Yes, that's the intention of my opening question, thank you both for bring it up. Observing people's usage of comparative terms when they didn't want to pick just one candidate, I thought: Why don't we vote for the order, instead of the album? That entails a limitation to 3 or 4 albums (if we wish to have all permutations at hand) but in exchange, votes don't have to leave any of them out. In a "traditional" poll, you have to post your order of preference, if any. In this "in-a-row" approach, you'd have to post who you want to dismiss (if any), or, eventually, your opinion that no particular order applies.

I never understood what is supposed to be wrong with San Tropez. I think it's perfectly lovely. I don't mind Seamus either. As I find the rest of it absolutely fantastic, Meddle is my favorite Pink Floyd album. Or perhaps even one of my favorite albums, period.

I'd put the two epics on the same pedestal (and in the top 3 Floyd tracks), so it's a tie. Sure OOTD is better than the rest of AHM, but the rest of Meddle is weaker than most/all of AHM's flipside. (Pillows & Fearless being on the same level than If & Summer).

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 |

but Echoes is better than anything on AHM... let's just say, the highs are higher and the lows are lower?

Atom >> Meddle >> Secrets >> Umma (not a fan of Gumma, if the album had been called UmmaUmma, I'd probably love it)
reason why AHM is better than Meddle? No offensive tracks like Seamus & San Tropez.

Perhaps wrongly, I'd tried not to figure in the live album as I thought that was a bit unfair, as for me, it does give the rest a significant star-rating lift. Incidentally, I recently treated myself to the Live: Fillmore West 1970 2CD set, which I'm sure you'll love. It extrapolates their classic, pre=Meddle material almost to breaking point...

I don't really think in terms of better (well, sometimes I do that too, but not in regards to this poll), but I certainly know that Meddle is closer to my heart than... A Momentary Lapse of Reason. And to be fair Heart of the Matter asks for: Your order of preference?. You may not have an order of preference, but it's not the same as "better". |

From my point of view,
Meddle is a minor work. The others are masterpieceses, Saucerful isnt true prog but wonderful... I've chosen Atom Heart Mother, Saucerful, Ummagumma, Meddle.

Ummagumma first choice - the live album is just the essential Pink Floyd. It's tight between the other three. I go for Meddle based on the strength of Echoes. Saucerful > AHM really on the mood of the day. Love 'em all.

Hi,
I'm gonna play all 4 of the albums at the same time, and see if something shows up that helps me vote ... some of these rip up my mind more than any dope ever did! I'm not sure I ever listened to any PF and thought that one album was better than the other ... it was PF!

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

Meddle got me into the Floyd (and was my gateway into prog) so it remains a special album to me |

Is it any wonder that the monkey's confused?
