ER

The weird thing is I looked online and other people said the same thing, "It ain't where it used to be!" I mean....islands don't just get up and waltz somewhere else like that, I have found no maps whatsoever that show Sri Lanka sitting where all my life I always took it for granted it was (due south of  the Indian subcontinent) but I admit it was one of the rare times when I felt some sympathy for the Mandela Effect tinfoil beanie crowd because it puzzled me too. Shrug.

Dang, really? I could swear on a stack of (insert chosen holy book) that Sri Lanka suddenly up and moved a few years ago, and I am obsessed with geography.

Nope, Sri Lanka is still off the eastern coast of Canada, where it's always been.

Once while playing World of Warcraft, it was mentioned that I'd spent time in the Falkland Isles. One of the players went looking for it, thinking it was somewhere off the coast of Kalimdor.

Ah, thanks, you guys are making this former empress of Russia feel so reassured about Sri Lanka that I will put in a good word for you with my husband Jesus.

I remember seeing a classroom globe for sale about ten years ago where it had RHODESIA printed over the country of Zimbabwe 😳

Dark Side of the Moon, or The Wall?

(Guess which one I say...)

For me, it's Wish You Were Here- I'll say you like the Wall.
Animals is also good.

I agree with RC - Wish You Were Here is their peak. Dark Side of the Moon > The Wall.

Dark Side of the Moon is probably the superior album between the two, but I actually prefer The Wall, but then I find I often favor a book or song or movie that isn't considered the maker's best work over one that is. (For instance Eyes Wide Shut is my favorite Kubrick movie, even though it's not his best.)

Wish You Were Here has a couple of songs I like a lot but Pink Floyd almost seems to demand the album be listened to as a whole, a single entity with many bodies conjoined and somehow....

"Well, I mean occasionally it seems to have, how shall one say?"

"Too many notes, Your Majesty?"

"Exactly. Very well put. Too many notes."

PINK FLOYD's best album is Wish You Were Here.  I agree with ER that it almost demands listening in its entirety.  
I suspect ER prefers The Wall as its PINK FLOYD's most Pop record.  That would be my own normal inclination.  
I listen to The Wall more than Dark Side... and Atom Heart Mother more than either!

The Wall was banned in South Africa in 1980 😳

I honestly don't think I have one.
