>>yes, but in 67, the album was rev. it wasnt made for 50 years later it was made for then, and people would have known, just like people know the other psych bands of the time that lasted 4 years, like Love, or 13th floor elevators, great music will endure
Here's what I'm saying -- bands like 13th floor elevators and Love aren't remembered by a huge percentage of the population. Even on a music site like this one, the top number of ratings for Love for any album is under 700 (and I was surprised it was that high), for 13th floor elevators, it's less than 200. For Piper, it's over 2,000. If it wasn't for post-Dark Side Floyd, Piper's numbers would likely be comparable. The music would endure, but for a fairly tiny subset of the music-loving population. (And we'll have to agree to disagree as to whether it's "great". I'd give a "good". It is interesting and worthwhile.)

As for The Wall vs. Piper, the thing that makes post-Dark Side Floyd a great band to me is less Waters than it is Gilmour. That's why I like Dark Side better than The Wall, and Wish You Were Here best of all -- there's more of an even mix between Waters' influence and Gilmour's influence. With The Wall, Waters really starts to dominate, and with Final Cut (my least favorite Floyd album), Waters is just out of control. But I still like The Wall better than Piper.

Different eras, different band. If you like their older style you'll like this more. No doubt this is a classic record, but it never had the staying power of what Pink Floyd achieved later in their career. This isn't the kind of record I can just throw on and enjoy immediately. It's an oddity for me and I have to pay attention when I listen to it. When I am feeling it, it's a really cool album. The Wall I can listen to anytime anywhere and get into, this one doesn't have that equation for me. A lot of what Diva is saying makes sense.

I like both their Barrett psych era and their 70s prog era, but The Wall (and The Final Cut) style are just like... lame

If you cut The Wall down to one disc of its best songs, this would still be a better album, but at least The Wall would then be like a 4/5

Yeah but cutting it down to one disc makes the story as coherent as American Idiot. Listen to Is there Anybody Out There? Definitive way to listen to The Wall

Aaaaannyway I wishI could find a stereo version of the 16 minute rendition of Interstellar Overdrive. I mean still sounds awesome in mono but I'd prefer to listen to it in stereo

I feel like modern remixes of 60s albums often rob them of their 60s feel
