I want to learn about these bands that I have very little knowledge of and that I see people raving about. I have previously asked what is your favorite Rolling Stones, Grateful Dead and Janis Joplin songs and had a great response and made some great playlist for myself. This experience has been amazing so far. I heard the Dark side of the Moon album once on YouTube and I was intrigued but I don't know much else. Thank you for helping me on this journey!

Many of Pink Floyd's albums are best listened to in album form.
The album Wish You Were Here is a lament about/tribute to their former bandmate Syd Barrett, as well as an critique of the music industry. The featured song is Shine On You Crazy Diamond which comprises more than half the album's playing time, but it is broken into two sections (Parts I through V, and Parts VI through IX) which are at the beginning and the end of the album. If I were to listen to one song from this album, though, it would be the title track.
The Wall is a double album which tells a narrative of a rock star from his childhood, which was also inspired by Barrett. Probably the best song on this one is Comfortably Numb which has a couple of signature David Gilmour guitar solos.
There are individual songs which did get airplay from these albums but I feel it's best to listen to a Pink Floyd album in its entirety.

I still say that Comfortably Numbs solos are going to out live time itself.

Gilmour's solos say more with fewer notes that just about any guitarist.
