You're retards for comparing Pink Floyd albums.

Well the only albums I have on hand is Meddle, Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall.
I fucking love all three albums, ever single song.
So my list would be
3.The Wall
2.Meddle
1.Dark Side of the Moon
Although its difficult the three because each one had a different member who did most of the work.
[QUOTE=AK'z;31917740]Panda, nobody has a retard taste.
I enjoy Momentary Lapse more than Obscured by Clouds.[/QUOTE]
Imo they're both pretty bland
[QUOTE=Puddlez;31931617]Imo they're both pretty bland[/QUOTE]
I wouldn't call them bland in the slightest
Obscured by Clouds is great, its got a really innocent and youthful feel to it that I don't think Pink Floyd ever captured again apart from on this record, it was essentially a throwaway record but you get to see a much more personal side to the band members out of it because its all written about their own lives at the time, stuff like a relationship with a groupie, relationship with family, how you feel being an adult and stuff. Really small stuff compared to other albums in terms of what the subjects deal with, but its no less great because of it.
I think people miss the appeal of Momentary Lapse and Obscured by Clouds a lot because they're so different and so much less ambitious than other Floyd records. They're just a bit of fun and I can listen to the songs on there over and over and they make me happy every time.
Also Stay is a really nice heartfelt song.
Well here's a nice viewpoint of Pink Floyd. What makes a great band is their ability to release one of the most acclaimed records of all time, yes, but to be able to do it twice? Pink Floyd take the cake. The brilliance of Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall is that they can be enjoyed by an 8 year old girl, but are still brilliant enough for music virtuosos to think about.
More importantly, people in this thread wouldn't prioritize them at the top of their list normally, but something to think about is that you only give other albums a higher cred because you overplayed The Wall and Dark Side in the first place to get in to the rest of the Pink Floyd albums. It's just like Master of Puppets. No ~true~ metallica fans think of Master as their best record because they all passed the phase. Same with DSOTM and The Wall. You listened to them over and over again and loved them until the point you got bored enough with it that you finally decided to give the others a chance and take a much higher interest in them.

Simply the best. Much more Floyd too. Wright really carried the sound.
Having a listen to Nick Mason's fictitious sports on youtube is a chore but. Its very interesting. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JADPCcpUbu0[/media]
I just got the idea. Here, in Яussia we have a glue called "Moment", when you smell it, it works like drug. Hallucinations, mind opens and closes, seconds are hours, hours are second. Now you know how to get "[b]moment[/b]ary lapse of reason". btw, just used it not to glue something, ya know.

That was lovely. Was that all you, Puddlez?

I disagree about putting them at the top. That may be true for DSOTM but The Wall simply never was as appealing as other albums.
Wall isn't what I think when it's the "Floyd" I want to hear. Not emotional enough.
Wall and Final Cut are really just Roger Waters. Even on the Gilmour tracks they still sound more Waters than anything. Probably because it was missing Richard's keyboards to a great extent.
The only one I can think of that sounds even remotely (very remotely) Floyd is Another Brick part 1 and maybe Goodbye Blue Sky, except for Comfortably Numb which is very Pink Floyd.

The point about Rick Wright is the one I always make. No Wright, no Floyd. And in The Final Cut where there's Kamen, even though he is just as great a musician and songwriter as Wright if not better, he's not a Pink Floyd Member. And the fact that each member contributed to the Pink Floyd sound equally is proven by their albums.
Everywhere from Piper through to Animals all had a fairly good contribution of each member. Animals while starting the whole Waters-led part, still had a good amount of work from the other three, something which The Wall lacked. The only real Floyd sounding tracks on it are the ones where the band members worked together, even then they were all too fallible simulations of the vintage Pink Floyd sound still somewhat present on Animals (without Rick anyways). All the songs that were written entirely by Waters with little to no contribution by anyone else don't sound like Pink Floyd at all. But again with the Kamen/Wright comparison, the quality of it is a completely different subject and out of the question when it comes to sounding like Pink Floyd. The Final Cut (an album I love) and Momentary Lapse (something a majority of you all enjoyed heavily) are the least Floyd albums (being 90% Waters and Gilmour respectively) but as I just mentioned are still great.
Hell, The Division Bell sounded more Floyd than The Wall. Not because it has Wright instead of Waters, not at all - it's because of the work produced together. Pick any two Floyd members, lets say Gilmour and Wright for examples sake. If they work on a song together, it'll sound 50x more Pink Floyd than a song written by one of those two even if the other performed parts of it. I hope you guys get what I mean.
No Barrett, no Floyd. Fuck you all.

Without barrett they would not be called Pink Floyd
apart from that you're pretty much entirely wrong
