Wow you make me feel old I've been listening to floyd since the wall came out saw the movie in the theater and then saw waters and Clapton doing all floyd music amazing show in 1984
I have been anxiously awaiting this video! I had never really ventured out into Pink Floyd until I started collecting records. Pink Floyd is one of those bands that I just could never understand why people liked them. But when I actually sat down and listened to the album in full I understood it. Of course I started with Dark Side of The Moon and The Wall and from there I kind of just started picking up random albums from Pink Floyd. I'd have to say that Animals is my favorite, that I have heard anyway.
Hey Marichen! Thrills me that you were waiting for this one! Believe me, the Floyd were a band that I encountered a bit later during early High scool and it just took me over like an obsession. Once I soaked in their work and did my research and learned the story, it just latched on to me that KISS now had a neighbor in regards to my favorite bands. Animals is absolutely killer, I always crank it when Im feeling on edge LOL. Thanks for tuning in!
Hey Spinner , thank you very much , its really Neat to see younger folks embracing 70s rock n Roll and music in general.I really appreciate your Show, your enthusiasm and knowledge you give a fantastic presentation , will be a subscriber for sure Thanx Rock on my friend!
I think you were right on the money with these rankings. I love all the information you give throughout the video as well. You are very talented. Great job!
so many people knock the wall ...like it's the cool thing to put it down...I have loved it since I was 5 when it came out. every 5 to 10 years I play it cover to cover and it amazes me more and more ....for me I like dark side and the wall the best...animals is right there too...I felt wish you were here is so highly rated by floyd fans that it is impossible for it to measure up ...its good, but I still feel the wall and dark side are the best..I see people rating the division bell ahead of the wall...I dont get it
Finally gotten around to this video! That intro gets me every time!! I can't find too many disagreements with ya here. I've still yet to pick up "More," and part of me wants to as a secret completist, but I question how much I will play them if I pick it up. The knowledge you posses, I sweat to god... A pro! "The Endless River " is something I neglect in their discography, and should pay more attention to. Maybe you're the push I need to get back to listening to it. LOVE ME SOME DIVISION BELL! I was just listening to Meddle last night, it gets better every time I listen to it. Amazing video, Dylan! Love these "ranking" videos, because you don't just rank them, but you give context, a brief history, and explain your actual reasoning behind them. Perfect stuff!
Jenna!!!! Thank you for tuning in! Listen, that completist blood in us is absolutely rabid so I get it. I’m really glad tho that you learned from This vid. These types of videos allow me to express my nerdy knowledge of things that aren’t necessary to know 😂 I can gladly say that there are more rankings in the pipeline ready to go! Definitely let me know what you think of the endless river once you get to it. Thanks for being so awesome and thanks for tuning in!
Love Pink Floyd, here’s mine: 15. More 14. The Endless River 13. Ummagumma 12. The Momentary Lapse of Reason 11. The Final Cut 10. The Piper at the Gates of Dawn 9. Obscured By Clouds 8. A Saucerful of Secrets 7. Atom Heart Mother 6. The Division Bell 5. Animals 4. Meddle 3. The Wall 2. Wish You Were Here 1. Dark Side of the Moon
Everyone’s opinion of favorite Pink Floyd albums is different. Personally, I’m not a big fan of Roger Water. That’s just me I’d rather listen to David Gilmour and Richard Wright solo albums. I’ve been collecting Pink Floyd albums since 1971 when I was in junior high school My first Pink Floyd album I bought was Atom Heart Mother and I bought every one since then as they were released, except The Final Cut, which I have never bought on vinyl, cassette, or CD. And yet it’s my little sister’s favorite Floyd album. 1. Atom Heart Mother 2. Wish You Were Here 3. Meddle 4. The Dark Side of the Moon 5. Obscured By Clouds 6. The Endless River 7. The Division Bell 8. Piper at the Gates of Dawn 9. Ummagumma 10. A Momentary Lapse of Reason 11. A Saucerful of Secrets 12. Animals 13. More 14. The Wall 15. The Final Cut
Roger surely had a mark on the band but once it started to reflect his own views (especially politics), then it just turned into a bit of a different animal. Decent ranking!
Great list man, always love seeing people’s opinions on the Floyd albums. From worst to best for me: Final Cut Endless River Momentary Lapse of Reason More Ummagumma The Wall (Just never got into the whole rock opera thing but I do recognize its greatness and influence. I think the music really suffers in place of the story. However, it does have some of Floyd’s best songs.) Obscured by Clouds Division Bell A Saucerful of Secrets Piper at the Gates of Dawn Meddle (For me San Tropez and Seamus kind of knock this down, just think they’re redundant and pointless tbh the music is pretty underwhelming for Floyd) Atom Heart Mother Wish You Were Here Dark Side of the Moon Animals. Honestly my top 3 are interchangeable. Some days Wish You Were Here is my fav because of how personal it is for the band and how dark it is. Other days it’s Dark Side for how original and unique it is. There’s really nothing that sounds like Dark Side. For me it’s one of those really special albums, Bitches Brew by Miles Davis is another. Currently it’s Animals because of how raw and heavy yet epic it is. I think the lyrics are pretty incredible and relevant even today and Gilmour’s guitar work is absolutely devastating. And I really dig the early Floyd, especially the live shows. I love the really edgy psychedelic jamming thing they had going on during that period. Really exploratory and creative imo love when Pink Floyd improvises.
Great video i love how you research the material & give solid reasons why you like or dislike something. As a musician I love the fact that like food music is very subjective. I mean if i listened to Rolling Stone magazine I wouldn't own 3/4 of the vinyl I own lol. My fave Animals....came out when punk was big in England. Love Meddle...Echoes such a great tune. The Wall Piper & Wish you were here... honestly tired of Dark Side...like I said subjective. Louder than Words See Emily Play... phenomenal. Great videos.
1. The Wall 2. Dark Side 3. Wish You were Here 4. Animals 5. Division Bell 6. Meddle 7. Final Cut 8. Atom Heart Mother 9. Saucerful of Secrets 10. Piper At The Gates of Dawn 11.A Momentary Lapse of Reason 12. More 13. Obscured by Clouds 14. Ummagumma Did not include Endless river as I did not listen to it
I find it interesting how people's taste and how they receive music is so unique.... Your number 12 A Momentary Lapse Of Reason.... I would rank number 2 on my list..... One of the greatest albums of all time in my opinion.. and my favorite Floyd album... My number 1 would have to be... The Division Bell. An absolute masterpiece to my ears....
I respect people's opinions...I just cant put an album without waters at number 1 not to mention the tracks...I love momentary lapse of reason...since you love division bell give me some of what you like about it so much so I can listen again...it just never connected and I felt like they were on their last legs.. I love this band and am hoping the division bell grows on me
@@michaelfrazia4569My apologie I somehow missed your comment and happen to return to this video a few years later.... likewise, I respect everyone's opinion of what they like and don't like as well. I can only say that to my ears and taste, The Division Bell is a masterpiece to me. Stand out examples though are Take It Back, Coming Back To Life, Poles Apart, Lost For Words , High Hopes, Marooned.. Marooned.. grab an ice tea or your favorite beverage. Layers back, close your eyes and for me... David Gilmore's guitar playing takes me away to a peaceful place on a deserted island where all life stress leaves me. Coming Back To Life. The music build and and Gilmore's voice truly brings tears to my eyes in this track,it's so moving and heart felt. High Hopes. From the sound of the bell, to the bee in the background to the lyrics and band. Powerful song that gives me goosebumps. I could go on... But maybe for you, this album has grown on you, maybe not. Maybe another Floyd album moves you in the way this one does for me. If you happen to catch this reply... I'd welcome your follow up thoughts. Cheers.. .
Nice ranking and insight into the Pink Floyd discography, I’ve always enjoyed Pink Floyd but it was great to get some context on each album. My favorite is Obscured Clouds, which I agree is definitely underrated! Just came across your channel recently through watching the collab video you did with Mike! Awesome stuff so I subscribed!
Hey Dylan. Wow, for a nearly 30 minute video, this thing flew by super fast. Very enjoyable and informative as always. I still have a long way to go in my Pink Floyd journey. Between our chats, the video with Mazzy, and now this one ... I feel like I've learned so much already. I cannot wait to delve deeper into their catalog. I'm more familiar with their 70s catalog over everything else. Out of what I have listened to already (and I have a bit to go), WYWH always comes out on top for me. Wonderful job.
Hey Emma! Haha glad that it didnt feel like a half hour! The Floyd discography venture is one that has many interesting turns, especially in the early years. The pre-Dark Side era is perhaps the most adventurous and the most varying in terms of material. Hope this ranking will serve you well! Thank you for tuning in!
Nice one Dylan...another great vid. Loved your session with Mazzy too. Cool that you love Kiss. I just recently found my Kiss cushion covers that I got in the 70s. My first ever album was Unmasked....played it to death. Take care mate 👍
Thank you Steve! Omg that is awesome! Id do anything to live as a kid during the KISSteria hype in the late 70s. Take care man and thanks for tuning in!
Anamils is my favorite, I think it is great. I never liked the final cut I was disappointed when it come out, it was a let down for me. I was in jr high and wanted another album like the wall I guess. Great video man!!
Hey Rod! Animals is an absolutely killer album! Everyone in the comments digs it and its giving me ideas for a future video. Hey I wouldve felt the same way if I were you. Thank you so much for tuning in!
1. Dark side of the moon 2. Animals 3. Wish you were here 4. Wall 5. Meddle 6. Atom heart mother 7. Saucerful of secrets 8. Obscured by clouds 9. Piper at the gates of dawn 10. More 11. Ummagumma Haven’t really heard the rest except for songs like high hopes, marooned, sorrow, learning to fly etc
15. Ummagumma ( studio ) 14. Endless River 13. More 12. Piper at the Gates of Dawn 11. Final Cut 10. Momentary Lapse of Reason 9. Saucerful of Secrets 8. The Division Bell 7. Obscured By Clouds 6. Meddle 5. The Wall 4. Wish You Were Here 3. Darkside of the Moon 2. Atom Heart Mother 1. Animals
Great video! Even tho I would rank the records a bit different. I would have The Final Cut higher up in the list. And I think Animals is number 1 for me! Love that one. I would be really happy if you could rank Rush studio records as well! Would be fun to see!
A lot of people put Animals wayyyyy high on their lists and I totally understand. Its my 2nd favorite and it just has so much angst and aggression to it, its amazing. A Rush ranking is very well possible, kinda daunting but doable! Gonna start working up a list! Thanks so much for tuning in!
Admittedly, I am not the biggest Pink Floyd fan, I only own a couple of their releases and those were handed down to me. I do however always enjoy somebodies take on a full discography. It gives you insight into a band that you might not of thought about.
@@TheRecordSpinner I just have Dark Side and The Wall. They are good for a listen every once in a while, just not something I could listen too all the time. I guess they just don't effect me the same way they do other folks.
15: More 14: The Endless River 13: Ummagumma 12: Obscured by Clouds 11: A Momentary Lapse of Reason 10: Atom Heart Mother 9: The Final Cut 8: The Division Bell 7: A Saucerful of Secrets 6: Piper at the Gates of Dawn 5: The Wall 4: Meddle 3: The Dark Side of the Moon 2: Wish You Were Here 1: Animals
Great vid; I really enjoyed your ranking! I'm not a big Pink Floyd fan but I really like Wish You Were and Animals. Thanks for sharing and take care :-)
You said Piper at the gates of dawn was your favorite pf album, but ranked it at 6. And said Animals was your 2nd favorite album, but ranked it at 4. I'm confused... Usually a ranking is made from least favorite to favorite.
Very enjoyable video. You obviously have great love and knowledge of all their music. The list is pretty safe and uncontroversial but probably what many people would think. I only argue that you cant consider Ummagumma live album. That was what was released so you need to have that in mind when putting it in order. Great job. Ps. All the records look in mint condition. All new presses? PSS. I personally own 800ish pink floyd/solo lps and singles on vinyl.
I think I'd rank it as: 1. The Wall (Epic and grand, with some hard rock and its just a great rock opera) 2. Animals (interchangeable with The Wall. The 3 main songs are well written and it its a fascinating and dark political album that applies just as much today as it did in 1977. Its kind of timeless) 3. Dark Side of the Moon (Great sounding and put together, with great tracks) 4. Wish You Were Here (Amazing synthwork) 5. A Saucerful of Secrets (Strong tracks, psychedelic and experimental) 6. Piper at the Gates of Dawn (I actually like this a bit more than Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band) 7. Meddle (Primarily thanks to Echoes. Although the A-side tracks are good) 8. Obscured by Clouds (Very underrated, and a fun little record) 9. Atom Heart Mother (The title track is great, and If is a great folky song, and Summer 68 is a banger. Fat Old Sun and Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast are okay) 10. The Division Bell (High Hopes is amazing) 11. More (Pretty good soundtrack with Nile Song being a banger. Its enjoyable to listen to, but isn't that memorable, but I do think that its slightly better than the other albums, even if most would rank them higher (except Ummagumma)) 12. A Momentary Lapse of Reason (A good commercial rock record, but not very Pink Floyd like in quality. Sorrow is good though) 13. The Final Cut (too much Waters, although I like his style, this album doesn't really feel like Pink Floyd. However, props to it for being a pretty dark and emotional record) 14. Ummagumma (too weird for me. The live disc is great though, with the best versions of the songs it contained... Well, until Pompeii came along and eclipsed it) I haven't listened to Endless River, but I'd probably rank it 14 or 15. Its just not my style from what I've read. To elaborate on certain albums: -Ummagumma has some merit in experimentation, as although it isn't very great to sit through, it is interesting technically and maybe sonically. I just wish that more was put into it, and that the experimentation went beyond simple noise making. To me, its not experimental enough that it becomes truly avant-garde and fascinating, but its too experimental to be enjoyable like their sophomore album A Saucerful of Secrets. I think the title track of A Saucerful of Secrets is what Ummagumma should've been like. Its cacophonous at times, yes, but it serves a purpose (representing a battle) and apart from that its great. I do find the Small Furry Animals song to be interesting because its done without instruments, and relies only on vocal effects and tape effects, which is cool I guess. -Atom Heart Mother has some great hornwork and psychedelic parts. The two slide solos in Milk Breasty, and Remergence are some of Gilmour's best guitar solos in a studio album. (Pink Floyd) They're very nice sounding and are what I can only describe as very 60's sounding. If is a great folk song, and Summer 68 has some nice hornwork and is a great pop song. It actually sounds a bit like The Turtles at times. (with the post-chorus thing where Wright scats) Fat Old Sun is decent, and Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast is kinda stupid if I'm honest. I do wish they used more horns and other brass instruments, because a psychedelic jazz fusion record would be great. -A Saucerful of Secrets is a slight improvement on their debut (not to say it was bad, because they debuted with a fantastic album) and while most rank this below their debut, I rank it just above. The opening track is great, with the chorus/refrain being great and stuff. Remember a Day is also very nice, and Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun is a mystical sounding song, and I like it. Corporal Clegg is great, and its just so funny. The kazoo solos are just s c r u m p t i o u s. The title track is great too, as is See-Saw which highlights how beautiful Wright's voice is. Jugband Blues is chilling and actually kind of sad, especially with the last verse. It also seems the most diverse in musical contribution from the band. All 5 members sing in it, with Corporal Clegg featuring vocals from the main 4. (Waters, Gilmour, Mason and Wright) It just to me feels the most like a group contribution, with other albums feeling like its just a bunch of songs mostly from a single member.
I'd've dropped The (oh so) Endless River and The Derivative Bell down the ranking myself ;-) I got into Floyd when Animals was released, and had bought all the LPs by the time Momentary Lapse was released. My musical tastes moved on (but still held those earlier albums dear to my heart) so I guess that's why I didn't get what followed.
I'm a psych guy through and through at the moment ( I ignored the early Floyd albums till last year) so overall my favorites are Piper, saucer, more. The later years stuff became a bit bland for me after hearing it so much but I do admire and enjoy it. It simply takes a bit more attention to detail to notice something I didn't notice before.
Hello Dylan ! Apart from a couple of small differences of opinion , lower down the list , we are pretty much in agreement the whole way. What are your future plans for listing other artists catalogues ? Alice Cooper ? Led Zeppelin ? Looking forward to them. Have a great weekend and stay safe. Cheers!!
Hey there Roger! What is your ranking? So I can say that one of the artists you mentioned is actually already done and in the can. A lot of people in the comments asked for a Rush ranking so that is something I am working up. Basically any catalogs that I have all of their works of on vinyl are contenders and there are still plenty of options. We shall see what the future holds. Thank you for tuning in as always!
The Record Spinner : Well , the small changes I would apply according to my personal preferences is : I would put The final cut at the bottom , Endless river a couple of steps higher up , Piper at 2nd and The Wall at 3rd. That’s the minor changes. I’m really looking forward to your forthcoming catalogue rankings. Stay safe.
Thank you Owen! And I did! The 45 rpm versions sounds killer but omg, when it got to the 33 rpm version it sounded like a real trip! I need to check out more stuff in that vein, it makes for good background music indeed.
I love cows, and I got atom heart mother because of the cows on the sleeve 🤣But the atom heart mother suite is hilarious as is Alan's psychedelic breakfast
Excellent ranking video, although quite different from my own ranking. But one thing makes no sense to me: you rank The Wall at #2 but The Final Cut at #13. I'd understand ranking one a few places below the other, but you're essentially saying one's almost the best Floyd album and the other almost the worst...is it just the absence of Richard Wright and Waters' domination that made you put TFC so low? I feel TFC features some of Gilmour's finest solos, incredibly powerful, heartfelt and emotional lyrics, wonderful production (including masterful background sounds/effects) and beautifully subtle musical arrangements. Waters at his peak. It's top 3 for me. Animals The Final Cut Wish You Were Here The Wall Dark Side Of The Moon Meddle The Endless River The Division Bell Obscured By Clouds Momentary Lapse Of Reason Atom Heart Mother Ummagumma More A Saucerful Of Secrets Piper At The Gates Of Dawn
Top 10 -10 pipers at the gates of dawn 9 saucerful of secrets 8 wish you were here 7 meddle 6 final cut 5 dark side of the moon 4. The wall 3. Division bell 2. Animals 1 . Momentary lapse of reason
David and what's his name are dressed like the two Corey's in the picture on the inside of Momentary... I got that album around Xmas of 86 along with The Wall, Dark Side, Animals and Wish You Were Here on vinyl of course. That album was definitely an 80s production. 9 by PIL is another great example of that 80s sound
I cant unsee that now, thats hilarious! Wow, Christmas 86 mustve been an exceptional one for you. I remember I got the WYWH and Wall Immersion box sets for Christmas back in 2012, what a time!

Great review even if our opinions differ, but then it’s all about personal taste and there’s no right or wrong list. My top five are DSOTM, Meddle, Ummagumma, The Wall and Piper. WYWH disappointed me when it first came out, apart from Shine On, and still remains so. Animals is some way down my list.
Someone gets it! Very nice top five! Wow, you may be the one person who didn’t put animals high. It appears to be a favorite of everyone in the comment section! lol
Hi Dylan!! thanks for sharing your thought and ranking, in my opinion i think The Wall, it's a little bit overrated compared to Wish you were here, what a great piece of music and Dark side of the moon it's flawless. I stll need to check early floyd albums don't know much about them..... To me one of my favorite songs are Echoes and Fearless with the chants at the end of the Liverpool supporters!!! cheers and take care
Hey there Cristian! Thanks for tuning in. The wall can be overhyped but it is so grand and glorious at the same time. Meddle, which features Echoes and Fearless, is the quintessential early Floyd album if you can dig on things like Dark Side. Take care my friend!
I think The endless river is the less interesting album of PF...and, yes, The final cut is more an album by Waters, like A momentary lapse... is an David Gilmour album... Wot´s uh the deal, beatiful song!
15) Ummagumma 14) The Final Cut 13) The Endless River 12) A Momentary Lapse Of Reason 11) More 10) A Saurceful Of Secrets 9) Atom Heart mother 8) Piper At The Gates Of Dawn 7) Obscured By Clouds 6) Meddle 5) The Wall 4) Animals 3) The Division Bell 2) Wish You Were Here 1) Dark Side Of The Moon
@@aidenswords5809 well, i do personally think it is a really underated album, but my pink floyd album ranking does change quite a bit from time to time, so i'de probably rank it number 4 or 5, if i'de rank it nowadays :)
@@ewanellis2176 each to his own but i think that album is poor, but as people tend to rank it quite high i will need to listen to it again, maybe it grows on you
I would rate pink Floyd albums without the input of waters as the weakest,though I have warmed to the division bell and momentry lapse of reason over the years
Yeah I used to really dislike "More" but now a days I enjoy it! Yeah..."Ummagumma" is definitely one of the worst...at least the studio stuff. Yeah...I wouldn't put "Final Cut" that low but I understand you not liking it! It is kinda a Waters album but you know. You already know my thoughts with "Momentary Lapse of Reason" lol! That even more so a Gilmour solo compared to "Final Cut" being Waters. "Momentary Lapse" definitely screams 80s. Lol! "The Endless River" is practically flawless! I love "Atom Heart Mother" too! It is so unique! I agree..."Obscured By Clouds" is one of the most underrated Floyd albums! "Sourcerful" is definitely an early turning point for Floyd! Like "The Endless River" and "Division Bell" are both just so ambient which I love! The beginning few tracks of "The Division Bell" were the last songs my grandfather and I would end up listening to together just me and him! Syd was indeed a genius...sad how he went down. "Meddle" is flawless too! I need to listen to "Animals" more...I always hear great things about it but never really did a whole lot for me...even though I do, in fact, enjoy it. "Wish You Were Here" is one of my top albums of Floyd! "The Wall" can't go wrong...you already know how much I love that one. Plus...concept album! And of course we end with the classic "Dark Side!" Lots of greats man...but did Floyd really put out a bad album...no matter how much I'll sh*t on "Momentary Lapse?" All the best man!
More is very much an enjoyable record for me. I take it in for what it is worth and the songs and bits are very good. TDB and TER go perfectly hand in hand with each other, not because of the association with the sessions but it just flows so well together, like a complementary piece. Wow, I can see how that album holds a special place in your heart. Animals is a great record, and in some cases, relatable in todays situation. And yes they did, THE FINAL CUT!! LOL jk with you! Thanks for tuning in as always buddy!
CfNot gonna watch but I'll bet The Final Cut is last or near the bottom. It's better than any 80s, any Barrett and it's not a Waters Solo LP it's Pink Floyd, it says on the cover. This LP is a masterpiece and needs to be acknowledged. So if it's near the bottom, your wrong.
Meh, pretty cliche list. No hot takes. Real heads know MEDDLE is the absolute best. I don't consider PIPER a Proper Pink Floyd album so much a Syd Barrett joint. Never cared for The Wall, despite it;s cultural significance. MORE and Obscured by Coulds don't get enough love and both those albums are better then the wall.
Well if you didn’t notice he wasn’t doing his favorites in order he was doing what is in his option the objective order of worst to best so yea, it’s probably gonna be cliche. He even said that animals is his second favorite but he placed it at 4
I once heard a wise man say, "Dark Side of the Moon is the greatest album of all time but its not the greatest album by Pink Floyd"
Thanks for saying that PINK FLOYD's obscured by clouds is soooo underrated.it is underrated.what a gem of an album.
Wow you make me feel old I've been listening to floyd since the wall came out saw the movie in the theater and then saw waters and Clapton doing all floyd music amazing show in 1984

Agree...a masterpiece.
Everyone’s opinion of favorite Pink Floyd albums is different.
Personally, I’m not a big fan of Roger Water. That’s just me
I’d rather listen to David Gilmour and Richard Wright solo albums.
I’ve been collecting Pink Floyd albums since 1971 when I was in junior high school
My first Pink Floyd album I bought was Atom Heart Mother and I bought every one since then as they were released, except The Final Cut, which I have never bought on vinyl, cassette, or CD. And yet it’s my little sister’s favorite Floyd album.

Roger surely had a mark on the band but once it started to reflect his own views (especially politics), then it just turned into a bit of a different animal. Decent ranking!
You fully geeked out. LOVE IT. Animals and piper are it.
Hell yeah they are guru! You know what’s up!
Great list man, always love seeing people’s opinions on the Floyd albums. From worst to best for me:
Final Cut
Endless River
Momentary Lapse of Reason
More
Ummagumma
The Wall (Just never got into the whole rock opera thing but I do recognize its greatness and influence. I think the music really suffers in place of the story. However, it does have some of Floyd’s best songs.)
Obscured by Clouds
Division Bell
A Saucerful of Secrets
Piper at the Gates of Dawn
Meddle (For me San Tropez and Seamus kind of knock this down, just think they’re redundant and pointless tbh the music is pretty underwhelming for Floyd)
Atom Heart Mother
Wish You Were Here
Dark Side of the Moon
Animals.
Honestly my top 3 are interchangeable. Some days Wish You Were Here is my fav because of how personal it is for the band and how dark it is. Other days it’s Dark Side for how original and unique it is. There’s really nothing that sounds like Dark Side. For me it’s one of those really special albums, Bitches Brew by Miles Davis is another. Currently it’s Animals because of how raw and heavy yet epic it is. I think the lyrics are pretty incredible and relevant even today and Gilmour’s guitar work is absolutely devastating. And I really dig the early Floyd, especially the live shows. I love the really edgy psychedelic jamming thing they had going on during that period. Really exploratory and creative imo love when Pink Floyd improvises.
Great video i love how you research the material & give solid reasons why you like or dislike something. As a musician I love the fact that like food music is very subjective. I mean if i listened to Rolling Stone magazine I wouldn't own 3/4 of the vinyl I own lol. My fave Animals....came out when punk was big in England. Love Meddle...Echoes such a great tune. The Wall Piper & Wish you were here... honestly tired of Dark Side...like I said subjective. Louder than Words See Emily Play... phenomenal. Great videos.

Decent ranking!
well done..good review
I find it interesting how people's taste and how they receive music is so unique.... Your number 12 A Momentary Lapse Of Reason.... I would rank number 2 on my list..... One of the greatest albums of all time in my opinion.. and my favorite Floyd album... My number 1 would have to be... The Division Bell. An absolute masterpiece to my ears....
To each their own! The Division Bell is an absolutely gem for sure.
I respect people's opinions...I just cant put an album without waters at number 1 not to mention the tracks...I love momentary lapse of reason...since you love division bell give me some of what you like about it so much so I can listen again...it just never connected and I felt like they were on their last legs.. I love this band and am hoping the division bell grows on me
Whoa what
@@michaelfrazia4569My apologie I somehow missed your comment and happen to return to this video a few years later.... likewise, I respect everyone's opinion of what they like and don't like as well. I can only say that to my ears and taste, The Division Bell is a masterpiece to me. Stand out examples though are Take It Back, Coming Back To Life, Poles Apart, Lost For Words , High Hopes, Marooned..
Marooned.. grab an ice tea or your favorite beverage. Layers back, close your eyes and for me... David Gilmore's guitar playing takes me away to a peaceful place on a deserted island where all life stress leaves me.
Coming Back To Life. The music build and and Gilmore's voice truly brings tears to my eyes in this track,it's so moving and heart felt.
High Hopes. From the sound of the bell, to the bee in the background to the lyrics and band. Powerful song that gives me goosebumps.
I could go on... But maybe for you, this album has grown on you, maybe not. Maybe another Floyd album moves you in the way this one does for me. If you happen to catch this reply... I'd welcome your follow up thoughts. Cheers.. .
Nice ranking and insight into the Pink Floyd discography, I’ve always enjoyed Pink Floyd but it was great to get some context on each album. My favorite is Obscured Clouds, which I agree is definitely underrated! Just came across your channel recently through watching the collab video you did with Mike! Awesome stuff so I subscribed!
Hey there! Thanks for tuning in and subbing! Gave you a sub as well and I’ll be digging into your stuff. Take care!
Hey Dylan. Wow, for a nearly 30 minute video, this thing flew by super fast. Very enjoyable and informative as always. I still have a long way to go in my Pink Floyd journey. Between our chats, the video with Mazzy, and now this one ... I feel like I've learned so much already. I cannot wait to delve deeper into their catalog. I'm more familiar with their 70s catalog over everything else. Out of what I have listened to already (and I have a bit to go), WYWH always comes out on top for me. Wonderful job.
Hey Emma! Haha glad that it didnt feel like a half hour! The Floyd discography venture is one that has many interesting turns, especially in the early years. The pre-Dark Side era is perhaps the most adventurous and the most varying in terms of material. Hope this ranking will serve you well! Thank you for tuning in!
Nice one Dylan...another great vid. Loved your session with Mazzy too. Cool that you love Kiss. I just recently found my Kiss cushion covers that I got in the 70s. My first ever album was Unmasked....played it to death. Take care mate 👍
Thank you Steve! Omg that is awesome! Id do anything to live as a kid during the KISSteria hype in the late 70s. Take care man and thanks for tuning in!
Gave this a thumbs up when you named Kiss as your favorite band with Pink Floyd as your second favorite!
Haha thank you! Two bands that dont fit on the same boat but both have their distinctive qualities that made me love them. Thank you for tuning in!
Piper at the gates of Dawn is the most magical total English album ever
Anamils is my favorite, I think it is great. I never liked the final cut I was disappointed when it come out, it was a let down for me. I was in jr high and wanted another album like the wall I guess. Great video man!!
Hey Rod! Animals is an absolutely killer album! Everyone in the comments digs it and its giving me ideas for a future video. Hey I wouldve felt the same way if I were you. Thank you so much for tuning in!

Great video! Even tho I would rank the records a bit different. I would have The Final Cut higher up in the list. And I think Animals is number 1 for me! Love that one. I would be really happy if you could rank Rush studio records as well! Would be fun to see!
A lot of people put Animals wayyyyy high on their lists and I totally understand. Its my 2nd favorite and it just has so much angst and aggression to it, its amazing. A Rush ranking is very well possible, kinda daunting but doable! Gonna start working up a list! Thanks so much for tuning in!
@@TheRecordSpinner 2nd favorite? Then why is it not 2nd place on the list? I thought this was ranking of your favorites from least to best? :S
Admittedly, I am not the biggest Pink Floyd fan, I only own a couple of their releases and those were handed down to me. I do however always enjoy somebodies take on a full discography. It gives you insight into a band that you might not of thought about.
That is very true John. Which albums do you have and what are your overall thoughts?
@@TheRecordSpinner I just have Dark Side and The Wall. They are good for a listen every once in a while, just not something I could listen too all the time. I guess they just don't effect me the same way they do other folks.
Obscured by clouds is fantastic., absolutely curtains is weird with chanting from the tribe that appeared in the film.

Great vid; I really enjoyed your ranking! I'm not a big Pink Floyd fan but I really like Wish You Were and Animals. Thanks for sharing and take care :-)
Thank you Miss LadySoul! You cant go wrong with those two albums. Sensational on all levels.
You said Piper at the gates of dawn was your favorite pf album, but ranked it at 6. And said Animals was your 2nd favorite album, but ranked it at 4. I'm confused... Usually a ranking is made from least favorite to favorite.
He had fear of the public opinion. For me Piper is the number 1
Very enjoyable video. You obviously have great love and knowledge of all their music. The list is pretty safe and uncontroversial but probably what many people would think. I only argue that you cant consider Ummagumma live album. That was what was released so you need to have that in mind when putting it in order. Great job. Ps. All the records look in mint condition. All new presses? PSS. I personally own 800ish pink floyd/solo lps and singles on vinyl.
Thank you Darren! And yes all of them are the recent reissues, which sound great and I did a whole video discussing them! Thanks for tuning in!
Enjoying your video, Spinner
Thank you Dave!
I think I'd rank it as:
1. The Wall (Epic and grand, with some hard rock and its just a great rock opera)
2. Animals (interchangeable with The Wall. The 3 main songs are well written and it its a fascinating and dark political album that applies just as much today as it did in 1977. Its kind of timeless)
3. Dark Side of the Moon (Great sounding and put together, with great tracks)
4. Wish You Were Here (Amazing synthwork)
5. A Saucerful of Secrets (Strong tracks, psychedelic and experimental)
6. Piper at the Gates of Dawn (I actually like this a bit more than Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band)
7. Meddle (Primarily thanks to Echoes. Although the A-side tracks are good)
8. Obscured by Clouds (Very underrated, and a fun little record)
9. Atom Heart Mother (The title track is great, and If is a great folky song, and Summer 68 is a banger. Fat Old Sun and Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast are okay)
10. The Division Bell (High Hopes is amazing)
11. More (Pretty good soundtrack with Nile Song being a banger. Its enjoyable to listen to, but isn't that memorable, but I do think that its slightly better than the other albums, even if most would rank them higher (except Ummagumma))
12. A Momentary Lapse of Reason (A good commercial rock record, but not very Pink Floyd like in quality. Sorrow is good though)
13. The Final Cut (too much Waters, although I like his style, this album doesn't really feel like Pink Floyd. However, props to it for being a pretty dark and emotional record)
14. Ummagumma (too weird for me. The live disc is great though, with the best versions of the songs it contained... Well, until Pompeii came along and eclipsed it)
I haven't listened to Endless River, but I'd probably rank it 14 or 15. Its just not my style from what I've read.
To elaborate on certain albums:
-Ummagumma has some merit in experimentation, as although it isn't very great to sit through, it is interesting technically and maybe sonically. I just wish that more was put into it, and that the experimentation went beyond simple noise making. To me, its not experimental enough that it becomes truly avant-garde and fascinating, but its too experimental to be enjoyable like their sophomore album A Saucerful of Secrets. I think the title track of A Saucerful of Secrets is what Ummagumma should've been like. Its cacophonous at times, yes, but it serves a purpose (representing a battle) and apart from that its great. I do find the Small Furry Animals song to be interesting because its done without instruments, and relies only on vocal effects and tape effects, which is cool I guess.
-Atom Heart Mother has some great hornwork and psychedelic parts. The two slide solos in Milk Breasty, and Remergence are some of Gilmour's best guitar solos in a studio album. (Pink Floyd) They're very nice sounding and are what I can only describe as very 60's sounding. If is a great folk song, and Summer 68 has some nice hornwork and is a great pop song. It actually sounds a bit like The Turtles at times. (with the post-chorus thing where Wright scats) Fat Old Sun is decent, and Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast is kinda stupid if I'm honest. I do wish they used more horns and other brass instruments, because a psychedelic jazz fusion record would be great.
-A Saucerful of Secrets is a slight improvement on their debut (not to say it was bad, because they debuted with a fantastic album) and while most rank this below their debut, I rank it just above. The opening track is great, with the chorus/refrain being great and stuff. Remember a Day is also very nice, and Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun is a mystical sounding song, and I like it. Corporal Clegg is great, and its just so funny. The kazoo solos are just s c r u m p t i o u s. The title track is great too, as is See-Saw which highlights how beautiful Wright's voice is. Jugband Blues is chilling and actually kind of sad, especially with the last verse. It also seems the most diverse in musical contribution from the band. All 5 members sing in it, with Corporal Clegg featuring vocals from the main 4. (Waters, Gilmour, Mason and Wright) It just to me feels the most like a group contribution, with other albums feeling like its just a bunch of songs mostly from a single member.
seems legit
I'd've dropped The (oh so) Endless River and The Derivative Bell down the ranking myself ;-) I got into Floyd when Animals was released, and had bought all the LPs by the time Momentary Lapse was released. My musical tastes moved on (but still held those earlier albums dear to my heart) so I guess that's why I didn't get what followed.
I'm a psych guy through and through at the moment ( I ignored the early Floyd albums till last year) so overall my favorites are Piper, saucer, more.
The later years stuff became a bit bland for me after hearing it so much but I do admire and enjoy it. It simply takes a bit more attention to detail to notice something I didn't notice before.
Nice! Yeah the later stuff, while it is strong, to some it’s a bit of an acquired taste.
Hello Dylan ! Apart from a couple of small differences of opinion , lower down the list , we are pretty much in agreement the whole way. What are your future plans for listing other artists catalogues ? Alice Cooper ? Led Zeppelin ? Looking forward to them. Have a great weekend and stay safe. Cheers!!
Hey there Roger! What is your ranking? So I can say that one of the artists you mentioned is actually already done and in the can. A lot of people in the comments asked for a Rush ranking so that is something I am working up. Basically any catalogs that I have all of their works of on vinyl are contenders and there are still plenty of options. We shall see what the future holds. Thank you for tuning in as always!
The Record Spinner : Well , the small changes I would apply according to my personal preferences is : I would put The final cut at the bottom , Endless river a couple of steps higher up , Piper at 2nd and The Wall at 3rd. That’s the minor changes. I’m really looking forward to your forthcoming catalogue rankings. Stay safe.
I love the final cut although yes it is really a Roger waters album.
Really like your ranking Animals is my favorite, and also have you checked the album I recommend you last week
Thank you Owen! And I did! The 45 rpm versions sounds killer but omg, when it got to the 33 rpm version it sounded like a real trip! I need to check out more stuff in that vein, it makes for good background music indeed.
I think it worked out 3 pinks sid Roger then Dave they all are great in my opinion
I love cows, and I got atom heart mother because of the cows on the sleeve 🤣But the atom heart mother suite is hilarious as is Alan's psychedelic breakfast
Excellent ranking video, although quite different from my own ranking.
But one thing makes no sense to me: you rank The Wall at #2 but The Final Cut at #13. I'd understand ranking one a few places below the other, but you're essentially saying one's almost the best Floyd album and the other almost the worst...is it just the absence of Richard Wright and Waters' domination that made you put TFC so low?
I feel TFC features some of Gilmour's finest solos, incredibly powerful, heartfelt and emotional lyrics, wonderful production (including masterful background sounds/effects) and beautifully subtle musical arrangements. Waters at his peak. It's top 3 for me.

Very good love to know your opinion on Floyd Members solo albums
Its a possibility! I need to dig deeper into Waters' and Wright's albums.
@@TheRecordSpinner I own the David Gilmour solo album from 1978 and is very good "There's No Way Out of Here" is my favorite song from it
Dude,wtf i love your yt avatar pic. Where is that from? Im obsessed
David and what's his name are dressed like the two Corey's in the picture on the inside of Momentary... I got that album around Xmas of 86 along with The Wall, Dark Side, Animals and Wish You Were Here on vinyl of course. That album was definitely an 80s production. 9 by PIL is another great example of that 80s sound
I cant unsee that now, thats hilarious! Wow, Christmas 86 mustve been an exceptional one for you. I remember I got the WYWH and Wall Immersion box sets for Christmas back in 2012, what a time!

Saucerful of secrets, brilliant album, Syd's swansong as part of pink Floyd.
My favourite with Ummagumma at number 2
Great review even if our opinions differ, but then it’s all about personal taste and there’s no right or wrong list. My top five are DSOTM, Meddle, Ummagumma, The Wall and Piper. WYWH disappointed me when it first came out, apart from Shine On, and still remains so. Animals is some way down my list.
Someone gets it! Very nice top five! Wow, you may be the one person who didn’t put animals high. It appears to be a favorite of everyone in the comment section! lol
Hi Dylan!! thanks for sharing your thought and ranking, in my opinion i think The Wall, it's a little bit overrated compared to Wish you were here, what a great piece of music and Dark side of the moon it's flawless. I stll need to check early floyd albums don't know much about them..... To me one of my favorite songs are Echoes and Fearless with the chants at the end of the Liverpool supporters!!! cheers and take care
Hey there Cristian! Thanks for tuning in. The wall can be overhyped but it is so grand and glorious at the same time. Meddle, which features Echoes and Fearless, is the quintessential early Floyd album if you can dig on things like Dark Side. Take care my friend!
I think The endless river is the less interesting album of PF...and, yes, The final cut is more an album by Waters, like A momentary lapse... is an David Gilmour album... Wot´s uh the deal, beatiful song!

@@aidenswords5809 well, i do personally think it is a really underated album, but my pink floyd album ranking does change quite a bit from time to time, so i'de probably rank it number 4 or 5, if i'de rank it nowadays :)
@@ewanellis2176 each to his own but i think that album is poor, but as people tend to rank it quite high i will need to listen to it again, maybe it grows on you
I find it funny because everyone hates Ummagumma except me lol I think its a great album
I would rate pink Floyd albums without the input of waters as the weakest,though I have warmed to the division bell and momentry lapse of reason over the years
next rank rush please
Its something that will definitely happen! The next ranking is already done and in the pipeline, another classic band lets just say!
Yeah I used to really dislike "More" but now a days I enjoy it! Yeah..."Ummagumma" is definitely one of the worst...at least the studio stuff. Yeah...I wouldn't put "Final Cut" that low but I understand you not liking it! It is kinda a Waters album but you know. You already know my thoughts with "Momentary Lapse of Reason" lol! That even more so a Gilmour solo compared to "Final Cut" being Waters. "Momentary Lapse" definitely screams 80s. Lol! "The Endless River" is practically flawless! I love "Atom Heart Mother" too! It is so unique! I agree..."Obscured By Clouds" is one of the most underrated Floyd albums! "Sourcerful" is definitely an early turning point for Floyd! Like "The Endless River" and "Division Bell" are both just so ambient which I love! The beginning few tracks of "The Division Bell" were the last songs my grandfather and I would end up listening to together just me and him! Syd was indeed a genius...sad how he went down. "Meddle" is flawless too! I need to listen to "Animals" more...I always hear great things about it but never really did a whole lot for me...even though I do, in fact, enjoy it. "Wish You Were Here" is one of my top albums of Floyd! "The Wall" can't go wrong...you already know how much I love that one. Plus...concept album! And of course we end with the classic "Dark Side!" Lots of greats man...but did Floyd really put out a bad album...no matter how much I'll sh*t on "Momentary Lapse?" All the best man!
More is very much an enjoyable record for me. I take it in for what it is worth and the songs and bits are very good. TDB and TER go perfectly hand in hand with each other, not because of the association with the sessions but it just flows so well together, like a complementary piece. Wow, I can see how that album holds a special place in your heart. Animals is a great record, and in some cases, relatable in todays situation. And yes they did, THE FINAL CUT!! LOL jk with you! Thanks for tuning in as always buddy!
"at number 4 is animals, this is my 2nd fav pink floyd album" hmmmm figure that one out ha.
CfNot gonna watch but I'll bet The Final Cut is last or near the bottom. It's better than any 80s, any Barrett and it's not a Waters Solo LP it's Pink Floyd, it says on the cover. This LP is a masterpiece and needs to be acknowledged. So if it's near the bottom, your wrong.
Nice floyd. Didnt know that stuff about the final cut album. Just subscribed. Check out my vinyl videos if you get a chance.
Gave you a sub and definitely will!
If you think that "The Final Cut" is their best album then I do not respect your opinions, on anything!
Meh, pretty cliche list. No hot takes. Real heads know MEDDLE is the absolute best. I don't consider PIPER a Proper Pink Floyd album so much a Syd Barrett joint. Never cared for The Wall, despite it;s cultural significance. MORE and Obscured by Coulds don't get enough love and both those albums are better then the wall.
Well if you didn’t notice he wasn’t doing his favorites in order he was doing what is in his option the objective order of worst to best so yea, it’s probably gonna be cliche. He even said that animals is his second favorite but he placed it at 4
I don't know if I should watch this this guy says a bubble gum pop rock group is better than Floyd
I'll take The Final Cut over the two crap shows that followed
Pink Floyd blows. Top 3 are elite, but truly one of the most mediocre rock discographies of all time.
Animals is the best
Everyone seems to be loving it in the comments!
