Pink Floyd Online Forums

1.Dark Side of the Moon-yea, its the most well-known, but it got me into floyd, and no album has changed my view on music as much as this.
2.Division Bell-David's best work by far. so many good songs, even though its not traditional floyd.
3.Animals-great view on politics. dont care much for pigs on the wing, but dogs, pigs, and sheep are absolutely stunning work!
4.The Wall-roger was quite a tough guy to deal with by now, but he wrtoe most song on here. and there are so many good songs. i dont see any filler since almost each song leads into the next, therefore making a rock opera masterpiece
5.Wish You Were Here-obvious choice. each song is amazing. welcome to the machine and have a cigar also show great opinions on the crappy industry.
6.Obscured by Clouds-fantasic! even though its a soundtrack, so many good songs. you can hear floyd developing the dsotm style.
7.Meddle-great songs, but some arent worth much. Echoes is one of my alltime faves, and one of these days is also right up there.
8.Piper at the Gates of Dawn-another obvious choice. this began it all. most songs have something to remember, and it all sounds way ahead of its time.
9.More-whats to hate? yea some tracks are kinda pointless, but so many masterpieces, such as green is the colour, cymbaline, and nile song, which ive never heard a song from the late 60s as heavy as that.
10.Atom Heart Mother-title track is a masterpiece, and probably the most tecdhnical floyd song out there. the next 3 songs are definitely worth it, and adams psychedelic breakfast is a great song to wake up to. great album for a summer day.
11.A Momentary Lapse of Reason-while not nearly as good as division bell, this is still great gilmour work. nick and rick also do great work on here.
12.Ummagumma-live album is so entertaining, and studio album is overcriticised. realize this is the 60s, where sound effects were a big challenge also, each band write their own pieces.
13.Final Cut-not really floyd, but roger really expesses his emotion in this album. very touching
14.Saucerful of Secrets-sorry, but theres gotta be a last. i like the live versions wayyyyy more. production's really bad

1. Dark Side of the Moon 8/10 I don't think its nearly the best
2. Animals 9/10 way beter than dark side
3. Wish you Were Here 8.5/10 almost as good as animals
4. The Wall 8.5/10 along the lines of wish you were here
5. Meddle 9.5/10 this one rocks
6. Division Bell 8/10 not much 2 say
7. The Final Cut 8.5/10 along with the wall
8. Pulse 8.5/10 not much
9. Relics 8.5/10 right there with pulse
10. Piper at the Gates of Dawn 9/10 a great start
11. Atom Heart Mother 10/10 best one!
12. Obscured by Clouds 9/10 great too
13. Momentary Lapse of Reason 8.5/10 bit better than division bell
14. Saucerful of Secrets 8/10 nothin' special
15. Ummagumma 6/10 horrible
16. More 8/10 meh

1. Meddle is musical heaven
2. The Wall - great songs and the truely last PF album before Roger went too control crazy and it became the Gilmore show
3. Wish you were here - Great music and deep messages to Syd
4. Dark Side of the Moon - over air played my least favourite song on the album hurts The Dark Side
5. Obscured by Clouds - Great Album

The rest are all equalily good some slightly better than others, notably Piper and Animals. I'm surprised at the high number of people who rate The Final Cut so high...It has heavy lyrics but muscially it just wasn't there for me.
