WARNING. There are a couple mistakes in this video (mistakes that I am quite embarrassed about). I mispronounce a couple words AND, most notably, I call one of Pink Floyd’s early band names “The Screaming ARABS,” when it is in fact called “The Screaming ABDABS.”
Good video! I'm 45 and it's so interesting how priorities on all PF albums change with years. They shuffle, go back and forth :D... I did not consider to be The Wall really great (although knew it by heart) up until the mid 30s. My perception of life changed along with the album. Don't agree with "More" - wonderful, mysterious, otherworldly, no indication of commercialism (as I feel one in the Dark Side of the Moon). Agree with Animals - it took me some time to feel it as well. Anyways, nice work!
"See-miss" was the only one I noticed. Seamus - that's the dog - is pronounced Shay-mus. Great video though, and other than some minor quibbles with comments on the Gilmour era (I mostly agree, but I think the Division Bell is a great album, just not a great Floyd album, and I enjoy listening to it regularly) I think you nailed it. Especially with the love for Meddle and Animals. This is turning into a classic youtube "I agree with you, so you are right" comment! ;) Anyway, loved your work here.
I would argue that the most glaring error is calling Saucerful Of Secrets an album led by Syd Barrett, when he only wrote one of the songs and doesn't play on most of the album.....but I didn't get any farther into the video than that, so maybe there are more glaring errors ahead?
How dare you not put my albums first lol. Everyone knows master of puppets is the best Pink Floyd album and you didn’t even talk about the best song in it, wonderwall
"You never want to over listen to a Pink Floyd album." Meanwhile, I listen to The Wall daily and I still find the album enjoyable. It has been months of this Edit: It's been over a year of this
I think it’s unfortunate that Dark Side gets ragged on for being “the popular one”, but I mean there’s good reason why. The Wall, Wish You Were Here, Animals, they’ve all done great stuff and had something powerful to walk away with. But Dark Side is just so haunting, an absolute masterclass of how to do a concept album.
Dark Side shouldn't get ragged on. It is literally the first exposure for most people....and if they like it...they will start digging...and find a catalog of music that will blow their minds. Animals is by far the best concise album in my useless opinion...who cares? Pink Floyd kicks ass.
Yep. It was also the apex of Progressive Rock, the ultimate studio album and a regular sound system tester, at the time when they were private PA beasts. Alan Parsons made a musical career of some sort out of engineering this particular album.
Animals is my favorite Pink Floyd album but you explained why Dark Side was number 1 so well. Everyone expects your favorite album to be something obscure or not as well known if you’re a “true fan” but Dark Side is so famous and praised for a reason and it is the best Pink Floyd album.
I personally feel dark side of the moon and animals are both my favourites certainly their most consistent musically, Dark side of the moon I feel like I’m just gliding right through but not in a boring way and Animals is bad ass and melancholic as fuck🔥🤘
Yeah but I'd rather listen to Animals like you, I assume. I love Floyd so much that I needed a Floyd tattoo and the only thing I can think of was the Dark Side prism.
Really glad to see Meddle getting the appreciation it deserves. Echoes has got to be the greatest creation a sentient being has ever realized in all of space and time from nothingness to eternity.
@Thomas Thornton I liked the 'other' song better: *"One of these days I'm going to c..t you into little pieces!"* THAT was the true intro for what was to come. (DSOTM) - Dave B.
The Ummagumma "Careful With That Axe Eugene" made me a hit in my art class, back in 85'. We had this assignment to do a picture of a song choice, that would be played over a display of our art work. I went with "Eugene" and made this tripped out depiction of an acid head's nightmare, with a guy who looked like a worm, screaming, with bleached white hair. I tried to do it like a Peter Max thing over a shocking pink background, I told my teacher, to time it a bit before the scream. After many of the pics were displayed, the class was getting pretty much bored, until mine came up, the eerie music and sounds lulling the people into uncertainty, I could hear whispers from people wondering what's was going to happen, heh, and then that SCREAM! Floyd and me were a hit!
Ummagumma is the favorite album of the "I am a deep Pink Floyd Head" Its a master piece to be sure. As will everything they put out aside from Division Bell. Animals is my all time fav...followed by Atom Heart Mother, Saucer Full of Secrets, and of course...Live at Pompeii.
Division bell is my personal best. I like the sensitive, human and feminin twist we don't find in the golden age albums. As you mention, pinkfloyd usually as ''the society is bad+solos'' strucutre, while the messages of this albums cover a wider set of human experiences from wander to anger to sadness and to hope. I like the slide guitar solos of High hopes, the distorted voices in keep talking , solo-long marooned, female back vocals, the slow start Dreamy Cluster One. In all sincerity, I can't understand how you would think this is a pale copy of older pink floyd. Of course, you won't find the ''waters'' pink floyd in it, but the rest of the band is still there!
I love this album, still I like The Dark Side and Wish You Were Here more but it's definitely in my top 3. Better album created only by David than mostly by Roger for me.
For me Pink Floyd is one of the few bands that have 2 perfect albums. Wish You Were Here and Dark Side Of The Moon. I personally prefer Wish You Were Here,cause it means more to me on a personal level and has a more intimate feeling,but Dark Side is equally a masterpiece
@@xsm5525 I'm sorry, but when you get platinum sales 14 times over, it's not really a choice as to whether the album is a masterpiece or not. It's like arguing David isn't Michaelangelo's masterpiece
DSOTM has always been one of those "perfect albums" to me. Each song is an expertly crafted experience that all stand strong on their own, but when placed together they go completely over the top. It has the deeply intricate music theory and production to make music nerds go wild while having a mild pop edge that makes it super accessible to general audiences. It truly is one of the greatest albums of all time
The Division Bell is my personal favourite Pink Floyd album. ‘Poles Apart’ is one of my absolute favourite songs and there are some other great songs such as ‘Coming Back To Life’ and ‘High Hopes’. I also really like the A Momentary Lapse Of Reason album.
I agree! I got into Pink Floyd later in life around my 30’s. I’m 52 now and I have every Pink Floyd album, but gravitate back to Momentary and Division bell. On the turning away, and Sorrow are absolutely classics that I can listen to over and over and not get bored….. When I tell people those are my two favorite albums & Songs I get told I’m not a real Floyd fan or must hate Roger Waters! It’s all subjective, and there is no wrong answer. We like what we like!
Poles Apart is my favorite song on the album too. Surprisingly, most people don't seem to mention it. I'm not the biggest fan of a Momentary Lapse of Reason but I would maybe put the Division Bell as their # 5 best album. I think it is really good.
@Kitty _gurl And beside that it is fucking incredible musically. I still do ambient guitars loops with the pocking and solo of lost for words after all these years. And high hopes is still my fav song of all time, especially pulse. I still get shivers down my spine with the final vocoder sound at keep talking (after the drum ends the wah ish sound).
That review of the Division Bell was borderline criminal. So many legendary songs in it. If you don't feel emotion when listening to High Hopes, you are as good as dead.
There's several brilliant songs on it, and there's some very un Floyd like rubbish on it to me When it's good its very good , and when it's not..... That's what I reckon.
@@paarthibannadimuthu2666 I like it for the opposite reason, I think it would have made a really spooky midieval folk song. But the lyrics are pretty good here too.
I always find it amusing that they kicked out syd for going crazy but that roger went pretty crazy himself (in a different sense) causing way more damage than syd ever did.
Uh, you call making money for them 'damage'? Roger was certainly performing and writing. Whatever crazy Roger did got them some of the best songs of the century. And then he left, you don't get better than that, they played his songs and made more money, while he collects more royalties but certainly never got any commercial success. Although I personally like Radio KAOS and Amused to Death more than several Pink Floyd albums.
Holy crap this video is very straight to the point and has a lot of context, the visuals are amazing this was very well edited and the script is gold. Most videos like this are kind of critical and not no where near as creative. Criminally Underrated Channel!
"Number 15, the Endless River ..." ok thank god More isn't at the bottom "Number 14, M-" No! No No No No No! More has at least 2 really good songs (Green is the Color, Ibiza Bar) one _great_ song (Cymbaline) a handful of other songs that are good (Cirrus Minor, More Blues (even if its just a tasty little jam), The Nile Song, and Crying Song) and _just_ enough random, weird, borderline unlistenable stuff to fit perfectly with the rest of Pink Floyd albums with more than 7 songs on them. It is truly an integral part of the Pink Floyd catalog, and I will die on that hill dammit!

Lol @ "San Tro-pess & See-muss" dawg, have you heard these songs? Also, I don't know who's duty it'll be, but a video solely on the Atom Heart Mother title track must be made. THAT is my personal PF masterpiece. The partnership w/ Ron Geesin is the finest in art rock history. Each section brings its own flavor and it's incredibly immersive. The choral and brass work is so inventive and it also contains my favorite DG guitar moment of that era.
Obscured by Clouds is probably my favorite Pink Floyd album. So many great songs on it. Certainly sound like it was written around the time of Dark Side of the Moon.
Actually, my personal favorite Pink Floyd song, has to be The Great Gig In The Sky. The song always gives me goosebumps, and also wants you to sing with the vocal even how bad your singing is.

People can try and say Dark Side isn't their greatest album, and I may actually like Animals and Wish You Were Here better sometimes, but even the Billboard charts couldn't deny its greatness...it was on the Top 200 Albums chart for 736 consecutive weeks, a record which I'm pretty sure will never be broken.
@@BLACKMETAL9224 I kind of think it is. Just go look at all the 'number ones' and usually there is good marketing behind them. There are TONS of people who will say their favourite album is Dark Side, but of Pink Floyd fans almost ANY album will be listed as a best, usually NOT Dark Side, as this commenter says. And McDonalds is an anomaly in the restaurant business. They just also happen to sell shitty food. So its not the fact of 'quality' that makes number one, usually its not. "Cats" has run longer and made more money and has been seen by more people than Les Miz, but you'd be hard pressed to find people to argue that it is qualitatively 'better'. Thats hard enough to do with a commercial, artistic endevour. Is Banksy 'better art' because he gets more press and more people know his work? Justin Biebers new album will likely outsell Dark Side, does that make it 'better'? I'd argue not.
I tell people Dark Side is the greatest album of all time, and at the same time also not my favorite of theirs. If they're a Pink Floyd fan, they usually get what I mean, and if not they tend to have a puzzle look
I liked it far more than Division bell, it was quite original. And apart from two tracks it was horribly depressing, just like Rogers would have liked it. Between the angst of Radio KAOS and MLOR, Pink Floyd was a far better soundtrack to the eighties than most of hte crappy pop pap.
The Wall is my personal favorite album from the band. Because it's just a masterpiece to me. The songs are an absolute treasure to me. Another Brick In The Wall part 2 was my first introduction to the band. I love the songs. I love and I mean LOVE the 1982 movie. I love how Alan Parker did this extremely weird and gorgeous movie. Bob Geldof was perfect for the role. The 1980/81 shows are cool. And it's just a great album. And yeah it sucks to know what happened behind the scenes during the recording sessions. But I love The Wall. And A Saucerful Of Secrets Jugband Blues, God that's a great song
me too,my favorite album along with dark side.....and my absolute favorite song of PF is SHEEP.......The album "wish you were here"which is so often listed first never caught me....l don't know why,but l don't like it
Shine on you crazy diamond is the best Pink Floyd song Sincerely, this is difficult to affirm not hearing the song, it’s so magic that you can’t remember all the emotion of it
I never knew an album ranking video could be so entertaining! Amazing job and I agree with the ranking completely, I wish you included Zabriskie Point however

My little brother and I love your RUclips channel especially your Beatles content! I feel like you are one of the most underrated RUclipsrs and deserve more subs. Anyway if possible, Id like to see a video of The Beatles solo albums from worst to best. Thanks
For me: 5) The Wall 4) Meddle 3) Animals 2) Wish You Were Here 1) Dark Side of the Moon I agree with all you said except saying that “On The Run” is just okay. It’s an AMAZING seque track that is so unique in the use of the sequenced synth (Synthi VCS AKS and VCS3). The use of this synth and the folley effects provide an insane build and release of tension. YMMV
Wasn’t Pink Floyd’s golden age everything from _A Saucerful of Secrets_ to _Obscured by Clouds_ ? Those and the Barrett albums are what I always find myself going back to.
I think definitionally speaking the DSOTM-Wall period is the golden age, just on sales and success alone as the term would suggest. However the albums you refer to definitely fit a different palate and niche many obviously love.
Great list watermelon here's mine: 15 More 14 Ummagumma 13 The Endless River 12 A Momentary Lapse Of Reason 11 The Final Cut 10 The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn 9 The Division Bell 8 Atom Heart Mother 7 The Dark Side Of The Moon 6 Meddle 5 The Wall 4 Wish You Were Here 3 A Saucerful Of Secrets 2 Obscured By Clouds 1 Animals
Obscured by clouds in second? lol that was recorded in 8 days for the film Lá Vallé, it has a good songs but is a weak album, to be honest I prefer the Music from the film More then OBC, but that´s your list and I respect that, it´s just strange.
1. Piper At The Gates Of Dawn 2. Wish You Were Here 3. The Wall 4. Dark Side Of The Moon 5. The Early Singles (non-album) 6. Obscured By Clouds 7. Animals 8. Meddle 9. Atom Heart Mother 10. Ummagumma (studio) 11. Saucerful Of Secrets 12. More 13. The Final Cut 14. Momentary Lapse Of Reason 15. The Division Bell 16. The Endless River I think The Early Singles may as well be counted as an album in its own right as it is about a full length album’s worth of songs, with all but one track never having been released on any album I believe, and has some really incredible stuff on it, mostly from their Syd and post-Syd psychedelic period.
@@arnuuma1802 and I salute you back! There was nothing quite like it before hand, and nothing quite like it afterwards. It stands alone, iconic, as a testament not just to the brilliant mind of an artist, but also to the power of imagination and its ability to knock down or transcend barriers such as music, or storytelling, or even art itself. And this album stands tall in this regard. A truly unique masterpiece which reminds us that all things are sublimated to the enormous power of fearless imagination.
1:30 "Syd Barrett was kicked out of the band, for some crazy reason, because it turned out having a psycho as a band member was not healthy for the band dynamic." According to you, Syd Barrett was nothing more than a psycho. What a great way to honor his name dude!!!! Way to give credit to the person responsible for the band's name and success in the early years of Pink Floyd. I don't know if you meant your statement in the way that I am perceiving it, but what you said is not fair in any way to someone who was most likely and assumed to be suffering from schizophrenia. I understand that this is not the point of the video. The purpose of your video was to share thoughts on Pink Floyd's albums, and you were just trying to give a preface by giving a description of the band in the start of the video so you might have not put those words into much consideration. No one looking for the ranking of the albums is searching for a detailed history of the band members of Pink Floyd. I skimmed through the comments, trying to see if anyone had addressed this issue with your video, and it seems not. I guess this isn't much of a pressing issue then, and your video has been up for over a year. I hope you could understand how awfully you put this statement. You say this as if Syd Barrett had control over his mental state by doing drugs. The amount of psychedelic drugs he was doing at the time was not odd, especially for the industry he was in. Obviously, that doesn't make the usage okay. He was an addict, who already most likely had mental illnesses. You mention him doing drugs and then just suddenly becoming a "psycho." That is not how it works. Like I said, he most likely had mental illnesses prior to joining the band and doing drugs. If I am remembering correctly, Syd Barretts father passed years prior to his joining of the band. Syd experienced pain and suffering in his life as every person does. He began to play guitar as an outlet for that. He probably started using psychedelics as an outlet to his suffering as well.. Syd's usage led his mental state to worsen, if you have ever watched interviews of the members talking about Syd, you will hear them explain how he acted. It wasn't that he was ignoring his job as a band member, he was suffering and wasn't able to keep his mind on his job and on the task of playing in the band. None of what happened to him was his fault, and he doesn't deserve to be labeled simply as a "psycho" who had to get kicked out of the band because he was a bother. From the time of Pink Floyd psychedelic era up until his death in 2006, he had to live with his mental illness. It's so sad how not-serious some people take mental illness. Syd Barrett deserves better!!!
Ummagumma was a weird concept. It was one live album and an album of solo EPs. Each band member went off on their own to write enough music for half of an album side. Other band members had little to no input on each other’s tracks. Richard gave us the Sisyphus suite. Roger penned Grantchester Meadows and Several Species, Dave gave us The Narrow Way, and Nick gave us The Grand Vizier’s Garden Party. Yeah. They were a LOT better together than separately at this point in their careers.
Coming back to this, ngl this is your best video imo. Best comedy, production, delivery and really entertaining explanations and opinions presented. This man does not miss 😤
His placing of the division bell is very wrong the division bell is the swan song Pink Floyd album and one of there best how dose he not have any emotion listening to high hopes.
The Revision Hell ( sic ) is a disaster piece. Wake me up when it is over zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. PF should have called it quits after "the Final Cut". DG cannot write interesting concept albums that are good like " Amused to death".. The Endless River of shyte was so bad and boring it was not even useful for clearing people out of your house when the party has gone on too late and too long.The Wall was mainly RW on his own trip. "Animals" is probably the best PF record of all time.AMLOR was a total stinker.I like MORE.
The Final Cut is extremely lacking in the bandship they used to have. It's literally just a Roger Waters solo project.I have not been more disappointed by a Pink Floyd album before lol.

This is such a great video! I love the animations, but the best part is how succinct you are. You fit so much info in an 18 minute video without it ever rambling, it's awesome! Also, big props for choosing Dark Side as your #1 album. I know a lot of the Pink Floyd fandom tends to treat Dark Side as babies-first-Floyd, but that's only because the album is so good they themselves listened to it 2x more than any reasonable person should. And they only listened to it that much because the album is great. Dark Side is popular for a reason, and I feel like more people should acknowledge it. That being said, my personal #1 has to be Piper at the Gates of Dawn. I love the golden period albums, particularly the first 3, but they're so influential that I've ended up finding other, similar albums that just slightly meet my tastes better. Meanwhile, I've still yet to find another album that sounds like Piper, nevermind one as good as it is front-to-back. Piper is just fun! What other album has a 10 minute space rock epic, a surf rock jam about a cat named Lucifer, and dramatic finale about a kid's fancy bike and his pet mouse Gerald. Piper is diverse, but every song feels caught between the childlike whimsy of the lyrics and creeping menace of instrumental. It's just such a good album to me.
Personally I feel that Hipsters going 'Oh no Dark Side is Overrated!!' has in turn caused albums like Wish you Were Here to actually become overrated.' Similar thing with Sergent Pepper's and Revolver.
@@iSkully99 rubber soul and meddle are my favourites from both bands, 2 albums don't recieve the plaudits of the albums that followed but are equally as good it's pretty apt to make that correlation.
dark side is undoubtedly the most iconic but tbh with you i could never make a video like this because the top 5 albums are constantly fighting for their order in my head to the point where which one is my favorite literally changes daily. it's a nice testament to how good all of them are.
My list: 1 - The Wall 1979 2 - Wish you were here 1975 3 - Atom Heart Mother 1970-72 4 - Medley 1971 5 - Animals 1977 6 - The Dark Side of the moon 1973 7 - Ummagumma 1969 8 - The Division Bell 1993 9 - Final Cut 1983 10 - A momentary lapse of reason 1987 11 - Saucerful of secrets 1968 12 - The pipers at the gate at down 1967 13 - Obscured by clouds 1972 14 - More 1968
The final cut is a concept album. I believe it is supposed to be taken as one entire song which would explain why all the songs sound similar. I hold this album in the top 3. The gunners dream is probably one of the most beautifully written songs I've ever heard.
I would also upgrade it from place 9, maybe even to top 3, although you can't make a top 3 with Pink Floyd, maybe a top 5. The Gunners Dream is one of my favourite songs.
I have to say in my personal opinion The Wall is Pink Floyd's magnum opus. Yes their other albums were great and I love then dearly but The Wall to me was their absolute best. Something about it being a deep descent into the abused mind of a Rockstar going into a never ending downward spiral of anger, loneliness and vulnerability hits me like no music has ever done to me before. I just relate to it more and see that the album had a philosophical meaning than just an album to get high too or something just made for experimenting with. Roger had a plan for the Wall and he knew exactly what he wanted it to be. The Final cut was a nice continuation of it that I also enjoy dearly.

Dark side of the moon is about cosmic Grandeur. The great leap into the void. The hipsters can call it overrated all they want, it's a monumental piece of art.
I'm struggling to find it again too. I'm wondering if it got taken down. But I looked up something like "surreal old cartoon" to find it on RUclips. If I find it, I'll let you know.
@@TheWaterlooWatermelonThx I’ve been wondering about it’s origins, but I’m guessing it may be fan made, how ever take that with a grain of salt as it may be officially made.
I’m not going to try to argue that it’s Pink Floyd’s greatest album, but The Final Cut is one the most emotionally moving albums I’ve ever heard. Sure, it’s practically a Waters solo album but it’s achingly nostalgic, heartbreaking, and human. Also, The Fletcher Memorial Home has my favorite Gilmour solo.
Its kind of TOO raw on several tracks. The Wall pretty much summed up the personal alienation thing. When he sings "will you take the children away, and leave me alone" its kind of "didn't you already just say this? Where Roger really flew was once he got out of his own head and did social commentary with Radio KAOS and Amused to Death. Those are freaking unbelievable albums. Like Pink Floyd there is just nothing to compare them too.

@@barrypeirson3710 Piper is better without Lsd, in my opinion, and for me is the best album. The rest of the list I disagree, and Saucerful is 5, 6 or 7 place for me.
This is one of the best ranking videos I've ever seen on RUclips. Absolutely fantastic speaking. I will admit, The Division Bell spot/discussion did trigger me pretty badly. Lol I think TDB should at least be in the top 6
WARNING. There are a couple mistakes in this video (mistakes that I am quite embarrassed about).
I mispronounce a couple words AND, most notably, I call one of Pink Floyd’s early band names “The Screaming ARABS,” when it is in fact called “The Screaming ABDABS.”

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

Speaking of great tracks on The Wall, Mother is a beautiful song
@@stratmaster0695 agreed, it’s one of my favorites on the wall, especially the solo it’s incredible
@@Garrett7112 Oh for sure
I think it’s unfortunate that Dark Side gets ragged on for being “the popular one”, but I mean there’s good reason why. The Wall, Wish You Were Here, Animals, they’ve all done great stuff and had something powerful to walk away with. But Dark Side is just so haunting, an absolute masterclass of how to do a concept album.
I very much appreciate this because one of the few people who pulled that out.
I argue that animals is just as haunting. Just in a less personal level and more on a societal level
Dark Side shouldn't get ragged on. It is literally the first exposure for most people....and if they like it...they will start digging...and find a catalog of music that will blow their minds. Animals is by far the best concise album in my useless opinion...who cares? Pink Floyd kicks ass.
Yep. It was also the apex of Progressive Rock, the ultimate studio album and a regular sound system tester, at the time when they were private PA beasts. Alan Parsons made a musical career of some sort out of engineering this particular album.
I think DSotM is one of the best albums they made and has some of their best songs, but The Wall I think was better as a concept album
Animals is my favorite Pink Floyd album but you explained why Dark Side was number 1 so well. Everyone expects your favorite album to be something obscure or not as well known if you’re a “true fan” but Dark Side is so famous and praised for a reason and it is the best Pink Floyd album.
Haha, charade you are~
I personally feel dark side of the moon and animals are both my favourites certainly their most consistent musically, Dark side of the moon I feel like I’m just gliding right through but not in a boring way and Animals is bad ass and melancholic as fuck🔥🤘
Yeah but I'd rather listen to Animals like you, I assume. I love Floyd so much that I needed a Floyd tattoo and the only thing I can think of was the Dark Side prism.
@@xxcolinaterxx2867 darkside of the moon is highly overrated.
Dark side is my fourth favorite album.
Really glad to see Meddle getting the appreciation it deserves. Echoes has got to be the greatest creation a sentient being has ever realized in all of space and time from nothingness to eternity.
💯💯💯
Absolutely horrendous take

I liked the 'other' song better:
*"One of these days I'm going to c..t you into little pieces!"*
THAT was the true intro for what was to come. (DSOTM)

The Ummagumma "Careful With That Axe Eugene" made me a hit in my art class, back in 85'. We had this assignment to do a picture of a song choice, that would be played over a display of our art work. I went with "Eugene" and made this tripped out depiction of an acid head's nightmare, with a guy who looked like a worm, screaming, with bleached white hair. I tried to do it like a Peter Max thing over a shocking pink background, I told my teacher, to time it a bit before the scream. After many of the pics were displayed, the class was getting pretty much bored, until mine came up, the eerie music and sounds lulling the people into uncertainty, I could hear whispers from people wondering what's was going to happen, heh, and then that SCREAM! Floyd and me were a hit!
This is so cool!
I never knew those crazy sounds were screams until I saw Roger doing it on Live at Pompeii.
Ummagumma is the favorite album of the "I am a deep Pink Floyd Head" Its a master piece to be sure. As will everything they put out aside from Division Bell.
Animals is my all time fav...followed by Atom Heart Mother, Saucer Full of Secrets, and of course...Live at Pompeii.
A select few people will always like my videos before they come out. That's an awful lot of trust.
You get what you heckin deserve
dude i already liked the video when you talked about in discord like 4 days before it came out
I’m surprised that I was the first on the live chat
Wow, What A Great Video, Great Animations And Great Rundown Of The Albums, Would Love To See You Do More Floyd Keep Up The Good Work!!!
I actually think Alan’s psychedelic breakfast has some of the most beautiful and unique David Gilmour playing.
I love the organ, it sounds like the sun.

Casual, underplayed little 'song', IMO. Very relaxing. The sounds of a well-earned week end morning.

Aye! It’s the top commenting man who made me but out of context. Happy birthday!
Thanks man!
Division bell is my personal best. I like the sensitive, human and feminin twist we don't find in the golden age albums. As you mention, pinkfloyd usually as ''the society is bad+solos'' strucutre, while the messages of this albums cover a wider set of human experiences from wander to anger to sadness and to hope. I like the slide guitar solos of High hopes, the distorted voices in keep talking , solo-long marooned, female back vocals, the slow start Dreamy Cluster One. In all sincerity, I can't understand how you would think this is a pale copy of older pink floyd. Of course, you won't find the ''waters'' pink floyd in it, but the rest of the band is still there!
Awful album. Dave G solo album at best. Only my opinion obviously.
Dude listen,I like Division Bell a lot.But when you compere with The Animals,Meddle,Wish You Were Here and others.
I love this album, still I like The Dark Side and Wish You Were Here more but it's definitely in my top 3. Better album created only by David than mostly by Roger for me.
I wouldn’t say division bell is there best, but it’s one I find myself revisiting very often. It’s just a nice album that I can absolutely chill to.
I don't agree, but it feels like people forget that High Hopes exist and is one of the best Pink Floyd songs ever.
For me Pink Floyd is one of the few bands that have 2 perfect albums. Wish You Were Here and Dark Side Of The Moon. I personally prefer Wish You Were Here,cause it means more to me on a personal level and has a more intimate feeling,but Dark Side is equally a masterpiece
darkside's ok but it's overhyped. it's not really a masterpeice in my eyes, the real masterpeice is wish you were here and animals.
@@xsm5525 found the hipster
@@xsm5525 I'm sorry, but when you get platinum sales 14 times over, it's not really a choice as to whether the album is a masterpiece or not. It's like arguing David isn't Michaelangelo's masterpiece
@@xsm5525 damn you're so different bro
@@mr.nazareth4501 sorry to have upset you with my opinion. :(
DSOTM has always been one of those "perfect albums" to me. Each song is an expertly crafted experience that all stand strong on their own, but when placed together they go completely over the top. It has the deeply intricate music theory and production to make music nerds go wild while having a mild pop edge that makes it super accessible to general audiences. It truly is one of the greatest albums of all time
Echoes is probably the best piece of art I have ever listened to!
Best Floyd tune.
The guitar section about 1/3rd through the original Live in Pompeii recording is my all time favorite piece of Davey G ever.
Which one's Pink ?
Echoes of course...if you want to have a real trip just listen to this Master Piece.
The best of all.
That's kind of sad. You should try to experience some good art at some point.
@@ephraimsb2277 you damned heretic, Echoes is beyond the beyond
The Division Bell is my personal favourite Pink Floyd album. ‘Poles Apart’ is one of my absolute favourite songs and there are some other great songs such as ‘Coming Back To Life’ and ‘High Hopes’. I also really like the A Momentary Lapse Of Reason album.
I agree! I got into Pink Floyd later in life around my 30’s. I’m 52 now and I have every Pink Floyd album, but gravitate back to Momentary and Division bell. On the turning away, and Sorrow are absolutely classics that I can listen to over and over and not get bored….. When I tell people those are my two favorite albums & Songs I get told I’m not a real Floyd fan or must hate Roger Waters! It’s all subjective, and there is no wrong answer. We like what we like!
high hopes is sooooo good.
Yep. my favourite album of all time of all bands. Even destroys guns n roses use ur illusion 2 for me
Poles Apart is my favorite song on the album too. Surprisingly, most people don't seem to mention it. I'm not the biggest fan of a Momentary Lapse of Reason but I would maybe put the Division Bell as their # 5 best album. I think it is really good.
@Kitty _gurl And beside that it is fucking incredible musically. I still do ambient guitars loops with the pocking and solo of lost for words after all these years. And high hopes is still my fav song of all time, especially pulse. I still get shivers down my spine with the final vocoder sound at keep talking (after the drum ends the wah ish sound).
I only disagree with the list because of The Division Bell. I love it!
Great video again, nice to have you back
That review of the Division Bell was borderline criminal. So many legendary songs in it. If you don't feel emotion when listening to High Hopes, you are as good as dead.
I know everyone always hates on it for no Rogers but I think it’s there best
There's several brilliant songs on it, and there's some very un Floyd like rubbish on it to me When it's good its very good , and when it's not..... That's what I reckon.
Yeah, wearing the inside out is 🔥
Not going to lie I don't like division bell, I feel waters kept the band less guitary.
Meddle will always be my favorite Floyd Album, Echoes is the greatest Prog Rock song I’ve listened to ever
The other side is great as well. Fearless is fantastic.

I always find it amusing that they kicked out syd for going crazy but that roger went pretty crazy himself (in a different sense) causing way more damage than syd ever did.
Well Roger went crazy in the way that helps you make good art a.k.a crazy with power.
Let's not start all this again..
kinda true
Syd literally couldn't play guitar...
Uh, you call making money for them 'damage'? Roger was certainly performing and writing. Whatever crazy Roger did got them some of the best songs of the century. And then he left, you don't get better than that, they played his songs and made more money, while he collects more royalties but certainly never got any commercial success. Although I personally like Radio KAOS and Amused to Death more than several Pink Floyd albums.
"Chaotic Breakfast Noises" will now be the name of my fictional Pink Floyd cover band.

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

Actually, my personal favorite Pink Floyd song, has to be The Great Gig In The Sky. The song always gives me goosebumps, and also wants you to sing with the vocal even how bad your singing is.
Piper is the only album I particularly enjoy, personally. I love Syd and his solo work.

My best album and best song. Its really an ode to his dad who died in a war and he never met him.
People can try and say Dark Side isn't their greatest album, and I may actually like Animals and Wish You Were Here better sometimes, but even the Billboard charts couldn't deny its greatness...it was on the Top 200 Albums chart for 736 consecutive weeks, a record which I'm pretty sure will never be broken.
I'm not sure popularity means best, otherwise McDonalds makes the best food hands down.
@@mikearchibald744 but that's just not the same
@@BLACKMETAL9224 I kind of think it is. Just go look at all the 'number ones' and usually there is good marketing behind them. There are TONS of people who will say their favourite album is Dark Side, but of Pink Floyd fans almost ANY album will be listed as a best, usually NOT Dark Side, as this commenter says.
And McDonalds is an anomaly in the restaurant business. They just also happen to sell shitty food. So its not the fact of 'quality' that makes number one, usually its not. "Cats" has run longer and made more money and has been seen by more people than Les Miz, but you'd be hard pressed to find people to argue that it is qualitatively 'better'. Thats hard enough to do with a commercial, artistic endevour. Is Banksy 'better art' because he gets more press and more people know his work?
Justin Biebers new album will likely outsell Dark Side, does that make it 'better'? I'd argue not.
I tell people Dark Side is the greatest album of all time, and at the same time also not my favorite of theirs. If they're a Pink Floyd fan, they usually get what I mean, and if not they tend to have a puzzle look
I just wanted to say that I really appreciate the Super Mario Galaxy background music
Seemed to be the most fitting for space rock :)
@@TheWaterlooWatermelon It is indeed! Great video btw, keep up the great work
I think a momentary lapse of reason is criminally underrated its not the most pink floyd album by a long shot but it has some really good songs on it.
I liked it far more than Division bell, it was quite original. And apart from two tracks it was horribly depressing, just like Rogers would have liked it. Between the angst of Radio KAOS and MLOR, Pink Floyd was a far better soundtrack to the eighties than most of hte crappy pop pap.
Ain’t even premiered yet and it already a classic 😤
You think those albums were underrated? THIS CHANNEL IS UNDERRATED!
The Wall is my personal favorite album from the band. Because it's just a masterpiece to me. The songs are an absolute treasure to me. Another Brick In The Wall part 2 was my first introduction to the band. I love the songs. I love and I mean LOVE the 1982 movie. I love how Alan Parker did this extremely weird and gorgeous movie. Bob Geldof was perfect for the role. The 1980/81 shows are cool. And it's just a great album. And yeah it sucks to know what happened behind the scenes during the recording sessions. But I love The Wall.
And A Saucerful Of Secrets Jugband Blues, God that's a great song
me too,my favorite album along with dark side.....and my absolute favorite song of PF is SHEEP.......The album "wish you were here"which is so often listed first never caught me....l don't know why,but l don't like it
Shine on you crazy diamond is the best Pink Floyd song

I agree with all you said except saying that “On The Run” is just okay. It’s an AMAZING seque track that is so unique in the use of the sequenced synth (Synthi VCS AKS and VCS3). The use of this synth and the folley effects provide an insane build and release of tension. YMMV
Animals, obscured, Saucer, Dark Side, and Piper. That's my 5-1 list.

Wasn’t Pink Floyd’s golden age everything from _A Saucerful of Secrets_ to _Obscured by Clouds_ ? Those and the Barrett albums are what I always find myself going back to.
I think definitionally speaking the DSOTM-Wall period is the golden age, just on sales and success alone as the term would suggest. However the albums you refer to definitely fit a different palate and niche many obviously love.

I think The Early Singles may as well be counted as an album in its own right as it is about a full length album’s worth of songs, with all but one track never having been released on any album I believe, and has some really incredible stuff on it, mostly from their Syd and post-Syd psychedelic period.

@@arnuuma1802 and I salute you back! There was nothing quite like it before hand, and nothing quite like it afterwards. It stands alone, iconic, as a testament not just to the brilliant mind of an artist, but also to the power of imagination and its ability to knock down or transcend barriers such as music, or storytelling, or even art itself. And this album stands tall in this regard. A truly unique masterpiece which reminds us that all things are sublimated to the enormous power of fearless imagination.

"Syd Barrett was kicked out of the band, for some crazy reason, because it turned out having a psycho as a band member was not healthy for the band dynamic."
According to you, Syd Barrett was nothing more than a psycho. What a great way to honor his name dude!!!! Way to give credit to the person responsible for the band's name and success in the early years of Pink Floyd. I don't know if you meant your statement in the way that I am perceiving it, but what you said is not fair in any way to someone who was most likely and assumed to be suffering from schizophrenia.
I understand that this is not the point of the video. The purpose of your video was to share thoughts on Pink Floyd's albums, and you were just trying to give a preface by giving a description of the band in the start of the video so you might have not put those words into much consideration. No one looking for the ranking of the albums is searching for a detailed history of the band members of Pink Floyd. I skimmed through the comments, trying to see if anyone had addressed this issue with your video, and it seems not. I guess this isn't much of a pressing issue then, and your video has been up for over a year.
I hope you could understand how awfully you put this statement. You say this as if Syd Barrett had control over his mental state by doing drugs. The amount of psychedelic drugs he was doing at the time was not odd, especially for the industry he was in. Obviously, that doesn't make the usage okay. He was an addict, who already most likely had mental illnesses. You mention him doing drugs and then just suddenly becoming a "psycho." That is not how it works. Like I said, he most likely had mental illnesses prior to joining the band and doing drugs. If I am remembering correctly, Syd Barretts father passed years prior to his joining of the band. Syd experienced pain and suffering in his life as every person does. He began to play guitar as an outlet for that. He probably started using psychedelics as an outlet to his suffering as well.. Syd's usage led his mental state to worsen, if you have ever watched interviews of the members talking about Syd, you will hear them explain how he acted. It wasn't that he was ignoring his job as a band member, he was suffering and wasn't able to keep his mind on his job and on the task of playing in the band. None of what happened to him was his fault, and he doesn't deserve to be labeled simply as a "psycho" who had to get kicked out of the band because he was a bother. From the time of Pink Floyd psychedelic era up until his death in 2006, he had to live with his mental illness. It's so sad how not-serious some people take mental illness. Syd Barrett deserves better!!!
Ummagumma was a weird concept.
It was one live album and an album of solo EPs.
Each band member went off on their own to write enough music for half of an album side. Other band members had little to no input on each other’s tracks.
Richard gave us the Sisyphus suite. Roger penned Grantchester Meadows and Several Species, Dave gave us The Narrow Way, and Nick gave us The Grand Vizier’s Garden Party.
Yeah. They were a LOT better together than separately at this point in their careers.

The Revision Hell ( sic ) is a disaster piece. Wake me up when it is over zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. PF should have called it quits after "the Final Cut". DG cannot write interesting concept albums that are good like " Amused to death".. The Endless River of shyte was so bad and boring it was not even useful for clearing people out of your house when the party has gone on too late and too long.The Wall was mainly RW on his own trip. "Animals" is probably the best PF record of all time.AMLOR was a total stinker.I like MORE.
I think The Final Cut is Criminally underrated. In the future I think people will hold it to higher regard when it gets discovered more.
You are my friend now
I agree completely!!
I hate The Final Cut. Their worst album. Or it is a Waters solo album, him just whining. So let’s agree to disagree. ;)
The Final Cut is extremely lacking in the bandship they used to have. It's literally just a Roger Waters solo project.I have not been more disappointed by a Pink Floyd album before lol.

This is such a great video! I love the animations, but the best part is how succinct you are. You fit so much info in an 18 minute video without it ever rambling, it's awesome!
Also, big props for choosing Dark Side as your #1 album. I know a lot of the Pink Floyd fandom tends to treat Dark Side as babies-first-Floyd, but that's only because the album is so good they themselves listened to it 2x more than any reasonable person should. And they only listened to it that much because the album is great. Dark Side is popular for a reason, and I feel like more people should acknowledge it.
That being said, my personal #1 has to be Piper at the Gates of Dawn. I love the golden period albums, particularly the first 3, but they're so influential that I've ended up finding other, similar albums that just slightly meet my tastes better. Meanwhile, I've still yet to find another album that sounds like Piper, nevermind one as good as it is front-to-back. Piper is just fun! What other album has a 10 minute space rock epic, a surf rock jam about a cat named Lucifer, and dramatic finale about a kid's fancy bike and his pet mouse Gerald. Piper is diverse, but every song feels caught between the childlike whimsy of the lyrics and creeping menace of instrumental. It's just such a good album to me.
Personally I feel that Hipsters going 'Oh no Dark Side is Overrated!!' has in turn caused albums like Wish you Were Here to actually become overrated.'
Similar thing with Sergent Pepper's and Revolver.
Whats the dark side n wywh of sgt n rev
Does that make meddle the rubber soul of pink floyd?
@@iSkully99 rubber soul and meddle are my favourites from both bands, 2 albums don't recieve the plaudits of the albums that followed but are equally as good it's pretty apt to make that correlation.
dark side is undoubtedly the most iconic but tbh with you i could never make a video like this because the top 5 albums are constantly fighting for their order in my head to the point where which one is my favorite literally changes daily. it's a nice testament to how good all of them are.
My list:
1 - The Wall 1979
2 - Wish you were here 1975
3 - Atom Heart Mother 1970-72
4 - Medley 1971
5 - Animals 1977
6 - The Dark Side of the moon 1973
7 - Ummagumma 1969
8 - The Division Bell 1993
9 - Final Cut 1983
10 - A momentary lapse of reason 1987
11 - Saucerful of secrets 1968
12 - The pipers at the gate at down 1967
13 - Obscured by clouds 1972
14 - More 1968
Glad to finnally see someone who loves the wall as much as I do
As a Prog metal lover, when you said at the beginning: does other music have ____ I answered yes every time
The final cut is a concept album. I believe it is supposed to be taken as one entire song which would explain why all the songs sound similar. I hold this album in the top 3. The gunners dream is probably one of the most beautifully written songs I've ever heard.
I had to check if I wrote this comment, agree 100%
The Gunners Dream is so insanely beautiful
Finally somebody actually gets it !
I would also upgrade it from place 9, maybe even to top 3, although you can't make a top 3 with Pink Floyd, maybe a top 5. The Gunners Dream is one of my favourite songs.
the gunners dream was my dance solo last year!!
top 5
5: The Wall
4: Meddle
3: Animals
2: Wish you were here
1: Dark side
I have to say in my personal opinion The Wall is Pink Floyd's magnum opus. Yes their other albums were great and I love then dearly but The Wall to me was their absolute best. Something about it being a deep descent into the abused mind of a Rockstar going into a never ending downward spiral of anger, loneliness and vulnerability hits me like no music has ever done to me before. I just relate to it more and see that the album had a philosophical meaning than just an album to get high too or something just made for experimenting with. Roger had a plan for the Wall and he knew exactly what he wanted it to be. The Final cut was a nice continuation of it that I also enjoy dearly.
The Wall is the best ROCK OPERA
You gotta be crazy not having Animals higher.
🐕
I love your channel because I don't know anyone else who likes all the same bands as me. You have a great taste in music.

Love Pink Floyd my favourite band ever and the first 4 albums are part of my top 10 favourite albums of all The Wall is my favourite for a bit and then is Dark Side
Dark side of the moon is about cosmic Grandeur. The great leap into the void. The hipsters can call it overrated all they want, it's a monumental piece of art.
Does anyone know what the background video that was shown from 5:41 to 5:53 is? I’ve been trying to find its origin for hours.
I'm struggling to find it again too. I'm wondering if it got taken down. But I looked up something like "surreal old cartoon" to find it on RUclips. If I find it, I'll let you know.
@@TheWaterlooWatermelonThx I’ve been wondering about it’s origins, but I’m guessing it may be fan made, how ever take that with a grain of salt as it may be officially made.
I would suspect it would be made as early as the 1960s or 1970s
I’m not going to try to argue that it’s Pink Floyd’s greatest album, but The Final Cut is one the most emotionally moving albums I’ve ever heard. Sure, it’s practically a Waters solo album but it’s achingly nostalgic, heartbreaking, and human. Also, The Fletcher Memorial Home has my favorite Gilmour solo.
Its kind of TOO raw on several tracks. The Wall pretty much summed up the personal alienation thing. When he sings "will you take the children away, and leave me alone" its kind of "didn't you already just say this? Where Roger really flew was once he got out of his own head and did social commentary with Radio KAOS and Amused to Death. Those are freaking unbelievable albums. Like Pink Floyd there is just nothing to compare them too.
Nah
Yah

My Top 5 Favorite Pink Floyd Albums.
5 - Ummagumma
4 - Atom Heart Mother
3 - Saucerful of Secrets
2 - Obscured by Clouds
1 - Piper at the Gates of Dawn
Now I Love Dark Side, Animals, Meddle, Wish You Were Here, The Wall and More, but I Love the Early Psychedelic Stage of Floyd.
was not expecting ummagumma & asos
Controversial
Ummagumma gang gang
Someone likes LSD
This is the worst Pink Floyd list ever lol
Jk man.
@@barrypeirson3710 Piper is better without Lsd, in my opinion, and for me is the best album. The rest of the list I disagree, and Saucerful is 5, 6 or 7 place for me.
Extremely well done. I was planning to skip through but you pulled me in!
The Beatles and Pink Floyd are cool.
Teddy seeing on RUclips at BLACK METAL TEENS HEARING PINK FLOYD
This is one of the best ranking videos I've ever seen on RUclips. Absolutely fantastic speaking.
I will admit, The Division Bell spot/discussion did trigger me pretty badly. Lol I think TDB should at least be in the top 6
