So they are more of an album type band? I've only heard their singles (used to work on radio so I played a lot of their singles) and just kinds got bored of it. Maybe I gotta go through an entire album.

just picking random singles and going for it probably won't give you the effect most people who enjoy the band get out of it because all of PF's most recognizable material that stood the test of time are very much songs that journey into one another. Dark Side of the Moon, The Wall and Animals in particular don't feel quite right when you isolate stuff from them. It's a lot of trippy mid tempo stuff that crests into soaring soulful guitar solos or impactful vocal passages that don't really come off as all that interesting perhaps without context

You definitely don't need to be high to enjoy the band but they're a fusion of prog and psychedelic, which isn't exactly a genre that's easy to just hop into radio hits for and get the big picture. I'm not trying to be snobby either because Pink Floyd is a very accessible example of both of those genres, but it is definitely a more thoughtful kind of music that expects you to chill out and just listen for awhile, which is where the weed stuff comes from. if that doesnt sound appealing maybe its just not for you
