I remember hearing Another Brick In The Wall on the school bus in 1980 when I was ten years old and INSTANTLY I was taken with Pink Floyd. I have loved them ever since.
Any stories are welcome....

Like most people in the US in the early 70s, it was hearing Money on the radio. Shortly afterwards I bought Dark Side of the Moon (on 8 track). When Wish You Were Here and Animals came out I bought them.
When I had a long commute years later, I would listen to Delicate Sound of Thunder. It helped me get through many long drives home.
Then I started getting into the earlier stuff when I got A Nice Pair (which has Pipers at the Gates of Dawn and Saucerful of Secrets. Getting the decal off the boobs on album took some effort.

I have to agree with Darth Revan 1973 on this question; Dark Side of the Moon sparked my interest in the band, but I started to love Pink Floyd when I heard The Wall.

As cliche as it probably seems, "The Dark Side of the Moon" was what sucked me into the Floyd void. My dad was a big fan of theirs, and he introduced me to quite a few of the bands that are now favorites of mine (The Beatles, Genesis, The Police, etc.). He'd played "The Wall" one night when I was about ten, but I was tired and fell asleep in the car -- the snatches I remembered the next day intrigued me, though. Then a couple of weekends later when I was driving with him he put on "DSotM". Everything about the music and the arrangement of the album clicked perfectly with me -- that was the first time I became obsessed with any kind of music. The rest is history :)

Hi Ya!
As a young lad, some time in the 70's I heard Echoes and that did it for me.
Music lover, good luck!

Good Q....I think the first Floyd song I liked was Money...that bass line
