A field guide

Get into Floyd

Piper if you want the beginning. Dark Side if you want the door everyone actually uses.

Pink Floyd does not need another essay about the prism. This is a curated studio spine: early psych, the classic four, then the later Gilmour records. No live sets, no Relics homework.

Start at The Dark Side of the Moon. Or Piper if you came for Barrett.
