A lot of people are going to try to be alternative and suggest you start with a more obscure album. My advice would be not to listen to them - doing so can be an alienating experience and put you off a band.
With that in mind, start with The Dark Side of the Moon. It's their most famous album (and my favourite album!), so you're in safe hands with this one.
Once you've familiarised yourself with DSotM, move on to The Wall. This one is mostly the brainchild of Pink Floyd's bassist and main songwriter (until he left in 1985) Roger Waters. It is a semi-autobiographical rock opera with a great story and some great songs to boot. It can be quite a daunting listen at first, so tackle it in chunks and use this guide to help you through the story.
After The Wall, the final definitive step you can take is to listen to Wish You Were Here. You'll find a lot of people that revere this album as their best, and one can see why - it has great songwriting, powerful lyrics and interesting (but very 70's!) production.
Once you've listened to all three of these albums, your next step is entirely up to you. Want to hear Pink Floyd's first and only "psychedelic" album with founding father and acid casualty Syd Barrett? Listen to Piper at the Gates of Dawn.
Do you want to hear Pink Floyd at their softest and most pastoral? Spin Atom Heart Mother, with a 24-minute long title track featuring a full brass ensemble.
Pink Floyd's most varied album, you ask? Dark Side wins that distinction IMO, but Meddle comes a close second. Pay particular attraction to the track Echoes - it's stunning.
Or, alternatively, you can work your way through the discography from beginning to end. Doing so will help you see the band's progression in style over time. Whatever choice you make, you're delving into an incredible band, so enjoy!
