Sea of Tranquility Album Rankings

^ Your Camel album rankings are very similar to mine - with an identical Top 3 - and Remote Romance is the only Camel song I dislike too.

I still haven't listened to every Camel album, but Moonmadness would be my favorite as well. Lunar Sea is just a wonderful song. Another Night is another song that doesn't get its due credit in my opinion.

Big Generator @ Paul I don't know why I need to say it, but that Yes ranking of yours is one of the weirdest lists I've ever seen on PA.

  

^ I've now added my PA star ratings to my album rankings, although it probably doesn't make my listings look any less weird.

Well at least your Genesis rankings are saner. I'm actually closer to you than Peter.

Everybody calls it differently. I like Pete Pardo because he's fun and I don't pay much attention to his ratings. Music is taken too seriously by some people, especially by a few who subscribe to Prog Rock. If people could relax a little more and not take themselves too seriously the world would be a better place. Pete Pardo is one who doesn't take himself seriously and that's why I like him.

I rank Ummagumma as their third best album.   I love the live part of Ummagumma, but I think the album's badly let down by some of the weird studio tracks, such as the bizarrely titled "Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict" Yeah, the live part is great, but many times when I pull the album out I go straight to the studio tracks. Even though the band themselves might think what they made was rubbish (as I think Waters and Mason have said publicly) and Gilmour was apparently bullsh*tting his way through his portion, I think this stuff was wonderfully creative.  If I was rich and had a time machine, I would have gone back in time and paid them loads of money to make 10 more albums worth of Ummagumma studio tracks at the risk of ruining the Pink Floyd timeline and having a run-in with Doctor Who. And how many times have Pink Floyd played music off the studio tracks of Ummagumma live in concert? Not even Nick Mason's band, which plays the early music of Pink Floyd, plays this music. That's telling us all that Ummagumma isn't a very good album except for the live material.
