I am a bit late entering this thread. More, but actually none.

Yesss, I wouldn't put any Floyd album below a Gnosis 9 (out of 15) I'm not crazy about Obscured By Clouds (I like most of More, though), Gumma (I like Umma) and don't appreciate the nutty singles of the Barrett era. AHM might maybe my fave nowadays because it's the only one I played (a few times) in years (outside live or boots)

Can't vote, because even though PF are easily among my top 20 all time favorite bands, I simply have no time to listen to their early albums again to make up my mind. Besides, I generally don't like "worst of" polls. Why focus on the negative?

Ummagumma live is amazing IMO. I played it a lot and it's still fun to get back to it.

Lets just say that the Live disc is Umma and the Studio disc is Gumma.

This. Pink Floyd was both evolutionary AND revolutionary, and they were breaking ground where none had gone. Of course there were rough spots. Set the controls for the heart of the sun, please.

Hi, This is really sad. The film was EXCELLENT, however, unlike a lot of Hollywood stuff, the music in it is not heard in the regular makes no sense style in films ... the whole thing is seen/heard from the girl's point of view, and the music is on a cassette player she carries with her. Most of it, is used in her "tripping", and it was beautifully done, despite the horrible set of film stock used for the film which didn't exactly make it better, and instead made it look like a high school/college made film with no money whatsoever. The music in the film is very well used, unlike "Obscured by Clouds" that had an Oscar Winning Cinematographer, and the music was not quite used well at all, except in the opening credits ... on top of the fact that the film looks like it was cut up senselessly to make it strange, stoney and weird. Given the stuff that folks watch today, and seem to like a lot, a film like MORE will not be appreciated by a lot of folks today, and the music in the album will appear not together, or in some sort of cohesive fashion. Maybe if those folks had a nice trip they would realize that it doesn't matter if the music comes from a cassette player or from the movie screen ... you still fly with it and then some ... but I doubt many folks today give a poop and are strong enough to learn and find out! And then be able to "LIVE" with the story, instead of "imagining it". There is a massive difference! |

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Either Saucerful of Secrets or More. I guess I'll officially say More. OBC is right behind them though.

I appreciate the innovation and originality of Syd's albums, but by now they are the ones I play the least with difference.
Actually same as Richard, I rarely find myself playing anything pre-Meddle, but Ummagumma, More and Obscured by Clouds still get some playing once in a while.

None of them are bad, indeed, but More is the one that I've never really attached much value to, especially compared to all their other albums (pre- or post- The Wall).

in the vast minority here, but my vote would be for either (or both) of the first 2 albums. Just not a fan of the Syd Barrett stuff. I guess I never believed in all the hype surrounding Syd Barrett as a songwriter or whatever else he was. Of course I realize his influence on Waters' lyrics in later works, but....just do not care for those first 2 albums.

Not sure. If I have to choose, it might just as well be Obscured by Clouds, though it's not really bad at all, just... perhaps forgettable compared to other stuff they have released. And even that one has little gems as, for me, Mudmen. Or if I would separate the discs, then I may agree with those that say the Studio disc of Ummagumma.
