If any classic rock album is still listened to 100 years from now, it would be this masterpiece.

"Us and Them" is the all-time favorite cut of a good friend who is an even bigger Floyd fan than me. My favorite is Time. David's guitar solo is what initially grabbed me, but the lyrics have taken on greater meaning over the years.
