I have to concur with the general consensus that these are three albums I probably don't need to buy again. I love Floyd to bits but it's odd how over time these are the three records I get least out of. That might just be over-exposure although The Wall I've always found a bit of a turgid slog. Part of me hopes they reform because there's a core soul about them that's uplifting, emotional and optimistic. You can see it in Waters' regret-guilt over Syd and recently Dave's genuine upset over Wright. So much middle-class repression that just needs exorcising and by jiminy we need a bit of optimism right now.
I think if they could do it it would be immense.
