I always seem to receive a different answer. Obviously they had the most commercial success in the period from Dark Side of the Moon - The Wall. But which Pink Floyd era do you think held their greatest creativity/influence on the future of great music?

I think their most creative album is "Ummagumma".
...I might have mentioned that before somewhere

That period. I mean, it really is between that commercial success period and then their really early days. Animals is my favorite album and I like to think that it is the creativity of the album that makes it so. I really enjoy their debut, but I don't think that more abstract necessarily equates to more creative.
As far influence goes, I'm not sure. I guess either their debut or Dark Side of the Moon. _________________
I suspect they were wildly creative from the start until the late 70s, but my preferred era is Meddle - Animals, I can't stand the psychedelic stuff, and The Wall onwards is extremely hit and miss.

Is "Greatest Era" (the thread subject) the same as "greatest creativity/influence on the future of great music" (the question by which you end)? And how "Greatest Era" is defined? In terms of commercial success? greatest creativity? or influence on the future of great music?

I guess it's open ended. Whenever you believe to have had the most progress on their music and the future of music. I wouldn't worry too much on the basis of when there was the most commercial success because there are statistics for that. But if that's the era for you then so be it.
Personally, I would consider the era when they were doing the Ummagumma Live and Live at Pompeii kind of set lists. You know, like pre Dark Side of the Moon and even the stuff onto Dark Side of the Moon. I think that's when doors really started opening up.
Maybe focus on your favorite era. Because that's the time when I would really wanted to have seen them live.
