Ranking Pink Floyd's Albums Worst to Best

[@Chico50445]

​@@JTCurtisMusic I too wanted to comment how great it was to see you respect what made some people resonate with just about every album. I mentioned I love Endless River and is in my personal top 10(I used to say top 5) because it was the first time I just listened to Pink Floyd with the full attention and took in what kind of musical atmospheres they have to offer. Before that I knew of the band and had nothing against them but never really payed enough attention to appreciate what Money, Another Brick in the Wall, or Wish You Were Here had to offer because I mostly only heard them in public places where I wasn't that focused on the background music. Especially knowing nothing about the band or their music career journey. I've grown to love all of those songs though. Time and Comfortably Numb were the first few songs that made me curious to check them out. Since you didn't mention many people that love The Endless River or that perspective, I was wondering if you've stumbled upon many other fans online or in person who rank it as highly as I do? To further elaborate what it means to me, it was introduced to me through a good friend who's been a huge fan his whole life and he and I listened to The Endless River CD on repeat when it released in 2014, so as of this year in November, it'll be 10 years that I've been a huge fan of the band

[@everythingcomputer]

depending on where in my life i was, the album list changed, BUT Animals is by far the Pinnacle of the Floyd. IMHO

[@flaviopitanga65]

Love Animals too. My favorite ❤ just raw and full of emotions. Simply amazing

[@G30RGI3]

Underrated, tbh

[@syr1964]

Animals and DSOTM rotate as the best Floyd album for me.

[@shaymus_mcfamous8654]

Regardless of how my taste or mood changes, Animals is a go to. It is a winding journey that checks every box, every time. In fact, some of my favorite live performances have been other bands covering the whole album or a song from it, e.g. Les Claypool's Flying Frog Brigade @ House of Blues in Vegas 9/22/02 (it was an aftershow following Phish @ Thomas and Mack Center)

[@terrypussypower]

I saw Pink Floyd play “Animals” and “Wish You Were Here” in their entirety, one after the other, (with “Money” as an encore) in 1977 as a 17 yr old, tripping out of my skull! And all for £3.50! So “Animals” is my go-to Floyd LP! After that it was a rapid decline with “The Wall”….that was so disappointing that album, especially after seeing them in their prime and expecting so much. There’s at least 6 classic tunes on there, but the rest is just filler. It was the pointer to the direction they’d take under Waters’ dictatorship.

[@trumsolon]

To me, both The Final Cut and The Division Bell are underrated and among my very favourite Pink Floyd albums.

[@shasmi93]

The division bell is t underrated. Many people know how amazing that album is. Too me it’s in their top 2.

[@DinoAlberini]

The final cut is musically sub par. Roger Waters shouldn’t have been allowed to “sing”.

[@wyattcole5452]

Final Cut imo is better than division bell and momentary lapse, not a fan of those albums but I do like songs on them. Many Individual songs are better than the ones on Final Cut when I think about it but overall for albums I put them after Final Cut because it’s clear to me there’s something missing. If the better songs of the two were put into one I’d say that album is definitely better than Final Cut but with the overall product the albums don’t feel as enjoyable, emotional or meaningful to me. Edit: I do like Division Bell and think sonically it’s better, and has some better aspects

[@bookhouseboy280]

@ole5452 Agree. A band can't lose a major talent like Waters and not be negatively impacted in a big way. Without him the band lost much of its depth and edge. Like if The Beatles had lost Lennon.

[@stopbunsen]

@@bookhouseboy280 Gilmour's best work also happened when Roger was around. It was like he lost the fire to be creative with his guitar after Roger left. But, they were both better when collaborating with each other, as much as they hated each other.

[@Freepaz710]

Meddle is the best Pink Floyd record for me. It has been in my life for such a long time. I used to have a dream as a kid that would recur every once in a while and there was music set to the dream. The dream was quite beautiful and has many layers to it that I’m still unraveling to this day. It wasn’t until middle school that I started getting heavily into music of new and old and Pink Floyd was a band that I would often hear of. DSOTM was an obvious starting point and I worked my up from there chronologically and loved what I was hearing. It wasn’t until my uncle showed me fearless that I became interested in meddle. I remember listening to the first side of the meddle liking it quite a lot and then when side two came on and echos played, I realized it had been the music from my dream. I couldn’t believe it and since then it has basically become the theme of my life. I’ve loved this series and I can’t wait for whatever comes next!!

[@pinkraven4402]

Honestly, I was shocked with such a harsh take on "The Final Cut". Even if you don't like the album as a whole, there are so many amaaazingly sounding songs. The prodution is amazing, I actually think that Roger's voice is very emotional and personal and MAAAN, the solos, this album contains some of the most heart-wrenching Gilmour's solos ever. "Your Possible Pasts", "The Final Cut", "The Fletcher Memorial Home", "Not Now John", these solos are piercing. Especially the title track, it's such a gargantuanly underrated song ;___; I honestly don't get it, even if one finds the album as a whole lacking, it's DEFINITELY doesn't deserve such a bad rating imo

0:57 19:44 Look Gary, there I am! But seriously, I loved every review. It was fun to go through and to have all the albums laid out in such a fun way for me, and it even got me to reconnect and to appreciate albums I'd given the boot before. Since this series has started, I even went out of my way to get every single album on vinyl. Yes, even Ummagumma. I have a lot of fun stories to tell about how Pink Floyd got me through difficult (or incredible) times, but the one experience I have the fondest memories of was when my mom offered to take me to Dark Side's 50th anniversary show at our local planetarium this past November. Having been born in '98, being far too young to properly experience them live, this was about as close as I could get to going to a live show, so I went. And it was magical. Even if it was just the album with visuals made by the Floyd's theatrical team, it was still such a mesmerizing experience. By the end, as Eclipse was hitting its final peaks, I was in actual tears. I had to compose myself in the bathroom for like 5 minutes lol. This was a fantastic series, JT. From the bottom of my heart, Thank you. ❤

I'm 1955 vintage, I love most Pink Floyd. I didn't really "get" Syd until after Wish you were here. Shine on made me go back and listen to the Syd era, and then I got it. Atom heart the track did it for me when I first heard it in about '70, but like I said I was on an acid trip at the time.

The title track on side 1 may be almost 25 minutes long, but it's such a masterpiece! If, Summer of 68 and Fat Old Song are fantastic songs. Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast is an interesting track but different for what it is. I decided to put Piper at 4 because I have some of my favorite songs off that album. Astronomy Domine, Lucifer Sam, Pow R. Toc H., Interstellar Overdrive and Bike are the highlights for Piper. Such a fantastic album. Some debut albums are very good and are high on a lot of people's different lists, but they were get better with their sound later on. Ranking 5 & 6 was very hard for me because Animals is a fantastic album and it's awesome. However I do agree with you Meddles is a fantastic album! It definitely was perfect and Pink Floyd going the right direction. I actually didn't mind the dog song at all. I might be biased because I have dogs for pets and I love my dogs. I do agree with you on The Wall. It's got a ton of great songs, but there is some filler and it could not be higher than 8. The Division Bell is at 9 only because I love the other 8 more. I gave more credit to Piper than you because some of the highs were so good that I put it as high as 4. I gave A Saucerful of Secrets higher than you at 10 only because the lower albums are either bad or are just solo albums from Gilmour and Waters. The Final Cut is not that great really. And I had the soundtrack album More low because it's a soundtrack album. But I agree about Ummagumma being bad. It's awful and I can't blame the members for saying it's awful.

Man, what a journey. Congratulations, JT.

[@its_cookie_man]

Pink Floyd were pretty much my introduction to music, sure, I've listened to other music in the past when I was a kid, but when I chose by myself to get into music, the first song I listened to was Echoes, back then a 20~ minute long song was insane to me and I immediately loved it, I've never heard anything like it before. Pink Floyd are still my second favorite band (Radiohead managed to dethrone them, but to me they're pretty much equal) and heavily impacted my music taste, they're very important to me. So I decided to also show my own list, like a lot of other people here, along with a few thoughts of mine about each album. 15. More: By far their weakest album imo. It certainly has its moments and there are a lot of interesting styles that the band never really experimented with again. But the production and sequencing is flawed, it's a mixed bag and overall it sounds like the silly little brother of Saucerful. 14. A Momentary Lapse of Reason: Despite it being so low, it's a really great album, I just prefer others over it nowadays. When I first listened to it I really loved it, it was probably one of my favorites, but after that, the next listens were nothing, it had nothing more to offer to me really. Though there are some great tracks here. 13. The Endless River: People really don't understand this album at all and call an *ambient tribute* album a cash grab because they were somehow expecting something more from it. People should accept it for what it is and not whine about how there are better albums than this and just enjoy it for what it's meant to be. Not to mention that the tracks feel somewhat familiar to their older works and really gives the feeling that these are the end credits, it's a great finale for an even greater band. 12. Ummagumma: This album is sooo muuch better than people make it seem to be. When I first listened to it, I despised every single second of it, nowadays I really really like it. Even if people who think music are funky noises coming from a radio that tickle your ears and nothing grander personally hate its sound, they should at least recognize its importance; without Ummagumma, PF would probably break up and be remembered by 4 people as a short lived yet interesting little psychedelic space rock group. The band lost their leader and had to find their new identity and while More came first, the band were self-aware about this being just a soundtrack album and nothing more so it didn't really help. And thus they did the obvious and most logical thing to do: experiment. And each member had to experiment on their own to show what they can deliver. The result is very hit or miss, but this was their first step to creating their new identity which would be completed by AHM and Meddle. I blame this album for turning me into a "pretentious" nerd who likes abstract music. Jokes aside, it unironically opened my third eye and made me realize what music truly is: art in the form of sound, ANY sound, pleasant or dissonant, from an instrument or not, everything has a meaning. The listener should listen carefully to everything (even silence), figure out their meanings and imagine what the music is trying to show. Richard's Sysyphus is genius, Roger knows how to create a wild natural atmosphere, okay, Dave's work here is the best and Nick... He tried. 11. Piper at the Gates of Dawn: A wonky psychedelic fever dreamy fairy tale album. I dig it a lot! 10. The Wall: My relationship with this album was rough but over the years I've grown to accept its more commercial sound instead of true PF sound, the lack of Rick, the few filler tracks that don't contribute to the story, how they did not use What Shall We Do Now, the crazy ending... I think I started to love the album more after I watched the film. It is an incredible album, one of the best concept albums, it does feel like their magnum opus but it's not really that Floyd-y to me. 9. A Saucerful of Secrets: Technically WYWH before WYWH. I love the balance between the goofier side and the dark chaotic spacey sound of it. 8. Obscured by Clouds: Their most underrated album that sadly had the fate to come out in between of Meddle and DSOTM. They really didn't have to go this hard for an OST to a film that no one cared about. 7. The Division Bell: I know I didn't really elaborate that much about my feelings on The Wall, but this is basically the reverse; The Wall's stronger point are the lyrics, TDB's is the music which sounds like Golden Era Floyd, but the concept and lyrics would have been much better if Roger worked on it too. Still love it a lot. 6. The Final Cut: It could be higher. Like Ummagumma, I used to hate it, I didn't get it musically at all even if it was doing exactly what it was supposed to do and I was gaslit by ignorant people who thought this was Roger whining about his daddy for the 325th time. It's much more than that, it's a better concept album than the Wall imo, Roger's voice was never for singing but for emotional delivery and he really is giving it his all here, I just miss Rick, that's my biggest problem, because to me Rick is Pink. But yeah, it actually made me cry a bit. 5. Animals: It's Animals, what can I say. Excellent concept and lyricism, fantastic music, and memed to oblivion on r/pinkfloydcirclejerk. 4. Meddle: The very first album I've ever listened to and the one to finally truly define the identity and sound of the band. 3. Atom Heart Mother: The unsung hero. While Ummagumma was the first step and Meddle the one to finally settle their sound, AHM did all the heavy lifting. Even outside the context of the band, AHM is still quite significant. It's a really bold move, especially back then, to not put any band or album info on the front cover and also make the entire A Side an entire suite. The suite is phenomenal, the middle tracks are beautiful and Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast makes me feel like I'm having a good time eating breakfast with him as if we're friends and the music is lovely there too. When I first listened to this album I had no expectations whatsoever but I immediately fell in love with it and I can even go as far as to say this can easily be my number one favorite PF album. It's just something that I can put on and it will instantly make me feel good with its wholesome atmosphere like Beach Boy's Pet Sounds, Cornilius' Fantasma, KLF's Chill Out, Boards of Canada's Campfire Headphase. I adore Atom Heart Mother, but even without my bias I think this album is very important to the history of the band and one of their best achievements. 2. Dark Side of the Moon: It really took me a long time to get this album, because I just preferred other ones over it. But when I did I finally loved it as much as everyone else. 1. Wish You Were Here: The best album I've ever listened to (but it's a tie between Radiohead's Kid A and In Rainbows, Björk's Vespertine and Caretaker's Everywhere at the End of Time, they're all equal to me). All the tracks are phenomenal and Welcome to the Machine is very underrated actually, but of course Shine On stands out. When I first listened to this track my soul ascended, it sounded so familiar (probably because it reminded me of Vangelis' Blade Runner OST which I've "watched" as a kid with my dad, for like 5 minutes before I fell asleep. I've actually watched the film in full later though, but it still didn't ruin SOYCD's magic when I realized it) yet so alien at the same time. It's not the best of all time because it's my favorite, it's my favorite because it's objectively the greatest musical composition ever. Anyway, I don't really like rankings, especially when it comes to such a great discography as PF. I also wanted to add the solo projects but it'd be way too long probably, I just think both of Rick's albums are top tier and comparable to PF's best.

I walk into house as I hear the opening of time begin. I head straight for the family room to find old dad listening to all the sounds chasing around and around the room. I started to say something to him and he hushed me. I sat down and watched as he consumed side one. I knew he had to listen to side two in quick succession, so I got up and started side two. He would close his eyes a just float away with the sounds coming out of his new stereo. At the end he said little, but damn I never heard music like that before. He continued the sounds race back and forth round and round. Sounds so good. I simply said yeah, I know.

[@El_Pimpin_Shizz]

@@jamesmatthew3681 the wall is the strongest concept album they put out. I really felt the message of the wall more than the feeling of longing or remembering on WYWH, or the feeling of insanity on TDOTM because its executed in a much larger and grand scale being a double album so for me it really has much more room and time to build the story and punch its point.

My opinion is very similar. Piper really changed my view of music in general

[@Hats502]

JT have to give you a shoutout for turning me on to Meddle. Since your video on it it’s become my favorite Pink Floyd album. Echoes had been one of my favorite songs by them for a while but the rest of the album is also just so enjoyable. I don’t know what it is about it since I don’t even rank the other songs that highly in Pink Floyd’s discography. But then all together just makes for a fantastic listening experience, even Seamus…

You are the only Floydian on YT whose ranking of PF's incredible catalogue almost perfectly summed up my exact same sentiments and thots we've basically have the same rankings! For real, bro. even with the inclusion of the Live at Pompeii (a cheat, but whatever lol, can't deny its power and absolute "must"-ness for any true PF fan. Also on the subject of "lives", I'd rather have "Delicate Sound..." listed over "MLoR" coz the live rendition is faaaaaar superior than the flat studio version of Turning Away, Learning to Fly, and Yet Another Movie)! With the minor exceptions ofc: DB is within my top 5 (#4-5) on my list, AHM makes it on my 7th (if only for the strength of the groundbreaking suite which had grown on me after a few more listens, album-fillers be damned lol), the Syd Barret-era not much to my liking, and the overrated Wall too morbidly self-engrossed and whiny, making it only slightly above another whiny Waters opus, "Final Cut (which I consider the 3rd LP in the already-overly lengthy "The Wall); Wall can go #10, MLoR/DB #8. The rest are pretty much spot on. Subbing.

[@JTCurtisMusic]

That all seems perfectly reasonable to me. Thanks for the sub!

[@tnbocon]

Appreciate all the effort and the journey you've allowed us to share with you JT. I do think you have a bit of Gilmour bias, which is fine of course, and being a musician yourself it's easy to understand the appreciation you have towards Gilmour's guitar and Rick's keys. I've always been a Waters guy feeling that the lyrics and concepts is what transformed Floyd from just "a unbelievable musical group" (which, of course, they are) to transcending genres and music and cementing themselves in a way no other band has ever done. While I think we can all jam out to Zepplin or The Who or any of a number of other transformative music groups, I believe it was the Waters-inspired lyrics that has had such an impact to so many of us and been so impactful to our lives. Maybe that's why to me The Final Cut is a top 10 album, The Wall a top 2 (if not 1), and why Wish you Were Here drops significantly. But as you said so eloquently, Floyd was many things to many people, and to have everyone create the same list is impossible, but we can all agree that all 16 albums are impactful at some level.

[@chrisdellier2993]

I'm a Waters guy also and I agree with everything you said. For me The Division Bell also drops significantly. All the fans seem to love it but I don't even own it anymore. I've never seen a harsh word written about it which makes it seem overrated and not underrated as some claim. The Wall and Dark Side are tied at #1 for me.

[@Dino-rs4ee]

I generally agree with a lot of the takes shown in this video. But I do have one main thing I can't grasp honestly. Atom Heart Mother I feel should be much higher. I agree with some of the songs that you said were great and easy to listen to such as "Fat Old Sun". But it was this era of Pink Floyd where they were so much more experimental. I love DSOTM a lot, maybe if you even asked me a year ago I'd say it's my favorite album from Pink Floyd, it's just that it's not as different. I know that I'm going to get flamed for saying this potentially but I don't think it's perfect. I think at most it's an 89/100. Still, a great album. Lots of songs are still in rotation matter of fact, time, any color you like, breathe, and money. All of those songs are absolutely timeless. But songs like Echoes, Fearless, Fat Old Sun, Mudmen, A Pillow of Winds are just more creative rather then DSOTM along with the entire albums. My second thing that might also be controversial is that I think Syd Barrett leaving Pink Floyd was great for the group for 2 main reasons. 1, I believe that they were able to become more experimental and outside the box without Barrett. Secondly, I just think that Syd is a better solo artist. I have some of his work on vinyl actually. I think the replacing of him lead to some of the greatest music ever being composed. Some of those songs are Wined and Dined, Baby Lemonade, and rats are generally more textured and layered then what he did with Pink Floyd. Those are just my thoughts though, I want to see what you guys think as well.

[@weldingweirdo5463]

The Division Bell has recently become my favorite Pink Floyd album!

[@theogofguitar]

Dark Side will always be the one album you get introduced to and you feel like “wtf is this” and is probably the best progressive yet pop psychedelic rock music album. It doesn’t stay too long, it evokes so many feelings, it’s relaxing and if you’re under the influence also anxiety inducing. It’s a story without words. The Wall is the total opposite a movie an opera that is made for mainstream consumption but without any sense of poppy characteristics. Everything in between is incredible too but is its own world that just isn’t as big as those 2. Everything before and after is just…different and is before the lightning in a bottle and after the storm rain came. A huge Floyd fan will argue for any of there albums outside of the 2 big ones being the best but those 2 are the big ones for a reason

[@turtnet3378]

High hopes is my second favorite Pink Floyd song.

[@bushranger8960]

Thank you for the series JT! It was wonderful going through the Floyd's catalogue in tandem with your reviews. I thank you for getting me hooked on the Division Bell! My ranking (which is is correct and mine) is: 15: Ummagumma (Nonsense album boogaloo) 14: The Final Cut (AND HOLD ON TO THE DREAAAAMMMM) 13: More (The best song is Party Sequence you cowards.) 12: A Momentary Lapse of Reason (Is it just me or does this record feel like they're replicating Dire Straits Brothers In Arms album?) 11: Saucerful of Secrets (Jugband Blues is very hard to listen to, regarding Syd's condition.) 10: The Endless River (First floyd album I remember being released! Purchased on release day!) 9. Atom Heart Mother (This album made a cameo in a Clockwork Orange in the record shop!) 8. Piper at the Gates of Dawn (Syd is incredibly talented, he deserved to be so much more.) 7. The Wall (Brilliant concept, but I prefer the Live recordings and even JT's alternative mix!) 6. Animals (Incredible album, STONE, STONE, STONE...) 5. The Division Bell (Wearing The Inside Out got me through hard times recently.) 4. Dark Side of the Moon (First Floyd record I listened to, it's genuinely perfect. Thanks Mum.) 3. Meddle (PING and whale noises make a 20 minute track brilliant!) 2. Obscured By Clouds (While not a concept album, I believe this album stands with Meddle being a keystone in the band's musical development. Very chill and easy album I love.) 1. Wish You Were Here (The fact Pink Floyd released this as the follow up to Dark Side of the Moon is just insane. My pick for greatest follow up album of all time.) Also - check out Biding My Time from Relics. Criminal it's not on any of the albums! Thanks for reading and hope to see your next video soon!

I’m so astonished by your reviews JT genuinely. This is probably the best series to really understand their entire history. You’ve done an absolutely FANTASTIC job at encapsulating their history and every detail. I learned so many things from these reviews and after 2 years, it really feels like the end of an era for this channel. I remember when this series STARTED, and went through the entire thing with you. The highs of starting a new series on Pink Floyd right as they release a new song. The lows of you possibly not even continuing this series around the AMLOR era because of KZbin’s frustrating guidelines. I’ve watched every single one of these with my dad and it’s become a tradition of ours to watch these videos when they came out. I know I’m a week late to this one, but still I would LOVE if you saw this just to see how much this series means to me and how amazing of a job you have done

I think it may also have something to do with where you live. I grew up in France, and out there, there seems to be an implicit agreement that FLoyd's peak is between Atom Heart Mother and Wish You Were Here (they were popular in France very early on, that's why you can find so many bootlegs from there). A friend once did me a favor, and when I asked how I could repay him, he said ¨burn some Pink Floyd albums on CD for me¨. He had them on vinyl, just wanted them on CD for his car. I asked ¨ẅhich ones do you want¨ and he said ¨well you know, the four great ones¨ and we both knew that meant Atom Heart Mother, Meddle, Dark Side of the Moon, and With You Were Here (at least to us). My dad (born 1952) also would put those four above the rest. Flash forward to today, I've now been living in the US for 15 years and have gotten accustomed to the record culture over here, and I found it so surprising that The Wall and Animals get so much more love over here.

Dave said Atom Heart was "psychedelic noodling" and was glad to get away from it. I thought it was worthless shit WAY below their talent. But they were just starting out looking for a direction which Dave said came with Meddle.

It is (in order of release date) Meddle, The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals, and The Wall. On a side note, not sure if you are a Queen fan, but ever thought of doing a series of videos on their work? :)

I´m 22 years old and just got into PF after a break up 2 months ago. Every day I listen to them a lot. My Ranking is based on the albums I got on vinyl: - Pulse live 1994 (a lot of my favorite versions of their songs are here and it sounds so good. it is my most expensive one tho, but so worth the ~3h listening experience.) - Dark side of the moon - Wish you were here - the wall - Meddle - umma gumma I would love to get the endlless river and division bell on vinyl as well. Loved your videos on the different albums and they helped me a lot to get more into PF. Maybe one day I look back at myself now and how I started my journey here. I love reading all the comments of older people and how PF influenced their life. Greetings from Germany :) Edit: Bought these albums as well as Animals and On an Island by Gilmour.. I love all of it. I also made it to the Australian Pink Floyd Show concert on their tour in Germany and it was amazing. Probably the closest that I can get to what it must have been.

I appreciate you keeping an open mind. Feel free to share your ranking.

If you go for any prog rock, I'd be interested to see you cover King Crimson. Everyone knows about In the Court of the Crimson King, but the rest of their work seems obscure (at least as far as KZbin audiences are concerned).

The Division Bell is still my favorite, because I have an emotional connection with it. I was around 14 years old, and that's when they released the album. Imagine a teenager watching High Hopes and Take it Back on MTV, and having friends in the classroom who also liked the band. Delicate Sound of The Thunder was the first one I listened to (On the Turning Away and Sorrow are so underrated) , but The Division Bell was the one that made me a fan.

What can I say? I loved the video, JT. I loved your series. I also liked Obscured By Clouds was rated high. Somebody told me “You actually like that album?” To that person, may I say tongue firmly in cheek, excuse me. Pink Floyd didn’t count until Dark Side! Here’s my list. I rambled too much as many of you will soon find out! But it’s not right or wrong- just my opinion! Bottom to top: Ummagumma (I find it hard to believe I would listen to Several Species more than once. However, I would put it on to get rid of annoying guests!)To be fair, Sisyphus and The Narrow Way are tolerable. The Fjnal Cut- The Gunner’s Dream is tear jerking and the title cut is moving. The only other song I like is 2 Suns. We get it, Roger. Nice guys don’t have your lyrical flair. More- I love The Nile Song and there’s a magical blues song More Blues. A Spanish Piece has nice Spanish picking but I can do without the bad accent. Quicksilver is too long! Cymbeline and Green Is The Colour are also good. Most of the rest is forgettable. If I weren’t so video camera shy, I could’ve made this a great video! Or at least interesting! Momentary Lapse- nice to have the Floyd back. Turning Away is one of the best and Learning To Fly Is one of the most interesting. A Suscerful- I guess I like this better than you, JT. Set The Controls and Remember A Day I like best. The title cut is moody. Syd closes with Jugsband Blues Atom Heart Mother- I remember being disappointed with the title song when I 1st heard it. I’d probably like it more at 10 minutes. Summer 68 and Fat Old Sun are highlights. Psychedelic Breakfast is like a 3 song medley with some goofy narration. Endless River/ The instrumental album which name I forgot! Great mood music! Piper At The Gates- Syd was a brilliant songwriter with Astronomy Domine and The Gnome. Too bad he went off the deep end. Bike is cute and that’s it! Divison Bell- More of a Floyd album than Momentary Lapse. High Hopes sums up Floyd’s career. Gilmour seems to vent his frustration with Waterson What Do You Want From Me. Starting to get difficult. I like The Wall better than you did. And it came out before I had issues with authority and isolation. Meddle- One Of These Days, Fearless and of course Echoes are all amazing. St. Tropez has some nice bossa nova jazz. Obscured By Clouds- Childhood’s End, Wots Uh The Deal and Waters’ Beatleesque Free Four Animals- Pigs and Sheep sealed the deal for me Wish You Were Here- not a dull moment. Shine On You Crazy Diamond is a masterpiece. Wish You Were Here is a perfect song for anyone you miss. Welcome To The Machine and Have A Cigar are wry accounts on how fab it is to be a rock star! Dark Side- perfection that not even Waters can appreciate. The Dark Spite he put out last year proves it. Money, Time, Brain Damage, Great Gig, yes even On The Run and a finale like Eclipse. Ok, that was a little too long. And normally, I’d be called away as to why I rated these as I did. But I could change my mind about some. And since I have the perfect voice for written word, there it is!

the wall is made to make people uncomfortable...serious topics that no one else talks about is something we lack in today's world, which this collection is about.. similar to the allegory of the cave

[@rickherrera4859]

Meddle, Wish You Were Here, Saucerful Of Secrets, Piper At The Gates, The Wall & their masterpiece, Dark Side is all the Floyd I need.
