I have to say that I'm impressed that 3 of you picked a top 5, but none of you had DSotM as one of your choices. I think most people would have given good odds against that happening with any 3 Pink Floyd fans! I liked your choices, for the most part. I'd have reordered them a bit, naturally, & I'd likely have snuck Piper in there somewhere, but for the most part we're not too far apart. Albeit, 'The Wall' wouldn't even make my top 10. I played it recently, and was bored rigid, except for those few really good tracks (I suspect we agree on those too).
Fun Fact: Roger does not play bass on A Pillow Of Winds,Pigs(three different ones),Hey You. David Gilmour played his Fender Precision Fretless on those songs because Roger won’t/can’t play a fretless.
Yet , Dark Side of the Moon deals with a number of issues in a poetically metaphoric and quite essential way. I was in my early twenties when I bought everything they produced (soundtracks included) starting from the Wall (the introductory album). Your channel got me into King Crimson and the rest of the prog genre and I am Grateful Alive.
As a member of the "not so young" group, my tastes align with Prog Dad. Right down the line. So good. So fun. Thanks for all you guys do. I enjoy this very much. It makes me proud to see young people so informed, so inspired by music. Music has been my career and hobby for 42 years. I am thankful for you all and your awesome programme Niamh. I will not say that you and Yoan are a cute couple because that is embarrassing. You two are just cool! Ok question time. Are you and Yoan going to do any more record shopping vids? I thought that was fun to watch. Of course anytime you want to let Prog Dad talk about...well....anything, let him. Thanks for being such a great arbiter of great music. See you soon! Love to all!

Great setup with the three of you ranking the top 5 albums. Loved it. Made me jump up of the bed to play Meddle and all the others. 👍👍👍👍👍
Niamh, I agree 100 percent when you said you wish you could go back and listen to Pink Floyd again for the first time. I was 1980 when I discovered Floyd. I was 19 and a wonderful time to be alive because, to me, the world seem more peaceful and innocent back then, and it was when compared to nowadays. My mother's stereo record player had something wrong with it and would only play out of one speaker; so, I had to go to my grandmother's house to listen to Floyd in full wonderous stereo. My grandmother didn't understand my musical tastes, but she was more than happy to let me us her stereo because she got to see her grandson. It was a very magical, wonderful time for me. The world of possibilities was endless. Anyway, my top five are: 1- The Division Bell 2- A momentary Lapse of Reason 3- Wish You Were Here 4- Dark Side of the Moon 5- Meddle
Great video!!! Really enjoyed listening to everyone's choices, thanks!! When it comes to Pink Floyd, there are no bad choices. My list: 1) Animals (Gilmour just soars on this entire album) 2) Wish You Were Here 3) Dark Side of the Moon 4) Meddle 5) Obscured by Clouds (recent discovery---LOVE it!) Honorable Mentions: Saucerful of Secrets and Atom Heart Mother (you hear the embryo of the Gilmour style on the title track)
Very entertaining video guys! A lot of fun! Been listening to Pink Floyd since the mid 70s and it’s difficult to rank the albums because they are so good but I’ll try. 5 - A Momentary Lapse Of Reason 4 - The Wall 3 - Animals 2 - Dark Side Of The Moon 1 - Wish You Were Here
There are a few Pink Floyd albums I love (specifically the top three below) though not a big fan of all their discography: 1. Dark Side of the Moon 2. Wish You Were Here 3. The Piper at the Gates of Dawn 4. Meddle 5. The Division Bell

My album ranking of my Top 5 Pink Floyd Albums 1. Wish You Were Here 2. Meddle 3. The Dark Side of the Moon 4. Animals 5. The Division Bell Absolutely one of my favourite bands of all time and their discography is one of the best. There are other albums I would've put in my top 5 but the other albums that were not in my list are great stuff and my honourable mentions for me would be The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, Atom Heart Mother and The Wall. A lot of their albums have various characters and a massive mark of presentation and you definitely can't go wrong with how very beloved their worldwide acclaim was and always one of the best bands of variety and originality
Agree with Yoans comments re Wish You Were Here, especially the second half of Shine On You Crazy Diamond. WYWH is a Rick Wright tour de force. The most surreal element surrounding the LP was an unrecognisable Syd Barrett turning up at Abbey Road during the play back of Shine On. Incidentally it is the LP that almost never was. An uncut Shine On was to be partnered with You Got To Be Crazy and Raving and Drooling as the new album having already been toured live but the latter two tracks were dropped and reworked as Dogs and Sheep.
Cheers to all the Floyd fans out there. Kudos Niamh, Yoan seems like a cool dude. My Favs: 5. Meddle 4. The Wall 3. Wish you were here 2. Dark Side of the Moon 1. Animals Quick glimpse of our tribute band in Ecuador 2019: ruclips.net/video/Pn7TQxPAwk8/видео.html
My Top 5 Pink Floyd Albums are: 5. The Endless River 4. The Division Bell 3. Meddle 2. Animals 1. A Momentary Lapse of Reason Here’s my explanations: I chose the number 5 based on it really was a tribute to Richard Wright and his Genius. Number 4 I chose because that’s a great album. I chose number 3 because the sound is just great and I love that album. Number 2 is the newest album I own, I always wanted to own that one but never got around to it. When the chance arrived I jumped on it. And the number 1 album will always be my number 1 due to the fact that’s my first album I ever heard by the band. And the other reason why I love this album most is I heard it with my best friend in Germany and history with the album. Honorable mentions are The Wall and Dark Side of the moon. I do like all the Pink Floyd albums I heard. I hope you enjoyed my ranking of my favorite Pink Floyd albums.
Niamh’s dad mentioned Zabriskie Point. I guess not many of the - at least curent day - Floyd enthusiasts saw that movie, or More or La Vallee. Probably The Wall movie is most famous. I am not saying these movies are good, Zabriskie Point being the best of them. But to fully understand function of the music in those movies, one should see them.
I discovered PF by chance while on holiday with my parents in Cyprus. It turned out that our hotel had been double booked, so we had to take in a completely different hotel. There I got my own room and turned on the TV that had a Cypriot (probably European) version of MTV and there was a movie with four dudes that seemed nice but somewhat "weird" I thought, and then their talk was interrupted by the most amazing pieces of music I've heard. It was the movie Live at Pompeii. I then persuaded my brother that we would start collecting PF records and the first one became The Wall in a market here in Sweden. In the same town my uncle lived, and to my delight he had Wish you were here, so I put it on with headphones on and disappeared into another world. A whole new world of music that I'd never visited before. Just wonderful.
5. toss up Meddle or Atom Heart Mother 4. Dark Side of the Moon 3. The Wall 2. Wish You Were Here 1. Animals The early Floyd albums have their moments but the later stuff is all great. And I could put Division Bell in here but it's not really Pink Floyd, could call it the Gilmour, Wright, Mason Experience or something but it is really good and sounds more like Pink Floyd than Waters solo albums.
01. Dark Side of the Moon 02. Animals 03.Wish You Were Here 04. Umma Gumma 05. Meddle Honestly, DSotM & Animals are both equally my favorites for different reasons. I do like "almost" all of their LPs & do have them all. I am sick of "The Wall" and while it has some awesome songs & is a concept LP it just gets way too depressing for me & maybe that is due to watching the movie so many times when I was younger. Once Bob Geldof starts shaving his eyebrows I usually turn it off while trying to watch it in later years. "The Final Cut" still depressing and continues the "war" theme which was already old at this point. Some of the Saxophone solos on The Final Cut are very worthy but you can tell the band was done already by this point. "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn" & "Atom Heart Mother" are also excellent experimentally releases. I was just barely too young to see Pink Floyd during "The Wall" 1980 tour but they only played limited dates at two venues here in the US. I did get to see Roger Waters do "The Dark Side of the Moon" tour in 2006 where he played the album from start to finish in its entirety so I feel lucky I was able to see that tour & feel it was as close to seeing Pink Floyd as I will ever get. For their solo LPs "What God Wants" is fantastic especially with Jeff Beck playing on some tracks & Dave Gilmour's first solo LP with Mihalis is also an excellent LP. It is asham they could never set their differences aside & do more material together but it was never destined to happen again, unfortunately. The Pink Floyd LPs after Waters left are basically Gilmour's 3rd & 4th solo LPs to me & while I like a few songs (Marooned, Coming Back To Life, Signs Of Life, Sorrow) overall I find them boring. Roger Waters's last solo LP Is is The Life We Want?" Was absolutely disappointing & horrible. I get it that he was making a political statement but the music is just ... well not very interesting. In the 1960s & 1970s, they were one of the most creative bands around & wrote some of the best LPs of those decades. As a guitar player, I still play & learn (or try to) Dave's awesome solos which are epic & taught me a lot about how to approach doing leads/solos & his/their music will always be a major influence on me & my musical journey.
Wow! That is one really hard task! Honestly I wouldn't know which Pink Floyd album to pick as number one... But all the albums mentioned by you guys are absolutely mind-blowing... I would though place DSOTM among the 5. Just don't know where
1. DSOTM 2. WYWH 3. The Division Bell 4. The Wall 5. Obscured by Clouds Try as I may, I cannot develop a taste for Animals. I bought it the day it was released and didn't like it from the start. Have listened to it multiple times every year since to no avail. As a contrast, Division Bell also initially left me cold, but now I love it. Go figure
I agree with Prog Boyfriend and The Wall is the best pink floyd album i swear to god ,Animals and Wish You Were Here are also favourites of mine, I cant understand why Dark Side Of The Moon is the most popular and I still need to listen to all the other albums .Fly by ProgDad
Excellent video. Here’s my top 5: 1. Wish You Were Here 2. Animals 3. Obscured By Clouds 4. Meddle 5. Dark Side of the Moon However, it should be noted that I truly love the entire catalog, and that my top five is subject to change at any given moment! I consider myself lucky that I can enjoy, say, The Final Cut and then follow that right up with The Division Bell. Pink Floyd is definitely my favorite band of all time, and not only do I love the stuff that they did together, but also all of the solo stuff, too. For example, in my opinion, Rog’s Amused To Death ranks right up there with the best of them. Cheers!
Do you like is this the life we really want? I think it and amused are both brilliant albums. Floyd are easily my favourite band with the endless river being the only album of Floyd and solo works that I don’t like.
@@doscwolny2221 Yeah, I absolutely love Rog’s ‘Life.’ Just brilliant. So glad that I got to see him on tour for that album. As far as Endless River? I don’t hate it, and I do think there are some very nice moments on it-but, it’s just not a “proper album” in my opinion. I consider it a companion piece of TDB outtakes and other assorted items. So, for me, it has the same re-listenability factor as, say, unofficial albums like The Final Cut demos. It’s nice to listen to a couple of times, but, well... I don’t go back to it very often, to say the least.
@@doscwolny2221 I have to say, I’ve seen a lot of concerts, including Pink Floyd themselves, and Roger’s unveiling of the Battersea Power Station in that tour was one of the best effects I’ve EVER seen in a live music setting.
@@MrDuneedon yes I absolutely loved how the smoke stacks appeared. Animals is my favourite album of all time, but I’d still have to say Rogers wall show was my absolute fave and the wall album would be lucky to get into my top ten Floyd albums. That show was phenomenal and it annoys me to say but it was better than us and them(my wife loves the wall and she rubs it in my face)show. Irrespective those two and his dark side show are the best that I’ve ever seen.
1. The Wall 2. Atom Heart Mother 3. Wish You Were Here 4. Animals 5. The Final Cut (very underrated album) Not sure of the order. The first one is first forever, as for the rest, well... the order can change but these are my top 5 PF albums for sure.
Great conversation of three music lovers. Wish you were here is one of my favorite albums but i don’t like animals at all, i am dutch and don’t listen to the lyrics a lot, i have no idea what he is singing about, but most of all i don’t like that voice , the singing , at all, my favorite is ATOM HEART MOTHER, love the breakfast. grtz 🇳🇱
@@rubicon-oh9km i find it and wish you were here very boring repetetive albums, maybe its just me but it didnt really sell that much anyway for everyone to b hailing it as a masterpiece
I'm glad that your Dad mentioned Obscured by Clouds , as it is in my top 5 Pink Floyd list . Wot's..Uh the Deal is one of my favourite Floyd songs . As is San Tropez , which Yoan mentioned . This would be my top 5 ranking : Dark Side of the Moon : Any album with Time / Great Gig in the Sky , Us & Them , Any Colour You Like , and Brain Damage / Eclipse is tops in my book Wish You Were Here : the title track is one of my favourites The Wall : Nobody's Home , Comfortably Numb , One of My Turns , Hey You are all great . Obscured by Clouds : vastly underrated . along with Wots Uh the Deal , Stay, The Gold , and Childhood's End are favourites Meddle : great from start to finish . Cheers !!!
im stunned nobody picked piper at the gates of dawn for number one or two WOW!!!! i mean without that record there would not be another floyd,its still a benchmark for what was to come,my 2 nd would be saucerful of secrets,which when played reveals plenty of secrets of great psych sounds, atom heart mother would be my 3rd pick,full of surround sound fright movements in fact i saw that performed in a smallish auditorium and maybe 15-20 min into it some guy freaked out running screaming up the asile,my girlfriend and i just hugged eachother till he was removed ,crazy nite that was. To each his own ,i guess but bfor me some records are epic and changed things and piper was that album,im playing it now in mono LOVE IT,thanks for this review, boyfriends coolio. dad,i respect his tastes always and for you Niamh a great big😍💐
I'm very pro Atom Heart Mother album cover!! Bold, stark. Just makes you look at go - what? why? Anyways: 5. The Wall 4. Piper 3. Dark Side 2. Animals 1. Obscured By Clouds (most underrated album by anyone, ever)
Absolutely 100% agree about Obscured By Clouds being the most underrated/slept on album of all time by anyone. It cracks my top 5 at least some of the time as my top 5 Floyd albums list changes daily. lol There's no such thing as a "subpar" Pink Floyd album.
No DSOTM for any of you and still very good picks. You can't do it wrong with PF. My top 5: 1 Dark Side of the Moon 2 Wish you were here 3 Animals 4 The Wall 5 Atom Heart Mother
Full disclosure: Pink Floyd is my favorite band ever. I'm also drummer/lead vocalist for a Pink Floyd tribute band, so I've lived inside many of these songs, intimately, for a loooong time. Push comes to shove, it's Animals for me. Not only do I love listening to this album, but I love PLAYING it live for audiences. I study every single fill and nuance to capture what brilliance I can. Finally, Niamh, your family is soooo adorable! I could sit around and talk about Pink Floyd with you and your dad (and your friend) for hours. Anyway, you guys are so cool. Glad I found you.
Crazy difficult! They’re one of my favourite bands! Each album satisfies a different mood for me! But… 5) Wish you were here 4) Ummagumma 3) Atom heart mother 2) Saucer full of secrets 1) Piper at the gates of dawn
Yes, please have more Yoan on the channel! You work very well together (also I agree with him about the Atom Heart Mother cover :-) ). My favourites are Piper, Saucerful and Meddle, not sure what order.
1. Atom Heart Mother 2. The Piper at the Gates of Dawn 3. The Dark Side of the Moon 4. A Saucerful of Secrets 5. Meddle Saucerful has risen in the last couple years, since I have heard the tracks in Nick Mason's show.
My top 7 (I picked 7 because I'm not really crazy about any other Pink Floyd albums, so I thought I'd give my full list here): 7. Meddle 6. A Saucerful of Secrets 5. Ummagumma 4. Obscured by Clouds 3. The Dark Side of the Moon 2. Animals 1. Wish You Were Here
@@xsm5525 The Wall can kiss my ass. And since you appear to be a self-appointed "expert" on what constitutes a Pink Floyd fan, you can kiss it too. Sanctimonious twit.
Number 1 is easy, Wish You Were Here. Numbers 2 3 and 4 are really tied and they are Animals then Meddles and Dark Side of the Moon and we'll finish with The Wall
5. Wish You Were Here 4. Piper at the Gates of Dawn 3. Meddle 2. Obscured by Clouds 1. Dark Side of the Moon Honorable mention: Saucerful More Atom Heart Ummagumma
I love most of them but still it's a tough call,,, 5. Endless River 4. Animals 3. Dark Side Of The Moon 2. Wish You Were Here 1. THE WALL And amen! The cover of the cow album works dammit. I noticed no love for Obscured by Clouds or Piper or the Gilmour led albums. And the final cut? Oh,,, DARK SIDE??? Zabriskie Point is a good soundtrack. The Careful With That Axe 'copy' if you will, is called Come In Number 51. I liked Pig Meat on that one. Next, yer mum needs to come on to talk about U2 for us heathens.
i can remember buying Dark side second hand a few months after it was released,loved it,but it's the album that never went away,you never got a break from it in nearly 50 years.Since i grew up with The floyd thanks to my older sister,for me the 1967-73 era is the best,but i do like wish you were here and animals as well,but the wall never appealed to me
I was a little late to the Pink Floyd party. Growing up in the 70’s most of my listening was fm radio. My first “Floyd” memories are all off, “Dark Side of the Moon”. That being said, my first album purchase was, “Animals”. As far as a top five list, I can’t make one. I’ve since collected almost all of their catalogue. Any could make my top five given my mood on any specific day.
It is very hard to choose a PINK FLOYD favorite album ( or song) because on all albums there are songs I prefer better, for example on the album MORE there are some songs I love so much like CIRRUS MINOR and THE NILE SONG and CYMBALINE.., and on OBSCURED BY CLOUDS mostly every song is good on that album, and on MEDDLE also I think I like the "old'PINK FLOYD the most.., but I must say I like WISH YOU WHER HERE and ANIMALS the best of all.. thank you guys for bringing back alive THE PINK FLOYD
Dark Side of the Moon, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, Wish You Were Here, A Saucerful of Secrets, Obscured By Clouds. More would be better if the tracks were re-sequenced and the instrumentals were integrated into the songs-its not as if they didn't know how rather than just tossing them in.

Niamh’s dad mentioned Zabriskie Point. I guess not many of the - at least curent day - Floyd enthusiasts saw that movie, or More or La Vallee. Probably The Wall movie is most famous. I am not saying these movies are good, Zabriskie Point being the best of them. But to fully understand function of the music in those movies, one should see them.
Zabriskie Point was interesting.
I discovered PF by chance while on holiday with my parents in Cyprus. It turned out that our hotel had been double booked, so we had to take in a completely different hotel. There I got my own room and turned on the TV that had a Cypriot (probably European) version of MTV and there was a movie with four dudes that seemed nice but somewhat "weird" I thought, and then their talk was interrupted by the most amazing pieces of music I've heard. It was the movie Live at Pompeii. I then persuaded my brother that we would start collecting PF records and the first one became The Wall in a market here in Sweden. In the same town my uncle lived, and to my delight he had Wish you were here, so I put it on with headphones on and disappeared into another world. A whole new world of music that I'd never visited before. Just wonderful.
5. toss up Meddle or Atom Heart Mother 4. Dark Side of the Moon 3. The Wall 2. Wish You Were Here 1. Animals The early Floyd albums have their moments but the later stuff is all great. And I could put Division Bell in here but it's not really Pink Floyd, could call it the Gilmour, Wright, Mason Experience or something but it is really good and sounds more like Pink Floyd than Waters solo albums.

Honestly, DSotM & Animals are both equally my favorites for different reasons. I do like "almost" all of their LPs & do have them all. I am sick of "The Wall" and while it has some awesome songs & is a concept LP it just gets way too depressing for me & maybe that is due to watching the movie so many times when I was younger. Once Bob Geldof starts shaving his eyebrows I usually turn it off while trying to watch it in later years. "The Final Cut" still depressing and continues the "war" theme which was already old at this point. Some of the Saxophone solos on The Final Cut are very worthy but you can tell the band was done already by this point. "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn" & "Atom Heart Mother" are also excellent experimentally releases. I was just barely too young to see Pink Floyd during "The Wall" 1980 tour but they only played limited dates at two venues here in the US. I did get to see Roger Waters do "The Dark Side of the Moon" tour in 2006 where he played the album from start to finish in its entirety so I feel lucky I was able to see that tour & feel it was as close to seeing Pink Floyd as I will ever get. For their solo LPs "What God Wants" is fantastic especially with Jeff Beck playing on some tracks & Dave Gilmour's first solo LP with Mihalis is also an excellent LP. It is asham they could never set their differences aside & do more material together but it was never destined to happen again, unfortunately. The Pink Floyd LPs after Waters left are basically Gilmour's 3rd & 4th solo LPs to me & while I like a few songs (Marooned, Coming Back To Life, Signs Of Life, Sorrow) overall I find them boring. Roger Waters's last solo LP Is is The Life We Want?" Was absolutely disappointing & horrible. I get it that he was making a political statement but the music is just ... well not very interesting. In the 1960s & 1970s, they were one of the most creative bands around & wrote some of the best LPs of those decades. As a guitar player, I still play & learn (or try to) Dave's awesome solos which are epic & taught me a lot about how to approach doing leads/solos & his/their music will always be a major influence on me & my musical journey.
1st album dark side , set the standard for the rest of my musical life . still love it
right on
Wish you were here number one record of my life
The Final Cut and Animals are the best for me !!!!
Wow! That is one really hard task! Honestly I wouldn't know which Pink Floyd album to pick as number one... But all the albums mentioned by you guys are absolutely mind-blowing... I would though place DSOTM among the 5. Just don't know where
pop it just aint the same with no g.d. t-shirt, always glad when yoan participates
1. DSOTM
2. WYWH
3. The Division Bell
4. The Wall
5. Obscured by Clouds
Try as I may, I cannot develop a taste for Animals. I bought it the day it was released and didn't like it from the start. Have listened to it multiple times every year since to no avail. As a contrast, Division Bell also initially left me cold, but now I love it. Go figure
1. Meddle
2. Dark side of the moon
3. The Wall
4. The Piper at the gates of dawn
5. Obscured by clouds
I agree with Prog Boyfriend and The Wall is the best pink floyd album i swear to god ,Animals and Wish You Were Here are also favourites of mine, I cant understand why Dark Side Of The Moon is the most popular and I still need to listen to all the other albums .Fly by ProgDad
Meddle or Animals. I can't pick my favorite; it's impossible.
1 - Wish You Were Here
2 - Animals
3 - The Division Bell
4 - Meddle
5 - The Dark Side of the Moon
Excellent video. Here’s my top 5:
1. Wish You Were Here
2. Animals
3. Obscured By Clouds
4. Meddle
5. Dark Side of the Moon
However, it should be noted that I truly love the entire catalog, and that my top five is subject to change at any given moment! I consider myself lucky that I can enjoy, say, The Final Cut and then follow that right up with The Division Bell. Pink Floyd is definitely my favorite band of all time, and not only do I love the stuff that they did together, but also all of the solo stuff, too. For example, in my opinion, Rog’s Amused To Death ranks right up there with the best of them.
Cheers!
Do you like is this the life we really want? I think it and amused are both brilliant albums. Floyd are easily my favourite band with the endless river being the only album of Floyd and solo works that I don’t like.
@@doscwolny2221 Yeah, I absolutely love Rog’s ‘Life.’ Just brilliant. So glad that I got to see him on tour for that album. As far as Endless River? I don’t hate it, and I do think there are some very nice moments on it-but, it’s just not a “proper album” in my opinion. I consider it a companion piece of TDB outtakes and other assorted items. So, for me, it has the same re-listenability factor as, say, unofficial albums like The Final Cut demos. It’s nice to listen to a couple of times, but, well... I don’t go back to it very often, to say the least.
@@MrDuneedonyeah I got to see that show as well. Just like the other two times I’ve seen his show it was brilliant.
@@doscwolny2221 I have to say, I’ve seen a lot of concerts, including Pink Floyd themselves, and Roger’s unveiling of the Battersea Power Station in that tour was one of the best effects I’ve EVER seen in a live music setting.
@@MrDuneedon yes I absolutely loved how the smoke stacks appeared. Animals is my favourite album of all time, but I’d still have to say Rogers wall show was my absolute fave and the wall album would be lucky to get into my top ten Floyd albums. That show was phenomenal and it annoys me to say but it was better than us and them(my wife loves the wall and she rubs it in my face)show. Irrespective those two and his dark side show are the best that I’ve ever seen.
Great video. I always thought that if was the first pink floyd song that discussed Syds mental decline.
Spot on
1. The Wall
2. Atom Heart Mother
3. Wish You Were Here
4. Animals
5. The Final Cut (very underrated album)
Not sure of the order. The first one is first forever, as for the rest, well... the order can change but these are my top 5 PF albums for sure.
Piper at the gates of dawn is the best Pink Floyd album. Honestly the greatest album ever made
Great conversation of three music lovers. Wish you were here is one of my favorite albums but i don’t like animals at all, i am dutch and don’t listen to the lyrics a lot, i have no idea what he is singing about, but most of all i don’t like that voice , the singing , at all, my favorite is ATOM HEART MOTHER, love the breakfast. grtz 🇳🇱
1 dark side
2 the wall
3 meddle
4 the final cut, people will disagree here but much better than gilmour lead weak efforts that followed
5 atom heart
Animals not even in your top 5? How's that even possible mate?
@@rubicon-oh9km i find it and wish you were here very boring repetetive albums, maybe its just me but it didnt really sell that much anyway for everyone to b hailing it as a masterpiece
@@aidenswords5809 Since when do album sales equate to quality???
@TheCDLovingKiwi one can argue that the follow ups are gilmour solo albums, indeed not even as good as his about face album which i actually like
Great video as usual my top five would be
1. Wish you were here
2. The dark side of the moon
3. Animals
4. Ummagumma
5. The Wall
How cool, nice people, Floyd lovers. Really enjoyed, cheers from Adelaide Australia.
It's good fun to see how varied each of your picks are--I can't disagree with any of the choices as their discography is just that rich!
1. Wish You Were Here
2. The Wall
3. Piper at the Gates of Dawn
4. Division Bell
5. Dark Side of the Moon
I'm glad that your Dad mentioned Obscured by Clouds , as it is in my top 5 Pink Floyd list . Wot's..Uh the Deal is one of my favourite Floyd songs . As is San Tropez , which Yoan mentioned . This would be my top 5 ranking :
Dark Side of the Moon : Any album with Time / Great Gig in the Sky , Us & Them , Any Colour You Like , and Brain Damage / Eclipse is tops in my book
Wish You Were Here : the title track is one of my favourites
The Wall : Nobody's Home , Comfortably Numb , One of My Turns , Hey You are all great .
Obscured by Clouds : vastly underrated . along with Wots Uh the Deal , Stay, The Gold , and Childhood's End are favourites
Meddle : great from start to finish .
Cheers !!!
im stunned nobody picked piper at the gates of dawn for number one or two WOW!!!! i mean without that record there would not be another floyd,its still a benchmark for what was to come,my 2 nd would be saucerful of secrets,which when played reveals plenty of secrets of great psych sounds, atom heart mother would be my 3rd pick,full of surround sound fright movements in fact i saw that performed in a smallish auditorium and maybe 15-20 min into it some guy freaked out running screaming up the asile,my girlfriend and i just hugged eachother till he was removed ,crazy nite that was. To each his own ,i guess but bfor me some records are epic and changed things and piper was that album,im playing it now in mono LOVE IT,thanks for this review, boyfriends coolio. dad,i respect his tastes always and for you Niamh a great big😍💐
I picked Piper number one 👌

Anyways:

1. Obscured By Clouds (most underrated album by anyone, ever)
Absolutely 100% agree about Obscured By Clouds being the most underrated/slept on album of all time by anyone. It cracks my top 5 at least some of the time as my top 5 Floyd albums list changes daily. lol There's no such thing as a "subpar" Pink Floyd album.
My top 5:
5. Meddle
4. The Wall
3. Wish You Were Here
2. Dark Side Of The Moon
1. Animals
No DSOTM for any of you and still very good picks. You can't do it wrong with PF.
My top 5:
1 Dark Side of the Moon
2 Wish you were here
3 Animals
4 The Wall
5 Atom Heart Mother
Full disclosure: Pink Floyd is my favorite band ever. I'm also drummer/lead vocalist for a Pink Floyd tribute band, so I've lived inside many of these songs, intimately, for a loooong time. Push comes to shove, it's Animals for me. Not only do I love listening to this album, but I love PLAYING it live for audiences. I study every single fill and nuance to capture what brilliance I can. Finally, Niamh, your family is soooo adorable! I could sit around and talk about Pink Floyd with you and your dad (and your friend) for hours. Anyway, you guys are so cool. Glad I found you.
Crazy difficult! They’re one of my favourite bands! Each album satisfies a different mood for me! But…

Number 1 is a tie between Animals and Wish You Were Here but I do find my self coming back to Wish You Were Here they are both phenomenal
My top 7 (I picked 7 because I'm not really crazy about any other Pink Floyd albums, so I thought I'd give my full list here):
7. Meddle
6. A Saucerful of Secrets
5. Ummagumma
4. Obscured by Clouds
3. The Dark Side of the Moon
2. Animals
1. Wish You Were Here
not having the Wall in your TOP SEVEN, you have failed as a pink floyd fan.
@@xsm5525 The Wall can kiss my ass. And since you appear to be a self-appointed "expert" on what constitutes a Pink Floyd fan, you can kiss it too. Sanctimonious twit.
Number 1 is easy, Wish You Were Here. Numbers 2 3 and 4 are really tied and they are Animals then Meddles and Dark Side of the Moon and we'll finish with The Wall
I enjoyed that. I’d like to see the three of you doing the same ranking your top 5 Genesis albums.
5. Wish You Were Here

1. THE WALL
And amen! The cover of the cow album works dammit.
I noticed no love for Obscured by Clouds or Piper or the Gilmour led albums. And the final cut?
Oh,,, DARK SIDE???
Zabriskie Point is a good soundtrack. The Careful With That Axe 'copy' if you will, is called Come In Number 51. I liked Pig Meat on that one.
Next, yer mum needs to come on to talk about U2 for us heathens.
My number 1 album is Wish You Were Here, track is Sheep, now revisiting Atom Heart Mother after a long time thanks to you. Love your vids xxx
1 Wish you were here, 2 Dark Side of the Moon, 3 Animals, 4, Meddle, 5 The Wall
i can remember buying Dark side second hand a few months after it was released,loved it,but it's the album that never went away,you never got a break from it in nearly 50 years.Since i grew up with The floyd thanks to my older sister,for me the 1967-73 era is the best,but i do like wish you were here and animals as well,but the wall never appealed to me
1 Dark Side of the Moon
2 Wish You Were Here
3 Meddle
4 Animals
5 Piper At The Gates Of Dawn
my top 5 ..Dark Side ...Wish ...Division Bell...The Wall...Animals
I was a little late to the Pink Floyd party. Growing up in the 70’s most of my listening was fm radio. My first “Floyd” memories are all off, “Dark Side of the Moon”. That being said, my first album purchase was, “Animals”. As far as a top five list, I can’t make one. I’ve since collected almost all of their catalogue. Any could make my top five given my mood on any specific day.
5. Meddle 4. Wish You Were Here 3. The Wall 2. Dark Side of the Moon 1. Animals. Innit?
So difficult because they are all so good, My 5 are
1. Dark side of the moon
2. Wish you were here
3. The Wall
4. Animals
5. The Division bell
I may join cover band in Singapore "I'm not afraid of dying, anytime will do ". I have the accent so I think they are interested
DSOTM
A Nice Pair (Piper at the Gates Of Dawn and Saucerful of Secrets)
Ummagumma
Meddle
Tie: "More" Soundtrack, Obscured in Clouds
It is very hard to choose a PINK FLOYD favorite album ( or song) because on all albums there are songs I prefer better, for example on the album MORE there are some songs I love so much like CIRRUS MINOR and THE NILE SONG and CYMBALINE.., and on OBSCURED BY CLOUDS mostly every song is good on that album, and on MEDDLE also
I think I like the "old'PINK FLOYD the most.., but I must say I like WISH YOU WHER HERE and ANIMALS the best of all.. thank you guys for bringing back alive THE PINK FLOYD
1 Dark Side, 2 Wish You Were Here, 3 Piper, 4 Meddle, 5 Atom Heart Mother, 6 Saucerful, 7 More, 8 Obscured by Clouds
respectful discussion, very engaging
1 Atom Heart Mother
2 Meddle
3 Wish You Were Here
4 Saucerful of Secrets
5 Relics
If Relics is an illegal pick id go Piper
Absolutely first time I have done a list. 1 Dark side of the Moon.
2 Wish you were Here.
3 Animals
4 Atom Heart Mother
5 Meddle
Dark Side of the Moon, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, Wish You Were Here, A Saucerful of Secrets, Obscured By Clouds. More would be better if the tracks were re-sequenced and the instrumentals were integrated into the songs-its not as if they didn't know how rather than just tossing them in.
Nick Masons Saucerful of Secrets are well worth seeing
Love the video keep up the great work
