM is an all-timer, so I'd expect those two to make it over this. But it's not a bad pick!

Must have really been something to have Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd making new music at the same time. Wish You Were Here reminded me of Animals, which I adore! Have a Cigar is a trip.

very sweet of them to dedicate a whole album to their best friend who went insane

hell yeah

Brilliance. Tenderness. I love this album, always have but it makes me sad for Syd's demise.

Complexity arises from simple elements. Those simple elements in the right hands create sublime compounds.

Sounds like guitar and saxophone and a little alien feel. Reminds me of animusic. A little Beatly. Short album. Also reminds me of Alan Parsons.

This album's a real pleasure. I was particularly struck by the mix of synths and analogue instruments on Welcome to the Machine, still managing to sound quite contemporary to me, despite being 50 years old! Amazing foresight, continuing influence, or mere coincidence of the neverending roundabout of musical fashion: you decide!

Very experimental/trippy album - honestly think I liked that more than the actual songs. Regardless, overall a great album and definitely solidifies the vibe of the mid 1970s. 4/5

4.7- Beautiful instrumentation. Key changes, tempo adjustments, the harmonies, it’s all masterful. In my opinion, this album was created for the ears of other musicians. There’s so much happening and so much to acknowledge as well as appreciate, but it’s not too much where you get overwhelmed. HIGHLY recommended headphones. The only thing I’d take off for is the lack of actual vocals, but that’s just Pink Floyd. It’s experimental and can’t be everybody’s cup of tea… like all music. My favorite song was “Have a Cigar”

mmmm classic. Have a Cigar is one of my fave Pink Floyd songs. 4.5

Pre-lisrening, this is an album I enjoy. And not just because of weed. This listen was no different. A good example of a complete album rather than a collection of songs on an album.

6 songs isn’t enough. Only reason it’s not 5 stars

Canny this. Started slow, a bit Dire Straitsy for my liking, but picked up. Have a Cigar was my favourite, possibly bringing back nostalgia from a compilation I had as a kid that had a Foo Fighters cover of it. Can’t see me returning, but it was good. I think I preferred one of the other ones we had, but the fact I cant remember which one it was proves I probably wont be back

I love Pink Floyd and a lot of these songs are awesome. However it also contains a song I’ve always disliked “welcome to the machine”. I hate the droney nature of it. Overall a great listen

No to jest klasyk. Chociaż ja mam problem z progresywnym rockiem i utworami, które trwają rok. Mimo tego Wish you were here jak w liście przebojów trójki: u mnie wysoko, bo to piękny, pełen emocji utwór. 7/10.

En bra vändning för pink floyd, att ha fyra låtar gör det mycket mer fokuserat.

a ouvir. PF é muito chato mas pode ser q mude de ideia

Overall it has a strong take on the instrumentals and feels like a ride to listen. However, lyrically feels very weak apart from the popular boy wish you were here

forever a classic :)

Very good

Ethereal I would say. I understand why it's on this list now. Pink Floyd is a legend for a reason. It's pretty cool to listen to this

The 70s were a wild time for music and these guys really pushed it. The production is remarkable and the patience required of the listener basically forces you to smoke a j, sit back and relax. Not a radio friendly unit shifter: but then Wish You Were Here pops up and shows that they have the ability to drop an absolute banger in amongst the jams. Remarkable.

This is what listenable prog rock sounds like. Experimental within cohesive concepts and overarching themes. This isn't an all-the-time album for me but there's plenty to love from the inspired reflections in the lyricism, fantastic use of early synthwork, and epic overtones.

"Wish You Were Here" may not be the most memorable album of Pink Floyd's career, but it is still very well appreciated for its cohesion in terms of production and lyrics. It falls a little short of the band's great albums, but it is still an excellent work.

Not a bad tune on it! One of my all time favorites and it flows like a novel! "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" is an epic song with depth, insight and substance. "Wish You Were Here" is pushing a Billion Listens! Every song on here has over 70M listens which is a testament to it's longevity and popularity. Half the album still gets airplay on FM and streaming radio. You can't knock the musicianship, the influence and the popularity. This album deserves a spot in the Top 1001 for sure. 4 solid stars.

Another album I'd already listened to... Oh well, at least this one is great. Pink Floyd can be pretty hit and miss for me, but this record and Meddle are pretty undeniable. A beautiful sendoff to one of 60s rock's most mercurial figures. Sometimes I feel like this album sacrifices immediacy for atmosphere, but then I bowled over by the gorgeous melodies both acoustic and synthesized. Great record

Beautiful album

Immaculate first half, great overall atmosphere

Approx. 10 years ago, Wish You Were Here was one of the few songs I learned how to fully play during my short stint as a guitar player

This is a nice follow up to Dark Side of the Moon. Super mellow and slow burning. Not my favorite Pink Floyd album, but it does have two of my favorites, Have a Cigar and the title track. I love the cover art. Normally, I'd give their albums a 5, but this gets a 4. The songs are too long, yet the album is too short. Not sure if that makes sense. I want more.

Another great one by Pink Floyd. Those four notes in Shine On You Crazy Diamond are iconic. Wish You Were Here is such a great song. Just another solid album from these guys.

The title track is the best one on the album. Enjoyed this a lot, but for me it fell just a bit short of the transcendent experience of Dark Side of the Moon.

This used to be my favorite Pink Floyd album, but I've come to discover Animals and Meddle, and it leaves this album paling in comparison. Still, their best that the generator has to offer, for sure.

This was good to listen to in the background and I liked it all. Not my favourite but I appreciated the effort Pink Floyd

So, so you think you can tell? Really great album, Shine on you crazy diamond part 72 is the only thing keeping it from 5 stars.

I think I’m a point in my musical journey where I’m not all that interested in things that, on the surface, prescribe self importance. In our current day and age, if I see enough people talking about a rock album or band being “one of the greatest ever”, I hesitate to fully commit time to listening. This is due to a lot of things. Mainly being just how often non-straight-white-guys are left out of the canon of not only rock, but mainstream music as a whole. It’s kind of a conscious rejection of the Rolling Stone Magazine canon of western music. There are several albums that are left off of this 1089 album list that feel like no brainers considering their importance to non-rock genres of music. (I’m beyond baffled that D’Angelo has one album on this list and it’s not Voodoo). I’m mostly glad that poptimism has more or less beat out rockism in the current zeitgeist. Pink Floyd one of those bands that I could neatly place into this box of overly-praised rock music for me. Stuff that is usually pretty good, but since I don’t have an emotional connection and my favorite artists of today don’t often site as influences on their artistry, I tip toed around them. This group also included groups like Radiohead and The Rolling Stones. But just like Radiohead, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, etc. these groups often more than prove their worth and that they are 100% deserving, at least a little bit, of the heaps of praise that are tossed on them. It’s good, but not as impactful/influential as some would like you to believe. Wish You Were Here is great though. The guitar solos capture emotion better than many other noodlers of yesteryear. This album has way more SONGs than the 5 tracks that are listed here because each weave in and out of different, but related sonic motifs, making the overall runtime just fly by. Nothing drags. The vocals are really great. And to cap it off, the title track is making a really solid case for one of my favorite new-to-me songs of this project so far. It’s good. You got me. This one deserves the love.

Love it!

When I’m in the right mood & environment, I know I’d enjoy this. But I couldn’t listen to this every day. And it would never be a choice to play it. Their music for me has a time & a place. That time is at home in the evening. With narcotics.

einer meiner ersten alben ich liebe es.

Ya lo había escuchado ajjsjs, mis favoritas la primera y la última

8.5/10 A deep cut for love for hx drug use and death of friends mixed with production quality I would get stuck in an elevator for 2 days with.

5 songs and 45 minutes long? Oh boy. But it's not bad. The two 12-13 min songs are complementing the other three songs well. "Wish you were here" is good

в качестве фоновой музыки - отлично

Feb 26th 2025 (Wed) | Day 3 - Fav song: Welcome to the Machine #1970s #1975 #spotify #'25 #feb '25 [4.5*]

What an album - 5 songs but almost 45 minutes, and it was such an adventure listening to all NINE parts of Shine On You Crazy Diamond. I think that this album is great, but it's not for all occasions - you can't really listen to it and party, it's more for when you're in a relaxed mood and want to have this playing in the background.

A classic in all shapes and forms. Explendid atmosphere, performance and production. I don't give it 5 stars because I don't think is perfect, but is almost up there.

I like PF a lot but I find this one a bit smug and dare I say it , a bit boring. Still a 4 though.

Had this one on CD in highschool. Enjoyed it then, and still enjoy it now.

The psychedelic factor definitely takes it up a notch. I was staring at my ceiling and wondering why the walls looked so funny. THAT is why I listen to music.

I feel like I enjoyed the music more than I should have. It was pretty chill and simple. Would have preferred more vocals

periodt, the song ate and i love the track so much but it could do better JKK

Love the funky synth sounds

Another one that I haven't listened to a ton other than Dark Side of the Moon. This one is pretty solid. One or two that I enjoy

The song Wish You Were Here is my favorite Pink Floyd song, love the guitar in it and the way it builds up. The other songs on here were alright. Shine on You Crazy Diamond is good but too long for my tastes. 8/10

This album is sweet. I listened to it as one long song. This is far from my first time listening to it, so I don't have a lot of new listener takes to provide. It's the kind of album you just fall into. It makes me feel like I'm in bed and high. I have a memory of listening to a live performance of this entire album with my friend Dan in his truck. It was almost ten years ago and I remember it, so it must have affected me. Not a lot of individual moments stand out, but the entire thing blends in to one rocking song. "Wish You Were Here" is legendary. 8/10

Great album, almost a 5. I think Animals and Meddle might be better though

Doesn’t quite rise to the level of Dark Side of the Moon or The Wall, but comes close. The title track alone helps push it there and to this day is simply timeless.

Not their best album but still good. The title track is probably the best one.

My favorite Pink Floyd album. They are, generally speaking, not really my jam, but I do listen to this album semi-regularly, especially the title track

This is obviously a pinnacle of the prog/rock genre, and it is beautifully made. Really amazing sounds and progressions. And amazing that this was just a few years after the Beatles. But on the other hand... this is kind of clinical and detached. I feel like I'm watching the prefects put on a concert.

More intentionally ambient than the wall, and more cohesive and shorter (even though I suppose shine on is like 15 minutes lol)

So much beauty in this album. I feel like Welcome to the Machine drags it down just enough to miss out on five stars. But not to worry Pink Floyd will reach that summit.

Hhh

Great album. I knew the title track before but I hadn’t sat down to listen to this album. Needs more listens but a great introduction to Pink Floyd (if necessary).

Have not really listened to much Pink Floyd as had previously dismissed as wanky toss when i was in my punk phase and never really revisited this opinion. Roll forward 30 years or so and its much more up street and very much enjoyed large parts of the album - unfortunately there are some wanky bits like the sax solo - but still happy to give it a solid 4.

Despite the album being languorous, indulgent, bloated, there is such a commitment to it - something completely imperious about this album. I don't think it has the warmth of Dark Side - it feels a lot more clinical. But there is an ambience to be enjoyed, and you can cast aside the pretension of a song in 9 parts. An album which conjures a mood and does it really well. And included one of the greatest tracks of all time, in the title track. It's so close, but it gets to a high four.

Good!

Love this album.

Pretty solid if you’re in the mood for it, which I wasn’t necessarily but I can see why people like it.

Pretty good on a distracted first pass! The shine on first section was brilliant, second section less so (though I enjoyed the fade), title track was nice. Already knew the lore and was a nice tribute. Will relisten with full attention in the future

I think this is relaxing in a way. It reminds me of what it feels like to follow your own path. That it gets lonely but thats is not the reason not to take it. It gets better… The entire -ballad? Should I say?- is a preparation for that. It is an auditory example of the say “good things take time to fester”. You have to be patient. One more thing, it feels somewhat foreign, this feeling, unknown or better yet, unexplored. Yet this is not the first time I have been at this place. It has been quite some time though. That might be my queue, my signal to go on. To start this other new part of my journey and tread lightly, every corner has a new mystery.

This is the second Pink Floyd album that's been generated for me in a four-day span. I can do without the intro, and the outro, but other than that, it's an excellent example of Progressive Rock, and the peak of Pink Floyd. I just wish it was a bit longer. When I use this generator, I need to welcome the machine, and take whatever I get thrown at me. Favorite song: "Wish You Were Here".

Enjoyable prog rock. Standout is the opening first pat of "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" which brings the listener on an ethereal ride. Other standout is the title track which sounds like a more mainstream rock song with the vocals sounding a little like folk 60's singers.

The length of the tracks daunted me at first. But this is a wonderful, relaxing album to listen to. I can see why Pink Floyd has such a legendary status - the album's autobiographical themes gives it power enough to stick out.

A top 3 Floyd album for me. I love "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" and the title track, but not as high on the two other songs. High 4.5 stars

4.5/5. Great record

Loved it

Very remarkable album, I feel I need to listen it once more

It's interesting to comeback to what I thought at age 16 was my favorite PF album, back when I wasn't all that into listening to albums or judged just based on what songs were cool but I was *almost* there in listening to all the songs in an album. It's almost been a decade since (ouch) and it's weird to realize how much I still remember about this album (and also enjoy) but also how much I didn't remember like the smaller details to the instrumentals, particularly the synth work on the Shine on You Crazy Diamond suite orthe foils in Welcome to the Machine. It's the kinds of things that make me realize that there is still a lot that I can dig into these older albums that I didn't realize initially now that I'm more conscious of these things. Anyway, unlike other prog albums I heard before this one is one of the best, maybe it's how emotional and mechanical/space inspired it can be, there's no grand concept beyond being an ode to Sid Barrett and struggles with being a band but it's just really good at acompaning this instrumentals thay fit just what they wanna communicate and I love that about it I'm glad I could return to this one with a fresh outlook on it and still come out of it enjoying it a ton

Could never go wrong with Pink Floyd. Awesome album!

Hell yeah, Pink Floyd. I mostly just like "Wish You Were Here" though.

Great album and vibe from start to finish. A masterclass on what you can do with a very simple chord structure. Not an all time favorite for me, but great nonetheless

I grew up listening to this album and specifically, the title track so it was really good to listen again with grown up ears.

Very much an album listen; it’s just so nicely tied up into a cohesive package. Grew up around this music, so there’s some bias, but I still won’t give it a 5.

👌

Bit of a classic and only Have A Cigar stops it being a five star. Four and a half 😊

The first Pink Floyd album I ever purchased. It was really good great on headphones, especially I don’t think as good as dark side of the moon of the wall but after those two This is MY FAVORITE.

Was kinda expecting this to be a 5 but no dice. The two 12 minute songs was really what hurt it. Also I didn't think the other two songs were phenomenal, but really well done. "Wish You Were Here" is the best song on this album (and one of their best of all time) but that's kinda the only shining moment on this album. Everything else is just kinda meh for me although production wise it is really well put together and sounds good, just didn't connect for me.

I like some Pink Floyd but just not the long, drawn out instrumental pieces....and there are several on here. Shine On is a great piece, once they get to the lyrics. Wish You Were Here is just a fantastic, fantastic piece (and one of my favorite by them). Rating gets bumped up just because of that track alone

Um bom album de prog. Gosto de progressivo e gosto de Pink Floyd. Algumas músicas já tinha ouvido antes, seja em covers, seja as originais. Enfim, muito bom

I don't know why I like this so much more than a lot of other prog/art rock on this list. Maybe nostalgia? Maybe the format? Their most "art" song is split in two to open and close the album. It's a slow introduction, which builds to a more complex piece, then mirrors that on the second half. In the middle are songs that are a bit more "radio friendly," but they are still experimental. overall, I really enjoy this, it's got a couple great songs, and the album as a whole is quite well realized.

Atmospheric and generally pretty excellent

4.4

Maybe it's because I'm drunk and I've been crying for the past hour over an animated film, but I really liked this, and I've tried to like Pink Floyd before. all parts of 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond' were great. The others were kind of whatever on a second listen.

Świetna muzyczna podróż. Żałuję, że mam chujowe słuchawki, chętnie odsłucham ponownie w lepszych warunkach. Płyta moim zdaniem mocna nie tylko muzycznie, ale też tekstowo. Pierwsza część "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" to dla mnie absolutny sztos (5/5), potem nie czułem już aż takiego zachwytu, ale dalej solid. Mocne 4 i czekam na inne płyty Floydów.

Wish You Were Here (song) is among my favorites. Shine On You Crazy Diamond (all parts) are tutorials in guitar creativity and excellence.

Not my favorite Pink Floyd album, but dang is it good.

A deeply bitter and paranoid album, which contains a stark beauty for all that. Knowing the history behind Shine On You Crazy Diamond makes it hit that much harder.

“Wish you were her”…how many of these is he going to send?

seems it was actually pretty decent. Will listen again

A very good album, with a mostly instrumental song beginning the album and closing the album. Standout track: Wish You Were Here

The opening songs and wish you were here were great, the rest just alright. Good album though

Dark Side was one of the first albums served through this site, in the first couple of weeks I was doing this alone. At the time I gave it a 4 - thought I needed to leave room in the ceiling. I would give it a 5 now. I really like prog rock, through composed stuff, and albums that hang together beyond individual hits. I didn’t realize how much of a full album band Pink Floyd is, probably why I never really “got” them. They’re kind of the perfect band for this process of slowing down to listen to the whole thing. Maybe I’ll end up reranking this as well, enjoyed this a lot - man I love the title track - but didn’t really enjoy this as much as Darkside.

Not Dark Side of the Moon but still quite good.

4 stars for wish you were here the song, flawless, no notes. the rest was aight

Vibes

An experience that really requires listening to uninterrupted in one sitting. Has peaks and valleys but the overall experience is quite good. I do think it would be better without the middle track.

Wish You Were Here is not the best Pink Floyd album. But it is the most accessible of all Pink Floyd albums. It consists of four songs; and three of them became FM radio staples (Welcome to the Machine, Have a Cigar, and Wish You Were Here). The fourth song (Shine on You Crazy Diamond) is 26 minutes long, and is wisely split into two tracks that bookend the album. Conceptually, Wish You Were Here is also one of the least dense Floyd records. The songs are split between sorrowful odes to their fallen leader, Syd Barrett (SOYCD and the title track), and scathing stabs at the music industry (Welcome & Cigar). The music is engaging; and apart from Shine On, the songs are relatively concise. The tracks about Syd are earnest and heartfelt. The tracks about "the machine" are cold and cynical. But on the whole, the album doesn't overstay its welcome. And if ever Pink Floyd was making deliberate moves for radio, it's here in the title track, and Have a Cigar. Wish You Were Here doesn't have the lingering impact of Dark Side of the Moon, or The Wall; but it is probably the best entry point to Pink Floyd fandom. And that's good enough.

Erreicht nicht ganz die Größe wie andere PF Alben…8/10

I don’t really like Pink Floyd But this was surprisingly good. David Gilmour‘s guitar licks are fantastic. My main criticism would be that “Shine on you crazy diamond” song was awfully long.

the middle 3 songs are my favorite of all of the Pink catalog.

I liked this album a lot. This the 4th album of Pink Floyd's I've listened to. Not as good as "DSotM" though, that one is unbeatable. "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" is incredible and never gets dull. The other songs aren't filler at all. 4 stars for "Wish You Were Here".

Really enjoyed this! About time I listened to the band I likened Coldbones to if anyone over 50 asked about our sound. Definitely some elements we share but this album is a trip and the production is so good. Some super cool panning going on! 45 minutes was about right as well.. Gorillaz should’ve taken note!

Yeah nice. This is cool. Loved all parts of Shine On You Crazy Diamond and the moody themes throughout 🙏🏻

This album has to be listened in its entirety. I hadn't appreciated Pink Floyd as much as they deserve before this. It was atmospheric, a love letter to a former member and probably mental with a belly full of drugs 😂😂 I really liked it, although it's more an experience than something I could just pop on.

Much more of an instrumental album than I realized but very good nonetheless.

The more albums I listen to on here the more I realize how much these rock and roll heads love blues

"Have a Cigar" and "Wish You Were Here" are gorgeous bits of music.

We’re all just a bunch of lost souls in fish bowls. Great top to bottom. My favorite Pink Floyd album.

very long intro quality music

Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts I-V) 4 Welcome to the Machine 4 Have a Cigar 4.3 Wish You Were Here 4.4 Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts VI - IX) 4.2 Score: 4.18

Nice atmospheric and moody. Worked well as an album. Stand-out: Have a Cigar

Classic and timeless

Lit

Wish You Were Here is a belter. Liked Shine On You Crazy Diamond too although a bit long. Gonna give it an extra star for how clean and crisp the quality is.

Roger Waters is the man.

I can see why everyone loves this album, but it still is not my cup of tea. I guess I am that based preferring Radiohead, Queen, and god forbid Linkin Park over Wish You Were Here

Classic

I enjoy listening to Pink Floyd and this is an album I haven't heard before. I liked Welcome to the Machine the best.

Love it. Didn’t think I was a Pink Floyd fan beforehand and maybe I’m still not, but this album is special. Opening track steals the show but the artistry and storytelling on Welcome to the Machine is also remarkable. Essential to listen to this in full, undistracted, and let the music take you.

4.5

Meditative and enjoyable-peaceful

Their creativity, patience, and innovation shine here. They let their music breathe in a way few artists allow. This is an odyssey through space that you can really sell into. Built for a good set of headphones, stars, and maybe some LSD if you’re feeling adventurous.

You can tell when an artist has the sauce, and Pink Floyd has the sauce. Both prog rock jams, Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Pts. 1-5 and Pts. 6-9, are awesome and sound fascinating and feel like a true journey. While Wish You Were Here is a classic, I think I liked Have a Cigar a touch more. Definitely an album you have to commit to the whole thing for, as each song doesn't work too well individually, but if you have the time, then it's a really awesome 45 mins.

This introduction is transcendent. It feels like entering a new world or something. Overall I loved how structured the album was, it had a clear beginning and end with the last track. My fave song off this was Have a Cigar. Felt very bluesy which I love.

Listened to this a few times. Good one to relax to

Allegedly the most enjoyable album Floyd ever recorded with Watrers and Gilmour. Unannounced during the session a Syd Barrett - fat, bald, unrecognisable - walked in to say hello. 'Shine On..' was about him. And then asking the artist next door - Roy Harper - to have a go at the vocal on 'Have a Cigar.' So well his go, it was the take used. Happy days, seventies myth and bonhomie and a cracking record to boot.

yep it's still good. ya gotta hand it to them. i wish that the shine on you crazy diamond parts were broken up into individual tracks for the sake of the current ~streaming era~ but like most things of that ilk, i appreciate that the work is so linked to the original physical format (i.e. a vinyl record)—i think it's a great demonstration of how practical technological limitations influence our conception of something like music. the medium is the message as they say 😳 idk if that makes sense but we can talk about it later lol. fav tracks: have a cigar, wish you were here [i may or may not have teared up while listening to the latter......EMBARRASSING!!!]

yeah that was good. not much else to say i haven't listened to this probably since high school but it still hits

We know this album and the lyrics to all four songs, it’s a sing-a-long from start to finish. Fun listen. Both give it (4.3*s)

There's nothing bad to say about this one, not even the long runtime on all parts of Shine On is negative for me. Nothing else needs to be said. Stellar.

One of the top Pink Floyd albums (post Syd). Little long on the shiny diamonds but a stellar album start to finish. I have always loved "Welcome to the Machine" with its slow mechanical burn. "Have a Cigar" is a fun one with more jabs at the music industry. Title track is the topper...flawless, emotional, and everyone knows every word. Cover art is cool enough to have up on my display shelf...probably some more symbolism of industry deals and lies. Glad to finally see some Floyd on the list...4.25.

Wish You Were Here is nearly flawless in its execution. The worst song on the album is Welcome to Machine which is still a solid song in its own right. While a 20+ minute jam may not be everybody's cup of tea, Shine On You Crazy Diamond might be the best example of a long jam ever. I personally love this album and while I have a lot of personal history with Dark Side or The Wall, Wish You Were Here might be the choice for best Floyd album. It is so enjoyable from start to finish and is a a perfect entry point for anyone hesitant to jump into Pink Floyd's discography. 4.4 stars

This album had mixed reviews upon release but its acclamation has steadily grown. I’m still with those early reviewers, and not sure what the big fuss is about. But… a little fuss is warranted! So I’m rounding up to 4 for the musicality and the strength of its best songs (which are also the most familiar).

Noteworthy songs - 808080808 Magical Dream - Kinda catchy synth, but the rest is bland. Ancodia - Good background noise. Cobra Bora - Actually kind of cool, reminds me of Bomberman Hero. Pacific 202 - N64 vibes, but melody isn't great. Donkey Doctor - Nothing too special, weird ending. 808080808 - Really cool beginning. A little slow in the middle but stays interesting enough. Sunrise - Nothing remarkable. The Fat Shadow - Eerie. Very short.

Wish You Were Here is one of Pink Floyd’s most emotionally resonant albums — a reflective, atmospheric tribute to absence, loss, and the pitfalls of the music industry. It trades some of the grand concept sprawl of The Dark Side of the Moon for a tighter, more personal focus, and it pays off beautifully. “Wish You Were Here” is a standout — haunting in its simplicity, heartfelt without being sentimental. It’s one of the most enduring acoustic tracks in rock history, full of quiet yearning. “Have a Cigar,” on the other hand, brings swagger and satire, poking holes in the industry machine with biting lyrics and a funky, driving groove. While “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” bookends the album with grand ambition, it occasionally drifts a little too far into the ether. Still, when Wish You Were Here is locked in, it’s stunning — thoughtful, mournful, and musically rich. A near-masterpiece with a soul.

Ok, so I'm just going to get 3/4 of the Pink Floyd albums on this list out of the way in one month (and within my first 100 albums). Cool. Anyway, this was better than The Wall but I didn't like it as much as Dark Side of the Moon. Still a solid album, and I do really like the song "Wish You Were Here" just on its own. I think "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" (parts 1-9) is too long, but I generally liked the album as a whole anyway.

the appeal and polarization in pink floyd is that, if they are prog at all, they are the most moderate and instantly digestible prog in existence. all the musical phrases inherit an instantaneousness from their grounding in capital b Blues, and all their cumulative statements inherit a big weighty gravity from their ability to achieve aesthetic/thematic unity and clarity in a way that is readable to just about anyone. in other words, if im being cynical (which i have a slight inclination to be given my loaded history with the band as one of my former favorites and Big Musical Gateways that i fell out of favor with), i could describe the band's style as cribbing from musicians more adventurous and/or More Black then them, and stacking up mountains of credit that they dont really "deserve" due to not actually being either of those things to a degree that will offend common consensus tastes. being less cynical, i enjoyed this revisit of my former favorite album of all time (as a teen) more then i expected , just because even (and maybe especially) in their instantly readable mellow tones, they created a very emotive record that pulls that quality from a variety of well-selected traditions. they are not a flashy band, and that Does have a bit more worth then maybe i thought...it makes all their big lofty ideas feel attainable and approachable, and thus more emotionally immediate. they will likely never be one of my favorite bands again, but here is yet another Day Of Reckoning where i was able to make some peace. at the v least, fun to discover that welcome to the machine is Easily my runaway favorite on the album now...comes the closest to fully recapturing that old vividness

Awesome band!

I like and dislike Pink Floyd. While I probably won't listen to this again anytime soon, I can see why this album is on the list.

One of the best albums out there

Un altro ottimo album, bravi bravi

Solid

Wish it was longer.

Pink Floyd in general, and parts of this album are "wall of sound" music. Everything hits the senses at once. Either you feel delighted or overwhelmed. The other half of this album are some of the most memorable guitar licks of all time. David Gilmour uses the same blues scale as everybody else, but his sounds are like a human being singing a beautiful melody. If you play at all, you've tried "Wish You Were Here". And that's my ONLY problem with the album. The two halves don't go together. It's a jarring switch between them. I've always wished they would have stuck to one concept on the album. So ride me out on a rail, but I can't give it a five.

The algorithm is good to me, blessing me with this album after yesterday's flop. This is really just stellar - it doesn't quite hit the 5 star mark, but only because I have very specific standards for an album to reach that calibre, but this is definitely a 5 star album in general.

Uno de los mejores álbumes del catálogo de Pink Floyd. A pesar de ser un poco más lento que su predecesor (The Dark Side of The Moon), el LP está lleno de las canciones más icónicas de los ingleses como "Shine on you crazy diamond", o la pista homónima. Un trabajo psicodélico sumamente entretenido y atrapante, pero no diría que imprescindible. De todas formas, recomendaría escucharlo.

4/5

It's like watching a movie.

Felt like I was watching a movie with no visuals. A bit repetitive at times but that was my only issue. Really good, really cool. The title song through to the end of the album was 5/5.

I have this one on vinyl but wasn't aware this is a whole album. The star of this one can follow you into your dreams.

Great album

No point on commenting on this one, I suppose. IYKYK :)

It's Pink Floyd.

Pretty good not that good

I liked the number of songs. Nice album cover too. My favorite song was the titular one, the others were good but kind of boring.

Pink Floyd is one of those bands/artists that makes me Super happy I'm doing this 1001 thing. Obviously I know who Pink Floyd are but I never really listened to them before. I wanted to give this a 5 but the long instrumentals were a bit much for me -- they sounded amazing but I think some of their more songy songs are more up my alley. Still really great 8/10

Pretty enjoyable, but I think only because I wasn’t paying close attention 7/10

Like I’ve said many times before, it doesn’t get much more boring than prog rock- but as far as prog goes Pink Floyd is actually pretty enjoyable. I liked this album

By no means a Floyd fan but listened to this a lot. Not sure why. It's quite self indulgent but wish you were here is one of the greatest songs.... ever

Hade höga förhoppningar. Det är bra. Jag är inget superga av långa elektroniska låtar men det här soundet gillar jag mycket.

Honestly really really good, could even be a 5 with more listens and I enjoyed it slightly more then DSOTM 4.5/5

I didn’t actually listen to it all but I don’t even need to because it’s Pink Floyd. Wish you were here is special to me.

Really enjoyed this, not listened to it in ages, love the guitar tone throughout

A classic record. Great recording. I’m not a big fan of Shine on You Crazy Diamond, but the other tracks are to my liking.

Shine On You Crazy Diamond Welcome to the Machine Have a Cigar Wish You Were Here

I enjoyed humming along to this. They don't take their time, but not everything has to fit on a 7", so that's a nice change. Shame about Roger Waters politics! I tried getting my kids into Pink Floyd but they weren't interested. I'm pretty sure adults tried to get me into them too back in the day.

Really enjoyed listening to this all the way through again.

Got better and better as the album progressed.

Just a fun listen, start to finish. Turn it on and let it wash over you. Wake up and go to bed.

Oh by the way, which one’s Pink?

Interesting spun-out songs: very well done.

The sax! OMG! first track 💜

1. banger, 2. meh, 3. bra, 4. meh, 5. bra Overall: 8/10

Is this the best album? Wish You Were Here is in the middle I say this because come on 5 songs and its 45 minutes my second reason why. why I like it a little I love everything but yeah 5 songs and 45 minutes i recommend
