Ok, I get that these are all reasons for it to not be considered amongst Pink Floyds best works. But mocked and hated? 

I wonder how it would be considered without the Pink Floyd name attached. If it was released as a David Gilmour solo album for instance (which for all intents and purposes it is).

well, I like a few songs on it, but it is one of PF's weakest efforts for many people.

I would've voted for The Division Bell here, seeing as that's the second-to-last Pink Floyd album. Wink

It seems that "The Endless River" is not being considered in this competition.

Of the competing two here I'm going for "A Momentary Lapse of Reason".

Blame it on a momentary lapse of reason.

Now this discography will get a lot more intersting as we get closer to the middle.

The OP ignored The Endless River.
