Syd Barrett, the guitarist with Pink Floyd, was a creative genius in his TIME, having written such psychedelic RELICS as "ARNOLD LAYNE" and "SEE EMILY PLAY", where his abstruse lyrics were sometimes OBSCURED BY CLOUDS. Sadly, his overuse of the psychedelic drug LSD led to BRAIN DAMAGE and mental illness. In A MOMENTARY LAPSE OF REASON, he's rumoured to have walked all the way from London to his home in Cambridge. While most Pink Floyd fans will be aware that SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND was written as a tribute to Syd Barrett, I wonder how many Pink Floyd fans know that their first album, THE PIPER AT THE GATES OF DAWN, was a chapter from Kenneth Grahame's book, "The Wind in the Willows". It's with SORROW we remember that Syd Barrett (1946-2006) and Richard Wright (1943-2008) are no longer with us and they're now COMFORTABLY NUMB, having both gone to THE GREAT GIG IN THE SKY. I've never seen Pink Floyd perform live IN THE FLESH, but their music will live on forever. No Prog-Rock band will ever ECLIPSE the music of Pink Floyd, no matter how much TIME goes by in THE ENDLESS RIVER of eternity. The space-themed songs of Pink Floyd SPEAK TO ME with special appeal because one of my passions in life is ASTRONOMY DOMINE. It's nice to STOP for a moment and dream of ONE OF THESE DAYS leaving MOTHER Earth behind and flying ROUND AND AROUND the universe forever. It'd be GOODBYE BLUE SKY as I SET THE CONTROLS FOR THE HEART OF THE SUN. I'd be LEARNING TO FLY with A NEW MACHINE capable of unimaginable speeds in INTERSTELLAR OVERDRIVE. I'd fly with the PULSE jets FLAMING past THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON towards the FAT OLD SUN and then out into the EMPTY SPACES beyond. Eventually, I'd arrive at the Alpha Centauri CLUSTER ONE star system looking for SIGNS OF LIFE where there are TWO SUNS IN THE SUNSET. I've often wondered IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE in the vast universe or is there NOBODY HOME. I REMEMBER A DAY back in the mid-1960's when landing a man on the Moon seemed about as likely as seeing PIGS ON THE WING. At the TIME, THE DOGS OF WAR had just been unleashed in Vietnam, when the USA took the disastrous decision to MEDDLE in a foreign war in a faraway land. The more recent calamitous decision to invade Iraq in 2003 has resonant ECHOES of the Vietnam War. Both terrible wars bring into stark contrast the POLES APART difference between war and peaceful space exploration. American Presidents KEEP TALKING about one day landing a man on Mars and plans are now COMING BACK TO LIFE for a Mars mission. I have HIGH HOPES that we'll one day land men on Mars and that will be A GREAT DAY FOR FREEDOM. I'll be LOST FOR WORDS if it ever happens in my lifetime. It'll be ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL of space exploration where MONEY is no barrier to scientific discovery. The first men on Mars will be FEARLESS explorers who've made THE FINAL CUT and they won't RUN LIKE HELL at the prospect of ONE SLIP-up leaving them MAROONED on a distant planet. Thanks to the Internet, we're now living through some of THE HAPPIEST DAYS OF OUR LIVES and Prog Archives is ONE OF THE FEW websites devoted to Prog-Rock. It's just the website we needed to BREATHE new life into the genre, which appeared to be dying out in the late 1970's with the arrival of Punk Rock. It was a case of US AND THEM, with "Us", the prog-rockers, ranged against "Them", the punk-rockers. Prog-Rock is now COMING BACK TO LIFE with a vengeance and there's much MORE than A SAUCERFUL OF SECRETS just waiting to be rediscovered in the wonderful world of Prog-Rock. The choice of music these days is virtually unlimited and it's not a case of ANY COLOUR YOU LIKE as long as it's black. To any of my friends who haven't yet discovered this amazing site, I say WISH YOU WERE HERE with me to enjoy it. I can hear the DELICATE SOUND OF THUNDER outside and the rain's pounding against THE WALL. I'm a lover of all ANIMALS, and I often wonder how PIGS, SHEEP and DOGS cope when they're ON THE RUN outside in the middle of a thunderstorm. I love to watch a thunderstorm at nighttime and I'll often open the curtains in order to LET THERE BE MORE LIGHT coming in from the distant flashes of lightning, which are never OBSCURED BY CLOUDS.

Let me see, top 3 are easy, after that let's see what happens: 1. Wish you were here. 2. Animals. 3. The Division Bell. 4. The Dark Side of the Moon. 5. Meddle. 6. The Wall. 7. Atom Heart Mother. Though I might be tempted to include Live at Pompeii, Ummagumma (because of the live disc), and / or one of the BBC recordings if I was to be including live ones too. |

DSOTM suffers from FM Radio overplay, we've all heard it so much we can play the whole thing in our heads. It's gone a bit stale for me despite its brilliance, I still get energy from Animals. ------------- Ian Host of the Post-Avant Jazzcore Happy Hour on Progrock.com https://podcasts.progrock.com/post-avant-jazzcore-happy-hour/ |

Animals has always been loved around here so no surprise it's up there in the top 7. Also The Wall made it in top 7
 Not top 7 material if you ask me (and i do enjoy the album, I've overplayed it, true, but still like it). |

no, The Wall is still better than what they did afterwards with The Final Cut, AMLOR, Division Bell. Also The Wall is still better than anything Waters did solo, well, maybe Amused to Death comes close to that. That was a great album. |

Close enough to my list, and the differences actually make it more correct, I guess. I'm glad to see that even The Division Bell made it in. |

1 The Dark Side of the Moon 2 The Wall 3 The Piper at the Gates of Dawn 4 Wish You Were Here 5 Atom Heart Mother 6 Meddle 7 Animals I have The Wall as No. 2 knowing that it is basically a Roger Waters project more than Pink Floyd, but I sincerely think the music is amazing.

I figured after reading the DSotM discussion I should search this one out. For the record, my top seven. Apart from the top two which are set in stone, the rest can change depending on day and mood. So, for now: 1. Wish You Were Here 2. Animals 3. The Wall 4. Meddle 5. Obscured By Clouds 6. A Momentary Lapse of Reason 7. Atom Heart Mother

Personal favourites for me, and simply the ones I still return to the most (and I really hate leaving out a fine album like `WYWH'!) : 1. More 2. Piper... 3. Atom Heart Mother 4. Animals 5. Dark Side... 6. Obscured By Clouds 7. The Division Bell But really, they never made a single bad album - and YES, that includes `The Final Cut'!  And `The Endless River' is more vaguely satisfying and perfectly enjoyable left-overs at worst.

1. Wish You Were Here (2. Live at Pompeii) 2. The Dark Side of the Moon 3. A Saucerful of Secrets 4. The Piper at the Gates of Dawn 5. The Final Cut 6. The Wall 7. Meddle But only WYWH is a really great album. There's too much kitschy ooohhoooing on The Dark Side and much too much bombast partly ruins all the good ideas in The Wall. They made some great songs, but also much boring stuff. Interestingly the less kitschy-than-usual Animals is one which I don't like at all. But I enjoy many of their early live stuff, espcially the 2 BBC in Concerts and the Pompeii concert. Well at least John Peel still liked their music, while he absolutely disliked other mainstream Prog bands like Yes and ELP. |

In my opinion, Pink Floyd were 1) a proto prog band until Ummagumma 2) a prog band since Atom Heart mother until Animals 3) a symphonic pop folk band since The Wall to the present. So it's not easy to vote their best albums. They are so different.. But anyway I will evaluate the beauty of their albums. ------------- Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide.

Surprisingly enough, I hadn't voted (yet) in this poll. Live at Pompeii , but it's out of contest
1. Atom Heart Mother 2. More (got a real soft spot for this one) 3. Dark side of the moon 4. Wish you were here 5. Animals 6. Meddle (end of side 1 is very flawed) 7. A Saucerful of secrets 8. Final Cut 9. The Wall (overheard this and got sick of it) 10. Ummagumma 11. Piper ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

1. The Piper. This one is revolutionary 2. Wish You Were Here. The most proggy 3. Atom Heart Mother. The conversion to prog. 4. Saucerful of Secrets. The suite is a masterpiece 5. The Dark Side of the Moon. Overrated but anyway a classic, this one was revolutionary not for the contents but for the packaging. 6. The Final Cut. First Waters solo album, it's symphonic melodic folk, very good. 7. Ummagumma. It's the connection between two eras. ------------- Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide.

Not a single 2-star album!  I think I wouldn't give any Floyd album less than 3 either. |
Posted By: Psychedelic Paul

I'm glad we agree. Even my least favourite Pink Floyd album (Ummagumma) is worthy of a 3-star rating, and the same applies to Camel, Genesis and YES too.

It's my favourite ambient album and generally very underrated I think. Not a fan of "Louder Than Words" but I suppose that farewell song has it's place there. I guess not many expected/accepted there'd be another Pink Floyd album when it came out.

There's too much "baggage" connected with this list to even try a "personally objective" look at things, but: - Animals - Obscured - Meddle - Piper - DSOTM - More - Umaguma I loved side 2 of Atom Heart but always felt the side 1 suite wasn't Floydian enough for my taste - too much Gesin and too much overdubbed orchestration.....it almost seems they didn't cue things up right and released the whole thing "as is". It worked much better in its more spartan live versions with just the Floyd. ------------- I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there..... |
