Piper is one of the most glorious, quintessentially English psychedelic records ever made, and Arnold Layne one of the finest pop/psych singles ever. They started off mind-blowingly excellent - which made the descent to drivel like 'The Final Cut' so marked.
I presonally adore Barrett's post-insanity work almost as much. He really was a unique songwriter and I love his middle-class vocals. He's also a hugely underrated guitarist who was genuinely groundbreaking in his day.

I didn't like Arnold Layne until I heard a version of Gilmour doing it recently with Bowie on vocals.
It was completely superb

I fucking love Floyd, from the very first stuff, through to Division Bell etc.
My favourite is Echoes though, that's got to stand me in good stead.
