@@noyfb4769 yes, it's kinda sad how he always called DSOTM overrated, of course it's popular because of a reason. becomes mainstream it's not mean it's also being bad
Old man here. Been listening to Floyd most my life. It's kinda my addiction. Over the years my favorite Floyd songs have changed over the years. I almost couldn't listen to Division Bell when first released. Kinda funny I was looking for it on u tube when I ran across this young man ranking the best Floyd Albums. Awesome job kiddo. You have single handed restored my faith in youth and musical taste. Hope you do a review of Yes soon
Enjoyed your opinions thoroughly about this great prog group. My 1st album I bought was Ummagumma and I used some of the music in films that I made. Your reviews are awesome. You know your prog music. Congradulations on such a thoughtful analysis!
Very interesting list, glad to see your enjoying the Floyd….the more I keep listening to em my album rankings always change…curious to see if you do a follow up video in a few years…great job on the video!
Woah, a very cool ranking! Animals is a great #1 pick, it's my second favorite (my fav song on it is definitely Pigs!) and your #2, WYWH, is my favorite. AHM in third place was fun to see - just recently listened to it for the first time ever, even though I've been into PF for twenty years...!! It is indeed a great album. And so is The Wall, my #3, haha. I'll have to check your Yes ranking as well. Keep listening to great music! 👍
24 Years Old ... Discovered Pink Floyd 2 Years Ago when I transitioned from modern pop to classic rock. I have friends of my age and younger who are only into mumble raps and uninventive pop songs, but seeing you appreciating pink floyd makes me happy.
Nice to see someone getting an early start on a career in music criticism! Animals has been my number 1 for several years now, but I admit the gap is closing between it and some others for me. Glad to see it so high here. I have some disagreements of opinion but I'll only comment on The Wall. I didn't really like the Wall for years. I liked several of the songs on it but thought there was too much filler and forgettable songs. I listened to it again start-to-finish a few years ago and now it's one of my favorites from Pink Floyd. I don't usually like saying stuff like "you'll get it when you're older" because that's not always true and often just a way of condescending, but I think that's kind of what I'm about to say. The Wall is deeply autobiographical, the "filler" is still important parts of Waters' life. Roger Waters was 36 when The Wall released. I'm in my late 20's now and I think it clicked for me only recently because I'm getting closer to the age Waters was when writing it. I don't just mean that you have to relate to the lyrics or something for it to be good, of course the music has to still be good too. But the music does change appropriately with the life circumstances being described, and it repeats a lot of motifs because we have memories and trauma that cause us to perpetually look back.
That was a fun rundown. Animals is my favorite album too. In regards to The Wall being lower down on the list, I think it will go up in your estimation when you're older. If it's not your favorite musically, fair enough, but lyrically the subjects explored on this record are very heavy. You would need to have had a good amount of life experience to fully understand this. I say that as a kid who enjoyed Pink Floyd at your age, but found new elements to enjoy as an adult.
You should do this list again, 20 years later. I believe it would be interesting to see how the changes you will go through, because of life experiences and different brain chemistry when you are much older, will potentially shift your perspective on Pink Floyd songs and albums. 😊
Wel, this really put a smile on my face watching your review. It is so refreshing seeing someone of your age appreciate a band like Pink Floyd! Wow! I am quite with you on some of your choices, I like that you put "Atom" on number 3 😊👌. Keep enjoying and discovering classic bands!

I’ve been a Pink Floyd fan for a little over 10 years now. I think I may have the Wall as my favourite because I do have some nostalgia with it. But even if you don’t love the album as much as others, you gotta admit the artwork is pretty cool, at least when you have the vinyl.
Hey Berlic, I just discovered your channel; Amazingly fantastic introduction to you. I love you after one video. I've been a life-long fan since 1975, when I was your age. I haven't read most of the comments, but here are some Pink things to pass on. Obscured By Clouds is a movie soundtrack to The Valley (it never did well). If you listen closely to the final track, when the Aborigone is singing, you can hear a cough in the mix. Ummagumma was one side live, one side solo projects. Each member wrote about 10 minutes to express themselves. That's why you get Nick Mason's "The Grand Vizier's Garden Party". I listened to Meddle one night (1979?) while tripping on acid. I went the entire album staring into the members' eyes, one-by-one, back-and-forth, for the 40+ minutes without blinking even when I turned the LP over. Echoes always disturbed me. I was driving home from my girlfriend's house in Baltimore County, MD while in college one night listening to Echoes. A long and winding road through dense woods. When the song gets to the screeching synth and sound effects, I imagined wild mad men with axes and clubs descending from the woods to attack my car. Another night in HS (1979/80) I was tripping on acid and listening to Animals. When the guitar solo in Sheep came on, the music popped out of my speakers (written on staff paper) and bounced around the room in neon colors. Every time it bounced, it changed color. One of These Days was actually titled One of these days I'm gonna chop you into little pieces, which is what Nick Mason says in the song. They (or the record company) shortened it for the album. I have this on a BBC performance of the band, spoken by the host of the show, for verification. Keep up the good work, Berlic. I anticipate watching more of your videos.
You are one cool little dude! Absolutely some great insights. You are gifted beyond your age. Of course, a clear and absolute order is subjective, and, in that sense, nobody is wrong; especially when reviewing a band as prolific and indescribable as PL. Love your list but would love to see your review 50-years from now. It might be much different, a little different, or exactly the same. Either way, you won't be wrong! ROCK ON, Little Bro!!
Love this all!! And such a refreshing listing, love seeing Piper above The Wall! Try the London '66-'67 EP, it's got their best Interstellar Overdrive on it !

I paid a visit to Battersea Power Station, building on the Animals cover, last December. It's been renovated into retail stores and flats. The cool thing is they have a museum detailing the history of the power station and, of course, the Pink Floyd connection. There's also a glass elevator that ascends in one of the smokestacks then sticks out at the top giving a 360 degree view of London. Very cool. I asked but they said none of the Pink Floyd members, so far as they know, have stopped by to see the museum or ride the lift yet.
You have great taste in music! Have you listened to the finnish prog band Haikara? Their first album Haikara and their second album Geafar are absolutely great!
I must submit , though , that your opinion of the vocal in The Great Gig In The Sky will most assuredly change over time . Please don't give up on it .
Nice list and it’s awesome to unashamedly put your opinions out there! I would suggest talking a little slower while recording, but your voice and speech is just fine
Oh wow, this is splendid! Some moments ago I just left a message on your video showing your CD rack that Animals and Wish You Were Here are my two favourite Pink Floyd albums, and now I'm watching this! I won't pretend that it's not marvelous to get my opinion validated. :D Interestingly, many years ago while I first listened to Welcome to the Machine, I was driven off by its different sound from the rest of the album, but it has ever since become a highlight on the album for me. I agree that the real meat in Animals is the three mid songs. I do like Pigs on the Wing though, for how bright and sweet it sounds and how it paints a strong contrast against other songs. Something funny that happened once I listened to the song Sheep - one day a friend sent me a video of a parrot using its owner's iPad, to watch some videos of other parrots. Its owner mischievously messed around with the iPad but the parrot was so clever that it always managed to get back to the videos of its interest. Then I realised I didn't turn on the sound of my PC, so then I did, not knowing that I had Pink Floyd playing on the background. And there I was 6 minutes into Sheep. That ominous melody just made that parrot video super creepy and for a moment I thought it was the audio that came with the video.🤣🤣🤣
Dayum, as a lifelong Floydiot (lovingly self-called, ofc lol), I have some mad respect for you kiddo for your superb and obviously intelligent musical aesthetics (not going with styuopid pop and stuff which today's teens usually are addicted to) and rating AHM highly ( I rated it in my top 5)! Your parents did excellently in introducing you to REAL music kudos to them! Disagreed with half, but I've never seen a young Floydian ever so imma sub. Keep it up, young man! Greetings from a new fan.
Wow, excellent video, it's great to see a young man taking an interest in Pink Floyd's discography, I share the same opinion about Animals, personally a 10/10 album, new subscriber 😺
My favorite album is Dark Side of the Moon because of how jazzy it is, and how easy it is to listen to; Animals is my second favorite album, with Sheep being my favorite. It was hard for me to listen to it because I wanted a more jazzy feel like in the Dark Side, but all albums have to be different. I saw them in concert for the Wall and it was incredible even though I was not a big fan of the Album or the songs, their performance was unbelievable because of their equipment. Their huge Quad speakers dominated, and I was blown away. However the Division Bell concert was EPIC! It was much more enjoyable than the Wall, and it had more of a psychedelic feel to it than the Wall. Thanks for your commentary.
About your review of The Dark Side Of The Moon... I am going to say that it's actually UNDERRATED. Let me explain. So, you say that the album is a bit boring, overrated and the vocals are not the greatest and that you just don't like some songs. Alright, understood. Now, let me explain something. I never truly understood why DSOTM is considered the greatest album of all time. I also found it a bit boring. But then, when something in my life happened, something bad. Out of nowhere, I would listen to The Dark Side Of The Moon and I would completely forget everything that was torturing me. The thing is, this album is like a drug, it makes you numb to your pain. Makes you completely forget about everything. Whenever something bad or extremely painful happened to me, I would just put DSOTM on and out of nowhere, I just feel good again. This album was literally an addiction to me at that hard part of my life. I couldn't stop playing it. So, when you said that "On The Run" is a boring song, to me, it's one of the greatest songs ever created, it's gotten me through so much. You will understand what I mean when you get a bit older, when life get's a bit more tough. So, that's all I had to say. Your review is amazing and you have great taste in music. Keep going man!
I used to think the same about The Wall. About cutting out some of the songs. But over the many years most of those songs that I wasn't crazy about have definitely grown on me. So for me I feel it's actually an underrated album. But I'd say Obscured By Clouds is their most underrated album. DSOTM is favorite of theirs. I used to feel that way about The Beatles double white album too, but now love almost all of the songs on it. The only song I like off of Atom Heart Mother is If. It's good to see a young kid such as yourself so knowledgeable about classic rock.
Alright ....! An informed , interested , and intelligent young man who has taste ...keep up the good work . And thank you from all the 50 year and older Pink Floyd fans . There is hope for good music . There are young people who take the time to listen to older music . Your videos are much appreciated . Take Care .
Μy three top preferences, all equally great : Atom Heart Mother, Meddle, Animals. You have a great taste in music young man. Progressive Rock will never die !
You are one funny little man! I think your list is all over the place although I would agree with some of your comments and I do love Animals... but The Division Bell so low down..? No laddie!! Keep up the good work young sir!
Hmm - interesting. Just to say that Pink Floyd is my all time favourite band and 'Comfortably Numb' is my all time favourite song. When I first heard it I found it so emotional that I literally cried my eyes out on my second time of listening to it and forever after that everytime I hear it. So you like the track 'Atom Heart Mother' do you? Well. I rate it very highly as well as do many PF fans, but strangely, the band actually hated it and if they had their choice would erase it from their memory. I think it's teriffic. Here is a video of (in my view) the greatest performance ever done of this piece. It's a band backed by a full orchestral concert with a large backing choir and the best word that I can describe this particular performance is 'EPIC'. If you like the track 'Atom Heart Mother', then I'm certain you'll absolutely love this particular version - best version that I've found on TH-cam. th-cam.com/video/0ra6B5evR2o/w-d-xo.html
Animals IS the best and good to see Atom Heart Mother ranked so high. I agree. As a matter of fact, I just got back from a trip to London and Cambridge and saw many Pink Floyd-related sites, including Battersea Power Station (Animals) and Kitts End Farm (Atom Heart Mother). Great to hear a young man appreciate Pink Floyd! Cheers!
Great to see a young person with good music taste! Personally I think Dark Side Of The Moon is not just Pink Floyd's best album but the greatest album ever made, first heard it on it's release in 1973 and still listening to it 51 years later.
Well, you made my day here. I wonder if kids your age can save rock ‘n’ roll with the love of it. The fact that you don’t really like The Wall is what impresses me the most. OK, so I’m 61 and from my point of view Pink Floyd was banned I found before they became famous at all. At least to the extent that they did after they did the Darkside of the Moon album, and then The Wall. It’s great to see someone else someone so young who likes some of the early albums and rates than higher than some of the later ones. My first Pink Floyd album was Atom Heart Mother. I remember that I had not heard of Pink Floyd and I bought the album because it had cows on it. My dad was a rancher and I thought that I could show him the album with the cows on it and I fell in love with it. And I spent a lot of time, trying to get friends to listen to the band, and none of them would ever listen to it, and they always wanted me to take off the music until the day. Darkside came out. I will admit, I like the album, but it was at that moment when I realized they didn’t wanna listen to any of the early stuff and that that was the only album they wanted to here I sort of threw my hands up in the air and said OK that’s it. I’m not gonna try and force Pink Floyd on anyone else and I continue to listen to the early music. Of course, Darkside of the moon was played an awful lot and it was the last Pink Floyd album I bought first release your first day of release, probably until the final cut came out. What are my favorite albums? I’m gonna just give you five the top five. Obscured by Clouds. This is also actually a soundtrack album. The most people do not realize it. I feel that this album represents the best of the band before they started Writing all the fantastic long songs, which I also do love. It just has a special place in my heart. Next would be Adam Heart Mother, Meddle and then Animals. The wall came out when I was in high school and all I can say is I hated it I didn’t even consider it Pink Floyd and while I understand your perspective may be different from my perspective anything that does not have Roger Waters and David Gilmour also on the album or not Pink Floyd and thus I do not count them as Pink Floyd.
If you like Animals, give the live version from Les Claypool and the Flying Frog Brigade a listen. I might even rank it above the original, because they do it live and in one take. The back cover of that album should be the rear end of a farm truck with a "Live Animals" sign.
My top five: 1) Dark side of the moon. 2) Wish you were here. 3) Meedle. 4) Animals. 5) A Momentart laps of reason..... but I envoy to ear your argumentation. Have a good time, listening PF music but don't forget Deep Purple, Led Zep, Jethro tull, Barclay James Harvest, Supertramp, Rush....🙏
If you love Pink Floyd you should check out the space rock band Eloy, they released alot of great albums in the 70s and early 80s, especially Ocean, Silent Cries and Mighty Echoes, Dawn, Planets, Time to Turn!
I am a Pink Floyd and I love all their albums.They have some great classic albums.But,"Ummagumma is a album I most I hear and enjoy than others of their classic albums.
Go Animals! 1. Animals 2. The Dark Side of the Moon 3. Wish You Were Here 4. The Wall 5. Meddle 6. Atom Heart Mother 7. The Division Bell 8. Obscured by Clouds 9. A Saucerful of Secrets 10.

Interesting list. I respectfully disagree with some of your rankings (The Wall is my #1 and Atom Heart Mother would be in my bottom half), but I liked hearing your critiques.
Good analysis & ranking. I don't agree with them all, but you gave your reasons, which is fine enough by me! Just a note - Obscured By Clouds is also a soundtrack album (to the French movie La Vallee), which lends to it's 'folkier' sound. Ummagumma was an experimental idea, where each member did their own songs with no involvement from the other members (Sysyphus 1-4 was Rick Wright, Several Species..., Granchester Meadows was Waters, Narrow Way 1-3 was Gilmour & Grand Vizier 1-3 was Mason). I'm with you on The Wall - it cracks my top 10, but it's definitely not my favourite! WYWH, Animals, Dark Side, Meddle & Obscured make my top 5. Cheers.
umagumma maybe a strange experience but Celestial Voices is one of the most beautiful compostitons i ever heard! (it is included in Saucerful of secrets)
Umma Gumma is actually a great album I bought it when it first came out. very progressive/ experimental but it was part of their growing process. I agree The Wall does little for me
Even though Pink Floyd was a predominantly albums band and their albums were predominantly concept albums. I still have favourite songs rather than favourite albums. I mean, I thought the version of astronomy Domine on the first album was a really chunky bit of power pop. With interstellar overdrive, there are better versions elsewhere. I think as a concept album Darkside of the moon works almost perfectly and is really only let down by the last song, but that’s only my opinion.
@@ChristianB925 Okay "a tad overrated" what is the difference? And Several Species Of Small Furry Animals Gathered In A Cave And Grooving With A Pict is a mouthful...
@@ChristianB925 That's even more hilarious! And I'm just messing with you, everyone has their own tastes. Listening to that again I guess I miss heard you. So I'll complain about "too much Roger Waters" absolute blasphemy!
Agree. Actually, as many have put it, Final Cut is the first solo album by Roger Waters. In some ways, even The Wall can be considered a solo album by RW. And AMLOR and DB are not PF, by any measure.
It's nice to see young folks likes pink floyd too
ANIMALS !
& GREAT JOB Mr. B. !
Yes, even when they don't realize how overrated 'overrated' is😉.
@@noyfb4769 yes, it's kinda sad how he always called DSOTM overrated, of course it's popular because of a reason. becomes mainstream it's not mean it's also being bad
@@schrodinger_kotit's not bad but it's overrated, that's true

I have done Yes, and i absolutely love them. It means alot seeing people comment on my videos so thanks!
Division Bell my favourite!
Finally, a young person with great musical taste! You are gonna go far dude! Keep the great music alive.
It's great to see young ones enjoying the great music of the 1960's,70s and80s. I have now subscribed to your channel. Keep up the good work!
Respect for putting Animals at #1.
Dogs is my favorite song of all time so it’s cool to see young people appreciating it too 🤘

Love this all!! And such a refreshing listing, love seeing Piper above The Wall!

It IS?????????????????????????????!!!!@@ErichLRuehs

Then I realised I didn't turn on the sound of my PC, so then I did, not knowing that I had Pink Floyd playing on the background. And there I was 6 minutes into Sheep. That ominous melody just made that parrot video super creepy and for a moment I thought it was the audio that came with the video.🤣🤣🤣
Dayum, as a lifelong Floydiot (lovingly self-called, ofc lol), I have some mad respect for you kiddo for your superb and obviously intelligent musical aesthetics (not going with styuopid pop and stuff which today's teens usually are addicted to) and rating AHM highly ( I rated it in my top 5)! Your parents did excellently in introducing you to REAL music kudos to them! Disagreed with half, but I've never seen a young Floydian ever so imma sub. Keep it up, young man! Greetings from a new fan.
Wow, excellent video, it's great to see a young man taking an interest in Pink Floyd's discography, I share the same opinion about Animals, personally a 10/10 album, new subscriber 😺
My favorite album is Dark Side of the Moon because of how jazzy it is, and how easy it is to listen to; Animals is my second favorite album, with Sheep being my favorite. It was hard for me to listen to it because I wanted a more jazzy feel like in the Dark Side, but all albums have to be different. I saw them in concert for the Wall and it was incredible even though I was not a big fan of the Album or the songs, their performance was unbelievable because of their equipment. Their huge Quad speakers dominated, and I was blown away. However the Division Bell concert was EPIC! It was much more enjoyable than the Wall, and it had more of a psychedelic feel to it than the Wall. Thanks for your commentary.
Very impressed by your music knowledge-keep it up!
You’re not correct the Wall is not overrated. It’s a masterpiece.
One year listening to their music and change my mind
Very nice. You should review 'MGMT' next. Their 5th LP releases tomorrow. They're one of the greatest and most underrated bands imo.
About your review of The Dark Side Of The Moon... I am going to say that it's actually UNDERRATED. Let me explain. So, you say that the album is a bit boring, overrated and the vocals are not the greatest and that you just don't like some songs. Alright, understood. Now, let me explain something. I never truly understood why DSOTM is considered the greatest album of all time. I also found it a bit boring. But then, when something in my life happened, something bad. Out of nowhere, I would listen to The Dark Side Of The Moon and I would completely forget everything that was torturing me. The thing is, this album is like a drug, it makes you numb to your pain. Makes you completely forget about everything. Whenever something bad or extremely painful happened to me, I would just put DSOTM on and out of nowhere, I just feel good again. This album was literally an addiction to me at that hard part of my life. I couldn't stop playing it. So, when you said that "On The Run" is a boring song, to me, it's one of the greatest songs ever created, it's gotten me through so much. You will understand what I mean when you get a bit older, when life get's a bit more tough. So, that's all I had to say. Your review is amazing and you have great taste in music. Keep going man!
I used to think the same about The Wall. About cutting out some of the songs. But over the many years most of those songs that I wasn't crazy about have definitely grown on me. So for me I feel it's actually an underrated album. But I'd say Obscured By Clouds is their most underrated album. DSOTM is favorite of theirs. I used to feel that way about The Beatles double white album too, but now love almost all of the songs on it. The only song I like off of Atom Heart Mother is If. It's good to see a young kid such as yourself so knowledgeable about classic rock.
Nice video! Your ranking is fairly different from mine, but great choices! Love Animals too! Cheers, Jack
Your ranking video has given me an idea to make my special ranking of the best/worst smelling Pink Floyd albums 😆
Alright ....! An informed , interested , and intelligent young man who has taste ...keep up the good work . And thank you from all the 50 year and older Pink Floyd fans . There is hope for good music . There are young people who take the time to listen to older music . Your videos are much appreciated . Take Care .
Love your list that is very similar to mine except maybe for DSOTM that is much lower😅.
Μy three top preferences, all equally great : Atom Heart Mother, Meddle, Animals. You have a great taste in music young man. Progressive Rock will never die !
You are one funny little man! I think your list is all over the place although I would agree with some of your comments and I do love Animals... but The Division Bell so low down..? No laddie!! Keep up the good work young sir!
i agree with you dogs is a really good song they really KILLED it with that guitar solo and davids unique voice!
This is cool!! Keep making these dude
Great list.keep up the good work.
There is still hope for the world, when young people knows and loves PF
Hmm - interesting. Just to say that Pink Floyd is my all time favourite band and 'Comfortably Numb' is my all time favourite song. When I first heard it I found it so emotional that I literally cried my eyes out on my second time of listening to it and forever after that everytime I hear it.
So you like the track 'Atom Heart Mother' do you? Well. I rate it very highly as well as do many PF fans, but strangely, the band actually hated it and if they had their choice would erase it from their memory. I think it's teriffic. Here is a video of (in my view) the greatest performance ever done of this piece. It's a band backed by a full orchestral concert with a large backing choir and the best word that I can describe this particular performance is 'EPIC'. If you like the track 'Atom Heart Mother', then I'm certain you'll absolutely love this particular version - best version that I've found on TH-cam.

Great to see AHM getting some love, the album cover is fantastic but the tracks are great, it just creates a really cool vibe
You're a smart kid, great to see the good music taste starting out young! Check out Camel, probably the most underrated 70s prog band ever
Animals IS the best and good to see Atom Heart Mother ranked so high. I agree. As a matter of fact, I just got back from a trip to London and Cambridge and saw many Pink Floyd-related sites, including Battersea Power Station (Animals) and Kitts End Farm (Atom Heart Mother). Great to hear a young man appreciate Pink Floyd! Cheers!
Omg awesome to see someone put ahm so high it's by easily my favourite, with animals as my second best
Great to see a young person with good music taste! Personally I think Dark Side Of The Moon is not just Pink Floyd's best album but the greatest album ever made, first heard it on it's release in 1973 and still listening to it 51 years later.
Well You have done young padawan!
Impressive kid, subscribed
Passing the Floyd baton onto the kids of today.....
Excellent job. 🌈
Well, you made my day here. I wonder if kids your age can save rock ‘n’ roll with the love of it.
The fact that you don’t really like The Wall is what impresses me the most.
OK, so I’m 61 and from my point of view Pink Floyd was banned I found before they became famous at all. At least to the extent that they did after they did the Darkside of the Moon album, and then The Wall.
It’s great to see someone else someone so young who likes some of the early albums and rates than higher than some of the later ones. My first Pink Floyd album was Atom Heart Mother. I remember that I had not heard of Pink Floyd and I bought the album because it had cows on it. My dad was a rancher and I thought that I could show him the album with the cows on it and I fell in love with it.
And I spent a lot of time, trying to get friends to listen to the band, and none of them would ever listen to it, and they always wanted me to take off the music until the day. Darkside came out. I will admit, I like the album, but it was at that moment when I realized they didn’t wanna listen to any of the early stuff and that that was the only album they wanted to here I sort of threw my hands up in the air and said OK that’s it. I’m not gonna try and force Pink Floyd on anyone else and I continue to listen to the early music. Of course, Darkside of the moon was played an awful lot and it was the last Pink Floyd album I bought first release your first day of release, probably until the final cut came out.
What are my favorite albums? I’m gonna just give you five the top five.
Obscured by Clouds. This is also actually a soundtrack album. The most people do not realize it. I feel that this album represents the best of the band before they started Writing all the fantastic long songs, which I also do love. It just has a special place in my heart.
Next would be Adam Heart Mother, Meddle and then Animals.
The wall came out when I was in high school and all I can say is I hated it I didn’t even consider it Pink Floyd and while I understand your perspective may be different from my perspective anything that does not have Roger Waters and David Gilmour also on the album or not Pink Floyd and thus I do not count them as Pink Floyd.
Summer ‘68 might be my favorite song of theirs
Great list !
good list, my fav goes to the wall but i won't debate if someone picks animals as #1 because it is an amazing album.
If you like Animals, give the live version from Les Claypool and the Flying Frog Brigade a listen. I might even rank it above the original, because they do it live and in one take. The back cover of that album should be the rear end of a farm truck with a "Live Animals" sign.
les claypool sucks
Primus sucks@@lucasgraeff5391
dark side of the moo over dark side of the moon is a crazy hot take, but good job!
I've heard it called Backside of the Moo 😂
Hello, another young kid here in the comments! nice to see another young fan of floyd!
i'm agree👍👍
alternative title: gigachad Kid ranks Piper number 7 while the wall is number 8
I’m the gigachad kid!
Animals........is the correct answer 👏
Ummagumma was my first love
The Dark Side of the Moon my great love
but Atom Heart Mother was always my true love
It's funny that my favorite albums are The Final Cut, Atom Heart Mother and Wish you Where Here
My top five:
1) Dark side of the moon.
2) Wish you were here.
3) Meedle.
4) Animals.
5) A Momentart laps of reason..... but I envoy to ear your argumentation. Have a good time, listening PF music but don't forget Deep Purple, Led Zep, Jethro tull, Barclay James Harvest, Supertramp, Rush....🙏
If you love Pink Floyd you should check out the space rock band Eloy, they released alot of great albums in the 70s and early 80s, especially Ocean, Silent Cries and Mighty Echoes, Dawn, Planets, Time to Turn!
What is your favorit pink floyd song?
Dogs
@@ChristianB925 very cool. Mine is shine on you crazy diamond👍

I adore Meddle, not so sure about A Momentary Lapse of Reason. The only time I saw them was on that tour.
The final cut I really like. Always thought it was underrated. Love you listen to it all tho.
awesome intro
Interesting list. I respectfully disagree with some of your rankings (The Wall is my #1 and Atom Heart Mother would be in my bottom half), but I liked hearing your critiques.
Good analysis & ranking. I don't agree with them all, but you gave your reasons, which is fine enough by me!
Just a note - Obscured By Clouds is also a soundtrack album (to the French movie La Vallee), which lends to it's 'folkier' sound. Ummagumma was an experimental idea, where each member did their own songs with no involvement from the other members (Sysyphus 1-4 was Rick Wright, Several Species..., Granchester Meadows was Waters, Narrow Way 1-3 was Gilmour & Grand Vizier 1-3 was Mason).
I'm with you on The Wall - it cracks my top 10, but it's definitely not my favourite! WYWH, Animals, Dark Side, Meddle & Obscured make my top 5. Cheers.
This video is fire
Atom Heart Mother is my favorite.
great to see some youngsters getting in to some REAL MUSIC!!!
Good analysis kid! DSOTM on headphones takes you away!
Dark Side Of The Moon is #1 for me..followed by Wish You Were Here and Animals
And your analysis of Interstellar Overdrive...
umagumma maybe a strange experience but Celestial Voices is one of the most beautiful compostitons i ever heard! (it is included in Saucerful of secrets)
Celestial voices is great at pompeii
Animals is indeed my favorite ❤
Umma Gumma is actually a great album I bought it when it first came out.
very progressive/ experimental but it was part of their growing process.
I agree The Wall does little for me
Recently, Roger Waters said Ummagumma is horrible
I think The Wall is my favourite, but I love the 1994 pink Floyd album too
The final cut is good
🌠good video dude....
Great vid
Ummagumma is a pretty good album tbh.
Even though Pink Floyd was a predominantly albums band and their albums were predominantly concept albums. I still have favourite songs rather than favourite albums. I mean, I thought the version of astronomy Domine on the first album was a really chunky bit of power pop. With interstellar overdrive, there are better versions elsewhere. I think as a concept album Darkside of the moon works almost perfectly and is really only let down by the last song, but that’s only my opinion.
"The Final Cut is overrated" lmao. Yeah, that's as far as I got into this video
I literally never even said that lol
@@ChristianB925 Okay "a tad overrated" what is the difference? And Several Species Of Small Furry Animals Gathered In A Cave And Grooving With A Pict is a mouthful...
@@DenariusHaveNarius your saying I called the Final Cut overrated, but i said the wall was.
@@ChristianB925 That's even more hilarious! And I'm just messing with you, everyone has their own tastes. Listening to that again I guess I miss heard you. So I'll complain about "too much Roger Waters" absolute blasphemy!
@@DenariusHaveNarius I did and didn’t hear it, thanks for watching anyway
Very good!
Final Cut is underrated.
Final Cut is for me basically the wall part 2. try to listen to the wall, and then the Final Cut album
The Final Cut is brutally underrated and AMLOR and Division Bell are overrated
Agree. Actually, as many have put it, Final Cut is the first solo album by Roger Waters. In some ways, even The Wall can be considered a solo album by RW. And AMLOR and DB are not PF, by any measure.
