 Topic: Best Pink Floyd Album
Posted: April 05 2004 at 07:23 |
I've got an IP identifier and I will find out where you live if you vote for the final cut. 
Oh yeah, and if anyone cares, I forgot Relics. Vote for "Tonight lets all make love in London" if you want to vote for Relics.

Piper is a great album in my opinion.  Also Atom, Umma, Meddle & Dark Side.
But my favorite: Floyd - Barrett = "Wish You Were Here".

My two fave Pink Foyd albums are Ummagumma & Obscured by clouds...with a slight preference for Ummagumma.

To Stormcrow : Don't you think 'Wounded' is the best Enchant album ?

Perhaps!  Though I'm very fond of "Blink Of An Eye" as well.
But "Juggling" was the album cover I could easily find to feature in my sig.... hence it's showcase below.

Tough decision, but I will have to decide on Dark Side, for its beautiful studio production and engineering. Animals would make a close second.

OK, I understand. "" is good too and it marked a welcome return to their progressive roots (Enchant were dangerously sliding towards pop territories with 'Break' and 'Juggling').

to me is the first record, the most naive record of the band and the most strange, a masterpiece. the only record older than "in the court of the crimson king"!!!

I voted for Atom Heart Mother, because it deserved a vote IMO, and I really love it (and The Wall also deserves a vote, BTW), but my (real) favorites are Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here.

But this is not about which albums 'deserve a vote'.  The question is which album you think is the best.

I love Wish you were here and it introduced me to Roy Harper, who did vocals on 'Have a Cigar' but Animals is very good as well, the only two I own, yet...

Wish I Was There............. Probably THE best acoustic Prog Song ever... Better than Lucky Man or C'est La Vie. I've always loved long spaced out pieces like Shine on You Crazy Diamond. Welcome to the Machine: heavy and emotional. Have a Cigar sums up the music biz pretty good.
Animals and DSOTM are great, too. But if I could only have one, this is it.

Wish You Were Here, although Animals is just a hair behind it, and Dark Side, The Wall, Obscured By Clouds, Atom Heart Mother and The Division Bell are all just a little behind them.

I don't get Wish You Were Here.. I mean it's good but the 3 middle songs don't really fit the mood of Diamond.

I'm with you on that one m'man
This is definitely the point at which Waters's dictatorship of Floyd's direction took full effect (coincidentally, perhaps, this was the point in time then Rick Wright's creative input to the band began to wane due to ill health - he admits that this was the first time he had gone into the studio with absolutely no ideas or themes written - he was sacked from the band proper following the recording & only ever appeared with Floyd again as a paid session musician; a situation which continued right up to the last time Floyd toured) - the album was Waters's first opportunity to rant fully at the British class system, and I feel this is even angrier an album than either 'The Wall' or 'The Final Cut'.
The combination of Waters having effectively free rein in the studio, and the naked anger in the lyrical content, gave this album a harsh dynamic they never had previously, and never matched afterward.
Catharsis, indeed, and to my mind, one of the real high points of prog-rock

Best Pink Floyd Album
. Their earlier works are more in a psychedelic form than in the space-rock style they began to develop with 'Meddle'. Nevertheless, 'The piper at the gates of dawn' is an adventurous album and probably the best in the Syd Barrett-era
. Although the album I play the most is 'Dark side', I doubt it is their best. 'Animals' is often regarded as their best, so I voted for it.
