JMO here, the Syd stuff is great if you have patience. I am partial to the string of albums they recorded from around 1971 (maybe '72) up to "Wish You Were Here," especially "Meddle" and "Obscured By Clouds," a not-so-easy to find soundtrack they did...just after Syd went crazy and Gilmour joined the band.
Easily my favorite band, always has been, always will be.
