I think I'll take a chance to rank Floyd's Albums, I assure you it will be nothing accurate but I'll write it the way I feel it, based on recent listens..
1 - Obscured by Clouds: This album is almost perfect, it definetly is one the best PF albums. Dave's singing at its best, it has hard rock combined with soft melodies, dark lyrics and an excellent album title which defines perfectly its mood. Current favourite track: Stay.
2 - The Dark Side of the Moon: There's not much to say about this masterpiece, very well organized and structured. Excellent poetry and beautiful melodies; it hits Pink Floyd's creativity, finding its members at a reflection point in their lives. Current favourite track: The great gig in the sky.
3 - Wish You Were Here: Best Pink Floyd album, musically. We see the four members playing in a very moving way, great concept album that actually relates to its concept in every way, from music to lyrics. Current favourite track: Shine on you crazy diamond (Parts 1-5).
4 - Animals: Another excellent concept album, questioning human values and moral. IMO it's the most controversial Pink Floyd album, showing the dark-side of humanity. Angry lyrics and strong musical support make the album touching and though-provoking. Current favourite track: Dogs.
5 - The Wall: This album should be a bit higher but it's been a while since I've listened to it all the way through. There's not much to say about it. A prefect pseudo-autobiographic compositionwith excellent melodies and powerful rock playing. I find myself described by some of its songs sometimes which makes it more beautiful. Current favourite track: One of my turns.
6 - A saucerful of secrets: This album is kind of special to me, being a huge fan of post-Dark Side recordings, this album finds all five members together and I feel it's an excellent way to get to know the band, it shows the majesty of Syd's lyrics, along with Roger's and Dave's co-operation in matter of melodies and "song-building". I find Rick in a very inspired time of his life, starting to develop his well-known abilities to contribute in his own way to the whole Pink Floyd sound. Current favourite track: Let there be more light.
7 - More: I've "discovered" this album quite lately and after the first listen I decided it was awesome. As a sound track for a movie, the songs speak for themselves and take you to a completely different place. As Obscured by Clouds it contents both hard-rock and soft songs which are equally mindblowing. Current favourite song: Green is the colour.
8 - Meddle: I had forgot how beautiful this album is and if it wasn't because of me abandoning Pink Floyd lately it'd sure be a bit higher. The fact that it has Echoes in it is enough to be easily in the top-5. It has an amazing set of 6 songs, which (except for Seamus) are very touching and musically great. Echoes is a masterpiece itself, I think it's one of the best Pink Floyd songs, musically, along with SOYCD. San Tropez is a completely different song from all the other Pink Floyd songs and I find it very amusing, very simple and "Beatles-liked". Current/all-time favourite track: Echoes.
9 - Atom Heart Mother: What amazes me about this album are two tracks which together don't take more than 11 minutes to listen to and they completely blow my mind. I'm talking about Summer '68 and Fat Old Sun. Two truly amazing songs, which sum up the whole concept of the album in my opinion. The albuim was released in 1970 and it's one of the first Roger-David-Rick-Nick's albums and having been working with Syd as the leader of the band it should've been difficult to start all by themselves and I think they managed very well to make an excellent album, not one of the bests though. Current favourite track: Fat Old Sun.
10 - The Piper at the Gates of Dawn: Personally I like this album, but I've started to enjoy it more lately. When I first listened to it I wasn't very much impressed, I honestly didn't care. But after a couple of years listening to it I started to understand Syd's incredible song-writing and music. A complete god of phsychedelic rock, strucks us with new melodies, a total musical-breakthrough. Current favourite song: Matilda Mother.
11 - Ummagumma: If I was conuting the live part only this album would be a bit higher I think, but the studio album just make it worse. I'm not saying it's bad, I actually like it, but all the albums abovementioned easily beat it. I think it's an experimental time which the band went throught, and it should have been a very constructive experience but as a Pink Floyd album, musically, it doesn't satisfy me. On the other hand, the live part have an excellent set of four songs, which are very well played, but I'm only counting studio albums so this adds fewer points than it usually should. Current favourite song: Careful with that axe, Eugene.
12 - The final cut: As far as I concern this album shouldn't qualify as a Pink Floyd album, at least not totally. Roger's lyrics are awesome but musically there's not much to appreciate. Current favourite song: The final cut.
13 - A momentary lapse of reason: I'm not very fond of post-Waters Floyd so I think this album shouldn't be any higher in this list. It has some good songs, nice melodies and a nice guitar-playing but I kind of feel it isn't the same without Roger. This album's the main reason why I think Roger's the best member in many ways. He is needed to keep the whole structure of a song or album and add some poetry to it. He may not be the main musical component but he works as a leader to keep all together and in it's right place. Current favourite song: The Dogs of War.
14 - The Division Bell: Not much to say, pretty much the same as above. I haven't given this album much listens since I got it a couple of months ago but, again, I feel like something's missing. Current favourite song: High Hopes (duh
).
Zabriskie Point: I've given only two listens to this album and I can't remember any song from it so I'll just keep it out of the list. Not last, just out
Early Singles[b], [b]Relics, Tonight let's all make love in London, and live albums don't count.
I think that's pretty much it. It may change along with time so I may make it again in a couple of months I'm sorry if I've expressed myself the wrong way, as I always say; I'm Spanish-speaker so my ability to describe how I feel about each album is kind of restricted.
