You're stating your opinion as a fact.
IMO, the early Pink Floyd was the best era.

and the rest of their Discography doesnt matter.


Looking at this record I think Pink Floyd tried all the WRONG ways to make music in the beginning, then did some experiments and found themselves with Wish you were Here. And their last 3 albums are Godlike

Careful With That Axe, Eugene and Set The Controls For The Heart of the Sun are not albums, they're songs.

I happen to think all their albums matter, even the ones I don't care for much, but that's me. I can't discount anything they've done even if I don't like it, because it has meaning to someone, somewhere.....and that's what they wanted. *shrugs*

I agree. And on a personal level I can say that while I don't care for the last two albums, musically, they're still very important for me personally. Delicate Sound of Thunder was the album that got me into Pink Floyd in the first place, and obviously without A Momentary Lapse of Reason there would be no tour to record.

And then in '94 I went to see them live in Gothenburg. A great experience that would not have happened if they didn't have a new album.

So, both these albums mean a lot to me even if I don't like the music all that much.

Nicely put.

Same here. :D I got to know Pink Floyd when I was 10, when my teacher played a few songs from A Momentary Lapse of reason in class to show us the music. I don't like it all very much, but thee nostalgic value for me is pretty high.

I think its important to try to not be ignorant about the older albums and realize that there are songs that are like pearls incased in shells, at the bottom of the ocean....

I know those two tracks are not albums, but from that album I like only them.

1. The Piper at the Gates of Dawn
2. The Wall
3. Animals
4. Dark Side of the Moon
5. The Final Cut
6. Wish You Were Here
7. A Saucerful of Secrets
8. Meddle
9. Obscured by Clouds
10. Ummagumma
11. Atom Heart Mother
12. More
13. The Division Bell
14. A Momentary Lapse of Reason

The ranking is rather difficult, but coming from the times when I was listening as a child to Ummagumma and Meddle I'd do the following:

1. The dark side of the moon
2. Meddle
3.Ummagumma
4. Wish you were here
5. Animals
6. The paper at the gates of dawn


Don't forget the solo lp's from syd barrett............................

The Paper at the Gates of Dawn is my personal favourite I miss Pink Lloyd.
