Thanks for your advices guys!
I have listened to other two Pink Floyd songs that I downloaded, Shine On you Crazy Diamond and High Hopes, and they are great. I was thinking of getting Echoes, I saw it in a big music store here. Is it good? or it's better to get every album?
Echoes will just wet your appetite. It is nice to have, but don't stop there. Definitely will show you the range of Floyd tunes from Syd -> Roger -> David.
I would not get Echoes, a lot of people here would agree that it is a horrible album, and a waste of money. Songs are cut short, I wouldn't get that. I would get a real album.

I'd get the Pompeii DVD (directors cut) while you're at it. Shows them in their prime. Very cool. And I agree with Dark Side and Wish You Were Here as a primer. You've probably already heard a bunch of those songs on the radio. I like Piper, but it's a completely different Floyd so I wouldn't recomend it at first. Just download some first.
If you go to this site, you can listen to a lot of their songs. It's a sit promoting their compilation CD Echoes. They let you listen the the entire song!! Check it out.

I hit that link all the time and listen to it at work when I don't have my CDs. They even have videos attached to a lot of the songs.
Thanks for that link, Sadie! I'm listening to Sheep right now, it sounds great.
I just found out that my uncle has the vinyls of Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here, I like to collect vinyl, and tomorrow I'm going to spin those up (did I express that correctly?) and then I'll post my impressions on them.
Let me do a correction: it's not Wish You Were here, but ANIMALS one of the vinyls my uncle has, the other one is Dark Side of the Moon, I just checked it...
I need to get my hands on a vinyl copy of DSOTM. Any suggestions?
Ebay. That's where I got all my vinyls from!
