Look man,... I'm 50 years old. First concert I ever went to was The Wall in 1980. I gotta say that it is heartwarming to see a young man with so much passion and familiarity with and for my favorite band.
To be honest, I disagree with a few points, but I applaud your perspective. Perhaps the parts we disagree on is due to the difference in our original experience... For example, In the 80's, I was a huge fan. Played out on all their existing work, I was desperate for new Floyd. David got Richard and Nick together, minus Roger, and gave us something.
The sound fit the times. I got new Gilmore solo's. David's voice was familiar.... It wasn't their best, but it was good. Especially compared to what else was coming out at the time.
So, I admit that hearing Momentary Lapse of Reason now takes me back to a time when it was more than acceptable music. That being said, resetting myself as objective as I can muster, still would ague that it's not a "Bad" album. There is great guitar work, I don't think David's singing it ever bad, Richards keyboards are all over the album... It's just not top shelf like Darkside. But that's not fair, unless you measure everyone against Pink Floyd's best.
I mean, at the time, Jefferson Airplane reformed as Jefferson Starship and produced "We Built This City". Ozzy was wearing a cape with moons and stars on it. Whitney Houston was at the top of the charts. Rock Bands were wearing eyeliner and covered in hair spray.
I'll climb down off my soapbox now and return to rest on my walker. I just am happy to see someone so young that I can talk this in depth about Floyd with.
Jason Hahn im 12 and i have heard Every single song
I’m 23 I’ve been listening to Pink Floyd as long as I can remember. They were the first band that made me go “ holy shit I gotta know everything this band has done” they’ll always be one of my favorite bands
Stupid Name There one of my favorite bands as well but i need to look into every album by them because i mainly enjoy Meddle, Dark Side Of The Moon, Animals, The Wall, and Wish You Were here at the moment, but i bet that will change.
Josh Shrum pretty much meddle you to the wall are the essential Pink Floyd albums. Including wish you were here (I noticed you didn’t list that one) but honestly their entire 70s run of albums are worth listening. Atom heart mother is in my opinion the weakest 70s album but it’s still a good album. Even obscured by clouds is good, even though it is a soundtrack to a movie it is still a great album. It’s better than their other film soundtrack “more”. Basically I’d say dive into all the 70s albums (Atom heart mother, Meddle, Obscured by Clouds, Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals, and The Wall.) then I’d say go back and check out the first two albums if you haven’t (Piper at the gates of dawn, and saucerful of secrets) they are pretty different from what they did in the 70s but still great albums and I would consider them essential. Other than that I don’t really find the album More that great, it’s got a few songs that are ok but it’s not nearly as good as the other soundtrack album. Ummagumma is better than people make it out to be, the live half of the album is great and the studio half has some parts that are lacking but once you know all the 70s albums and their first two. It’s a good one to check out, just don’t take the studio half so seriously, a lot of it is VERY experimental and avant-garde so it’s a very weird album. As for any album after the wall. I’ve never been too impressed by The Final Cut, but I know some people like it a lot. I really like A Momentary Lapse of Reason, some people don’t. I know some people praise the Division Bell and others don’t, and same with the Endless River. Over all I’d say the most important albums are the 70s albums, then the first two. After that I’d personally recommend giving Ummagumma an honest chance cuz it’s really not as bad as people say. Then I’d recommend dabbling in some of the post wall albums.
Sorry for the book but I hope you enjoy what you hear. Such a great band. They’re the band that made me listen to music in full albums and not just a few songs.
Nice to see A Momentary Lapse Of Reason get some love 👍
I grew up in the 80's and am nostalgic for that 80's sound. This album is 80's Pink Floyd and i love it, takes me back to my childhood.
The passion for Pink Floyd that this guy exudes is impressive. I could have not done it better at my age.
“The Piper at the Gates of Dawn” AKA
The Pink Beatles
The Beatles never did anything like Interstellar Overdrive.
@@duckface524 yeah, they did something better, a Day In The Life.
Fun fact: Pink Floyd recorded Piper at the same time and in the same studio as the Beatles when they were recording sgt peppers
@@solsussman742 Extra fun fact: The Pretty Things were in another part of Abbey Road recording their own psychedelic masterpieces the album S.F. Sorrow and single Defecting Grey at the same time as Floyd and Beatles were working on their's.
@@galosniper7010 See Emily Play = better than A Day In a Life. Your point is?
Dogs alone has 3 or 4 of the best musical solos of all time
Pink Floyd, the best way to say music its the universal language
Do you like the song "Echoes"?
He already made a retrospective in a livestream months ago.
It is a kind of dsoftm first song, good analysis
Boop boop *proceeds to have musical breakdown for 20 minutes*
How can you not like echoes?
Man, can somebody flip this guys talk switch to slow or stop, please?
Atom Heart Mother deserves more respect. The title track is something else and all the other songs are also incredible. I see a lot of people putting it at the bottom and it’s sad.
For real, the title song was awesome, but I can see pink floyd hating it, they were practically a side piece in the ahm composition
I think it gets a bit too much respect by those who know about it
Imo AHM Suite is the worst out the longer Pink Floyd songs (10-25 mins), it just goes on too long and gets boring compared to the other and the rest of the album just seems pretty boring…
Atom Heart Mother is god tier
@@malugawhale I agree, i really think they should have split it into multiple parts instead of a 20 minute drag
David Gilmore can make that guitar cry like dad can to mom
hold up
~ Gilmour, not "Gilmore."
Learn to spell.
I really like “the Final Cut”, i like the lyrics, the cold harsh production, the sound effects and the music gets me more and more with each listen. But I agree that is not in line with the lush sounds of the Floyd albums that came before, but I it’s for me the sixth best album released by Pink Floyd
I'm Floyd mad, however I love The Final Cut and Amused To Death.
Unpopular opinion: The Pompeii version of echoes is far superior to the studio version
Sólyom Sógor I think you meant to say “popular opinion:” lol
That’s not an unpopular opinion
No, it isn't. The studio version of 'Echoes' is perfect. It cannot be improved.
@@steveosborne3714 I feel that watching them play Echoes live, in that ancient Roman colosseum, makes it even more epic than the studio version. Bands do tend to perfect their songs in studio, but the added element at Pompeii just enhances the performance and sets it apart from the album.
They're both amazing for different reasons. The jam on Pompeii at the end is way more intense
You should do a Queen Retrospective Review. That would be awesome.
I'd like that
“A+! this is a phenomenal lyrics booklet!”
I really do not understand all the hate against Momentary lapse! On the turning away is extremly moving and has one of his best solos. And sorrow is one of their best Songs with epic guitar work. Learning to fly makes me feel so well and free...
everybody just hates it because he or she heard that most other People hate it or because of its Background or production!
but noone Looks at the actual Songs and their atmosphere!
DOOOOOOGS OF WORRRRRR!
To some extent I agree with you. I feel strong emotions hearing parts of it, a part of pf survived.
I love AMLOR, but it is my least favorite of their work, mostly because it is David Gilmour and Friends, not really Pink Floyd. And Dogs of War is terrible.
Sorrow is a great song! Especially live.
Most of the songs sound much better live off mlor. The 2019 remix of it is a lot better too imo
Thank you for making this video. Over 1 hr long video of ranking albums from my favorite band. That’s the dream!!
Great stuff man! I love your commentary
This is an amazing review. Thank you for describing things the way you do.
Thank you! Been waiting for it!
Me too
It's great to hear analyses from another point of view than your own. Very interesting to see how other people (in this case young people) perceive this music that you've known for so many years. I liked the review a lot.
What an entertaining enthusiastic review. You're so passionate; you really make me want to go listen to Floyd!
1. Wish You Were Here (10/10)
2. Animals (10/10)
3. Meddle (10/10)
4. Dark Side Of The Moon (9.5/10)
5. Atom Heart Mother (9/10)
my opinion:
1. Animals (10/10)
2. Dark Side of the Moon (10/10)
3. Meddle (10/10)
4. Wish You Were Here (9.5/10)
5. Atom Hear Mother (9/10)
I would say
1. Dark side of the moon
2. Meddle
3. The wall
4. Atom Heart mother
5. Animals
6. Wish you were here
7. Saucer full of secrets
8. Obscured by clouds
How could a 10/10 be better than a 10/10?
Puncher Sponge some 10/10s are better than other 10/10s
sprinkledhotdo g Personally for me it’s.
1. Dark Side Of The Moon (10/10)
2. The Wall (10/10)
3. Meddle (10/10)
4. Wish You Were Here (9.5)
5. Animals/Atom Heart Mother (9)
Wright didn’t leave after the Wall, he got fired by Rog
~ Hence, he left.
Glad you gave Meddle it's due. It's such a great album. This is a good video man. Keep it up.
1. The Wall
2. Wish you were here
3. Dark side of the moon
4. Animals
5. Meddle
This is so hard. Any of the top 4 can be #1 in my book. I disagree with you about the flow stuff on side 3. Vera is one of most emotional moments in their career. Other than that, these reviews are excellent! I’m glad to see more people my age love this band as much as I do! Cheers!
I've only heard the 4 big ones
1. DSOTM (I like the way every song flows right into the other, the eerie vibe and Richard Wright was the MVP for this one, his organ and piano playing was on point)
2. The Wall (Best concept album ever! The story of Pink is just crazy, the fact that Roger wrote 90% of this is just.... unbelievable. Comfortably Numb had best solo)
3. Wish You Were Here (Shine On You is out of this world, it's my favourite PF song, Have a Cigar I'd groovy and Wish You Were Here is one of the most beautiful song ever)
4. Animals (PF's lyrical masterpiece, Roger definitely put all his fury and rage into this. Dave's outro solo in Pigs is breathtaking, the anger and Rick's keyboard was spot on as usual. The acoustic intro and outro are great too though I feel the album could've been shorter)
This is the best video on the Pink Floyd catalogue I have seen so far!
I'm a huge Pink Floyd fan, since The Wall era , back in 1979, when I was just a little kid. And I must say: I'm impressed! It's the greatest Pink Floyd review I have ever watched! I couldn't agree with you more, in every way! It's amazing! THANK YOU!
I can tell your love for music through your voice, its very infectious.
If you consider Animals to be Pink Floyd's best work, you have my attention and respect. Good review, you deserve more subs.
Awesome as usual !
I finally found someone who loves echoes as much as I do. The guitar harmonies at the 18 minute mark blow me away everytime.
No one:
Pink Floyd: breakfast noises
Unpopular Opinion: The Final Cut is in my Top 5.
Amen brother
Unpopular opinion that’s actually not liked: Ummagumma is amazing
It's definitely not their worst, and it is one of my favorite by them.
It's just a great one, with some really great songs, and great songwriting from waters. Very underrated album.
Probably number 6 for me with the Division Bell at number 5.
@@jayt4465 Same for me
thank you for introducing me to them a year ago. They're my favourite band now
Absolutely love this video, from one Pink Floyd fan to another, fantastic job, loved the combination of knowledge and passion---thats always a winning formula---and yes, indeed, Animals is just an absolute masterpiece that is so time;essly great it never gets old and never gets tired (Gilmour's zenith) cheers, thanks for the video, really enjoyed it. AND Edit--YES--the Outro to Sheep is the absolute pinnacle, gives me chills to this very day!
What a truly excellent retrospective. I found myself agreeing with almost everything except for your dislike of The Final Cut, and your final rank ordering but I totally get how and why you reached the scores you did. Very well done sir.
You are awesome!!!! Keep it up!!!
I love you enthusiasm so much damn, like you sound so passionate in what you say it’s crazy 🌚
I appreciate you changing the songs for what you're talking about
1. The Wall (1979)
2. Dark Side of The Moon (1973)
3. Wish You Were Here (1975)
4. The Division Bell (1994)
5. Animals (1977)
6. Meddle (1971)
7. A Momentary Lapse of Reason (1987)
8. The Endless River (2014)
9. Obscured By Clouds (1972)
10. Atom Heart Mother (1970)
11. The Final Cut (1983)
12. Piper At The Gates of Dawn (1967)
13. A Saucerful of Secrets (1968)
14. Ummagumma (1969)

I'm more than happy with that. However due to the nature of Floyd it changes every day for me.
Division Bell Brother!!
I LOVE your passion.
I'd be quite interested to see you do reviews for Syd, Roger and Dave's albums. Great video, I'll definitely be watching more of them.
Led Zeppelin retrospective
Yes
Really love your thoughts on this glad i saw this.
great video, your dark side of the moon segment actually made me cry.
1) dark side of the moon
2) animals
3) meddle
4) wish you were here
5) the wall
Another great assessment that I pretty much agree with just as I did on your Genesis assessment. Even if others think I’m wrong, I feel I’m in good company. Good work.
It's awesome to see that you've gotten older/grown a beard/ ages a bit since The Beatles retrospective. I love the passion you show for the music you love. Good work. Keep it up. Do you play in a band yourself? I bet you do
I hope this message finds you and yours well! Thanks for the Floyd! Greetings from Illinois!
I saw the band on their 1972 tour, before the release of "Dark Side of the Moon." The first half of the concert was "Set Controls For the Heart of the Sun," "Astronomy Domine," "Be Careful With That Axe Eugene" and "Echoes." There was an intermission followed by the entirety of "Dark Side Of The Moon" (which had not been released yet) beginning to end. The visuals were as explosive as technology would allow and to this day it remains one of my favorite concerts ever.
awesome video. keep it up!
The Piper at the Gates of Dawn
Brilliant and interesting debut.
A Pink Floyd album experience you can't find anywhere else.
Great vid keep it up
Nice perspective from someone of the younger generation on Pink Floyd's discography.
I differ on quite a few points though, except Animals, i love that album immensely, and reckon that's Pink Floyd's finest hour both musically and lyrically.
Dark Side Of The Moon is the most perfectly conceived album, though it may not even be Pink Floyd's greatest album...that's testament to how good several of their albums really are.
A Momentary Lapse Of Reason holds a sweet spot in my heart seeing as i grew up in the 80's and know what 80's music felt like during that era, it's very nostalgic for me and takes me right back to my childhood...good times.
I feel really emotional about The Final Cut. Since my Father past away many years ago i've grown really attached to the lyrics and the often understated musical compositions that fill this album with foreboding and ominous loss.
Division Bell is a nice album, clean and crisp sounds, more like a David Gilmour solo album to be fair, but enjoyable none the less.
The early Psychedelic era Piper At The Gates Of Dawn is of course a whimsical Pop/Space Rock classic, a gateway into the mind of the highly influencial Syd Barrett. Enjoyable enough.
Each person has their favourite Pink Floyd era whether that be the Syd era, the Waters era, or the Gilmour era; each has it's merits and appeals, though being honest anything other than the Waters led era is to disregard the lyrical & musical behemoth that we know and love today.
Nice video bro 👍
Remember a day was recorded for piper but didn't make the cut according to the book LOST IN THE WOODS Syd Barrett and the Pink Floyd. so yes, it is indeed Syd playing the slide guitar.
When you described the intro to “one of these days” I died laughing, great video
I really enjoyed Your Pink Floyd Review.
Love Your enthusiasm.
Really entertaining.
Thanks.

@@BrockBurrito thank you ahahahah
You don't have put year of the albums
How do you have the Division Bell above Meddle? To each their own I guess.
@@mileswilliams4807 you know, the best moments of "The Divison Bell" are not as good as the other best ones from "Meddle", but to me it's more balanced in terms of quality.
Thanks for the in depth analysis. I am very much aligned with your whole review. Animals is also my favourite album of the Non Syd Barrett stuff. I love "Piper" but I do realise, it is almost like a different band, different era; so in my mind, I have two Pink Floyds - Syd's version and "the band". I agree that everything after The Wall was in sharp decline.
Fun Fact: all of the sounds and dialogue used in Alan’s Psychedelic Breakfast actually came from the band recording one of their roadies, Alan Styles, preparing and eating breakfast.
Grantchester Meadows takes on a whole different vibe and meaning in a live recording from 1970 in San Francisco for public television broadcast. Check it out. The performance adds Gilmour and Wright and is absolutely beautiful.
well done. nice to see my love for this band would live on.
Piper is still one of my favourite. I just love that whimsical and fairytale-ish feels of it. Syd's writing is just so unique and weird and captivating.
Dark Side: on the Billboard top 100 chart for 741 consecutive weeks. Facts!👍
Just to clarify, Wish You Were Here was basically put together by Roger Waters, as yes, you are correct, the success of Dark Side Of The Moon both burnt the band members out from the non-stop touring they did from 1972 through 1974, but also due to the wealth and fame it brought them. Gilmour, Mason and Wright were out doing their own thing and Waters was the driving force. He is the one who had to pull the rest back into the studio, as creativity was Waters' outlet. The album was supposed to consist of three songs: Raving and Drooling, and You Gotta Be Crazy (which later became Sheep and Dogs, respectively, on the Animals album) on one side, and Shine On You Crazy Diamond as the second full side, as they were playing all three during their tour. Gilmour fought hard to keep this, but Waters won out, stating the three did not work together as one cohesive album. They then crafted Welcome To The Machine, Have A Cigar and Wish You Were Here to fill out the album and fit with the concept: absence. And to correct you, (not trying to be an ass, just stating fact) the albums concept is of absence. Absence of hope (Welcome To The Machine), absence of caring (Have A Cigar), absence of love (Wish You Were Here) and absence of Syd (Shine On). But, it doesn't end there. Waters wanted to break up Shine On into two sections and once again, Gilmour fought him. And again, Waters won out, once he outlined the whole thing. Mason and Wright agreed, then Gilmour reluctantly agreed, since they were a democratic band (at that time).To this day, each band member stated it is their favorite of their albums - even Gilmour! So it is a fight we should all be thankful that Waters won, since this is their most personal and emotional album. My personal favorite. The last album I want to hear when I shuffle off this mortal coil.
Trivia: the final notes on the album (Shine On Part IX) are from See Emily Play, the very first song of Syd's they recorded. The ultimate final tribute.
They also tell the story that this album was meant to be, as Syd showed up in the studio as they were finishing the mix! I will let you find that story, it's eerie and heartbreaking all at once.
If you love Floyd I highly recommend you read Inside Out, by Nick Mason. You can't get a better history or view of the band.
Also, if you love this album I invite you to watch the great documentary on the making of the album: The Story Of Wish You Were Here: www.amazon.com/Pink-Floyd-Story-Wish-Were/dp/B007X6ZRMA/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=the+story+of+wish+you+were+here&qid=1603148703&s=movies-tv&sr=1-2
I really do enjoy the fact you are so passionate for my favorite band of all time, I love your enthusiasm. It warms my heart to see young people embracing music that I believe will stand the test of time long after were are gone. So much so that my daughter is also a huge Floyd fan.
Shine on!
you shouldve also corrected him in saying that david sings in welcome to the machine.. not roger
Pretty good run down. PF has been my favorite band since I discovered them at age 11. And this coming from a guy who played in metal bands (death metal some would call it). First album was wish u were here. It tripped me out. I left it for several years until just recently, I'm finding I'm rediscovering them and they were as good, if not better then I remembered. Pretty heavy stuff for an innocent 11 year old whose favorite group up to that point was weird al, haha. Love those 80's
Man, that was the most awesome retrospective I've ever seen on Floyd! Including store bought crap!!!! Lol. They are by far one if not my favorite band of all time. I just love your enthusiasm. You actually made me weep when you reviewed Animals. My favorite album as well and maybe of all time too. Only major disagreement is that I like the Final Cut a lot more than you. But your right, you're absolutely right. The songs feel half assed and just as they get good, they just either fade away, or go back to meandering around. It feels as if Roger put Gilmour in a cage and wouldn't let him out! Lmao. Not Now John is cheesy as fuck but I love it... And my favorite is the closer, Two Suns in the Sunset. It's so dark and Nihilistic. Actually the whole albums like that. I don't know, maybe that's why I love it so. Lol. I truly hate and agree with you 100% on The apply titled A momentary Sack Of Shit! Goddamn god awful album. I didn't buy it when it came out and only own it now because I wanted to complete my Floyd collection. Period. It's worse than any of the solo Gilmour records. Sounds like an self conscious 80s abomination. All those people who came and wrote lyrics didn't know shit about Floyd obviously. And The god awful dogs of war! Ugh. Horrible. The Division Bell I actually like, to me is like an imitation of a Pink Floyd album featuring most members of Pink Floyd. Lmao. Funny, again your most hated song is my fave Coming back to life. But that's because a relationship I once had, and it was kind of my song for her when we, well, you know. Ha. I just turned 51 this month. Don't feel bad, I never got to see them either. Although I did get to see Roger Waters do the wall. Wish it would have been his last tour though. The set he did was amazing. You should do a couple more of these on Gilmore and Waters solo albums. If you can hang with them. Lol. Be interesting to see how you feel about them. Well, enough of my yapping. Thanks again for that awesome retrospective. Laterz 🤘🙃👏👽
I wanted to see a good review of Pink Floyd and this really hit the spot. I'll confess I fast forwarded to DSOTM but I enjoyed every minute and agreed with almost every view of yours thereafter.
When I was young and being brought up on Floyd, I always thought that Animals was closer to their earlier (pre-DSOTM) sound and then it was WYWH and then DSOTM. It all collided into the music of my youth and I didn't try to discern then, but as I got older and looked into it all, the more it surprised me that the order I had imagined those 3 albums to be in was actually reversed!
I wholeheartedly agree about Animals being #1, although I'd take Pigs (Three Different Ones) as my absolute masterpiece Floyd song. The whole album is just outstanding, although I'd recommend giving a Floyd virgin an overview. It is moody and brilliant, but not for first-timers.
DSOTM is just a masterpiece, as is WYWH. The song itself is probably the best Floyd song for a new listener, it's just so melancholic and generally beautiful that it can't fail to grab you.
I could go on and on. I might just do that, I've been thinking about doing my own Floyd reviews for individual songs, getting really in-depth with them, and your video has really given me inspiration.
Thanks, I'm off to check your other content.
cmon the keyboard work on shine on 6-9 was fucking mind bending, it tells a story, literally, I always imagine a calm sea with syd in a rowing boat, then the storm comes pulls him further into the storm till he is at the point of no return it then washes him away into a whirlpool or over a waterfall with the other members trying to reel him in, but he is too far gone to save. maybe that`s the intention i don`t know but jesus what an experience....
Animals IS the greatest PF album
Trannon Goble thats a funny way to spell “the wall”
@@BrockBurrito Thats a funny way to spell dark side of the moon
@@kinyamadege__6235 that's a funny way to spell wish you were here
This is factually correct
Y’all can’t spell Meddle smh
I don't know why people hate see saw. Its so underrated and beatifull
o x omg I know right! I'm 11 and I love it
Mr. Blue735 what does age have to do with anything
I agree. I love See Saw
Because Roger hated it, and people like to agree with that opinion. The same reason people like the Plastic Ono Band album even though it's a pile of shite.
nowadays a chill runs down my spine just from hearing the word echoes
thanks pink floyd
Great ranking. You really took a deep dive there and examined the albums in meticulous detail.
First of all, yes, it is Nick Mason who says "One of these days i'm going to cut you up into little pieces", he used a voice-changer for that. Nick can also be heard in Atom Heart Mother Suite where he says "Silence in the studio!" (again, Nick used a voice changer). By the way, your favourite Atom Heart Mother song is my least favourite Atom Heart Mother song. How can anyone can find it even remotely entetaining in insane to me but each to their own.
I think there are THREE TYPES of PINK FLOYD:
1 - The Syd Era
2 - The Mainstream/Popular Area (also known as the Era between The Syd Era and the Post Roger Waters Era lmao, basically the most globally familiar music of Pink Floyd).
3 - The Post Roger Waters Era
The Syd Era is so vastly different to the rest of their stuff that it almost feels like a Beatles album, you're right, like a completely different band altogether.
My Top 15 Pink Floyd albums starting with my Favourite going down to Least Favourite are as follows:
1. The Dark Side Of The Moon
2. Wish You Were Here
3. Atom Heart Mother
4. Animals
5. The Wall
6. Meddle
7. Obscured By Clouds
8. Ummagumma
9. The Division Bell
10. More
11. The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn
12. The Endless River
13. A Saucerful Of Secrets
14. A Momentary Lapse of Reason
15. The Final Cut
I have to so, the order of my ranking has a tendency to change. It's a really weird thing.. who knows what my ranking will look like 10 years or even 20 years from now.
have been listening to dark side for 40 years and as soon as I start to hear that open track I get a chill and set aside 40 minutes to honor the best album of all time. I'll say it again, in the world of rock music it is the best album of all time. Did I mention dark side it the Best Album Of All Time. Well it is.
I totally agree!
I concur.
Believe it or not but my favourite Pink Floyd track is "A Saucerful of Secrets". I just love that it starts and progresses very scary and intimidating at times but just ends with a very heartwarming, epic organ part. I always think of that track as "the story of overcoming something".
Not the biggest fan of Piper but your overall enthusiasm for the album inspired me to give it another crack. I always come back to the album liking it a tiny bit more than before, so thanks!
I appreciate this video
"On the run" is exactly what a bad trip sounds like. Almost threw me into one when I realised this while listening to it.

Excellent job
Today and tomorrow’s music will not attempt to match the creative perfection of Pink Floyd, which is why their music was so far ahead of theirs time and forever Timeless.
"In the flesh?" Is my favorite Pink Floyd song
In other words I’m not a real Pink Floyd fan
I feel the wall is the definitive conclusion of the band. It is the mixture of every album rolled into one, from the high points, to the silliness, to the low points. My favorite Floyd album and my favorite album of all time.
My own personal ranking of their studio albums from 1967 to 1983:
1. Piper at the Gates of Dawn (10/10)
2. Wish You Were Here (10/10)
3. Animals (10/10)
4. Dark Side of the Moon (10/10)
5. The Wall (10/10)
[^^^ All 5 are basically perfect ^^^]
6. Meddle (9/10)
7. The Final Cut (9/10)
8. A Saucerful of Secrets (8/10)
9. Atom Heart Mother (7/10)
10. Obscured by Clouds (7/10)
11. Ummagumma (5/10)
12. More (5/10)
Nice that's my opinion too
Good work!
I think I had a heart attack when you called marooned a slog
I’m an older guy and tripped out in the 70’s to all the Floyd albums. I remember well Dark Side and Wish when they came out.
Oh what fabulous albums. Oh what a lovely decade. However, I agree to differ with you re Obscured by Clouds. I really like that album and love their back to basics rock. The earlier Sid albums leave something to be desired in my opinion. Echoes sort of followed on organically from Atom Heart Mother. I love your Wish you Were Here appraisal. It’s about right.
When it’s again time to listen to Dark Side if the Moon - absolutely nothing else will do!
Cheers, Dave ✌️
woah woah woah definitely underappreciated parts 6-9 of SOYCD in my opinion. That jam section in 8 is just so sweet!
First time i heard dark side of the moon i wept it was so beautiful.
I personally for a while didn’t like A Momentary Lapse of Reason. I always shat on its 80s production and sound. But recently revisiting it, I appreciate it so much and think it’s Pink Floyd’s most underrated album. It’s honestly great and I think you should give it another chance, and just embrace its 80s sound. Also wtf Not Now John is like my favorite song on The Final Cut. Which is an album I really don’t like at all. I was surprised to see it as your least favorite song lol.
I would say you’re a bit harsh on the Gilmour phase of Floyd, in particular I think High hopes is one of the best PF songs overall, but other than that I completely agree with what you’ve said and moreover I think your opinions were explained extremely well!
There is a huge part of high hopes reminiscent of welcome to the machine
This is a very complete video. I love your passion and analysis.
Waters does not sing on Welcome to the Machine. It’s Gilmour with his voice slowed down.
I hate knowing that I will never create anything as fantastic as these guys did!
The live version of A Saucerful of Secrets was the song that got me into Pink Floyd. Upwards from there.
I love The Divison Bell not gonna lie. Just me I guess.
No not just you, post waters period is very interesting, from a musical point of view, and the themes of absence, separation, lack of communication, regrets, lack of reason. It s an essential point of view on their past.
Pf theme of past is omni present : post Syd, post Waters, post second war...
I feel it is also a far mor optimistic period thanks to Gilmour, not so intense of course, but he tells us, we made mistakes, we fight against each others, but we have to keep on talking to create and live together in peace. It may seem evident and simple to say but when you have lived a long life you know perfectly what he means, that is just the hardest part of our lives.
The pf post Waters albums are a positive answer to their previous ones. Yes the sun is eclipsed by the sun, but that is not the end sun will shine bright for next generations : -)
Division Bell is on my top 3 Floyd albuns, alongside Meddle and Wish You Were Here. Division Bell is such an underrated album...
The Division Bell has stood the test of time in my eyes.
It is indeed a superb album!
Momentary Lapse of Reason is my favorite Floyd album, but to this day I have not heard the original version. The 2019 remix of the album with all the additional keyboards replaced by stuff recorded by Wright and all drums newly rerecorded by Mason was my first Floyd album and continues to be my favorite. I highly recommend the remix, as I feel it brings something out in the music that I worry may not be in the original eighties mix. The only track from said mix that I have heard is One Slip, and it pails in comparison to the 2019 version.
My ranking of all their albums:
1 - Wish You Were Here
2 - The Division Bell
3 - Meddle
4 - Animals
5 - The Wall
6 - Atom Heart Mother
7 - Dark Side of The Moon
8 - Piper At The Gates of Dawn
9 - Saucerful of Secrets
10 - Momentary Lapse of Reason
11 - The Final Cut
12 - The Endless River
13 - Ummagumma (only counting studio, if live is counted, then it's 10th place)
@Kaden Banta-Martin @Kaden Banta-Martin I don't considered More nor Obscured By Clouds because they're soundtracks. But if it were to be considered, More would be between Final Cut and Endless River and Obscured By Clouds would be between Dark Side and Piper At The Gates of Down. And The Division Bell is 2nd place, it's right there. I know it's an unpopular opinion, but I love The Division Bell.
My rankings of the albums I have listened to so far:
1) Animals
2) The Wall
3) The Dark Side Of The Moon
4) Wish You Were Here
5) Atom Heart Mother
6) Meddle
7) Obscured By Clouds
A nice video
My personal favourite is the final cut
Their forgotten album is animals
And their best is wish you were here
Nice to see a another Final Cut fan
Tosiuviki :/ ye definitely , a lot of people don’t really like it they say it’s depressing but if you can see that the music an Dave’s solos is phenomenal I love it an always have since the day it came out 👌
Rush retrospective would be awesome
If you can't soundproof your room, it's ok to have the mic in the frame. If it's closer you can turn it down enough to get rid of some of the "room sound" that's plaguing your voiceover. Unless you're using a lav mic, in that case just put that thing in a drawer somewhere and sever all ties. Liked and Subscribed thanks for a great video!
My favourites:
1. Wish you were here, wich includes my fav theme in Rock History: Shine on you crazy diamond
2 and 3. Dark side and The wall
4.Animals
5.Meddle
6 Obscured by clouds
I also like The piper at the gates of dawn but I cannot rate it because it's a different artist to me. It was Barrett's band basically and the style was unique and very personal. I know that it was rather influential about the subsequent music of the band but Pink Floyd evolved and developed massively afterwards so it's a different animal to me.
Greetings from Spain.
what is your number2?
@@inkscopez6070 I can't choose between Dark side and The wall
@@josemiguelcarrizo7373 oh my bad i didnt get it lol
i swear every pink floyd listener totally overlooks animals but every critic praises the shit out of it. which makes me happy
Damn great video
