Dont do this. Please dont. The best of Floyd should only be listened to if you are already a fan.
Since Dark Side, most, if not all, of Floyd's albums have been concept and to get the full benefit one should listen to them from start to finish.
The wall is a concept album of epic scope with lots of Roger Water's personal life, history and views in there for good measure. Its the story of a young lad called Pinky who's over protective mother oppressed him, his father died in the war, the schooling was ran by tyranical teachers handy with the cane, all these trauma's were one more "brick" in his inner wall which he ran behind for shelter. Blocked the outside world out, so to speak.
As he grew up Pinky went on to be come a rock star, got married, lived the rock star life of drug use and infidelity, as the story reaches towards the end of part 1 of the album his marriage is in tatters, his drink and drug lifestyle have all taken their toll and he completes his wall and locks himself away from the rest of the world hoping this will cure his issues.
Instead his inner crisis escalates and comes to a head during one concert where he see's himself as a facist dictator. He sets men against fans he considers "unworthy" to be in his audience. Racked with guilt afterwards he places himself on trial with his inner demons, all his bricks, mother, wife, teacher, all come back to haunt him and condem his actions. His inner judge's sentence is to destroy his inner wall and expose his true self to him and the rest of the world.
Sadly the album never tells you what happened to poor Pinky after all that. I'd like to think he made a full recovery from his depression but the album does leave you with the impression that he couldnt take it and Pinky is sadly no longer with us.
The album is very dark. But it is a master class in how concept albums should work. Take 2 hours out of your day, listen to the album and if your interested in knowing more watch the live show Roger has been currently touring with. Its a visual masterpiece.

Dark side was recorded in, what was at the time, groundbreaking quadrophonic sound. The ideal place to listen to the album was in the middle of a room with speakers positioned in each corner. Works really well with a good set of headphones though but dont go for the remastered copy. If you can then the vinyl is the best way to listen to the album.

Thanks pinky, didn't realise it was telling a story. Will pop it on my headphones later and listen properly. Interesting.

I only listen to Floyd on vinyl. My Parents bought me a USB vinyl player two Christmases ago which allows you to record your vinyls to your computer which is that I have done with all my Floyd records.
I can tell you now that remastered/CDs of Floyd sound nothing like their original vinyl counterparts in my opinion anyway.
Personally? Floyd seems most enjoyable to me when I have my headphones on as they are surround sound, crazy loud and led in bed trying to fall asleep.
But as has been said, listen to everything since Dark Side as a full album from start to finish. In fact my favourite 'concept' album is The Final Cut as you can really feel the narrative and how it changes as you listen to each song. Eventually you'll feel (especially with vinyl) that the songs merge into one and it just becomes 45 solid minutes of auditory heaven.
Cheers. !

Tried it and didn't like it.
I think its just not the right...mix of guitars to gay ratio 
Didn't hate it, just didn't enjoy as much as other albums from other artists.
I guess I just pick and choose certain songs |

Yeah I know, songs like Your Possible Pasts/One Of The Few were meant to be on The Wall but as I recall it David Gilmour expressed his distaste to them being included in the album The Final Cut as he thought they weren't good enough for The Wall or The Final Cut. As far as I'm concerned they're fantastic and would haven't have been a good fit for The Wall.
As you said, on The Final Cut there are places in songs which make the hair stand up on the back of my neck and cause me to shiver with amazement every time I listen to them, one springs to mind:
""What happened to the Post-War dream?" Oh Maggie, Maggie what have we done!?"
Fantastic music of which I have yet to hear anything of anywhere near the same calibre. !
