Depends on my mood really. Suffice to say that I love everything up to, and including, The Wall - with Ummagumma, Atom Heart Mother and Animals being equally orgasmic. Today though, and all of last month, I'd say More. I think I rated it 4 stars back when i first began to write reviews, but that doesn't mean anything to me really. I love that album, even if I think AHM is a 'better' album......yeah I'm confusing myself a bit here, but 'best' is such a ludicrous connotation applied to music. So I vote for my fave - and for a long time it's been More.

That's about the sum of it. Possibly something to do with a chart bound single and to top that kids singing on it! I don't really mind though.
One thing I remember distinctly was that when it came out a very surprised (with himself) John Peel played it on his program. Took me by surprise too.

T'was the very first Floyd album I ever heard. I copied my aunts vinyl onto tape and played it non-stop for something like two years. I still know every word and note to the album. It's part of my subconsciousness by now.
John Peel was great though. The BBC would never again find another 'music man' that integrated the underground into the everyday radio sphere as he did. The Peel Session recordings are another testimony to this man's impeccable taste and vision. I own and love a lot of these.

This is a tough choice...I love a few songs on each of their albums, but it seems there's always something about a song or two that keep them from achieving perfection for me. The one I like best overall would have to be "The Wall" followed by "The Final Cut".

A difficult one. I could have picked Saucerful, Meddle or Dark Side, but today I choose the cow, possibly because Think Floyd started their concert here a few years ago with the fabulous title track. It was magic.

The Wall is far from my favourite one (though it's far from my least favourite too). As a matter of fact, I would give it a Masterpiece status too. And I do enjoy Another Brick in the Wall 2. However, they had much better masterpieces, and the sound from their previous 3 albums was something really special, with longer songs, more melody... more music and less words. I believe they had a better ballance between music and concept than The Wall.

I'll be the first to give Saucerful the nod since I've been playing it quite a lot lately. The suffocating yet spacey production gives the whole thing this weird and haunting vibe...a lot different than your typical late 60s psychedelia. Even Corporal Clegg's wacky kazoos get offset near the end by violent war chaos, and Jugband Blues is one of Syd's most potent moments, with the goofiness matched by an underlying creepiness as the horns start blathering away followed by that sad, brilliant ending. I kind of like the live version of the title track more on Ummagumma more due to the more 'soulful' vocals during the last section, but other than that SFoS is a complete winner to me.

All of them, but Meddle has everything: The long suite with psychedelic moments, the rock of One of These Days, some catchy songs, the humour of Seamus and the original idea of mixing You'll never walk alone with Fearless.

You know, Luca, it occured to me looking over this list that there's not a single Floyd album I dislike, even if there's only a few that I still return to pretty often these days.
Twenty years ago, that band was so important to my friends and I, and I remember them fondly from that period of my life.

Faves in order:
Animals 8.5/10
Obscured 8.5/10
Meddle 8/10
Wall 8/10
Saucer 8/10
Atom 7.5/10
Wish 7.5/10
Dark 6.5/10 mainly boring apart from first 3 songs
Piper 2/10 rubbish
------------- All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

Tom, I've simply learned on here that there's numerous fans who cannot stand psychedelic music, that's it's too `weird', `stupid', `idiotic' etc, and instantly dismiss it as garbage.
I've seen this directed at Floyd, Caravan, Eloy, Gong, and a whole ton of Kraut stuff plenty of times.
I think they need a little colour in their life lol!

Y'know, there's this naivety and profound joy in psychedelic music, both for the creators and the listeners. A real sense of discovery and surrealism all in a colourful package. Brainticket got it right, especially with 'Psychonaut'.

It's nice to see some appreciation of the marvellous More album . I've always wondered why this wasn't more popular.
My personal highlights from More are the shimmering and edgy psychedelic ambience of Quicksilver, the amost indescribable and heavenly Cirrus Minor and the truly stunning Cymbaline.
This would be very very close to my favourite Floyd album and always has been. I'd say Animals still takes the vote but More is definitely in my top 3.
Oh and to dismiss Piper as rubbish, well it may be a bit weird and not to everyone's taste but that is a groundbreaking album and worthy of great respect. Whilst I am not the biggest fan of KC's debut, there are gems on there and it's influence on the development of prog rock was vast. I personally would not dismiss albums in such a way. Each to their own eh?
And Fosters isn't that bad for a thirst quencher imho .

Rubbish may be too strong a word to use, but I'm not particularly fond of this album either. The one song that I really love on this album is "Astronomy Domine", and the next 2 or 3 songs are kind of OK too, but the rest of the album is just not my taste. "Interstellar Overdrive" was an almost great song, but it had too much disonance and too little of the cool riffs at the beginning.

I don't think I would put Live in Pompeii as my favourite, but it's right there next to Wish you were Here and Animals for me, and just a bit above Dark Side and Division Bell. I wish it had been released as an audio album too, that would have been great. In some ways, I find Live in Pompeii better than Meddle... it certainly has a better selection of songs (and it has the best songs from Meddle included). The only thing is that the performance and/or recording of those songs is a bit better on Meddle.

Waters bass during the funky section of Echoes first half is stunning, he has such a great sound here, better than the 'Meddle' version. And Gilmour plays these glorious power-chords and just rips it on his black strat. Man, I think I'll dig out my DVD of this today.

Animals is perhaps one of the most powerful albums I have ever heard. There is no other Pink Floyd album with quite as much power.
------------- I am currently digging:
Hawkwind, Rare Bird, Gong, Tangerine Dream, Khan, Iron Butterfly, and all things canterbury and hard-psych. I also love jazz!
Please drop me a message with album suggestions.

Well...I agree with you X man................imo DSOTM has a better batch of songs ; to me WYWH is a close second and Animals is third.
I chose Meddle because it's a sentimental favorite with me. |
Mmm... well, for me both "Wish You were Here" and "Animals" are stronger than Dark Side. I guess that's mainly because those other albums have less songs, and they are longer, so they have more space to develop and create atmospheres, and get longer solos.

Love Piper, pure brilliance. Top ten fave for me. Saucerful is great, too. Bored by DSotM and everything after.

Anyway, even if I think that Final Cut is the worst Pink Floyd album, for me it's always a great pleasure listening to it. Division Bell is an album that can easily compete with the good old ones.
I actually voted for Meddle.

The Final Cut is one of three albums Roger Waters wrote in the late 70's and to me it's an absolutely unique release. Brezhnev took Afghanistan, Begin took Beirut, Galtieri took the Union Jack... David Gilmour hates this record with a passion but who's not enjoying Two Suns In The Sunset?

Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar. You're gonna go far, you're gonna fly high, You're never gonna die, you're gonna make it if you try; they're gonna love you.

An interesting choice. That's an album written and recorded in about two weeks, the most pop-oriented and IMO underrated. This makes it one of the most spontaneous works of PF.

I believe More was also recorded with very little time, and that one's also a soundtrack. I guess I prefer More.
