The Best Pink Floyd Album - Progressive Rock Music Forum

Dark sIDE definitely - a triumph of master class musicianship and concept married perfectly

then Wish U were here

then Wall

then Meddle

Today it's Ummagumma.

Most definitely yes.

Meddle for me. Flawless album; I even like tracks like "San Tropez" and "Seamus" (I actually love the latter; that dog has a lot of musical feeling).

After "Wish You Were Here" Pink Floyd lost their touch; even "Animals" sounds hollow to me.

BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue.

I have to go with Animals

I actually have to go with Meddle. It's pleasant and lovely, even sublime at times. They get a bit cold after that, and too amateurish/inadequate before it.

^ yep, i was referring to the top albums. DB is too good to be at the bottom of the heap Smile

Indeed, Division Bell is among my very favourite Floyd albums too, but in all honesty I couldn't vote for it above WYWH or Animals. DB might just as well be my third favourite album, even over Dark Side, which is no small thing.

It's because one single vote is allowed. Division may be the second choice of a lot of people, but we count only the first.

Yeah, I was thinking about something around those lines, but didn't come up to write it. But yes, having albums like Dark Side, WYWH, and Animals, it is difficult for someone to vote for DB. Still, if for example I like it more than Dark Side, it wouldn't be so out of place for someone else to like it better than the other albums too. Plus, there are many albums I would consider weaker than DB that have many more votes here
