@@classicalbum With pleasure, my man. You have a new rabid subscriber for sure. Passing on knowledge of great music and sharing what music means to use is a duty we have been saddled with. A badge to wear proudly. Cheers!

The Divisoon Bell was a waste of time soe was the Endlesss river!!!!!

@@michaelsalisbury1477 Marooned was pretty good track. Also the lyric: So I open my door to my enemies And ask can we wipe the ate clean But they tell me to please go fuck myself You know you just can’t win No doubt a shot at a certain band mate. 😉

@@michaelsalisbury1477 Interestingly, I was in a bar one time, and some younger people, offspring of my friends, asked me what bands I liked. (Which is only a step up from 'What's your favourite colour?') After naming a few bands they'd never heard of, I said Pink Floyd. They said that they quite liked The Division Bell, but didn't know much about the earlier stuff... (I've heard The Division Bell probably twice, and that was enough for me.)

Animals is leaps and bounds better than The Wall, in my opinion. I just looked at The Wall tracklist to refresh my memory, and I could fit the tracks I like from it on one side

@@docdeens4030 Ah yes - but I was more commenting on the puns!

The puns are great. But Animals can be neither eclipsed or overshadowed by anything. It’s the best Pink Floyd album.

@@monty2005 It's curious that, from reading the comments on RU-vid videos, Animals is like Marmite. You either love it or hate it. Maybe hate is too strong a word for Animals, but until The Wall was released, it was my least favorite of my Floyd collection. But then The Wall took that slot...

@@lazer2365 I agree about the Marmite thing. Animals came out a few months before I was born, so I can only remember The Wall coming out onwards (I remember being terrified by the video to Brick 2 when it was on Top of the Pops around Christmas ‘79). After I discovered DSotM and WYWH in my mums record collection around the age of 10 or 11, and Dark Side especially kicking off my PF habit, I went out and got the albums over yhe next few years (or got people to give them me as gifts). Animals was the last one of the big ones that I got, having always put it off because it only had five tracks. I can still remember the day I brought it home and listened to it for the first time. It was truly a WOW moment. I fell in love with the album the first time I ever heard it. It is my absolute favourite album, by any artist/band ever! Having heard the 2018 remix of Dogs, it’s given me a second WOW moment. Pigs is my favourite track, so I can’t wait until the 16th to hear it. I just wish there were live recordings from the In the Flesh tour, like professional ones. I definitely remember reading that James Guthrie was asked to work on one show from that tour after the success of Is There Anybody Out There, but for some reason he felt he couldn’t do it justice, yet it’s said there are no professional multi tracks of any of the shows. At least we have Oakland ‘77! As for The Wall, for me too it occupies my least favourite slot, at least of the Meddle onwards albums, but I had always wanted to see it performed live, and I was lucky enough to see Roger do it at Birmingham in an arena setting then again at Wembley Stadium. I have to say that was another WOW moment, especially at Birmingham. I’d love to see all of Animals performed live. Have you ever heard Live Frogs Set 2 by Les Claypool? It’s a fucking amazing set consisting entirely of Animals live!

and has been for decades!

Dark side is like #35 they're on crack

I think this is accurate

I do not agree. Some albums are just decent.

Except they DO have their share of crap.

atom heart mother is the only one i'd classify as bad

I mean they have some eh albums. But yea a lot of their best stuff is very good. I think what’s so impressive isn’t the amount of good stuff (there are bands that have a larger amount of good albums), but just how good the good stuff is. They really have like 2 or 3 of the greatest albums ever.

Stop lying to yourself. Final Cut is pretty bad and Ummagumma completely sucks.

I love Atom Heart, but it seems to get beaten up a lot out there...unfairly!

Atom Heart Mother is the most unterrated album from Pink Floyd. I like that it is ranked so high in this video. Although i rank AHM "only" on fourth place it is the Floyd Album I listened to the most.

But #2? Come on. That is absurd. The fact that the 1970 BBC sessions are superior across the board is reason enough to relegate the album to middle at best.

I believe that Pink Floyd regard Atom Heart Mother as an embarrassing mistake. Personally I like it a lot, and played it to death in my youth.

agree..I spent months listening to this one!

But Wish you werr e gere isPGs worst album with Roger W!!!???

But Wish you werr e gere is PFs worst album with Roger W!!!!!!!!

And if I were a good man, and I'd understand the spaces between friends.

Silence in the Studio!!!!!!!!

I heartily agree! I love this album! It's almost my favorite offering from Pink Floyd but then again just about everything from Pink Floyd could be be favorite album. Anyway, I really like the Funky Dung section.

Wow! 5 times! A person would be lucky enough to have seen Floyd once, but five times.

But EWish you were here is PFs worst album with Roger W!!!!!!

Only once or twice a year? I listen to this album at least once or twice a month.

Once or twice a year? That's as often as I watch the Lord of the Rings trilogy, I listen to that album as often as I can

@@alonsoarana5307 He probably listens to other music too :)

@@johnharrison9685 He probably isnt locked in listening just one good band when there are countless of others that are at least almost as good.

@@johnharrison9685 once or twice a month? I listen to it once or twice a week

You have made the correct best assessment.

Me too. Class of 79. This was our class album of the year.

Yes I know... but it is an album I love. I think people should just see these lists for what they are, an individual expression of personal taste.. I always say, the most important thing is we are all listening to the music albeit in a different order

@@classicalbum fully agree. In my twenties I was - like many music fans - rather obsessed with lists and rankings, but nowadays rather share the view that a ranking is rather impossible, or more of a basis to discuss individual opinions.

Brave indeed. Not too many Floydists would ever in a million yrs put Atom Heart ahead of Animals and WYWH

@@corkydukeII5898 btw, nice user pic ;-)

@@murdockreviews Hehe Looks like someone's an A-Team fan : )

Exact same top 5 as mine 😁

No doubt about it, the 1970s was Floyd's decade.

Thank you for commenting. Do check out my other pink floyd content.

The Wall is way better I agree.

Even better since 2019

I'd agree that A Momentary Lapse of Reason is decent. On the Turning Away is probably my favorite, and Learning to Fly would be second. I would put it somewhere around The Wall overall.

@@jah9253 I agree. Just behind The Wall for me

Opinion aside....

Totally agreed, personally tFC is my best Floyd album.

I'm giving you a 'like' for your top-5, Stevie - probably my top 5 albeit not necessarily in the same order (but you'd never get any two Floyd fans agreeing that). A special thumbs-up for including the hugely under-appreciated OBC in your top 5 - full of excellent focused songs, great guitar playing, a few atmospherics, and, hell, I even like Rick Wright's love song Stay. Peace.

Strange, it seems to have become modern to rank ANIMALS at number 1. When the Album came out 1977 everyone hated it - and I hated it too (I was 12 years old then). Today I like it more since i understand the meaning of the album better today, but musically it is definitely not one of the best.

@@martinrasinger6306 Yes, I think you're right, Martin, Animals has generally gained in appreciation over the years. I would have it as high as a top 4 or 5. Still Dark Side at 1, for me, though.

@@tonyanderton3521 Hello ! I also made a ranking here. THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON is also my number 1. Animals at 6.

@@martinrasinger6306 Thanks, Martin. Yes, of course; Dark Side remains their best. All the best.

You aren't Nuts.

We’ll just like Donald Trump, he deserves to be that arrogant. After all he has achieved, I think he can confidently say that it is going to be a good show

So is "Animals" and "The Wall" are Waters' solo albums really.

Animals>The Wall>Momentary Lapse of Reason>Final Cut in my opinion.

@@vicinvesta8349 Comfortably Numb, Run Like Hell, and Young Lust are all co-written by David and they are the best songs on the album.

@@ChiefXuligan Gimme a break. David contributed to 3 songs. Awww..... So cute.

@@vicinvesta8349 I'm aware that those albums have been created under Roger's supervision, his lyrics are great. However, especially David's and Rick's musical work on "Animals" is incredible, so I don't think you can tell it a Waters solo album. Also, the musical pearls on "The Wall" shine because of David's musical work. When you compare "The final Cut" to Water's real solo albums you can clearly hear, that it has only Floyd in the name, all the great influence of the other band members are missing (unfortunately) - no comparison to "Animals" or "The Wall"!

Thanks for the sub!

I agree Division Bell is brilliant, but I'm not a Waters fan.

The most perverse part of your sentence was the second half (the admission that you are a Waters fan).

Imagine being a Pink Floyd fan and hating Roger Waters

Also Amused To Death >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Division Bell

I want to like the division bell...I love waters and Gilmour...I love momentary lapse of reason and the final cut...I know people like it and most like it more than momentary...I just never felt the songs had any life to them..im currently listening to it on regular rotation hoping it had grown on me..

You should take advantage of the opportunity to introduce yourself to them chronologically.

@@justinodum2400 thanks 👍🏻

Glad you enjoyed it!

I agree with one of your points. I can’t understand him or anyone ranking The Wall that low. I do agree that it’s a lot better than The Division Bell though, that is actually bordering on embarrassing

The Wall is far from my favorite Floyd album. But it is heads above anything that Floyd did post-Roger Waters.

@@christopher9152 Of Course

It's just one person's opinion

I cannot understand why the wAll is low. Best PF album.

Wow, thank you! Share this video and I might be on the road to my first million...

@@classicalbum Count on it!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Couldn't agree more!

Welcome aboard!

I agree.
