Inspired by the current discussion in the thread about David Gilmour's upcoming release, I decided to expand the release polls at AP to support groups of artists in addition to the time based queries (album of the year, album of the month).
So here's a poll where you can rank and/or tier all Pink Floyd releases together with all the solo releases of the PF members: https://awesomeprog.com/release-polls/pa/pink-floyd-and-related Have a try if you like. In order to rate/tier releases you will need to register at AP, but as with the previous polls you can participate without an account as well, in which case you'll be able to set up a ranked list and export it to this thread, where I will pick it up and add it to the combined results.

No love for "More", again.
One of my favorite Pink Floyd albums. |

Very strange its not even on the list; quite sure Mike will have heard it? Personally, I think 'Meddle' is too low and both 'The Wall' and 'Final Cut' are too high, but there you go...

I agree. ![]() Atom Heart Mother is too low as well. I'll try to rank them, it's not easy since the band has a ton of great albums.

I'm not saying you are wrong, any ranking is subjective. You did not even put More in your list.

I have definitely heard it, but I haven't listened to it in a while and would need to listen to it again to be able to confidently put it on the list. Try it yourself - it's not so easy to rank releases when you haven't listened to them recently.

Which is why this must be a collaborative effort, to combine our knowledge and subjective opinions.

Oh, I agree if that is the case; 'More' just seemed to be conspicuous by its absence and I knew Cristi would make a comment; he's very defensive of its reputation! I think we did a list of favourite PF albums about 6 months ago, but I can't land on it immediately. Admittedly, I don't think it contained Solo works, however. I think it might have been one of Paul's.

Hi, Not surprised ... and sadly, the soundtrack is from a really good film that a lot of folks hate. The music is heard on Estelle's cassette player when she is tripping (mostly) and a lot of folks have complained that the music sounds bad ... and were, instead, expecting a Hollywood type of soundtrack with loud washes of music over the picture, and the cassette player not needed or used at all. It adds a REAL touch to the film, that many of us don't like ... the film is very "real" and Barbet Schroeder makes sure that we "feel" it, and it is no illusion, which compares to his next film, where the illusion is right at the start of the film, even though it is a really beautiful shot by Nestor Almendros, who also did the cinematography for MORE ... and it is really well done, despite what looks like left over and old film stock in many parts, but it is very psychedelic in its presentation. I have always had the feeling that this film was kinda done before PF even saw it, and then they decided to not bother with it, since it had a lot of artistic touches ... let's say that at times it feels like a college student film. But I have never heard anyone in PF say anything about this film ... probably to make sure they could distance themselves from the drugs that they were already advertising were no longer there ... but given Syd's story, that is really not a surprise. I'm not sure that some folks will bother with this film, or soundtrack ... they are the fans of the 2nd era of PF (probably should be mentioned as 3rd!) ... and they have very little appreciation for things before hand ... they like the popular numbers. PF audience changed after DSOTM and it went to bad, and then ridiculous and then pathetic.

That's why I thought this poll would be interesting, there's about 60 releases by PF and their members in the database. ![]() |

I've seen the movie, the music is used differently, some songs are not in their full length, and also the order of the songs is different if I remember right.

Hi, I think a lot of those decisions might have to be made from Barbet's mind, since there might be some stuff they could not get out of ... the appearance of what looks like old film stocks (the colors end up being a bit fuzzy or not as bright) ... and then ... oh well, we only have 30 seconds of film left ... and take the shot as far as one can. Compare this to the next film, where you can see that a lot of money was wasted for a film that really has no story or a lot of value, other than a lot of ad-libs from the French contingent of their national theater and the English contingent of the same. But the film lacked a "reality" that MORE showed, which this new film couldn't due to the amount of money thrown around. It would have been interesting to see a director's cut of this film, although I think that their budget was next to minus 10 francs ... and the film managed to get done, despite all the issues, but the decision of how to use the music, for me, is a beautiful touch, and something that most folks watching movies don't get and many fans got upset over the use of the music, and how could PF allow that film to be made. The "reality" in it, is far out, and in many ways makes the addiction part of the film very uncomfortable. BTW, a lot of Barbet's films were about various addictions ... and the trippy side of PF's music before DSOTM suggests that the whole thing is about the trip with the music ... which was what they did from 1971 until DSOTM finally was released and went monster gagagoogoo.

Listened to Rick Wright's Wet Dream which was re-released last year - not bad! Updated list as tiers:

^ Wet Dream is Richard Wright's album. Underrated & overlooked if you ask me.

^ Yes of course, I miswrote. Juggling too many releases simultaneously ... and listening to PF - More.

^^ I guess you've still got Piper & Endless River to go as essentials, then Relics as an optional??

^ I was kind of hoping that some of you would also submit your lists, so that we see from the combined list which releases end up as the collective essentials
![]() But sure, at least Piper is a definitive candidate.

I used to have a compilation of their early singles, a few of them were on Relics as well.
