WARNING. There are a couple mistakes in this video (mistakes that I am quite embarrassed about). I mispronounce a couple words AND, most notably, I call one of Pink Floyd’s early band names “The Screaming ARABS,” when it is in fact called “The Screaming ABDABS.”
Good video! I'm 45 and it's so interesting how priorities on all PF albums change with years. They shuffle, go back and forth :D... I did not consider to be The Wall really great (although knew it by heart) up until the mid 30s. My perception of life changed along with the album. Don't agree with "More" - wonderful, mysterious, otherworldly, no indication of commercialism (as I feel one in the Dark Side of the Moon). Agree with Animals - it took me some time to feel it as well. Anyways, nice work!
"See-miss" was the only one I noticed. Seamus - that's the dog - is pronounced Shay-mus. Great video though, and other than some minor quibbles with comments on the Gilmour era (I mostly agree, but I think the Division Bell is a great album, just not a great Floyd album, and I enjoy listening to it regularly) I think you nailed it. Especially with the love for Meddle and Animals. This is turning into a classic youtube "I agree with you, so you are right" comment! ;) Anyway, loved your work here.
I would argue that the most glaring error is calling Saucerful Of Secrets an album led by Syd Barrett, when he only wrote one of the songs and doesn't play on most of the album.....but I didn't get any farther into the video than that, so maybe there are more glaring errors ahead?
How dare you not put my albums first lol. Everyone knows master of puppets is the best Pink Floyd album and you didn’t even talk about the best song in it, wonderwall
"You never want to over listen to a Pink Floyd album." Meanwhile, I listen to The Wall daily and I still find the album enjoyable. It has been months of this Edit: It's been over a year of this
Animals is my favorite Pink Floyd album but you explained why Dark Side was number 1 so well. Everyone expects your favorite album to be something obscure or not as well known if you’re a “true fan” but Dark Side is so famous and praised for a reason and it is the best Pink Floyd album.
I personally feel dark side of the moon and animals are both my favourites certainly their most consistent musically, Dark side of the moon I feel like I’m just gliding right through but not in a boring way and Animals is bad ass and melancholic as fuck🔥🤘
Yeah but I'd rather listen to Animals like you, I assume. I love Floyd so much that I needed a Floyd tattoo and the only thing I can think of was the Dark Side prism.
Really glad to see Meddle getting the appreciation it deserves. Echoes has got to be the greatest creation a sentient being has ever realized in all of space and time from nothingness to eternity.
@Thomas Thornton I liked the 'other' song better: *"One of these days I'm going to c..t you into little pieces!"* THAT was the true intro for what was to come. (DSOTM) - Dave B.
I think it’s unfortunate that Dark Side gets ragged on for being “the popular one”, but I mean there’s good reason why. The Wall, Wish You Were Here, Animals, they’ve all done great stuff and had something powerful to walk away with. But Dark Side is just so haunting, an absolute masterclass of how to do a concept album.
Dark Side shouldn't get ragged on. It is literally the first exposure for most people....and if they like it...they will start digging...and find a catalog of music that will blow their minds. Animals is by far the best concise album in my useless opinion...who cares? Pink Floyd kicks ass.
Yep. It was also the apex of Progressive Rock, the ultimate studio album and a regular sound system tester, at the time when they were private PA beasts. Alan Parsons made a musical career of some sort out of engineering this particular album.
The Ummagumma "Careful With That Axe Eugene" made me a hit in my art class, back in 85'. We had this assignment to do a picture of a song choice, that would be played over a display of our art work. I went with "Eugene" and made this tripped out depiction of an acid head's nightmare, with a guy who looked like a worm, screaming, with bleached white hair. I tried to do it like a Peter Max thing over a shocking pink background, I told my teacher, to time it a bit before the scream. After many of the pics were displayed, the class was getting pretty much bored, until mine came up, the eerie music and sounds lulling the people into uncertainty, I could hear whispers from people wondering what's was going to happen, heh, and then that SCREAM! Floyd and me were a hit!
Ummagumma is the favorite album of the "I am a deep Pink Floyd Head" Its a master piece to be sure. As will everything they put out aside from Division Bell. Animals is my all time fav...followed by Atom Heart Mother, Saucer Full of Secrets, and of course...Live at Pompeii.
DSOTM has always been one of those "perfect albums" to me. Each song is an expertly crafted experience that all stand strong on their own, but when placed together they go completely over the top. It has the deeply intricate music theory and production to make music nerds go wild while having a mild pop edge that makes it super accessible to general audiences. It truly is one of the greatest albums of all time
For me Pink Floyd is one of the few bands that have 2 perfect albums. Wish You Were Here and Dark Side Of The Moon. I personally prefer Wish You Were Here,cause it means more to me on a personal level and has a more intimate feeling,but Dark Side is equally a masterpiece
@@xsm5525 I'm sorry, but when you get platinum sales 14 times over, it's not really a choice as to whether the album is a masterpiece or not. It's like arguing David isn't Michaelangelo's masterpiece
That review of the Division Bell was borderline criminal. So many legendary songs in it. If you don't feel emotion when listening to High Hopes, you are as good as dead.
There's several brilliant songs on it, and there's some very un Floyd like rubbish on it to me When it's good its very good , and when it's not..... That's what I reckon.
Division bell is my personal best. I like the sensitive, human and feminin twist we don't find in the golden age albums. As you mention, pinkfloyd usually as ''the society is bad+solos'' strucutre, while the messages of this albums cover a wider set of human experiences from wander to anger to sadness and to hope. I like the slide guitar solos of High hopes, the distorted voices in keep talking , solo-long marooned, female back vocals, the slow start Dreamy Cluster One. In all sincerity, I can't understand how you would think this is a pale copy of older pink floyd. Of course, you won't find the ''waters'' pink floyd in it, but the rest of the band is still there!
I love this album, still I like The Dark Side and Wish You Were Here more but it's definitely in my top 3. Better album created only by David than mostly by Roger for me.
The Division Bell is my personal favourite Pink Floyd album. ‘Poles Apart’ is one of my absolute favourite songs and there are some other great songs such as ‘Coming Back To Life’ and ‘High Hopes’. I also really like the A Momentary Lapse Of Reason album.
I agree! I got into Pink Floyd later in life around my 30’s. I’m 52 now and I have every Pink Floyd album, but gravitate back to Momentary and Division bell. On the turning away, and Sorrow are absolutely classics that I can listen to over and over and not get bored….. When I tell people those are my two favorite albums & Songs I get told I’m not a real Floyd fan or must hate Roger Waters! It’s all subjective, and there is no wrong answer. We like what we like!
Poles Apart is my favorite song on the album too. Surprisingly, most people don't seem to mention it. I'm not the biggest fan of a Momentary Lapse of Reason but I would maybe put the Division Bell as their # 5 best album. I think it is really good.
@Kitty _gurl And beside that it is fucking incredible musically. I still do ambient guitars loops with the pocking and solo of lost for words after all these years. And high hopes is still my fav song of all time, especially pulse. I still get shivers down my spine with the final vocoder sound at keep talking (after the drum ends the wah ish sound).
@@paarthibannadimuthu2666 I like it for the opposite reason, I think it would have made a really spooky midieval folk song. But the lyrics are pretty good here too.
Holy crap this video is very straight to the point and has a lot of context, the visuals are amazing this was very well edited and the script is gold. Most videos like this are kind of critical and not no where near as creative. Criminally Underrated Channel!
Lol @ "San Tro-pess & See-muss" dawg, have you heard these songs? Also, I don't know who's duty it'll be, but a video solely on the Atom Heart Mother title track must be made. THAT is my personal PF masterpiece. The partnership w/ Ron Geesin is the finest in art rock history. Each section brings its own flavor and it's incredibly immersive. The choral and brass work is so inventive and it also contains my favorite DG guitar moment of that era.
Obscured by Clouds is probably my favorite Pink Floyd album. So many great songs on it. Certainly sound like it was written around the time of Dark Side of the Moon.
I liked it far more than Division bell, it was quite original. And apart from two tracks it was horribly depressing, just like Rogers would have liked it. Between the angst of Radio KAOS and MLOR, Pink Floyd was a far better soundtrack to the eighties than most of hte crappy pop pap.
My list 1. Piper at the gates of dawn( the holy grail of psychedelia) 2. Dark side of the moon 3. Meddle 4. Saucerful of secrets 5. Atom heart mother 6.Animals 7.the wall 8. Wish you were here 9.A momentary lapse of reason 10.Division bell 11.Ummagumma 12. Obscured by clouds 13. More 14. Final cut 15. Endless river
I always find it amusing that they kicked out syd for going crazy but that roger went pretty crazy himself (in a different sense) causing way more damage than syd ever did.
Uh, you call making money for them 'damage'? Roger was certainly performing and writing. Whatever crazy Roger did got them some of the best songs of the century. And then he left, you don't get better than that, they played his songs and made more money, while he collects more royalties but certainly never got any commercial success. Although I personally like Radio KAOS and Amused to Death more than several Pink Floyd albums.
This is such a great video! I love the animations, but the best part is how succinct you are. You fit so much info in an 18 minute video without it ever rambling, it's awesome! Also, big props for choosing Dark Side as your #1 album. I know a lot of the Pink Floyd fandom tends to treat Dark Side as babies-first-Floyd, but that's only because the album is so good they themselves listened to it 2x more than any reasonable person should. And they only listened to it that much because the album is great. Dark Side is popular for a reason, and I feel like more people should acknowledge it. That being said, my personal #1 has to be Piper at the Gates of Dawn. I love the golden period albums, particularly the first 3, but they're so influential that I've ended up finding other, similar albums that just slightly meet my tastes better. Meanwhile, I've still yet to find another album that sounds like Piper, nevermind one as good as it is front-to-back. Piper is just fun! What other album has a 10 minute space rock epic, a surf rock jam about a cat named Lucifer, and dramatic finale about a kid's fancy bike and his pet mouse Gerald. Piper is diverse, but every song feels caught between the childlike whimsy of the lyrics and creeping menace of instrumental. It's just such a good album to me.
My little brother and I love your TH-cam channel especially your Beatles content! I feel like you are one of the most underrated TH-camrs and deserve more subs. Anyway if possible, Id like to see a video of The Beatles solo albums from worst to best. Thanks
People can try and say Dark Side isn't their greatest album, and I may actually like Animals and Wish You Were Here better sometimes, but even the Billboard charts couldn't deny its greatness...it was on the Top 200 Albums chart for 736 consecutive weeks, a record which I'm pretty sure will never be broken.
@@BLACKMETAL9224 I kind of think it is. Just go look at all the 'number ones' and usually there is good marketing behind them. There are TONS of people who will say their favourite album is Dark Side, but of Pink Floyd fans almost ANY album will be listed as a best, usually NOT Dark Side, as this commenter says. And McDonalds is an anomaly in the restaurant business. They just also happen to sell shitty food. So its not the fact of 'quality' that makes number one, usually its not. "Cats" has run longer and made more money and has been seen by more people than Les Miz, but you'd be hard pressed to find people to argue that it is qualitatively 'better'. Thats hard enough to do with a commercial, artistic endevour. Is Banksy 'better art' because he gets more press and more people know his work? Justin Biebers new album will likely outsell Dark Side, does that make it 'better'? I'd argue not.
I tell people Dark Side is the greatest album of all time, and at the same time also not my favorite of theirs. If they're a Pink Floyd fan, they usually get what I mean, and if not they tend to have a puzzle look
The Wall is my personal favorite album from the band. Because it's just a masterpiece to me. The songs are an absolute treasure to me. Another Brick In The Wall part 2 was my first introduction to the band. I love the songs. I love and I mean LOVE the 1982 movie. I love how Alan Parker did this extremely weird and gorgeous movie. Bob Geldof was perfect for the role. The 1980/81 shows are cool. And it's just a great album. And yeah it sucks to know what happened behind the scenes during the recording sessions. But I love The Wall. And A Saucerful Of Secrets Jugband Blues, God that's a great song
me too,my favorite album along with dark side.....and my absolute favorite song of PF is SHEEP.......The album "wish you were here"which is so often listed first never caught me....l don't know why,but l don't like it
Shine on you crazy diamond is the best Pink Floyd song Sincerely, this is difficult to affirm not hearing the song, it’s so magic that you can’t remember all the emotion of it
This is one of the best ranking videos I've ever seen on TH-cam. Absolutely fantastic speaking. I will admit, The Division Bell spot/discussion did trigger me pretty badly. Lol I think TDB should at least be in the top 6
Actually, my personal favorite Pink Floyd song, has to be The Great Gig In The Sky. The song always gives me goosebumps, and also wants you to sing with the vocal even how bad your singing is.
hi! I just found your channel today and i watched the 70s david bowie video and this one, and i already love your channel! I like how you speak intelligently about albums and music but that you dont seem arrogant and act like you opinons are facts, you do the opposite, which i find refreshing :) i also love the visuals of your videos and find myself immersed in them. Anyway, i tend to gush when i like something, so sorry for all the words, but i do mean them :)
The Final Cut is extremely lacking in the bandship they used to have. It's literally just a Roger Waters solo project.I have not been more disappointed by a Pink Floyd album before lol.
For me: 5) The Wall 4) Meddle 3) Animals 2) Wish You Were Here 1) Dark Side of the Moon I agree with all you said except saying that “On The Run” is just okay. It’s an AMAZING seque track that is so unique in the use of the sequenced synth (Synthi VCS AKS and VCS3). The use of this synth and the folley effects provide an insane build and release of tension. YMMV
Coming back to this, ngl this is your best video imo. Best comedy, production, delivery and really entertaining explanations and opinions presented. This man does not miss 😤
Ummagumma was a weird concept. It was one live album and an album of solo EPs. Each band member went off on their own to write enough music for half of an album side. Other band members had little to no input on each other’s tracks. Richard gave us the Sisyphus suite. Roger penned Grantchester Meadows and Several Species, Dave gave us The Narrow Way, and Nick gave us The Grand Vizier’s Garden Party. Yeah. They were a LOT better together than separately at this point in their careers.
If you're talking about the albums themselves, nothing will beat the Wall. The concept and the execution of the Wall was so well-done. It really brought me to that sense of isolation that Pink had, and made me feel for the character, even though he was really fucked up. I love those little inklings of Roger's life that were sprinkled across the album. If you count the songs individually, they wouldn't really beat any of the songs on the other albums (Comfortably Numb, ABITW Pt. II, and a few others are some exceptions, however). But as an album itself, all of the songs work/cooperate together to make it a better album than all of the others. This is just my opinion, ofc.
Where as the other 70s albums will intersperse single listen songs, the wall is an hour and a half musical experience with songs that really shouldnt be listened to individually. If some of the songs on the wall were stand alone songs (EG: Vera, Goodbye Cruel World etc) id say they’re not that good, but listening to the full album gives context and reasons for those songs, as where the individual songs lack many dynamics, the album adds in those dynamics for it.
THE WALL has no bad song on it......Dark side is also perfect but l never liked MONEY on it......Also on all the other albums there are songs l really don't like.....but THE WALL is PERFECT .......and their most perfect song is SHEEP from animals.....the only track l really like on Animals
Great list watermelon here's mine: 15 More 14 Ummagumma 13 The Endless River 12 A Momentary Lapse Of Reason 11 The Final Cut 10 The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn 9 The Division Bell 8 Atom Heart Mother 7 The Dark Side Of The Moon 6 Meddle 5 The Wall 4 Wish You Were Here 3 A Saucerful Of Secrets 2 Obscured By Clouds 1 Animals
Obscured by clouds in second? lol that was recorded in 8 days for the film Lá Vallé, it has a good songs but is a weak album, to be honest I prefer the Music from the film More then OBC, but that´s your list and I respect that, it´s just strange.
Damn I'm glad I stumbled across your channel not only is your content great but your presentation is teaching a lot about how I could improve my own, keep up the great work dude!
The final cut is a concept album. I believe it is supposed to be taken as one entire song which would explain why all the songs sound similar. I hold this album in the top 3. The gunners dream is probably one of the most beautifully written songs I've ever heard.
I would also upgrade it from place 9, maybe even to top 3, although you can't make a top 3 with Pink Floyd, maybe a top 5. The Gunners Dream is one of my favourite songs.
His placing of the division bell is very wrong the division bell is the swan song Pink Floyd album and one of there best how dose he not have any emotion listening to high hopes.
dark side is undoubtedly the most iconic but tbh with you i could never make a video like this because the top 5 albums are constantly fighting for their order in my head to the point where which one is my favorite literally changes daily. it's a nice testament to how good all of them are.
Personally I feel that Hipsters going 'Oh no Dark Side is Overrated!!' has in turn caused albums like Wish you Were Here to actually become overrated.' Similar thing with Sergent Pepper's and Revolver.
@@iSkully99 rubber soul and meddle are my favourites from both bands, 2 albums don't recieve the plaudits of the albums that followed but are equally as good it's pretty apt to make that correlation.
1. Piper At The Gates Of Dawn 2. Wish You Were Here 3. The Wall 4. Dark Side Of The Moon 5. The Early Singles (non-album) 6. Obscured By Clouds 7. Animals 8. Meddle 9. Atom Heart Mother 10. Ummagumma (studio) 11. Saucerful Of Secrets 12. More 13. The Final Cut 14. Momentary Lapse Of Reason 15. The Division Bell 16. The Endless River I think The Early Singles may as well be counted as an album in its own right as it is about a full length album’s worth of songs, with all but one track never having been released on any album I believe, and has some really incredible stuff on it, mostly from their Syd and post-Syd psychedelic period.
@@arnuuma1802 and I salute you back! There was nothing quite like it before hand, and nothing quite like it afterwards. It stands alone, iconic, as a testament not just to the brilliant mind of an artist, but also to the power of imagination and its ability to knock down or transcend barriers such as music, or storytelling, or even art itself. And this album stands tall in this regard. A truly unique masterpiece which reminds us that all things are sublimated to the enormous power of fearless imagination.
I just subbed. The Division Bell will hit different to you when you are in your 40-50's . Songs like High Hopes are about looking back at your past and wishing you could have it back. It is a song about remembering. You are really to young for the entire Division Bell album.
Amazing video, disagreed on a couple of albums and agree on a lot. I really enjoyed this video, even though it almost hasn't pf music on it. Great job. And the opinion on Division Bell, pfff you read my mind!
@@TheWaterlooWatermelon I've been using YT since 2005 and almost never hit the like button or comment. But this was amazing. My first album is The Wall it is the most incredible multimedia piece of art of all history. I never get tired of it. And suffering severe depression makes this album hit harder. My wife told me once: "I'd like to make something for you so you won't feel like Pink anymore".
Dark side of the moon is about cosmic Grandeur. The great leap into the void. The hipsters can call it overrated all they want, it's a monumental piece of art.
My dad is a huge pink floyd fan and he got me into pink floyd a few weeks ago. I absolutely love Wish You Were Here and the Wall Meddle is also amazing, great list and video!
The Revision Hell ( sic ) is a disaster piece. Wake me up when it is over zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. PF should have called it quits after "the Final Cut". DG cannot write interesting concept albums that are good like " Amused to death".. The Endless River of shyte was so bad and boring it was not even useful for clearing people out of your house when the party has gone on too late and too long.The Wall was mainly RW on his own trip. "Animals" is probably the best PF record of all time.AMLOR was a total stinker.I like MORE.
I’m not going to try to argue that it’s Pink Floyd’s greatest album, but The Final Cut is one the most emotionally moving albums I’ve ever heard. Sure, it’s practically a Waters solo album but it’s achingly nostalgic, heartbreaking, and human. Also, The Fletcher Memorial Home has my favorite Gilmour solo.
Its kind of TOO raw on several tracks. The Wall pretty much summed up the personal alienation thing. When he sings "will you take the children away, and leave me alone" its kind of "didn't you already just say this? Where Roger really flew was once he got out of his own head and did social commentary with Radio KAOS and Amused to Death. Those are freaking unbelievable albums. Like Pink Floyd there is just nothing to compare them too.

This was musically a very interesting and enjoyable Video. Talking about Pink Floyd which is Probably my favourite Band and Hearing These fantastic mario soundtracks in the background Made me smile through the whole Video:)
My Top 5 Favorite Pink Floyd Albums. 5 - Ummagumma 4 - Atom Heart Mother 3 - Saucerful of Secrets 2 - Obscured by Clouds 1 - Piper at the Gates of Dawn Now I Love Dark Side, Animals, Meddle, Wish You Were Here, The Wall and More, but I Love the Early Psychedelic Stage of Floyd.
@@barrypeirson3710 Piper is better without Lsd, in my opinion, and for me is the best album. The rest of the list I disagree, and Saucerful is 5, 6 or 7 place for me.
I have to say in my personal opinion The Wall is Pink Floyd's magnum opus. Yes their other albums were great and I love then dearly but The Wall to me was their absolute best. Something about it being a deep descent into the abused mind of a Rockstar going into a never ending downward spiral of anger, loneliness and vulnerability hits me like no music has ever done to me before. I just relate to it more and see that the album had a philosophical meaning than just an album to get high too or something just made for experimenting with. Roger had a plan for the Wall and he knew exactly what he wanted it to be. The Final cut was a nice continuation of it that I also enjoy dearly.
My list: 1 - The Wall 1979 2 - Wish you were here 1975 3 - Atom Heart Mother 1970-72 4 - Medley 1971 5 - Animals 1977 6 - The Dark Side of the moon 1973 7 - Ummagumma 1969 8 - The Division Bell 1993 9 - Final Cut 1983 10 - A momentary lapse of reason 1987 11 - Saucerful of secrets 1968 12 - The pipers at the gate at down 1967 13 - Obscured by clouds 1972 14 - More 1968

More is so underrated. It's their third post-Barrett album and it may have lacked time & budget, but I still find it excellent. Loungie, sort of, It's way better than that other Barbet Schroeder soundtrack Obscured By Clouds, which didn't do it for me AT ALL. I threw it away (and bought the CD re-issue again, and am inclined to through that one out of the window too, lol) There are also the contributions to the Zabriskie Point score. Not an PF album, put it has a Careful With That Axe re-do, and a few other quite nice tracks on the side. The studio tracks on Umma Gumma were actually (at the time) phenomenal. Mostly- Waters' flurry birds is boring as hell, but Rick Wright did a great armageddonian organ piece, Gilmour brought in a beautifully recorded, very romantic song, and Mason's quite psychedelic drumnastics I can still listen too without falling asleep. It's the diversity on the studio half of this release that appeals to me, so yes, I play Waters' idiocy too... And there's of course not much wrong with the Live tracks. So many tears later I find the choral on the Atom Heart Mother album very emotional, it's ridiculous that the band expressed their "shame" over the album. It also featured a quite boring piece AGAIN - Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast - damn you, Waters! but Rick shined once more, in his fantastic song Summer of 68. It should have been a hit single!
Great explanation, that got me hyped for hearing more of their albums. My fave so far is Animals, so I look forward to hearing more EDIT: fastforward 3 months to now. I've heard each of the 15 albums at least five times now. Funnily, my POV has changed a lot. I kept coming back to this video and I found myself changing opinions on many of these. My fave album now? Atom Heart Mother
I think "The Final Cut" may be not the best as a whole BUT GOD DAMN it has God-tier songs... Every song with Gilmour's solo is imo beautiful and the title track in imo one of the VERY best PF's songs. Severly underrated
Had go scroll way too far to find Final Cut mentioned. I feel it's quite underrated. Some fantastic songs on it and love the mood of the album. Also, the transition from vocals to the saxophone in The Gunners Dream is absolutely brilliant
Good list as it had some surprises (always nice). I can appreciate the way you ranked them even if I have some different opinions. My ranking would be: 15: The Final Cut (it's everything I didn't like on the Wall album) 14: More (you nailed it...just doesn't sound enough like a Pink Floyd album) 13: Obscured by Clouds (See above) 12: Ummagumma (Just not a fan of the early Floyd but they still had some good songs) 11: The Piper at the Gates of Dawn (See above) 10: A Saucerful of Secrets (See about again) 09: A Momentary Lapse of Reason (Two good songs save this from your ranking) 08: The Endless River (Need more singing but still better than what you ranked it) 07: Atom Heart Mother (Some signs of the great Floyd to come) 06: The Division Bell (I like this more than most people) 05: The Wall (Suprise! Couple of the greatest songs but too many songs I just didn't care for...would have been ranked #4 if it was a single album) 04: Meddle (Almost at the best) 03: Animals (You nailed it) 02: Wish You Were Here (the top two match you the rest of the way for the same reasons) 01: Dark Side of the Moon (Might be the best album ever...at least top three)
Usually, I hate these lists since I love Pink Floyd, but I really like the way you broke them all down. The Final Cut is the only one that I would disagree strongly on. I would move that one below Momentary Lapse of Reason. Any other choices were pretty close to mine, and I really like that you hold Meddle in high regard. Cheers!
My ranking of Pink Floyd albums: 15. More 14. The Endless River 13. A Momentary Lapse Of Reason 12. Obscured By Clouds 11. Ummagumma 10. The Final Cut 9. A Sacerful of Secrets 8. Atom Heart Mother 7.

The Wall Love Pink Floyd my favourite band ever and the first 4 albums are part of my top 10 favourite albums of all The Wall is my favourite for a bit and then is Dark Side
Ummagumma is a masterpiece in my opinion, every member of the group has participated in the construction of a high-level product, albeit completely crazy, the weak part is perhaps that of Mason, but everything else is very evocative
@@curly_wyn It amuses me, in my opinion it is more a joke / experiment. But the other two pieces of waters are beautiful. However Pink floyd are extremely subjective, for me the final cut is unlistenable and the suite atom heart mother boring, not to mention More and Obscured by the clouds, horrible records

This man really ranked Daddy Ded 2 over The Division Bell Brave take, not one I can personally agree with, but I really gotta give you credit. The script and the editing in this video is pure gold.
WARNING. There are a couple mistakes in this video (mistakes that I am quite embarrassed about).
I mispronounce a couple words AND, most notably, I call one of Pink Floyd’s early band names “The Screaming ARABS,” when it is in fact called “The Screaming ABDABS.”

@@seaneisele3049 roger on the other hand...
Good video! I'm 45 and it's so interesting how priorities on all PF albums change with years. They shuffle, go back and forth :D... I did not consider to be The Wall really great (although knew it by heart) up until the mid 30s. My perception of life changed along with the album. Don't agree with "More" - wonderful, mysterious, otherworldly, no indication of commercialism (as I feel one in the Dark Side of the Moon). Agree with Animals - it took me some time to feel it as well. Anyways, nice work!
"See-miss" was the only one I noticed. Seamus - that's the dog - is pronounced Shay-mus. Great video though, and other than some minor quibbles with comments on the Gilmour era (I mostly agree, but I think the Division Bell is a great album, just not a great Floyd album, and I enjoy listening to it regularly) I think you nailed it. Especially with the love for Meddle and Animals. This is turning into a classic youtube "I agree with you, so you are right" comment! ;) Anyway, loved your work here.
I would argue that the most glaring error is calling Saucerful Of Secrets an album led by Syd Barrett, when he only wrote one of the songs and doesn't play on most of the album.....but I didn't get any farther into the video than that, so maybe there are more glaring errors ahead?
How dare you not put my albums first lol. Everyone knows master of puppets is the best Pink Floyd album and you didn’t even talk about the best song in it, wonderwall

Edit: It's been over a year of this
Same

Felt that for a lil bit lmao
Same lol. Favorite album of all time and one of the best ever made IMO.
I listen to Dark Side of The Moon and Wish You Were Here everyday
Animals is my favorite Pink Floyd album but you explained why Dark Side was number 1 so well. Everyone expects your favorite album to be something obscure or not as well known if you’re a “true fan” but Dark Side is so famous and praised for a reason and it is the best Pink Floyd album.
Haha, charade you are~
I personally feel dark side of the moon and animals are both my favourites certainly their most consistent musically, Dark side of the moon I feel like I’m just gliding right through but not in a boring way and Animals is bad ass and melancholic as fuck🔥🤘
Yeah but I'd rather listen to Animals like you, I assume. I love Floyd so much that I needed a Floyd tattoo and the only thing I can think of was the Dark Side prism.
@@xxcolinaterxx2867 darkside of the moon is highly overrated.
Dark side is my fourth favorite album.
Really glad to see Meddle getting the appreciation it deserves. Echoes has got to be the greatest creation a sentient being has ever realized in all of space and time from nothingness to eternity.

Echoes is probably the best piece of art I have ever listened to!
Best Floyd tune.
The guitar section about 1/3rd through the original Live in Pompeii recording is my all time favorite piece of Davey G ever.
Which one's Pink ?
Echoes of course...if you want to have a real trip just listen to this Master Piece.
The best of all.
That's kind of sad. You should try to experience some good art at some point.
@@ephraimsb2277 you damned heretic, Echoes is beyond the beyond
I think it’s unfortunate that Dark Side gets ragged on for being “the popular one”, but I mean there’s good reason why. The Wall, Wish You Were Here, Animals, they’ve all done great stuff and had something powerful to walk away with. But Dark Side is just so haunting, an absolute masterclass of how to do a concept album.
I very much appreciate this because one of the few people who pulled that out.
I argue that animals is just as haunting. Just in a less personal level and more on a societal level
Dark Side shouldn't get ragged on. It is literally the first exposure for most people....and if they like it...they will start digging...and find a catalog of music that will blow their minds. Animals is by far the best concise album in my useless opinion...who cares? Pink Floyd kicks ass.
Yep. It was also the apex of Progressive Rock, the ultimate studio album and a regular sound system tester, at the time when they were private PA beasts. Alan Parsons made a musical career of some sort out of engineering this particular album.
The Ummagumma "Careful With That Axe Eugene" made me a hit in my art class, back in 85'. We had this assignment to do a picture of a song choice, that would be played over a display of our art work. I went with "Eugene" and made this tripped out depiction of an acid head's nightmare, with a guy who looked like a worm, screaming, with bleached white hair. I tried to do it like a Peter Max thing over a shocking pink background, I told my teacher, to time it a bit before the scream. After many of the pics were displayed, the class was getting pretty much bored, until mine came up, the eerie music and sounds lulling the people into uncertainty, I could hear whispers from people wondering what's was going to happen, heh, and then that SCREAM! Floyd and me were a hit!
This is so cool!
I never knew those crazy sounds were screams until I saw Roger doing it on Live at Pompeii.
Ummagumma is the favorite album of the "I am a deep Pink Floyd Head" Its a master piece to be sure. As will everything they put out aside from Division Bell.
Animals is my all time fav...followed by Atom Heart Mother, Saucer Full of Secrets, and of course...Live at Pompeii.
DSOTM has always been one of those "perfect albums" to me. Each song is an expertly crafted experience that all stand strong on their own, but when placed together they go completely over the top. It has the deeply intricate music theory and production to make music nerds go wild while having a mild pop edge that makes it super accessible to general audiences. It truly is one of the greatest albums of all time
For me Pink Floyd is one of the few bands that have 2 perfect albums. Wish You Were Here and Dark Side Of The Moon. I personally prefer Wish You Were Here,cause it means more to me on a personal level and has a more intimate feeling,but Dark Side is equally a masterpiece
darkside's ok but it's overhyped. it's not really a masterpeice in my eyes, the real masterpeice is wish you were here and animals.
@@xsm5525 found the hipster
@@xsm5525 I'm sorry, but when you get platinum sales 14 times over, it's not really a choice as to whether the album is a masterpiece or not. It's like arguing David isn't Michaelangelo's masterpiece

Casual, underplayed little 'song', IMO. Very relaxing. The sounds of a well-earned week end morning.
I only disagree with the list because of The Division Bell. I love it!
Great video again, nice to have you back
That review of the Division Bell was borderline criminal. So many legendary songs in it. If you don't feel emotion when listening to High Hopes, you are as good as dead.
I know everyone always hates on it for no Rogers but I think it’s there best
There's several brilliant songs on it, and there's some very un Floyd like rubbish on it to me When it's good its very good , and when it's not..... That's what I reckon.
Yeah, wearing the inside out is 🔥
Not going to lie I don't like division bell, I feel waters kept the band less guitary.
Division bell is my personal best. I like the sensitive, human and feminin twist we don't find in the golden age albums. As you mention, pinkfloyd usually as ''the society is bad+solos'' strucutre, while the messages of this albums cover a wider set of human experiences from wander to anger to sadness and to hope. I like the slide guitar solos of High hopes, the distorted voices in keep talking , solo-long marooned, female back vocals, the slow start Dreamy Cluster One. In all sincerity, I can't understand how you would think this is a pale copy of older pink floyd. Of course, you won't find the ''waters'' pink floyd in it, but the rest of the band is still there!
Awful album. Dave G solo album at best. Only my opinion obviously.
Dude listen,I like Division Bell a lot.But when you compere with The Animals,Meddle,Wish You Were Here and others.
I love this album, still I like The Dark Side and Wish You Were Here more but it's definitely in my top 3. Better album created only by David than mostly by Roger for me.
I wouldn’t say division bell is there best, but it’s one I find myself revisiting very often. It’s just a nice album that I can absolutely chill to.
I totally agree with your ranks but personally division bells is in my top 5 otherwise spot on! Thank you for an awesome video
Look on TH-cam at BLACK METAL TEENS HEARING PINK FLOYD
The Division Bell is my personal favourite Pink Floyd album. ‘Poles Apart’ is one of my absolute favourite songs and there are some other great songs such as ‘Coming Back To Life’ and ‘High Hopes’. I also really like the A Momentary Lapse Of Reason album.
I agree! I got into Pink Floyd later in life around my 30’s. I’m 52 now and I have every Pink Floyd album, but gravitate back to Momentary and Division bell. On the turning away, and Sorrow are absolutely classics that I can listen to over and over and not get bored….. When I tell people those are my two favorite albums & Songs I get told I’m not a real Floyd fan or must hate Roger Waters! It’s all subjective, and there is no wrong answer. We like what we like!
high hopes is sooooo good.
Yep. my favourite album of all time of all bands. Even destroys guns n roses use ur illusion 2 for me
Poles Apart is my favorite song on the album too. Surprisingly, most people don't seem to mention it. I'm not the biggest fan of a Momentary Lapse of Reason but I would maybe put the Division Bell as their # 5 best album. I think it is really good.
@Kitty _gurl And beside that it is fucking incredible musically. I still do ambient guitars loops with the pocking and solo of lost for words after all these years. And high hopes is still my fav song of all time, especially pulse. I still get shivers down my spine with the final vocoder sound at keep talking (after the drum ends the wah ish sound).
A select few people will always like my videos before they come out. That's an awful lot of trust.
You get what you heckin deserve

Lol @ "San Tro-pess & See-muss" dawg, have you heard these songs?
Also, I don't know who's duty it'll be, but a video solely on the Atom Heart Mother title track must be made. THAT is my personal PF masterpiece. The partnership w/ Ron Geesin is the finest in art rock history. Each section brings its own flavor and it's incredibly immersive. The choral and brass work is so inventive and it also contains my favorite DG guitar moment of that era.
I will never understood why Rolling Stones gave AHM a 1/5 and why Pink Floyd hates atom heart mother suite
I 💯 agree AHM is the best Pink Floyd song. Period.
AHM is my personal favorite.
Obscured by Clouds is probably my favorite Pink Floyd album. So many great songs on it. Certainly sound like it was written around the time of Dark Side of the Moon.

I think a momentary lapse of reason is criminally underrated its not the most pink floyd album by a long shot but it has some really good songs on it.
I liked it far more than Division bell, it was quite original. And apart from two tracks it was horribly depressing, just like Rogers would have liked it. Between the angst of Radio KAOS and MLOR, Pink Floyd was a far better soundtrack to the eighties than most of hte crappy pop pap.

I always find it amusing that they kicked out syd for going crazy but that roger went pretty crazy himself (in a different sense) causing way more damage than syd ever did.
Well Roger went crazy in the way that helps you make good art a.k.a crazy with power.
Let's not start all this again..
kinda true
Syd literally couldn't play guitar...
Uh, you call making money for them 'damage'? Roger was certainly performing and writing. Whatever crazy Roger did got them some of the best songs of the century. And then he left, you don't get better than that, they played his songs and made more money, while he collects more royalties but certainly never got any commercial success. Although I personally like Radio KAOS and Amused to Death more than several Pink Floyd albums.
This is such a great video! I love the animations, but the best part is how succinct you are. You fit so much info in an 18 minute video without it ever rambling, it's awesome!
Also, big props for choosing Dark Side as your #1 album. I know a lot of the Pink Floyd fandom tends to treat Dark Side as babies-first-Floyd, but that's only because the album is so good they themselves listened to it 2x more than any reasonable person should. And they only listened to it that much because the album is great. Dark Side is popular for a reason, and I feel like more people should acknowledge it.
That being said, my personal #1 has to be Piper at the Gates of Dawn. I love the golden period albums, particularly the first 3, but they're so influential that I've ended up finding other, similar albums that just slightly meet my tastes better. Meanwhile, I've still yet to find another album that sounds like Piper, nevermind one as good as it is front-to-back. Piper is just fun! What other album has a 10 minute space rock epic, a surf rock jam about a cat named Lucifer, and dramatic finale about a kid's fancy bike and his pet mouse Gerald. Piper is diverse, but every song feels caught between the childlike whimsy of the lyrics and creeping menace of instrumental. It's just such a good album to me.
Good job with this video. As a Pink Floyd historian, you did a good job reciting the history of the band, and mentioning the important phases.
“People who have partaken in the forbidden fruit of pink floyd have been known to never return to other music” - facts
My little brother and I love your TH-cam channel especially your Beatles content! I feel like you are one of the most underrated TH-camrs and deserve more subs. Anyway if possible, Id like to see a video of The Beatles solo albums from worst to best. Thanks
People can try and say Dark Side isn't their greatest album, and I may actually like Animals and Wish You Were Here better sometimes, but even the Billboard charts couldn't deny its greatness...it was on the Top 200 Albums chart for 736 consecutive weeks, a record which I'm pretty sure will never be broken.
I'm not sure popularity means best, otherwise McDonalds makes the best food hands down.
@@mikearchibald744 but that's just not the same
@@BLACKMETAL9224 I kind of think it is. Just go look at all the 'number ones' and usually there is good marketing behind them. There are TONS of people who will say their favourite album is Dark Side, but of Pink Floyd fans almost ANY album will be listed as a best, usually NOT Dark Side, as this commenter says.
And McDonalds is an anomaly in the restaurant business. They just also happen to sell shitty food. So its not the fact of 'quality' that makes number one, usually its not. "Cats" has run longer and made more money and has been seen by more people than Les Miz, but you'd be hard pressed to find people to argue that it is qualitatively 'better'. Thats hard enough to do with a commercial, artistic endevour. Is Banksy 'better art' because he gets more press and more people know his work?
Justin Biebers new album will likely outsell Dark Side, does that make it 'better'? I'd argue not.
I tell people Dark Side is the greatest album of all time, and at the same time also not my favorite of theirs. If they're a Pink Floyd fan, they usually get what I mean, and if not they tend to have a puzzle look
The Wall is my personal favorite album from the band. Because it's just a masterpiece to me. The songs are an absolute treasure to me. Another Brick In The Wall part 2 was my first introduction to the band. I love the songs. I love and I mean LOVE the 1982 movie. I love how Alan Parker did this extremely weird and gorgeous movie. Bob Geldof was perfect for the role. The 1980/81 shows are cool. And it's just a great album. And yeah it sucks to know what happened behind the scenes during the recording sessions. But I love The Wall.
And A Saucerful Of Secrets Jugband Blues, God that's a great song
me too,my favorite album along with dark side.....and my absolute favorite song of PF is SHEEP.......The album "wish you were here"which is so often listed first never caught me....l don't know why,but l don't like it
Shine on you crazy diamond is the best Pink Floyd song
Sincerely, this is difficult to affirm not hearing the song, it’s so magic that you can’t remember all the emotion of it

I agree with all you said except saying that “On The Run” is just okay. It’s an AMAZING seque track that is so unique in the use of the sequenced synth (Synthi VCS AKS and VCS3). The use of this synth and the folley effects provide an insane build and release of tension. YMMV

Coming back to this, ngl this is your best video imo. Best comedy, production, delivery and really entertaining explanations and opinions presented. This man does not miss 😤
Extremely well done. I was planning to skip through but you pulled me in!
Ummagumma was a weird concept.
It was one live album and an album of solo EPs.
Each band member went off on their own to write enough music for half of an album side. Other band members had little to no input on each other’s tracks.
Richard gave us the Sisyphus suite. Roger penned Grantchester Meadows and Several Species, Dave gave us The Narrow Way, and Nick gave us The Grand Vizier’s Garden Party.
Yeah. They were a LOT better together than separately at this point in their careers.
If you're talking about the albums themselves, nothing will beat the Wall. The concept and the execution of the Wall was so well-done. It really brought me to that sense of isolation that Pink had, and made me feel for the character, even though he was really fucked up. I love those little inklings of Roger's life that were sprinkled across the album.
If you count the songs individually, they wouldn't really beat any of the songs on the other albums (Comfortably Numb, ABITW Pt. II, and a few others are some exceptions, however). But as an album itself, all of the songs work/cooperate together to make it a better album than all of the others. This is just my opinion, ofc.
I feel that way about the wall and the final cut.
Where as the other 70s albums will intersperse single listen songs, the wall is an hour and a half musical experience with songs that really shouldnt be listened to individually. If some of the songs on the wall were stand alone songs (EG: Vera, Goodbye Cruel World etc) id say they’re not that good, but listening to the full album gives context and reasons for those songs, as where the individual songs lack many dynamics, the album adds in those dynamics for it.
THE WALL has no bad song on it......Dark side is also perfect but l never liked MONEY on it......Also on all the other albums there are songs l really don't like.....but THE WALL is PERFECT .......and their most perfect song is SHEEP from animals.....the only track l really like on Animals

The final cut is a concept album. I believe it is supposed to be taken as one entire song which would explain why all the songs sound similar. I hold this album in the top 3. The gunners dream is probably one of the most beautifully written songs I've ever heard.

The Gunners Dream is so insanely beautiful

I think The Early Singles may as well be counted as an album in its own right as it is about a full length album’s worth of songs, with all but one track never having been released on any album I believe, and has some really incredible stuff on it, mostly from their Syd and post-Syd psychedelic period.
Yes! First person I’ve ever encountered that shares my opinion on the absolute best Pink Floyd album! I salute you
@@arnuuma1802 and I salute you back! There was nothing quite like it before hand, and nothing quite like it afterwards. It stands alone, iconic, as a testament not just to the brilliant mind of an artist, but also to the power of imagination and its ability to knock down or transcend barriers such as music, or storytelling, or even art itself. And this album stands tall in this regard. A truly unique masterpiece which reminds us that all things are sublimated to the enormous power of fearless imagination.
If The Final Cut isn't at first place, I'll start a riot
🥲
actually is AMLOR
My best album and best song. Its really an ode to his dad who died in a war and he never met him.
I just subbed. The Division Bell will hit different to you when you are in your 40-50's . Songs like High Hopes are about looking back at your past and wishing you could have it back. It is a song about remembering. You are really to young for the entire Division Bell album.
i'm not used to this level of zoomer-woosh being used to talk about boomer music.
i approve of it wholeheartedly.
Amazing video, disagreed on a couple of albums and agree on a lot. I really enjoyed this video, even though it almost hasn't pf music on it. Great job. And the opinion on Division Bell, pfff you read my mind!
I’m surprised, man. Most people who dislike this video is because they think I put Division Bell too low. I’m really glad you enjoyed it though. :)
@@TheWaterlooWatermelon I've been using YT since 2005 and almost never hit the like button or comment. But this was amazing. My first album is The Wall it is the most incredible multimedia piece of art of all history. I never get tired of it. And suffering severe depression makes this album hit harder.
My wife told me once: "I'd like to make something for you so you won't feel like Pink anymore".
I love your channel because I don't know anyone else who likes all the same bands as me. You have a great taste in music.
Kirby listening on TH-cam at BLACK METAL TEENS HEARING PINK FLOYD
Dark side of the moon is about cosmic Grandeur. The great leap into the void. The hipsters can call it overrated all they want, it's a monumental piece of art.
You should do a Led Zeppelin or rolling stones ranking
King please look on TH-cam at BLACK METAL TEENS HEARING PINK FLOYD
My dad is a huge pink floyd fan and he got me into pink floyd a few weeks ago. I absolutely love Wish You Were Here and the Wall
Meddle is also amazing, great list and video!
The division bell is a masterpiece.
You and me are automatically friends now
ive been a fan of the division bell since 1994.
Absolutely. The best Floyd album imo!
One of my favorite albums.
The Revision Hell ( sic ) is a disaster piece. Wake me up when it is over zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. PF should have called it quits after "the Final Cut". DG cannot write interesting concept albums that are good like " Amused to death".. The Endless River of shyte was so bad and boring it was not even useful for clearing people out of your house when the party has gone on too late and too long.The Wall was mainly RW on his own trip. "Animals" is probably the best PF record of all time.AMLOR was a total stinker.I like MORE.
I’m not going to try to argue that it’s Pink Floyd’s greatest album, but The Final Cut is one the most emotionally moving albums I’ve ever heard. Sure, it’s practically a Waters solo album but it’s achingly nostalgic, heartbreaking, and human. Also, The Fletcher Memorial Home has my favorite Gilmour solo.
Its kind of TOO raw on several tracks. The Wall pretty much summed up the personal alienation thing. When he sings "will you take the children away, and leave me alone" its kind of "didn't you already just say this? Where Roger really flew was once he got out of his own head and did social commentary with Radio KAOS and Amused to Death. Those are freaking unbelievable albums. Like Pink Floyd there is just nothing to compare them too.
Nah
Yah

My Top 5 Favorite Pink Floyd Albums.
5 - Ummagumma
4 - Atom Heart Mother
3 - Saucerful of Secrets
2 - Obscured by Clouds
1 - Piper at the Gates of Dawn
Now I Love Dark Side, Animals, Meddle, Wish You Were Here, The Wall and More, but I Love the Early Psychedelic Stage of Floyd.
was not expecting ummagumma & asos
Controversial
Ummagumma gang gang
Someone likes LSD
This is the worst Pink Floyd list ever lol
Jk man.
@@barrypeirson3710 Piper is better without Lsd, in my opinion, and for me is the best album. The rest of the list I disagree, and Saucerful is 5, 6 or 7 place for me.
Great vid! I feel weird for thinking that Division Bell is like in my top 3 PF albums though with all the flack it gets haha.
Same! I don’t get all the hate
14:52 mine is dark side, wish you were here, and piper at the gates of dawn
I have to say in my personal opinion The Wall is Pink Floyd's magnum opus. Yes their other albums were great and I love then dearly but The Wall to me was their absolute best. Something about it being a deep descent into the abused mind of a Rockstar going into a never ending downward spiral of anger, loneliness and vulnerability hits me like no music has ever done to me before. I just relate to it more and see that the album had a philosophical meaning than just an album to get high too or something just made for experimenting with. Roger had a plan for the Wall and he knew exactly what he wanted it to be. The Final cut was a nice continuation of it that I also enjoy dearly.
The Wall is the best ROCK OPERA
My list:
1 - The Wall 1979
2 - Wish you were here 1975
3 - Atom Heart Mother 1970-72
4 - Medley 1971
5 - Animals 1977
6 - The Dark Side of the moon 1973
7 - Ummagumma 1969
8 - The Division Bell 1993
9 - Final Cut 1983
10 - A momentary lapse of reason 1987
11 - Saucerful of secrets 1968
12 - The pipers at the gate at down 1967
13 - Obscured by clouds 1972
14 - More 1968

More is so underrated. It's their third post-Barrett album and it may have lacked time & budget, but I still find it excellent. Loungie, sort of, It's way better than that other Barbet Schroeder soundtrack Obscured By Clouds, which didn't do it for me AT ALL. I threw it away (and bought the CD re-issue again, and am inclined to through that one out of the window too, lol)
There are also the contributions to the Zabriskie Point score. Not an PF album, put it has a Careful With That Axe re-do, and a few other quite nice tracks on the side.
The studio tracks on Umma Gumma were actually (at the time) phenomenal. Mostly- Waters' flurry birds is boring as hell, but Rick Wright did a great armageddonian organ piece, Gilmour brought in a beautifully recorded, very romantic song, and Mason's quite psychedelic drumnastics I can still listen too without falling asleep.
It's the diversity on the studio half of this release that appeals to me, so yes, I play Waters' idiocy too... And there's of course not much wrong with the Live tracks.
So many tears later I find the choral on the Atom Heart Mother album very emotional, it's ridiculous that the band expressed their "shame" over the album. It also featured a quite boring piece AGAIN - Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast - damn you, Waters! but Rick shined once more, in his fantastic song Summer of 68. It should have been a hit single!
Agreed . . . I listen to More regularly for its calming effect . . . . {-.-}
Great explanation, that got me hyped for hearing more of their albums. My fave so far is Animals, so I look forward to hearing more
EDIT: fastforward 3 months to now. I've heard each of the 15 albums at least five times now. Funnily, my POV has changed a lot. I kept coming back to this video and I found myself changing opinions on many of these. My fave album now? Atom Heart Mother
I think "The Final Cut" may be not the best as a whole BUT GOD DAMN it has God-tier songs... Every song with Gilmour's solo is imo beautiful and the title track in imo one of the VERY best PF's songs. Severly underrated
Had go scroll way too far to find Final Cut mentioned. I feel it's quite underrated. Some fantastic songs on it and love the mood of the album. Also, the transition from vocals to the saxophone in The Gunners Dream is absolutely brilliant
the final cut is my absolute fav. the full orchestra adds so much to the entire album. plus the sax solo in the gunners dream is literally godly
Good list as it had some surprises (always nice). I can appreciate the way you ranked them even if I have some different opinions. My ranking would be:
15: The Final Cut (it's everything I didn't like on the Wall album)
14: More (you nailed it...just doesn't sound enough like a Pink Floyd album)
13: Obscured by Clouds (See above)
12: Ummagumma (Just not a fan of the early Floyd but they still had some good songs)
11: The Piper at the Gates of Dawn (See above)
10: A Saucerful of Secrets (See about again)
09: A Momentary Lapse of Reason (Two good songs save this from your ranking)
08: The Endless River (Need more singing but still better than what you ranked it)
07: Atom Heart Mother (Some signs of the great Floyd to come)
06: The Division Bell (I like this more than most people)
05: The Wall (Suprise! Couple of the greatest songs but too many songs I just didn't care for...would have been ranked #4 if it was a single album)
04: Meddle (Almost at the best)
03: Animals (You nailed it)
02: Wish You Were Here (the top two match you the rest of the way for the same reasons)
01: Dark Side of the Moon (Might be the best album ever...at least top three)
Atom Heart Mother and Meddle are my two favorites. Pink Floyd is a sound that will always enthrall me!
Usually, I hate these lists since I love Pink Floyd, but I really like the way you broke them all down. The Final Cut is the only one that I would disagree strongly on. I would move that one below Momentary Lapse of Reason. Any other choices were pretty close to mine, and I really like that you hold Meddle in high regard. Cheers!
The Beatles and Pink Floyd are cool.

Love Pink Floyd my favourite band ever and the first 4 albums are part of my top 10 favourite albums of all The Wall is my favourite for a bit and then is Dark Side
Ummagumma is a masterpiece in my opinion, every member of the group has participated in the construction of a high-level product, albeit completely crazy, the weak part is perhaps that of Mason, but everything else is very evocative
Subjective, sure. But, personally I hated it. Words cannot describe how despicable and interminable Several Species of Small Furry-whatever is.
@@curly_wyn It amuses me, in my opinion it is more a joke / experiment. But the other two pieces of waters are beautiful. However Pink floyd are extremely subjective, for me the final cut is unlistenable and the suite atom heart mother boring, not to mention More and Obscured by the clouds, horrible records

Same
Thank god someone said it
This man really ranked Daddy Ded 2 over The Division Bell
Brave take, not one I can personally agree with, but I really gotta give you credit. The script and the editing in this video is pure gold.
The Division Bell is awesome 👏
I know it’s your opinion and all, but putting the final cut farther than division bell is outrageous
