What Pink floyd albums have a story?
I recently bought Obscured By Clouds, and upon reading the booklet, I realized there was a little story that went along with the songs. I only own The Wall and Obscured By Clouds, so I was wondering was this album used in a movie, or do more Pink Floyd albums have such a story?

If you have the album Dark Side of the Moon and the movie Wizard of Oz….
you wait until the 3rd roar of the MGM lion, start the cd, and keep the movie on mute- the songs tell a story with the movie.
its pretty amazing.
Dark Side of the Moon is a concept album, so is Animals (its about government corruption) and Wish you were here is another concept album about Syd Barret
The wall the wall the wall
Wish You Were Here ~ more a ‘theme’ than a ’story’ ~ missing Syd, mainly. Same with many of the songs on Dark Side of the Moon…. songs about insanity and loss.
The Wall, Animals, Dark Side of the Moon
Many of Pink Floyd’s albums have some kind of a story. They are known as “concept album’s”. These albums would include all the albums from Dark Side of the Moon to The Final Cut. The album that has the best story is 1979 The Wall. It is somewhat of an autobiography of Roger Water’s life. Also a really great album. All the other albums are based on an idea. For example, Dark Side is mostly about death and the human condition. Animals is basically a social commentary. Wish You Were Here is about Syd Barret and Pink Floyd’s disgust towards the music industry. But I am very glad to hear that people are still interested in quality music, and if possible, buy ALL of their albums. They are all quite amazing.
