Considering this guy keeps messing up the names of the songs and thinks that Richard Wright willfully left the band, I think it's safe to say he's not the most knowledgeable person about Pink Floyd.
Bring the boys back home is all the soldiers coming home and seeing all the kids running up to their fathers and Pink realizing that his father is not coming home.
What the f!!??. The Wall isn't a bunch of different unfocused themes! It's different stages of the character's life, different things in the character's life that piled up and explain and led to the breakdown. Different "bricks" in the wall!
Exactly. But those bricks are really bricks from Roger's life and mind, no matter how much he denies it. I'm just glad that his bricks are interesting to listen to. It could've been much worse if The Wall was simply about the bricks in someone's love life...
What so because an album dosnt have its best songs on the radio, it's a lesser album!? This guy is clearly gilmour bias and really under appreciates waters IMO
I'm glad you and I share a similar appreciation of "Obscured by Clouds". Being squashed between "Meddle" and "Dark Side" it's so overlooked but has a decent amount of quality.
Unpopular opinion, but More is easily one of my favorite albums, and I believe it just has to do with a subjective trippy experience I had while listening to it. Not sure if it's my absolute favorite, because I also love Obscured by Clouds, Animals, and DSOTM. Division Bell is also great. I think More deserves more love (no pun intended).
Agreed. I was sad to see him rank it last. It would have made my top 5, for the very reason he didn't like it: It merged old PF to new PF. Almost best of both worlds, IMHO.

I love the Final Cut, there is so much emotion on that album from Roger. the wall was ground breaking. Animals is a masterpiece, and Dark Side of The Moon is incredible, especially given when it was released. I can remember peeling away the cellophane of my vinyl in anticipation when it was released and being gob smacked at the end of the first hearing.
The Final Cut is not a bad album at all. It's an unhappy album, both given how it was created while the band was imploding, and in its subject matter, but there's not a bad track on it. The problem is that the theme of the album doesn't mean very much if the listener isn't closely familiar with British politics of the 80s, and specifically with Thatcher and the Falklands war. Artists can't help what inspires them, but I think it's a shame that it had to be that particular war that inspired Roger to write those songs, since it immediately dates the album and makes it an artifact of its time. The other Pink Floyd albums have much looser concepts, and are more timeless as a result. As soon as you write about a specific event, time or place, particularly something that happened fairly recently, you limit your vision. Dark Side or The Wall can mean any number of things to anyone who listens to them, but The Final Cut is only about that damn war.
I know Floyd fans who swear The Final Cut is an unrecognized gem in their catalogue. But tbh I could never understand the love. To me it's more like a Waters solo album. And if I want a good Waters solo album I have Radio KAOS.
I disagree completely about Ummagumma. When people ask me for my favorite PF album I always say Ummagumma, simply to start the discussion about this little misunderstood gem. Its not my favorite, but its probably top 5 or 6 and I think it is one of their best. Hear me out. Lets start with the live versions. You were quick to dismiss them, and I can see why HOWEVER there is 1 song there that was a single and the first LP it appeared on was Ummagumma. Talking of course about Careful with that Axe Eugene. I am aware how singles were treated at the time, but we know better. Careful with that axe Eugene was an Ummagumma track. That song is DECADES ahead of its time. It has what I can only describe as black metal vocals on it. Not only do they sound like black metal vocals, they serve the same purpose that is to convey a deeply emotional and cathartic feeling. Even if you disagree with me that those are black metal vocals, everyone can agree that they are extreme vocals. Now onto the studio album. It is not entertaining music, but we love progressive music we can agree that music need not be entertaining. On those grounds, Ummagumma can be considered an avant-garde album, especially with songs like Several furry (wont type the rest here xD). Outside of a few weird composers absolutely no one was doing music like that at the time. Surely that deserves some praise. And its not all avant-garde either, you do have cool progressive songs like The Narrow way 3. Overall I think Ummagumma is absolutely their most underrated album and for damn shame. Its a funky little experience, that was creative in many ways. I think you are spot on about Atom heart mother and Alans psychedelic breakfast. It is also one of PFs misunderstood albums and much of my defense for Ummagumma can be extended to it as well :P
Can we really talk seriously about the vocals for Careful With That Axe, Eugene? I mean, it's just two lines and the rest they repeat the title of the song. They don't even sing it. It's not a bad song, but it's more of an experiment than a song. Ummagumma is a requirement for Floyd fans, but it is still one of their weaker albums as far as popularity. I like experimentation, but when every song is an experiment it gets old.
It’s not one of their best obviously, it’s never been my least favorite, buts grown on me for sure and I like it way more than I used to. Hell id even say I enjoy it. Off the top of my head I’d put it above more and personally I’d put it over anything after the wall (maybe with the exception of MLoR) but in my humble opinion MORE is their worst, some ok tracks on it but to me it’s my least favorite. I listened to it a couple times fairly recently and it was fine but it doesn’t wow me and those last couple listens didn’t really boost it on my list like my last couple listens of ummagumma did.
I’ll get shit for this, but Piper At The Gates Of Dawn IMO is the best Floyd album of all time. I listen and respect to all the other albums (besides more ) but I mean the work done on this and the innovation /creation is surreal. I’m not dickriding Syd but his style of playing and creative lyrics are so ahead of its time
And Syd's choppy style of writing inspired lots of interesting bands in the post punk / new wave era. The later Pink Floyd inspired no-one. I do like Floyd from Meddle to Wish You Where Here, but they were a rock band. Syd's Floyd were unfathomable.
Maybe I didn't word it in the best way. What I mean is that Syd's work opened a door to a myriad of musical directions. I love Floyd's later stuff, but it is firmly rooted in "rock" which became stale during the 1970s.
sorry guys, i wanted to tell this uploader how dumb it is rate anything floyd either full floyd or waters/gilmore heavy or lite.......they are the guys who created magic and individually have both merits ............but sorry to be critical, but as ive said on other posts,,,,some took gilmore side after the split, some took waters side, but realise there are more of us who see floyd as parents and we dont dont take sides as we know both are fantastic in their own way and together they make magic from two genius minds together. i dont dislike ppl rating floyd, but to a real fan, its a pointless exercise.
I agree I am a More fan myself and the album is underrated and haa very special qualities... the spaced out blues jam I love and Spanisj piece etc and the Nile SONG is one of their best all out rockers.
I think their intention was to show there were no limits to where the band would go when it came to experimentation. Even if it was a joke. More off the wall than just about anything Frank Zappa.
His influence is really just that the band was trying to re-create his creativity and replicate his sound to a degree. He had very little to do directly with these songs though
@@samwilson2784 I disagree about them being uncanny. They couldn't replicate Syd's style. Roger's attempts are either weird enough but too serious, or comical but more conventional, while Rick's are much softer. They just couldn't write like Syd. And that's a good thing, since they quickly found their own way of writing and they (mostly Roger) had a lot a lot to bring to the table songwriting-wise. Also, this problem was only in 1968. By 1969, they found their way of doing things and nothing better to signify that than not doing singles anymore.
Its so great that every list is so different. It just goes to show that this band is loved by so many people with completely different taste. Pink floyd really did make history with their talent. Such a flawless band
11:05 Remember a day was Richard Wrights piece. 1. Wish You Were Here 2. Dark Side of the Moon 3. The Piper at the Gates of Dawn 4. The Wall 5. Meddle 6. Animals 7. A Saucerful of Secrets 8. Obscured by Clouds 9. Final Cut (too many fillers) 10. Atom Heart Mother (too many mistakes) 11. Ummagumma 12. More 13. Division Bell (boring) 14. A Momentary Lapse (boring) 15. Endless river (fillers)
I have never in my entire life, found someone else who sees atom heart mother as the best floyd album. This warms my heart as I feel like it's never talked about despite how great it is.
Thank you for having the guts to say what you think about The Wall. I don't really love it either, so I thought I was completely crazy until you ranked it where you did!
He also did slide guitar on Remember a Day, and he put some guitar work on Set The Controls For The Sun, though Gilmour claims those were scrapped and replaced with his own parts.

Dustin Clark it always makes me feel so sad and depressed when I listen to it though. I think that’s why people often rate it quite low. It’s not because it’s not good quality it’s just so...... ☹️😢😭
@@MrLledor I wouldn't go as far as to say TFC is underrated, but I genuinly think it is a great album. Great instrumentals, production, nice themes. TFC is definitly a step down compared what came before it. I personally think AMLOR is underrated. I know it is cliché in areas, but there is some really great songs like The Dogs of War, A New Machine, and ect. Production is really great, mixing, Gilmor sounds great. I know hardcores hate it, but the whole thing of "it's not a REAL Pink Floyd album" is a very fanatic thing to say.
@@HAWKEYESOLO yeah, like, whenever people say "AMLOR ISN'T REAL FLOYD!!!" i'm just like "...and TFC is real pink floyd? what is real pink floyd if not more than one founding member making music and having fun?"
Always good to see these discussions. As fans we can all have different taste and preferences but it is always good to see the music remembered and discussed.
1. The Dark Side of the Moon 2. The Wall 3. Wish You Were Here 4. Animals 5. Meddle 6. Atom Heart Mother 7. The Piper at the Gates of Dawn 8. A Saucerful of Secrets 9. Obscured by Clouds 10. More 11.

My worst to best list - More The Endless River Ummagumma Atom Heart Mother Piper At The Gates Of Dawn The Final Cut A Saucerful Of Secrets Obscured By Clouds The Division Bell Meddle A Momentary Lapse Of Reason Dark Side Of The Moon The Wall Wish You Were Here Animals It was very tough choosing between Animals and Wish You Were Here as my number 1, but it came down to my love for the longer songs between both albums. Animals i just fell in love with when i first heard it and the heavier angrier stuff from Waters.
@@spaceclown7650 To me, The Final Cut had the strongest themes of war. My father had PTSD and his favorite album was The Final Cut since he was able to connect with the deep message. His favorite song was the Gunners Dream where it depicted an impossible dream of a Utopia without war. He cried the first time when he heard it and the message is moving overall.
The main reason I'm going to list is because my list is a bit different then most. I DO like all 15 Here we go. 15. Momentary Lapse of Reason 14. The Division Bell 13. The Wall 12. More 11. The Final Cut 10. The Endless River 09. Obscured by Clouds 08. A Saucerful of Secrets 07. A Piper at the Gates of Dawn 06. Dark Side of the Moon 05. Atom Heart Mother 04. Ummagumma 03. Wish You Were Here 02. Animals 01. Meddle
The group got less interesting when they started becoming the 'Roger Waters Band' (and then the 'David Gilmour Band' once Roger split). So those first 8 albums where _everyone_ was contributing reign supreme for me.
My Worst to Best : 15. Ummagumma 14. More 13. A Saucerful of Secrets 12. The Piper at the Gates of Dawn 11. The Final Cut 10. Obscured by Clouds 9. The Endless River 8. A Momentary Lapse of Reason 7.

I think the Wall is the best. Why? Imo the emotions work best for me. When waters screams in songs like one of my turns, hey you, don't leave me now, ..... That really gets me. The transitions between slow, melancholic and harder music are so well done. I actually love almost every song of this album. And even if heard another brick in the walls solo 10.000 times now, I still think it's Floyd's best. But I think that's personal preference. In my opinion the wall is way better than The Dark side of the moon. The album concept works much better. TDSOTM's songs are individually good. But I think us and them is one of the worst Pink Floyd's songs.
@@tenzinsmith7991 I don't mean "bad", I actually meant "most overrated". Sorry for that mistake, there's a big difference between these expressions. For me it's too boring, repetitive and "mainstreamy" It's way too long. It consists of one chord and a short refrain.
Worst to best (In my opinion) - Ummagumma (studio) - More - Endless River - A saucerful of secrets - A momentary lapse of reason - The piper - Atom heart mother - Division Bell - The final cut - Obscured by clouds - Dark side of the moon - The wall - Meddle - Animals - Wish you were here

Got to give you credit for Atom Heart Mother. You had brave choices. I don't think I could rank Pink Floyd from worst to first. (my brain doesn't work that way_ However, I thoroughly enjoyed your list, facial expressions, and comments. My friend bought "The Wall" the day it came out. We listened to The Wall that night for 8 strait hours, driving from Texas towards Canada. Beer, sandwiches, and party favors. My point? Mother, Comfortably Numb, and Another Brick weren't hits yet. So our virgin ears heard it all without familiarity or prejudice. Can't put the Genie back into the bottle for you Notes, however I totally understand your viewpoint and empathize with you. Have you had a similar experience Notes? What album did you own before its hits sprang up like mushrooms after torrential rains ? Before you got sick from overexposure?
That is an excellent point! If those songs were apart of the listening experience without any prior exposure to it (as it really is intended to be) I feel my enjoyment of the wall would increase. But sadly, I can't put that Genie back in the bottle as you said :( As I'm a bit younger a lot of those songs I heard after the hype. And it's a shame that with today's marketing, we hear those singles well before the album is actually released. I guess the only one that I can think of off the top of my head is Afterglow from Genesis. I still consider it part three of the ending of Wind and Wuthering, and not really a 'stand alone single'.
"some strange Barrett songs, like Jugband Blues". You must be deaf to think that song doesn't hold a special place in the album. Syd's goodbye track to the band.
J.b syd final say to the rest of band . It's saddest songs And very movin "I don't care if nothing is mine........... I do my loving in the winter Said it's all. It's Most brilliant songs for a guy who is lossing sanity and khow he is going to replace, dark.... be is also my fav. ( Sorry for bad English as it's not my mother tongue
Notes: 21:38 "Summer of '69" is a well-known track by Brian Adams. The AHM track you're floundering around for is Rick Wright's "Summer '68". Interesting list, as always, and one that's certainly split opinions. For what it's worth, I'd have liked to see you squeeze in the compilation album "Relics". If for nothing else, every PF fan should grab the opportunity to hear the astonishingly loose and jazzy "Biding My Time", which can only be found on that little gem of collected odds and ends.
Sorry--this is my last post unless I get replies... Pink Floyd was my number one favorite band in high school, and at 51 I guess I feel the same. However my albums were played so many times that I barely listen to them now, as I can hear any song I'd like to by just recalling it...
Dreamy GirlLove I'm 16 and only been listening to them for about a year and a half, and although they're still my favorite band, I'm feeling kind of the same. I know them so well now (been grinding them non-stop for the last 1.5 years) It's almost getting boring. I need to listen to them less then I think I will be able to appreciate the music more.
For me it would be 15. The Endless River 14. UmmaGumma 13. More 12. Momentary Lapse Of Reason 11. Obscured By Clowds 10. Final Cut 9. Saucer Full Of Secrets 8. Division Bell 7. Piper At The Gates Of Dawn 6. The Wall 5. Animals 4. Atom Heart Mother 3. Meddle 2. Dark Side Of The Moon 1. Wish You Were Here (I also think the wall is overrated, but that's just me. I've listened to it so many times and its just not my thing.)
The Final Cut is a brilliant album. You don't understand it because you are American. It perfectly encapsulates what many of us in the UK were feeling at the time.
The first gig i went and saw ever was 2018's Roger Waters Us + Them Tour in Melbourne. I'm 15 and it blew me away! C'mon he played Dogs/Pigs (Three Different Ones), One of These Days, Most Dark Side of the Moon (except for Any Colour You Like), Comfortably Numb (which needs Gilmour) and Wish You Where Here/Welcome to the Machine!
Dylza Armstrong man I saw him on in July at Hyde Park. The second half blew my fucking mind and, although I'm only 14, it was really one of the best experiences of my life
Hey there, I have just discovered your channel and I wanted to see your opinions... My personal favorite album by Pink Floyd is Atom Heart Mother, and seeing you go through all of them and not seeing it pop up just gave me more and more goosebumps because I had a really hard time believing that there would be anyone else who find AHM to be their best album. You literally made my day with joy, and I had a great time watching this video, thank you!
Music is about the emotion you've obtained, not the brilliance, nor skill. If you have those, great! But if you don't have the atmosphere, you really don't have anything worth listening to.
This is like saying ''he cares less about the paintings and more about how they look''. Ambience is literally what music, and to a certain extent, what all art is about '-'
Interesting List, mine would be something like this: 17-The Endless River 16-Ummagumma Disc 2(Studio Album) 15-A Momentary Lapse Of Reason 14-The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn 13-More 12-The Final Cut 11-The Division Bell 10-Relics 9-A Saurceful Of Secrets 8-Atom Heart Mother 7-Ummagumma Disc 1(Live Album) 6- Obscured By Clouds 5-Meddle 4-Dark Side Of The Moon 3-Wish You Were Here 2-The Wall 1-Animals
How do 'Notes Reviews' guy.... If you like albums like The Endless River or instrumental music played well with contemporary rock instruments synthesiser and tradition instruments, check out the excellent Mike Oldfield. And I don't just mean Tubular Bells as he's done so much more than that. See his discography.
Disregarding the order, this is probably a pretty safely-fair combination of albums for the "top-5". I think we'd be splitting hairs, as far as debating the exact order...but I'm pretty certain that these albums really represent the epicenter of what Pink Floyd means to everyone. Piper at the Gates of Dawn is obviously an important record for many...so, maybe that would be 6th (if not debatably 5th)? Whatever the case, anyone arguing against these being the 5 epicenters are either clearly a bit zealous about their personal opinions (even if they're justified opinions), or they're thinking too much about the charts and not the spirit of the band. These five represent the happy-medium, as far as both these two clashing statistics.
15) The Final Cut 14) The Wall 13) The Endless River 12) A Momentary Lapse Of Reason 11) Ummagumma 10) More 09) The Division Bell 08) A Saucerful Of Secrets 07) Piper At The Gates Of Dawn 06) Animals 05) Obscured By Clouds 04) Dark Side Of The Moon 03) Meddle The last two spots are interchangeable - but for now - 02) Wish You Were Here 01) Atom Heart Mother
I would have put Wish you were here as number one. I think its because it has sentimental value for me. This was the first album that i listened to that introduced me to pick floyd when it came out all those years ago. I was only 12 yrs old and it blew my mind. I remember putting on the record (when vynal was the only way to listen to music, except for cassettes), and I use to listen to it over and over again. My favourite tracks are Have a cigar, and Welcome to the machine. I still listen to it today, often, but on my streaming service. Why oh why did I get rid of my record collection. Never mind just have to buy it again ;)
Not really the most radical rock album ever, there are albums far more experimental and groundbreaking. However I find the studio album to be a pretty good take on avant rock, while the live section being incredibly good. Great album overall imo

Animals (Too agressive, too bitter Waters' lyrics) 9. The Piper at the gates 10. Atom heart Mother 11. The Division Bell (Sounds too 90's) 12. The final cut (Waters is not a musician, he is more a lyricist. The music is terrible.)
Helge Klocke yeah I keep thinking that Division Bell is way too easy and safe to be any good. It has some high notes (such as Cluster One and Poles Apart) but also some low points. Although I wouldn't have put it as low down as you did
Why does everyone rank Ummagumma so low? It was a musique-concrete classic and is better than The Final Cut, Momentary Lapse of Reason and Division Bell ... And Several Species is one of their best tracks ever ....
Probably because the music isn't really composed or thought through. It's "experimental" music, which in this case means that they simply started recording whatever sonic toys they had lying around, hoping for the best. And when the best didn't happen, they just released whatever the hell they did get. And it was BAD. But the live songs are brilliant.

Saying The Wall is overrated and The Division Bell underrated?....this makes me reevaluate my opinion of you....The Wall is one of my favorite albums and it´s a masterpiece as The Dark Side, while The Division Bell is just plain boring most of the time...And I did know that you like Atom Heart Mother, but number one??? Are you serious?? This album is just overblown and the Psychedelic Breakfast is just a bad song. Even the band say that the album is a pile of horseshit.
The Wall has some really good filler tracks but the division bell is just a lower quality all around. The Wall is my favorite Floyd album due to the incredible amount of amazing songs, tracks like Run Like Hell, Waiting for the Worms (My favorite song, period.), The Trial, The Thin Ice, The Happiest Days of our Lives, In The Flesh, In the Flesh?, and The Young Lust. Even the radio songs and singles like ABITWP2, Mother, One of my Turns, and Hey You are great in their own right. And I earnestly don’t believe the Division Bell is up to that standard, and neither is any Floyd album (expect for Meddle, DSOTM, WYWH, and Animals, arguments about those are fun.)

It’s not about who leads the album. It’s about how good the music is
The Wall isn’t a mess. The concept is the life of the character Pink and his eventual breakdown because of what has happened throughout his life.
Yeah, and his life is a mess. Thus, the album is a mess.
Considering this guy keeps messing up the names of the songs and thinks that Richard Wright willfully left the band, I think it's safe to say he's not the most knowledgeable person about Pink Floyd.
It's good but not there best
Division bell is definitely a excellent album
@@briancox8518 Meddle and Animals are my favourites.
Best album by the floyd is obviously meddle since it has the best song which is Seamus.
Lol
DingDong
Kudos... kudos... high five dude!
Really I love one of theese days
+DingDong WRONG! 'Several Species of Small, Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict' is clearly their best song!
+The Hermit LOLOLOL you guys are funny...umma gumma I agree though is up there!
Bring the boys back home is all the soldiers coming home and seeing all the kids running up to their fathers and Pink realizing that his father is not coming home.
What the f!!??. The Wall isn't a bunch of different unfocused themes! It's different stages of the character's life, different things in the character's life that piled up and explain and led to the breakdown. Different "bricks" in the wall!
Yep. Also his criticism that several of the best tracks are never played on the radio is completely invalid. What does that have to do with anything?
It's still overrated
Exactly. But those bricks are really bricks from Roger's life and mind, no matter how much he denies it.
I'm just glad that his bricks are interesting to listen to. It could've been much worse if The Wall was simply about the bricks in someone's love life...
David Eler LOL NO, DSotM is the real biggest overrated pile of garbage ever.
What so because an album dosnt have its best songs on the radio, it's a lesser album!?
This guy is clearly gilmour bias and really under appreciates waters
IMO
The Wall is so low because it had good singles. What?
yeah this guy is a lunatic
@@joshuahuf9747
But he likes prog. I forgive him.
And he still likes the album. So for me it's ok.
Kevin The Cat "the lunatic is in the vid"
@@brycenpace hahaha brain damage
All the other albums above it are better so yes
Regarding Piper at the Gates of Dawn, you're confusing variety and contrast with lack of identity etc.
Along with also PF finding their style
Lack of identity? It's one of the most original rock albums of all time.
This is exactly the kind of opinion that I love. One that differs from my own, but which still makes me go "hmm, you make some great points there."
I'm glad you and I share a similar appreciation of "Obscured by Clouds". Being squashed between "Meddle" and "Dark Side" it's so overlooked but has a decent amount of quality.
Just because an album has a mixed tone from song to song doesn't mean it's quality is lowered.
Glad you put Atom Heart Mother so high - it's an under-celebrated classic, even by members of Pink Floyd itself. Love it.
I agree, it’s a complete masterpiece
Its good, but not number one. That spot is reserved for dark side of the moon and/or meddle. I can’t decide between the two.
Sorry but its shit😂
Unpopular opinion, but More is easily one of my favorite albums, and I believe it just has to do with a subjective trippy experience I had while listening to it. Not sure if it's my absolute favorite, because I also love Obscured by Clouds, Animals, and DSOTM. Division Bell is also great.
I think More deserves more love (no pun intended).
Connor Lishman THANK YOU!!!!
Yes Quicksilver is one of my favorite pieces/songs overall!
More and Obscured by Clouds are great
yeah more is amazing. When I first got into floyd I didn't care for it. But after years of listening to floyd it's my top 3
Agreed. I was sad to see him rank it last. It would have made my top 5, for the very reason he didn't like it: It merged old PF to new PF. Almost best of both worlds, IMHO.

I love the Final Cut, there is so much emotion on that album from Roger. the wall was ground breaking. Animals is a masterpiece, and Dark Side of The Moon is incredible, especially given when it was released. I can remember peeling away the cellophane of my vinyl in anticipation when it was released and being gob smacked at the end of the first hearing.
The Final Cut is not a bad album at all. It's an unhappy album, both given how it was created while the band was imploding, and in its subject matter,
but there's not a bad track on it. The problem is that the theme of the album doesn't mean very much if the listener isn't closely familiar with British politics
of the 80s, and specifically with Thatcher and the Falklands war.
Artists can't help what inspires them, but I think it's a shame that it had to be that particular war that inspired Roger to write those songs, since it immediately dates the album
and makes it an artifact of its time. The other Pink Floyd albums have much looser concepts, and are more timeless as a result.
As soon as you write about a specific event, time or place, particularly something that happened fairly recently, you limit your vision.
Dark Side or The Wall can mean any number of things to anyone who listens to them, but The Final Cut is only about that damn war.
I know Floyd fans who swear The Final Cut is an unrecognized gem in their catalogue. But tbh I could never understand the love. To me it's more like a Waters solo album. And if I want a good Waters solo album I have Radio KAOS.
I disagree completely about Ummagumma. When people ask me for my favorite PF album I always say Ummagumma, simply to start the discussion about this little misunderstood gem. Its not my favorite, but its probably top 5 or 6 and I think it is one of their best. Hear me out.
Lets start with the live versions. You were quick to dismiss them, and I can see why HOWEVER there is 1 song there that was a single and the first LP it appeared on was Ummagumma. Talking of course about Careful with that Axe Eugene. I am aware how singles were treated at the time, but we know better. Careful with that axe Eugene was an Ummagumma track. That song is DECADES ahead of its time. It has what I can only describe as black metal vocals on it. Not only do they sound like black metal vocals, they serve the same purpose that is to convey a deeply emotional and cathartic feeling. Even if you disagree with me that those are black metal vocals, everyone can agree that they are extreme vocals.
Now onto the studio album. It is not entertaining music, but we love progressive music we can agree that music need not be entertaining. On those grounds, Ummagumma can be considered an avant-garde album, especially with songs like Several furry (wont type the rest here xD). Outside of a few weird composers absolutely no one was doing music like that at the time. Surely that deserves some praise. And its not all avant-garde either, you do have cool progressive songs like The Narrow way 3.
Overall I think Ummagumma is absolutely their most underrated album and for damn shame. Its a funky little experience, that was creative in many ways. I think you are spot on about Atom heart mother and Alans psychedelic breakfast. It is also one of PFs misunderstood albums and much of my defense for Ummagumma can be extended to it as well :P
You make a good argument for your position
I personally hate it
Can we really talk seriously about the vocals for Careful With That Axe, Eugene? I mean, it's just two lines and the rest they repeat the title of the song. They don't even sing it. It's not a bad song, but it's more of an experiment than a song. Ummagumma is a requirement for Floyd fans, but it is still one of their weaker albums as far as popularity. I like experimentation, but when every song is an experiment it gets old.
You do know he didn't count the live section of the album
It’s not one of their best obviously, it’s never been my least favorite, buts grown on me for sure and I like it way more than I used to. Hell id even say I enjoy it. Off the top of my head I’d put it above more and personally I’d put it over anything after the wall (maybe with the exception of MLoR) but in my humble opinion MORE is their worst, some ok tracks on it but to me it’s my least favorite. I listened to it a couple times fairly recently and it was fine but it doesn’t wow me and those last couple listens didn’t really boost it on my list like my last couple listens of ummagumma did.
I’ll get shit for this, but Piper At The Gates Of Dawn IMO is the best Floyd album of all time. I listen and respect to all the other albums (besides more ) but I mean the work done on this and the innovation /creation is surreal. I’m not dickriding Syd but his style of playing and creative lyrics are so ahead of its time
Totally agree with that !!!!
And Syd's choppy style of writing inspired lots of interesting bands in the post punk / new wave era. The later Pink Floyd inspired no-one. I do like Floyd from Meddle to Wish You Where Here, but they were a rock band. Syd's Floyd were unfathomable.
Maybe I didn't word it in the best way. What I mean is that Syd's work opened a door to a myriad of musical directions. I love Floyd's later stuff, but it is firmly rooted in "rock" which became stale during the 1970s.
A very respectable opinion
If you prefer Piper it just means you prefer psychedelic rock over prog-rock
The Final Cut was so low because it was written by only one guy?
...What?
All lead vocals performed by Roger Waters, except "Not Now John" by David Gilmour and Waters.
All tracks written by Roger Waters.
Steve P I think it meant it was a bullshit reason to put so low
my favourite Pink Floyd album TBH
It wasn’t low because it was written by one person. It was low because it was shit.
sorry guys, i wanted to tell this uploader how dumb it is rate anything floyd either full floyd or waters/gilmore heavy or lite.......they are the guys who created magic and individually have both merits ............but sorry to be critical, but as ive said on other posts,,,,some took gilmore side after the split, some took waters side, but realise there are more of us who see floyd as parents and we dont dont take sides as we know both are fantastic in their own way and together they make magic from two genius minds together. i dont dislike ppl rating floyd, but to a real fan, its a pointless exercise.
More... "The Nile Song" One of the greatest unsung hard rock songs of the time??? No???
If the production on it was better it would've definitely been the best song on More.
I agree I am a More fan myself and the album is underrated and haa very special qualities... the spaced out blues jam I love and Spanisj piece etc and the Nile SONG is one of their best all out rockers.
no
add "Cirrus Minor" to it, as well.
"Cymbelline" is by far my favorite _More_ song (which belongs nowhere near the bottom : P).
Several Species Of Small Furry long named song is literally a masterpiece
I think their intention was to show there were no limits to where the band would go when it came to experimentation. Even if it was a joke. More off the wall than just about anything Frank Zappa.
That is the shittiest song
I wouldn't call it music......but it's creepy and funny😂
The Wall is my favourite album of all time by any artist.
Waters wrote Corporal Clegg and Wright wrote See-saw and Remember a Day.
Maybe, but the influence of Syd on See-saw & Remember is critical.
His influence is really just that the band was trying to re-create his creativity and replicate his sound to a degree. He had very little to do directly with these songs though
Perhaps, but that sound and idiosyncracy of the lyrics, especially on Seesaw is uncanny.
@@samwilson2784 I disagree about them being uncanny. They couldn't replicate Syd's style. Roger's attempts are either weird enough but too serious, or comical but more conventional, while Rick's are much softer. They just couldn't write like Syd. And that's a good thing, since they quickly found their own way of writing and they (mostly Roger) had a lot a lot to bring to the table songwriting-wise. Also, this problem was only in 1968. By 1969, they found their way of doing things and nothing better to signify that than not doing singles anymore.
Ummmm....Three DIFFERENT ONES, not Three Kinds...
ECLIPSE, not TOTAL Eclipse.
Perhaps this was a mix up with the Bonnie Tyler list??
It was a total eclipse of the heart beat at the end of the album XD
Its so great that every list is so different. It just goes to show that this band is loved by so many people with completely different taste. Pink floyd really did make history with their talent. Such a flawless band
11:05 Remember a day was Richard Wrights piece. 1. Wish You Were Here 2. Dark Side of the Moon 3. The Piper at the Gates of Dawn 4. The Wall 5. Meddle 6. Animals 7. A Saucerful of Secrets 8.

I have never in my entire life, found someone else who sees atom heart mother as the best floyd album. This warms my heart as I feel like it's never talked about despite how great it is.
Same here!! And I have not found many who rated Wish You Were Here above the Dark Side, if even by a notch!
Still blows my mind how Pink Floyd released Dsotm, Wywh, Animals and the wall one after the other. It doesn't get more overpowered than that
Thank you for having the guts to say what you think about The Wall. I don't really love it either, so I thought I was completely crazy until you ranked it where you did!
Your analysis of the wall made absolutely no sense. It was all connected perfectly because it was about one man’s life
Zatch yeah
His analysis of Saucerful was worse. He tried but at least you should know who wrote what.
Yea I enjoyed lots of his viewpoints on albums, but when he started talking about the wall my body functions started to shutdown
Wall is a blender. Absolutely overrated.
Dude! Really awesome list! Atom Heart Mother is so good! Obscured by Clouds is top 5 for me though.
Edward Lindell Obscurred By Clouds
Having The Final Cut below Momentary Lapse of Reason should be a crime punishable by death. Maybe.
Final Cut is géy
AMLOR is bad in many ways
Very cliched
I love TFC
Nigu II so you like it
Fuck AMLOR.
Final cut is shoy
Syd barret did only jugbang blues on saucerfull of secrets
He also did slide guitar on Remember a Day, and he put some guitar work on Set The Controls For The Sun, though Gilmour claims those were scrapped and replaced with his own parts.

Agreed, very underrated. I rate it close to my 4th favourite myself
Dustin Clark it always makes me feel so sad and depressed when I listen to it though. I think that’s why people often rate it quite low. It’s not because it’s not good quality it’s just so...... ☹️😢😭
@@MrLledor I wouldn't go as far as to say TFC is underrated, but I genuinly think it is a great album. Great instrumentals, production, nice themes. TFC is definitly a step down compared what came before it. I personally think AMLOR is underrated. I know it is cliché in areas, but there is some really great songs like The Dogs of War, A New Machine, and ect. Production is really great, mixing, Gilmor sounds great. I know hardcores hate it, but the whole thing of "it's not a REAL Pink Floyd album" is a very fanatic thing to say.
@@HAWKEYESOLO yeah, like, whenever people say "AMLOR ISN'T REAL FLOYD!!!" i'm just like "...and TFC is real pink floyd? what is real pink floyd if not more than one founding member making music and having fun?"

It was very tough choosing between Animals and Wish You Were Here as my number 1, but it came down to my love for the longer songs between both albums. Animals i just fell in love with when i first heard it and the heavier angrier stuff from Waters.
Notes, have you given Syd Barrett's two solo albums a listen? Would love to hear your opinion on them. Btw, I just subscribed! :)
Piper is way too low, your nuts. It would be in my top 5 PF albums.
The wall and piper are so low
Because they not good
"The Final Cut" RULES
Why though? I'm not being sarcastic, I'm just curious.
@@spaceclown7650 To me, The Final Cut had the strongest themes of war. My father had PTSD and his favorite album was The Final Cut since he was able to connect with the deep message. His favorite song was the Gunners Dream where it depicted an impossible dream of a Utopia without war. He cried the first time when he heard it and the message is moving overall.

Momentary Lapse and Division Bell being more of a Gilmour album makes sense since Waters wasn't around....
The group got less interesting when they started becoming the 'Roger Waters Band' (and then the 'David Gilmour Band' once Roger split). So those first 8 albums where _everyone_ was contributing reign supreme for me.

Thank you for putting AHM at Number 1. Under appreciated masterpiece
The Division Bell is so underrated
I think the Wall is the best. Why?
Imo the emotions work best for me.
When waters screams in songs like one of my turns, hey you, don't leave me now, ..... That really gets me. The transitions between slow, melancholic and harder music are so well done.
I actually love almost every song of this album. And even if heard another brick in the walls solo 10.000 times now, I still think it's Floyd's best. But I think that's personal preference.
In my opinion the wall is way better than The Dark side of the moon. The album concept works much better. TDSOTM's songs are individually good. But I think us and them is one of the worst Pink Floyd's songs.
Funny, I agreed with you and thought you had some good points, until you said Us and Them was one of the worst Pink Floyd songs.
@@tenzinsmith7991 I don't mean "bad", I actually meant "most overrated". Sorry for that mistake, there's a big difference between these expressions.

Got to give you credit for Atom Heart Mother. You had brave choices. I don't think I could rank Pink Floyd from worst to first. (my brain doesn't work that way_ However, I thoroughly enjoyed your list, facial expressions, and comments.
My friend bought "The Wall" the day it came out. We listened to The Wall that night for 8 strait hours, driving from Texas towards Canada. Beer, sandwiches, and party favors.
My point? Mother, Comfortably Numb, and Another Brick weren't hits yet. So our virgin ears heard it all without familiarity or prejudice. Can't put the Genie back into the bottle for you Notes, however I totally understand your viewpoint and empathize with you. Have you had a similar experience Notes? What album did you own before its hits sprang up like mushrooms after torrential rains ? Before you got sick from overexposure?
That is an excellent point! If those songs were apart of the listening experience without any prior exposure to it (as it really is intended to be) I feel my enjoyment of the wall would increase. But sadly, I can't put that Genie back in the bottle as you said :(
As I'm a bit younger a lot of those songs I heard after the hype. And it's a shame that with today's marketing, we hear those singles well before the album is actually released. I guess the only one that I can think of off the top of my head is Afterglow from Genesis. I still consider it part three of the ending of Wind and Wuthering, and not really a 'stand alone single'.
"some strange Barrett songs, like Jugband Blues". You must be deaf to think that song doesn't hold a special place in the album. Syd's goodbye track to the band.
He lost his mind tho
Radmond Broh nah
Siegfried Pintar ya
J.b syd final say to the rest of band . It's saddest songs
And very movin "I don't care if nothing is mine........... I do my loving in the winter
Said it's all. It's Most brilliant songs for a guy who is lossing sanity and khow he is going to replace, dark....
be is also my fav. ( Sorry for bad English as it's not my mother tongue
My favorites are Wish You Were Here, Dark Side of the Moon, the Pulse live album, and Animals.
Notes: 21:38 "Summer of '69" is a well-known track by Brian Adams. The AHM track you're floundering around for is Rick Wright's "Summer '68". Interesting list, as always, and one that's certainly split opinions. For what it's worth, I'd have liked to see you squeeze in the compilation album "Relics". If for nothing else, every PF fan should grab the opportunity to hear the astonishingly loose and jazzy "Biding My Time", which can only be found on that little gem of collected odds and ends.
Sorry--this is my last post unless I get replies...
Pink Floyd was my number one favorite band in high school, and at 51 I guess I feel the same. However my albums were played so many times that I barely listen to them now, as I can hear any song I'd like to by just recalling it...
Is that a promise?
Dreamy GirlLove I'm 16 and only been listening to them for about a year and a half, and although they're still my favorite band, I'm feeling kind of the same. I know them so well now (been grinding them non-stop for the last 1.5 years) It's almost getting boring. I need to listen to them less then I think I will be able to appreciate the music more.
Animals is for me the best Floyd album, just a masterpiece in every way. Keep up the good work Notes. When will you do Rush, Elp or King Crimson.

The Final Cut is a brilliant album. You don't understand it because you are American. It perfectly encapsulates what many of us in the UK were feeling at the time.
r/gatekeeping
All americans hate it apparantely, may have something to do with falklands war?
The first gig i went and saw ever was 2018's Roger Waters Us + Them Tour in Melbourne. I'm 15 and it blew me away! C'mon he played Dogs/Pigs (Three Different Ones), One of These Days, Most Dark Side of the Moon (except for Any Colour You Like), Comfortably Numb (which needs Gilmour) and Wish You Where Here/Welcome to the Machine!
Dylza Armstrong man I saw him on in July at Hyde Park. The second half blew my fucking mind and, although I'm only 14, it was really one of the best experiences of my life
Hey there, I have just discovered your channel and I wanted to see your opinions... My personal favorite album by Pink Floyd is Atom Heart Mother, and seeing you go through all of them and not seeing it pop up just gave me more and more goosebumps because I had a really hard time believing that there would be anyone else who find AHM to be their best album. You literally made my day with joy, and I had a great time watching this video, thank you!
Im glad and taken by surprise at your number one, great choice! Stumbled on you by chance and funnily im playing your T-shirt on vinyl
I think this guy cares less about the music and more about the ambience it gives him
Juventino Gutierrez III why do you have a kumon face as your profile?
It's his own interpretation of what are Pink Floyd's best and worst albums. That's the point.
PitchSkullBlack exactly
Music is about the emotion you've obtained, not the brilliance, nor skill. If you have those, great! But if you don't have the atmosphere, you really don't have anything worth listening to.
This is like saying ''he cares less about the paintings and more about how they look''. Ambience is literally what music, and to a certain extent, what all art is about '-'
Animals has always been my favourite.
Seems like the obvious choice to me.
Interesting List, mine would be something like this:
17-The Endless River
16-Ummagumma Disc 2(Studio Album)
15-A Momentary Lapse Of Reason
14-The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn
13-More
12-The Final Cut
11-The Division Bell
10-Relics
9-A Saurceful Of Secrets
8-Atom Heart Mother
7-Ummagumma Disc 1(Live Album)
6- Obscured By Clouds
5-Meddle
4-Dark Side Of The Moon
3-Wish You Were Here
2-The Wall
1-Animals
My Top 5:
1. Is There Anybody Out There (The Wall Live)
2. DSOTM
3. Animals
4. The Wall
5. WYWH
How do 'Notes Reviews' guy.... If you like albums like The Endless River or instrumental music played well with contemporary rock instruments synthesiser and tradition instruments, check out the excellent Mike Oldfield. And I don't just mean Tubular Bells as he's done so much more than that. See his discography.
Return to Ommadawn was my favourite album last year :) And Amarok still holds a special place in my heart
Top five
5.- Meddle
4.- The Wall
3.- Animal
2.- The Dark Side of the Moon
1.- Wish You Were Here
Mine too

5. The wall
4. Meddle
3. Animals
2. DSOTM
1. WYWH
Disregarding the order, this is probably a pretty safely-fair combination of albums for the "top-5". I think we'd be splitting hairs, as far as debating the exact order...but I'm pretty certain that these albums really represent the epicenter of what Pink Floyd means to everyone. Piper at the Gates of Dawn is obviously an important record for many...so, maybe that would be 6th (if not debatably 5th)? Whatever the case, anyone arguing against these being the 5 epicenters are either clearly a bit zealous about their personal opinions (even if they're justified opinions), or they're thinking too much about the charts and not the spirit of the band. These five represent the happy-medium, as far as both these two clashing statistics.
15) The Final Cut
14) The Wall
13) The Endless River
12) A Momentary Lapse Of Reason
11) Ummagumma
10) More
09) The Division Bell
08) A Saucerful Of Secrets
07) Piper At The Gates Of Dawn
06) Animals
05) Obscured By Clouds
04) Dark Side Of The Moon
03) Meddle
The last two spots are interchangeable - but for now -
02) Wish You Were Here
01) Atom Heart Mother
I would have put Wish you were here as number one. I think its because it has sentimental value for me. This was the first album that i listened to that introduced me to pick floyd when it came out all those years ago. I was only 12 yrs old and it blew my mind. I remember putting on the record (when vynal was the only way to listen to music, except for cassettes), and I use to listen to it over and over again. My favourite tracks are Have a cigar, and Welcome to the machine. I still listen to it today, often, but on my streaming service. Why oh why did I get rid of my record collection. Never mind just have to buy it again ;)
Cmooon, you put Ummagumma, the most radical rock album ever, to second worst????
Ummagumma is incoherent noodling, during a period where the band literally had no idea what they were doing.
The band was literally on drugs while writing the pieces on Ummagumma.
He didn't even mention Careful with that Axe Eugene
Lol, that album was chaos
Not really the most radical rock album ever, there are albums far more experimental and groundbreaking. However I find the studio album to be a pretty good take on avant rock, while the live section being incredibly good. Great album overall imo
6. Saucerful of Secrets
5. Meddle
4. The Wall
3. Wish you were here

1. Dark Side of the Moon

3. Meddle
4. A momentary lapse of Reason (contains powerful songs: Sorrow, On the Turning Away, Learning to Fly...)
5. The Wall
6. A caucerful of Secrets
7. The Endless River
8. Animals (Too agressive, too bitter Waters' lyrics)
9. The Piper at the gates
10. Atom heart Mother
11. The Division Bell (Sounds too 90's)
12. The final cut (Waters is not a musician, he is more a lyricist. The music is terrible.)
Helge Klocke yeah I keep thinking that Division Bell is way too easy and safe to be any good. It has some high notes (such as Cluster One and Poles Apart) but also some low points. Although I wouldn't have put it as low down as you did
I don't see how The Division Bell is "too 90's" when it was released in 1994.
Why does everyone rank Ummagumma so low? It was a musique-concrete classic and is better than The Final Cut, Momentary Lapse of Reason and Division Bell ... And Several Species is one of their best tracks ever ....
this is a troll, right?
Probably because the music isn't really composed or thought through. It's "experimental" music, which in this case means that they simply started recording whatever
sonic toys they had lying around, hoping for the best. And when the best didn't happen, they just released whatever the hell they did get. And it was BAD.
But the live songs are brilliant.
there’s a starman eating beans, surely...
Better than The Division Bell and Momentary Lapse Of Reason? Really?

Own all of these.. not a fan of the rest nor of Division Bell to be honnest. I own ummagumma too but never listen to it... Im a bit disappointed you didnt really cover Piper at the gates of dawn, but I understand its not generally what "we" associate "The Pink Floyd" with. Great video nonetheless!
Saying The Wall is overrated and The Division Bell underrated?....this makes me reevaluate my opinion of you....The Wall is one of my favorite albums and it´s a masterpiece as The Dark Side, while The Division Bell is just plain boring most of the time...And I did know that you like Atom Heart Mother, but number one??? Are you serious?? This album is just overblown and the Psychedelic Breakfast is just a bad song. Even the band say that the album is a pile of horseshit.
Eraser
It's his opinion dude. Personally I think Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast is a masterpiece, and I think The Wall is overrated, but that's just me.
Div Bell and Wall are both fantastic, AHM is meh
Eraser the wall is overrated, but the division bell can't be rated low enough for me. I hate division bell.
The Division Bell > The Wall, it's not even close for me. The Wall is MASSIVELY overrated.
The Wall has some really good filler tracks but the division bell is just a lower quality all around. The Wall is my favorite Floyd album due to the incredible amount of amazing songs, tracks like Run Like Hell, Waiting for the Worms (My favorite song, period.), The Trial, The Thin Ice, The Happiest Days of our Lives, In The Flesh, In the Flesh?, and The Young Lust. Even the radio songs and singles like ABITWP2, Mother, One of my Turns, and Hey You are great in their own right. And I earnestly don’t believe the Division Bell is up to that standard, and neither is any Floyd album (expect for Meddle, DSOTM, WYWH, and Animals, arguments about those are fun.)
Acceptable. I'd put Meddle at #1 just because of Echoes. I remember playing the first side a couple of times, but I wore out side 2 of two albums.
The first three songs of the album are masterpieces
Glad you like The Divsision Bell, one of their most underrated albums!!
Like me you are more of a fan of David Gilmour ❤️❤️❤️ Roger is too in your face but he is gooooodd
Thank you for appreciating both! People really need to stop taking one side and hating the other...
Pre 80's Waters is great, The Wall and beyond... not so much until recently
