Complete bullshit statement. Some Floyd sucks donkey balls. It's not a matter of opinion when you have nearly universal consensus. Thats how we define reality
The difference being Momentary Lapse of Reason is a pile of shit, Final Cut is up there with Animals and Saucerful of Secrets as their best. That said, One Slip and if it weren't for the mellow instrumental break Learning To Fly are great 80's pop rock songs.
It may be, but it's not great. Could have been so much better by changing the track listing and using more of the fabulous organ playing that Rick did.
Hell, that's even worse than a cash grab. "Hey, remember those bits of rubbish that didn't made the cut for the Division Bell's pointless instrumentals? Let's honor Rick with that." Nick: "Well, we could just play the songs Rick wanted Floyd to play live again." Dave "Comfortably Numb" Gilmour glares, silencing yet another Floyd upstart. Years later, Nick "Hey, I can do it myself."
can agree, as a Pink Floyd fan the one song I ALWAYS HEAR on the radio is Another Brick Pt2, it's as if the stations forgot they have more then one song.
William Magee By the time animals was released, Pink Floyd achieved success and still remained very progressive, then with the wall they just took a piece from the story to release a single (a piece that is the easiest to take away from it all)
The fact that The Wall loops is so trippy, it could be saying that Pink falls back into his isolation and addiction or it represents other people building their own walls, it’s a really dark album and that’s why it’s amazing. To top it off, the transition from “Outside the Wall” to “In the Flesh” is genius because; 1. There’s a hidden piece of Roger talking and 2. At the start of “In the Flesh”, whatever the instrument is it becomes super quiet, tricking first time listeners to turn it up and then their eardrums are destroyed by the guitar. It’s amazing.
One of the instruments in the beginning of In The Flesh? is a clarinet, though there’s another that I believe is some sort of free-reed instrument like an accordion or melodica
@@wyattscheller8026 I interpreted it as another ‘pink’ being born. A cycle of war creating more fatherless, sheltered children falling into isolation and fascist ideas, leading to more division and potentially another war.
I’m 41 and started listening to Floyd at around 14 years old. The Wall was my favorite album through my teens. That switched to Animals in my 20’s-mid 30’s. Then for about 4 years it was Meddle (because of the Live Pompeii concert). Now it’s obscured by clouds. It’s interesting to me how my musical tastes have changed throughout my life but one common theme is that Pink Floyd will forever be my favorite band.
Same. I just want to add that I started as a Waters-oriented Pink Floyd fan, and now I'm Gilmour-oriented. Actually I like Gilmour solo albums a lot too.
I'm 13, I recently started listening to this band. It's really good. My favorite song is probably... Time for DSOTM, Comfortably Numb for The Wall, and Echoes for whatever the hell that album was called.
the wall is my favourite album but high hopes is my favourite pink floyd song, high hopes tells the story of their careers and talk about diversity in society and a lot of controversial things, high hopes is a story in itself snd thats why i love it so much
That picture of Syd Barret after he went insane makes me feel so uncomfortable. There’s just something about it that makes you feel empty and cold. It’s 1 in the morning and after seeing that I’m not sleeping for a bit
Oh man welcome to the machine is such a good song, personally I can't choose between that one, breath, shine on you crazy diamond, man there's way to many tbh but those 3 have to be in the top
I remember listening to Time for the first time while star watching with my girlfriend on top of a hill on her porch. Pink Floyd is just pure ear candy
@steven Brunton You're right. I saw a documentary on it today. Its a continuation of The Division Bell really, but not released at the time. I love that it has Wright's keyboard playing in it though and some moments in it are fantastic bits of music
steven Brunton uh, if it was for money it would of been more expensive than what it was, would of been labelled as limited edition, would of been labeled the last pink Floyd album, probably would of been made a solo album too but with slight alterations. That’s money making, putting together pieces of old songs and putting it out there isn’t really money making, especially when you can listen to the entire thing on Spotify.
It's more so that the other songs are alright, but One Of These Days and Echoes blow them out of the water(s). A Pillow of Winds and San Tropez are still alright.
So whoever reading this, if you HAVEN'T seen 'Echoes live at Pompeii' by pink Floyd, do yourself a favor and watch it all, it's an absolute masterpiece and very arguably the best song they made.
Ive seen it a couple of times since it appeared on RUclips. It used to be my favorite floyd song but ive kinda drifted away from that sound and nowadays my favorite album would be Division bell.
I was 15 when The Wall was released, living in a boys’ home with other rejects. We were huge fans of DSOTM, WYWH and Animals. None of those albums prepared is for The Wall. We were spellbound. Each and every one of us felt the record in a very personal way. We had each built our walls and we understood all of it on an emotional level. At the same time, it was so liberating. A battle cry. One of my favorite memories is of the night a friend and I got caught driving in a snow storm and had to go really slow. We turned the radio off and sang The Wall from start to finish, improvising the instrumental parts by making weird noises. We knew every guitar solo. The thing is in our DNA. And it has aged well! Thank you for this list.
Just want to point out that the whole point of the release of The Endless River was to pay homage to Richard Wright and use previously recorded keyboard tracks they had of Richard. They werent trying to make a hit record; they were just paying their respects in a way. Just wanted to point that out because u seemed to miss the purpose of the album and saying that david was just wanting to exploit the name for money was a bit offensive when he was actually just trying to show the world some great ambient keyboard recordings Richard had made. Other than that great video man
@@dereklewis4321 I'll always defend Ummagumma. It had the potential to be a 10/10 masterpiece. Sysyphus has some amazing parts, Grantchester Meadows is gorgeous, Several Species is very interesting, Narrow Way part 2 is really good and Grand Vizier has interesting ideas. Not to mention the live album, which is mindblowing.
Pink floyd: *releases Dark side* Well, what shall we do now that we have one of the best álbums ever Made? *releases wish You where here* wow, now WTF we Will do after make two of the best álbums ever Made?! *Releases Animals* holy shait what we gonna do after three fucking Best albums ever Made? *Releases the wall* AND NOW THEY ARE 4 OMG *Releases the final cut* awww fuck
@@perfectwhine742 Your right. Although I doubt you've listened to all those albums in full. But if it isn't your style it isn't your style. Simple as that.
The Wall is brilliant. I understand why it's not everyone's favorite, it has a "drier" sound than other albums, but there's some truly underrated gems, like Goodbye Blue Sky, Young Lust, Nobody's Home and both In the Flesh's, in addition to the usual great songs.
The Endless River is a beautiful homage to everything Pink Floyd was. You can hear almost every sound the band used over the years on it. It's also a beautiful tribute to Richard Wright. Very underrated album.
Considering that members of The Orb worked on Endless River, and The Orb made trance remixes of most of Pink Floyd's albums, they're worth listening to.
On the wall you can hear in the end of the song "outside the wall"(the last song of the album) someone saying "isn't this where" and in the song "in the flesh?"(first song of the album) you can hear right in the beginning "we came in?" So it makes a whole sentence "isn't this where we came in?" Which makes it a perfect loop
I’ve been trying to figure out what he was saying for the past three days lmao. I love the wall, but there’s just so much to unpack that when you listen to it you notice something new every time.
Correction. "isn't this where we first came in?" It took me years of listening, over and over again, to work this out. And then I read it in a magazine, six weeks later.
Hands down all time favorite song is “Dogs” it’s long as hell and I probably annoy people when I show them it but just it tells a great story and I relate to the lyrics a lot too growing up
Yes division bell is awesome and its way better than the final cut, and momentary lapse is better than final cut as well, this kid is annoying, just wanna punch him in the dome....
How old are you? I’ve been listening to Pink Floyd for 50 year. I may not agree with your ranking, but I’m very impressed with your devotion and your knowledge. The are one of a kind!. Track by track. Bravo to you.
I'm 28 and mine started by hearing the wall and dark side on mom and dads record player and them telling me about them going to see the wall live, when cd's became a thing they got echoes, the division bell and wish you were here and i listened to all of those too. my favourite song might be wish you were here because i love the line "did you exchange a walk on part in a war for a lead role in a cage" but i love high hopes too. i saw an older guy at work recently with a floyd shirt i'd never seen before and complemented him on it he asked me for my favourite floyd line and i quoted the one above, i guess he was checking to see if i would quote one of the more mainstream songs like another brick in the wall or money or something. he nodded at my suggestion of best line and told me i had good taste :D
Dark side of the moon will always be my favorite just because of the time in my life I discovered it. Time literally made me cry when I listened to it, and Brain Damage is also so good. I know its normie, but I just love it.
It's your favorite. There's no 'best' when it comes to subjective, opinion-based stuff. I love Us and Them, Comfortably Numb, and Shine On You Crazy Diamond, but that's only my opinion. I'm sure we're all collectively glad Floyd existed as a band, though.
@@rikk319 it is painfully obvious that is an opinion. When somebody makes a passionate statement, just let them make it, no need to tell them it is only their opinion. Quite sure they are aware.
I'm a big fan of the Endless River honestly. I'm a sucker for instrumentals, but it is a sequel to the Division Bell, and takes a lot from it. I prefer Talkin Hawkin over Why Won't You Talk To Me though. The Gilmour stuff has a different feel to it than the Waters stuff, which doesn't work for a lot of people. Personally though, I think the Barrett era was the strongest overall. It's just pure psychedelia, and I love it. I still think Dark Side is best though. Probably.
The Trial is what made Pink Floyd click for me too. I played The Wall while riding my bike, not paying too much attention to the album, and for that reason I didn’t like it much at first. But The Trial distracted me, and made me pay attention to it. After that I liked the wall ALOT.
@William Magee i get your point however when the only reason you dont like an album is because Rodger Waters isnt in it...then i have to ask are you a Pink Floyd fan or a Rodger Waters fan?
Macc Attacc wish you were here and the wall definitely don’t feel cohesive though. Have a Cigar and Welcome to the Machine are good songs but they don’t really relate to the overall idea of the album. And The Wall has great moments but half of the album is filler.
Any Piper fans? It’s one of my all time favourite records and one of the finest most honest pieces of art ever created. Syd is the greatest artist to ever live.
If Roger Waters is listening, I think that since he has brought back *The Wall* he should take a look into bringing back *The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn* in memory of bandmate Syd Barrett.
I will never forget the first time I heard that album. My mom bought the cd for the car and put it in after shopping. I had not really “taken in” pink floyd before. But it was my first real introduction aside from hearing the basics on the radio. I was hooked ever since
@@mickeymurphy2487 always interesting how different music taste can be. I absolutely love Pink Floyd's sound and in my opinion the unreachable peak in music history
@LegoGuy87 In all honesty, most of my negative feelings about Radiohead come from Kid A. I'll probably piss off a lot of people when I say this, but I can not stand that album and everything about it sonically. To me, Kid A is 50 minutes of tedious, banal, and pretentious electronica that never actually goes anywhere. Measured as a rock album, it is absolute crap. If you like that kind of stuff, all the power to you, but it just isn't for me. If you weren't too infuriated by that rant, could you please recommend me the album of theirs that has the fewest things in common with Kid A?
Wish You Were Here is my favorite Pink Floyd album. When I first heard it my mind was blown, the switch from Have a Cigar to WYWH was so amazing. When I bought it for myself, I was in a really dark place, I had been stood up on a date and I was really sad about it, since I hadn't been on a date in a long time. I went home and instantly listened to it and nearly cried. I wished that she was there, and she wasn't. It holds a really close place to my heart, and I love it so much.
“fanaticism” He said his favourite is Roger Waters. He didn’t say he worshiped Waters and thought that all the pink floyd songs without him are terrible.
nasachusetts thank you! The Wall is an outstanding album overall but there’s so much useless filler. Roger was a great songwriter sometimes but The Final Cut is a good example of what happens when he’s given too much input.
I first listened to Meddle when I was searching for One of These Days by Neil Young and accidentally played the first track. And now I love Pink Floyd. Thanks RUclips.
I discovered it from a manga/anime called jojos bizarre adventure and i was listening to it and saw the pompeii version and im really into history so i was like this is interesting hearing that started a very deep love for there music
@@fizzpeak123 I adore echoes, but half that song is freaky noise. Like I said, Animals is such an amazing album with some of my favorite sounds from Pink Floyd, I just don't listen to it unless I know I can listen to the whole song all the way through.
When I first started listening to Floyd, I was a Waters fan. As I’ve listened to more and more Floyd, I’ve definitely switched to being all in on Gilmour. Division Bell and Momentary Lapse of Reason are very under appreciated. They definitely make my way into the Top 5 Floyd Albums 5. The Wall 4. Wish You Were Here 3. Division Bell 2. DSOTM 1. Animals
I'd put Wish You Were Here one space below, but otherwise I agree. If I'm tripping, dogs, pigs and sheep are the way to go. But if I'm just trying to enjoy, DSTOM is my choice. Also, man, one of the most important things things for me is the guitars and the hammond organs, not so much the lyrics. I do like Water's work, I love it, but not as much as Gilmour and Wrights'.
Bogdanmeoff pigs on the wings are not supposed to be climactic in any way. The real climax of the album is the ending to Sheep. “Wave upon wave of demented avengers march cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream” signifies the uprising of the sheep, followed by that kick ass riff after. Pigs on the wing just act as very innocent pieces to differentiate from the bleakness of the rest of the album
For me, Animals is #2, while The Wall is #1. From what I’ve listened to so far, Division Bell is okay, but it isn’t anywhere nearly as powerful or as passionate as The Wall or Animals.
It's an amazing song! Here's me list, I'm new to Pink Floyd 1. Wish You Were Here 2. Comfortably Numb 3. Time 4. Shine on You Crazy Diamond 5. Echoes (Pompeii live version) 6. Another Brick in The Wall 7. Money 8. Mother 9. High Hopes 10. Learning to Fly
My personal list: 14. Ummagumma 13. The Endless River 12. The Final Cut 11. The Division Bell 10. A Saucerful Of Secrets 9. The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn 8. A Momentary Lapse Of Reason 7. Obscured By Clouds 6. Atom Heart Mother 5. The Wall 4. Wish You Were Here 3. The Dark Side Of The Moon 2. Animals 1. Meddle
Great list, young man. The Wall was my introduction to Floyd when it was new when I was 11, been a fan ever since. Great to see a young guy like you appreciate the classics.
@@adventuresofjandk Well for starters they're known to be unoriginal plagurists who fought legal battles because of it. Look it up if you like, but if YOU like the music than don't let that stop you from enjoying a Zeppelin record.
@@dom6366 You realize that music is stolen constantly by other artists, right? The Beatles famously took Twist and Shout and lyrics from a Chuck Berry song. Metallica stole all of the riffs Dave Mustaine wrote for them. Echoes was ripped off by what's his nuts, the dude that wrote Phantom of the Opera. If you're gonna hate on Zeppelin for that, you gotta hate on these bands for the same exact thing, otherwise quit your bitching.
Couldn’t agree more. I’ve always preferred the deeper sounds - DSOTM, Division Bell, Meddle - even Endless River is one of my favorites. The Final Cut felt a lot lazier than Division Bell, and less deep. The only song I really care for on Final Cut is “When the Tigers Broke Free”.
@@owengette8089 you're right, final cut was a lazy album made up of pretty much b sides to the wall. I think it should have been called 'the final straw'. Mind you still a good album and when the Tigers broke free' to me is one of their best songs
Momentary Lapse of Reason is a solid album. I love most of the album: Learning to Fly, Dogs of War, On The Turning Away, Sorrow, One Slip are all incredible songs. I would have it in the top 5 or 6 Pink Floyd albums.
Despite an army of hired guns to write the lyrics, Roger's absence is painfully apparent. No concept, no poetry, no depth. What I don't understand is Gilmour's solo LP, About Face, presumably written by him, had some good songs w- good lyrics.
I definitely agree with The Wall being #1 in terms of the concept and execution of the whole album altogether, however I am torn between DSOTM and Wish You Were Here in terms of how strong the individual songs are. It's incredible how The Wall comes together as a full album but there's definitely a lot of tracks on there that I wouldn't really listen to on their own; whereas on DSOTM especially, as well as Wish You Were Here, every single song is just a masterpiece in and of itself. I agree that the concepts, while great, can't compare to The Wall, but I guess as someone who listens to music on shuffle a lot I personally rank The Wall below those two, and maybe below Animals. But again, it's a totally different metric, so I think when considering each album as a full unit and weighting the conceptual part heavily, The Wall does come out on top. For me, not as enjoyable to listen to, but undoubtedly an incredible work of art.
Great answer, and I would add, the wall was a story and therefore lent itself to the show (and the film to a lesser extent) which further amplified its cohesive nature. That said, there were still many great stand-alone tracks apart from the obvious 'Another Brick' and Sublime 'Comfortably Numb' ...Mother, Goodbye Blue Sky, Hey You, Nobody Home and the epic foot stomper Run Like Hell ...all brilliant and well crafted in their own right.
I feel thats what waters brought to the table in pink floyd. If you take a look optimal pink floyd was waters story telling and lyrics accompanied by the rest of the bands music and creativity. Too much waters and you get poems over GCD (The Final Cut), Too much the rest of the crew and you get some albums with solid songs (MLOR and Division Bell) but that dont make sense lyrically (and in my opinion dont feel cohesive at all). I really would have liked concepts like amused to death and pros and cons been executed by the whole band instead of just Waters. Do you guys imagine amused to death with some sick gilmour solos and soft vocals, wright spatial sound and mason crazy rifts?
One day I decided to make my personal ranking of PinkFloyd songs, so I first listened to Confortably Numb which I immediately put in first place, then I listened to Wish you were here and I put it instead of ConfortablyNumb at first place, then I listened to ShineOnYouCrazyDiamond so I decided to put HIM in first place... It lasted for hours and in the end I listened to ConfortablyNumb again... and I I put it back in the first place. This is an impossible task for me.
@@zackzallie8735 WYWH > Animals > Meddle > TDSOTM > The Wall Edit: I might've confused people using this format but this is my ranking 1. WYWH 2. Animals 3. Meddle 4. The Wall 5. DSotM
5. Wish You Were Here 4. Meddle 3. Dark Side of the Moon 2. Animals 1. The Wall with that said my five favorite songs are 1. Time 2. Fat Old Sun 3. Hey You 4. In the Flesh 5. Dogs
In the album The Dark Side Of The Moon, the album starts with a melow heart bit and in the end of the album, ends with that heart bit fading away, reminding the listener how he was feeling before he started listening to the album and how he is feeling now. Absolutely the best Pink Floyd album ever created, one of my favourite albums out there.
As soon as you said Roger was your favourite band member I saw the number 1 spot coming a mile away. Great list though! The order for the top 5 is incredibly difficult.
The Division bell was to be their last album. Then however, Rick parted in 2014 and The endless river was released as a farewell to him as it was the last material he recorded with them. By the way the name Endless river refers to Ricks passion of sailing. Also if you leave out More, you should also leave out Obscured by clouds, as it is a soundtrack as well. Also also, The Final cut was supposed to be The Wall vol.3. I disagree with you in some points but nice video.
_The Wall_ is my favourite Floyd album, it’s such an incredible story and it’s just so goddamn immersive. And I do honestly agree with you about The Trial, that song is just a massive clusterfuck it’s amazing
Andrew, it may be good, I've listened to it often many years ago as a teenager, but as you get older, you'll find that it is not what it used to be. Definitely can not listen to with your girl or wife, unless you don't care whether she likes it or not and you subject here to it.

I thought the endless river was Gilmours way of showing how much he misses his friend Rick. Its actually very sad.
@steven Brunton I don't think he's particularly worried about money given that he just sold all his guitars for charity.
@steven Brunton You're right. I saw a documentary on it today. Its a continuation of The Division Bell really, but not released at the time. I love that it has Wright's keyboard playing in it though and some moments in it are fantastic bits of music

That’s money making, putting together pieces of old songs and putting it out there isn’t really money making, especially when you can listen to the entire thing on Spotify.
@@Isdale , David is worth 175 million. Don't think he is concerned about money
I cry when I listen to shine on you crazy diamonds

Such an amazing song
I cry when i hear the guitar solos
IMO parts 6-9 are pretty underrated compared to the other parts though
@@rydah7231 Same, the guitar solo in time hits real hard if you play it at the right moments
Best album ever made, but not the best Pink Floyd album, is a perfect way to describe “Dark side of the Moon”
That that Russel and Hilbert! But actually, good point. It sounds incredibly true, tho
For real! The Wall is a masterpiece. But Dark Side of the Moon is special
DSOTM is the perfect album, (or most perfected)
But definitly not the best album of all time.

Thought the same thing ahah
Echoes and One Of These Days were great but they were really the only great songs on the album, the rest were eh
It's more so that the other songs are alright, but One Of These Days and Echoes blow them out of the water(s). A Pillow of Winds and San Tropez are still alright.
@@honeycomblord9384 they were still eh
So whoever reading this, if you HAVEN'T seen 'Echoes live at Pompeii' by pink Floyd, do yourself a favor and watch it all, it's an absolute masterpiece and very arguably the best song they made.
Ive seen it a couple of times since it appeared on RUclips. It used to be my favorite floyd song but ive kinda drifted away from that sound and nowadays my favorite album would be Division bell.
@@DonHaka Very interesting, ive listened to other bands these days but need to expand what I listen to with the Floyd.
It's great. Not the best song they ever made though, not even close.
@@Slycoomer56 What would you say is their best song? Personally.
Echoes has acts which I like
I was 15 when The Wall was released, living in a boys’ home with other rejects. We were huge fans of DSOTM, WYWH and Animals. None of those albums prepared is for The Wall. We were spellbound. Each and every one of us felt the record in a very personal way. We had each built our walls and we understood all of it on an emotional level. At the same time, it was so liberating. A battle cry. One of my favorite memories is of the night a friend and I got caught driving in a snow storm and had to go really slow. We turned the radio off and sang The Wall from start to finish, improvising the instrumental parts by making weird noises. We knew every guitar solo. The thing is in our DNA. And it has aged well! Thank you for this list.
It´s strange how well Spongebob and Pink Floyd go together xD

Nope, not strange at all
Paul blart 2 as well
What
zoidy boop dude. Have I found another person who listens so “till death do us blart”
Just want to point out that the whole point of the release of The Endless River was to pay homage to Richard Wright and use previously recorded keyboard tracks they had of Richard. They werent trying to make a hit record; they were just paying their respects in a way. Just wanted to point that out because u seemed to miss the purpose of the album and saying that david was just wanting to exploit the name for money was a bit offensive when he was actually just trying to show the world some great ambient keyboard recordings Richard had made. Other than that great video man
Well said, man!!
This is an impossible list to make.
Facts
Ummagumma and The Final Cut are pretty awful. Ones a cacophony of individual member songs and the other sounds like the b sides of the wall
@@dereklewis4321 I'll always defend Ummagumma. It had the potential to be a 10/10 masterpiece. Sysyphus has some amazing parts, Grantchester Meadows is gorgeous, Several Species is very interesting, Narrow Way part 2 is really good and Grand Vizier has interesting ideas. Not to mention the live album, which is mindblowing.

The division bell is criminally underrated, i know waters isnt in there but it is still underrated.
I completely agree, it might be my favourite pink Floyd album of all time
The only underrated album here is Animals 🗿
Yh, I agree, high hopes, lost for words, coming back to life, poles apart and take it back are all amazing. So underrated.
High Hopes' is a top 5 song of theirs
The Wall is brilliant. I understand why it's not everyone's favorite, it has a "drier" sound than other albums, but there's some truly underrated gems, like Goodbye Blue Sky, Young Lust, Nobody's Home and both In the Flesh's, in addition to the usual great songs.
Um, Comfortably Numb! Best song and guitar solo ever recorded. Don't forget that one.
Don't forget Don't leave me now
My favorite kind of group of songs from that is In the Flesh through The Trial, so good man

@Thorne bruh early 70's queen too
The Endless River is a beautiful homage to everything Pink Floyd was. You can hear almost every sound the band used over the years on it. It's also a beautiful tribute to Richard Wright. Very underrated album.
Exactly. It sounds like a ride through many of their atmospheres over time.
eh.
Considering that members of The Orb worked on Endless River, and The Orb made trance remixes of most of Pink Floyd's albums, they're worth listening to.
On the wall you can hear in the end of the song "outside the wall"(the last song of the album) someone saying "isn't this where" and in the song "in the flesh?"(first song of the album) you can hear right in the beginning "we came in?" So it makes a whole sentence "isn't this where we came in?" Which makes it a perfect loop
I found that out two days ago and I texted my friend cos I thought it was such a mindfuck
I’ve been trying to figure out what he was saying for the past three days lmao. I love the wall, but there’s just so much to unpack that when you listen to it you notice something new every time.
Correction. "isn't this where we first came in?" It took me years of listening, over and over again, to work this out. And then I read it in a magazine, six weeks later.
"Sitting by the beach with a margarita" is the best way to describe san tropez
Hands down all time favorite song is “Dogs” it’s long as hell and I probably annoy people when I show them it but just it tells a great story and I relate to the lyrics a lot too growing up
I agree with you, one of the best songs they have ever made ^^

My personal favorite is a tie between Comfortably Numb and Money
From The Wall and DSOTM to show I'm not dumb
The Kid Music Critic not being critical, but those sound like some very basic choices.
"Do you like my pig? He's not a very good pig, but he is, a big, pig."

yeah, ummagumma requires shitload of acid. a shitload.
One of the first Pink Floyd songs I heard was Several Species from this album. Instantly knew I needed to hear more.
What this kid doesn't get is that Furry Critters was not even a song. Yet he calls it just that. He doesn't get it.

However, Ummagumma gave us Grantchester Meadows, which is pure art.

@@tejabencic2892 my pink floyd obsession started with me finding The Wall cd in my dad's old collection
I'm 28 and mine started by hearing the wall and dark side on mom and dads record player and them telling me about them going to see the wall live, when cd's became a thing they got echoes, the division bell and wish you were here and i listened to all of those too. my favourite song might be wish you were here because i love the line "did you exchange a walk on part in a war for a lead role in a cage" but i love high hopes too. i saw an older guy at work recently with a floyd shirt i'd never seen before and complemented him on it he asked me for my favourite floyd line and i quoted the one above, i guess he was checking to see if i would quote one of the more mainstream songs like another brick in the wall or money or something. he nodded at my suggestion of best line and told me i had good taste :D

It's your favorite. There's no 'best' when it comes to subjective, opinion-based stuff. I love Us and Them, Comfortably Numb, and Shine On You Crazy Diamond, but that's only my opinion. I'm sure we're all collectively glad Floyd existed as a band, though.

Nah dude
One of my favourite, the sound on this album is just incredible.
True!
I'm a big fan of the Endless River honestly. I'm a sucker for instrumentals, but it is a sequel to the Division Bell, and takes a lot from it. I prefer Talkin Hawkin over Why Won't You Talk To Me though. The Gilmour stuff has a different feel to it than the Waters stuff, which doesn't work for a lot of people. Personally though, I think the Barrett era was the strongest overall. It's just pure psychedelia, and I love it.
I still think Dark Side is best though. Probably.
steven Brunton Go and cry in a corner
The Trial is what made Pink Floyd click for me too.
I played The Wall while riding my bike, not paying too much attention to the album, and for that reason I didn’t like it much at first.
But The Trial distracted me, and made me pay attention to it. After that I liked the wall ALOT.
Wow! Me too!
This is precisely what I felt when listening to it at first.
Yeah the trial is vurry good

Dude, same. I remember specifically I was riding with my mom in Washington DC listening to it.

@William Magee The kid is free to have his own opinion as are you...however im am free to have mine as well...
@William Magee Relax...im not attacking the kid...in fact it was a fair question not one without reason to be asked....geez what are you his Dad?
"Dark Side..." has something that the rest of his albums don´t reach: a coherence, a cohesion and a driving force underneath.
Macc Attacc wish you were here and the wall definitely don’t feel cohesive though. Have a Cigar and Welcome to the Machine are good songs but they don’t really relate to the overall idea of the album. And The Wall has great moments but half of the album is filler.
Nope
Angst yes, and it again it doesn’t really fit in with the the rest of the album.
Alternative title:
Pink floyd: from good to best
Any Piper fans? It’s one of my all time favourite records and one of the finest most honest pieces of art ever created. Syd is the greatest artist to ever live.
If Roger Waters is listening, I think that since he has brought back *The Wall* he should take a look into bringing back *The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn* in memory of bandmate Syd Barrett.

Wish You Were Here is my favorite Pink Floyd album.
When I first heard it my mind was blown, the switch from Have a Cigar to WYWH was so amazing.
When I bought it for myself, I was in a really dark place, I had been stood up on a date and I was really sad about it, since I hadn't been on a date in a long time.
I went home and instantly listened to it and nearly cried. I wished that she was there, and she wasn't.
It holds a really close place to my heart, and I love it so much.
It's certainly the best post Syd album.
The Division Bell just ok? Don’t let your Rogers fanaticism blind you! SMH
“fanaticism” He said his favourite is Roger Waters. He didn’t say he worshiped Waters and thought that all the pink floyd songs without him are terrible.
I though the same Minimal Red:)
Fearless from the album Meddle is probably my all time favorite Pink Floyd song.
Its way to much 70s rock for me. I like the songs on meddle but The wall, tdb and dsotm are much better sonically for me.
nasachusetts thank you! The Wall is an outstanding album overall but there’s so much useless filler. Roger was a great songwriter sometimes but The Final Cut is a good example of what happens when he’s given too much input.
Fearless has probably my favourite guitar riff of all time. It sounded warm and familiar from the first listen
Jake I love how it ends with a crowd singing FC Liverpool’s chant, “You’ll never walk alone.”
The whole meddle album is crazy on acid you've gotta try it.
I first listened to Meddle when I was searching for One of These Days by Neil Young and accidentally played the first track. And now I love Pink Floyd. Thanks RUclips.

@@fizzpeak123 I adore echoes, but half that song is freaky noise. Like I said, Animals is such an amazing album with some of my favorite sounds from Pink Floyd, I just don't listen to it unless I know I can listen to the whole song all the way through.
When I first started listening to Floyd, I was a Waters fan. As I’ve listened to more and more Floyd, I’ve definitely switched to being all in on Gilmour. Division Bell and Momentary Lapse of Reason are very under appreciated. They definitely make my way into the Top 5 Floyd Albums
5. The Wall
4. Wish You Were Here
3. Division Bell
2. DSOTM
1. Animals
I'd put Wish You Were Here one space below, but otherwise I agree. If I'm tripping, dogs, pigs and sheep are the way to go. But if I'm just trying to enjoy, DSTOM is my choice.
Also, man, one of the most important things things for me is the guitars and the hammond organs, not so much the lyrics. I do like Water's work, I love it, but not as much as Gilmour and Wrights'.
I never got the hype for animals. I love the album but like people get really mad if you don’t put it in #1 xD
Bogdanmeoff pigs on the wings are not supposed to be climactic in any way. The real climax of the album is the ending to Sheep. “Wave upon wave of demented avengers march cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream” signifies the uprising of the sheep, followed by that kick ass riff after. Pigs on the wing just act as very innocent pieces to differentiate from the bleakness of the rest of the album
For me, Animals is #2, while The Wall is #1. From what I’ve listened to so far, Division Bell is okay, but it isn’t anywhere nearly as powerful or as passionate as The Wall or Animals.
this man knows!

@@adventuresofjandk Well for starters they're known to be unoriginal plagurists who fought legal battles because of it. Look it up if you like, but if YOU like the music than don't let that stop you from enjoying a Zeppelin record.
@@dom6366 You realize that music is stolen constantly by other artists, right?
The Beatles famously took Twist and Shout and lyrics from a Chuck Berry song.
Metallica stole all of the riffs Dave Mustaine wrote for them.
Echoes was ripped off by what's his nuts, the dude that wrote Phantom of the Opera.
If you're gonna hate on Zeppelin for that, you gotta hate on these bands for the same exact thing, otherwise quit your bitching.
The division bell #10 place??
And final cut above it?
*X doubt*
Joaquín Velázquez the final cut is a very good album, one of my fav
Couldn’t agree more. I’ve always preferred the deeper sounds - DSOTM, Division Bell, Meddle - even Endless River is one of my favorites. The Final Cut felt a lot lazier than Division Bell, and less deep. The only song I really care for on Final Cut is “When the Tigers Broke Free”.
Thanks I won’t finish this video then.
@@owengette8089 you're right, final cut was a lazy album made up of pretty much b sides to the wall. I think it should have been called 'the final straw'. Mind you still a good album and when the Tigers broke free' to me is one of their best songs
@@owengette8089 agreed I really like endless river.
Momentary Lapse of Reason is a solid album. I love most of the album: Learning to Fly, Dogs of War, On The Turning Away, Sorrow, One Slip are all incredible songs. I would have it in the top 5 or 6 Pink Floyd albums.
Absolutely agree its their most underrated album
Ikr, and gated reverb is amazing... Just because something is used a lot doesn't make it bad... gatedreverbkeeper much
Despite an army of hired guns to write the lyrics, Roger's absence is painfully apparent. No concept, no poetry, no depth. What I don't understand is Gilmour's solo LP, About Face, presumably written by him, had some good songs w- good lyrics.
I agree with the dated production stuff, so 80s... but damn, the solo on "on the turning away" is sooooo good, i can easely forgive.
@@Inoxx31 the live version from delicate sound is my favorite solo of all time (I think) lol
Would you rate the word "awesome" as top 3 in your favorite words of all time?
Carl-Richard Løberg your comment is awesome
a saucerful of secrets is THE MOST underrated album in history
ilgin topal meh.
That kazoo is peak floyd
the title cut is definitely my favorite early floyd epic, up 'til AHM
Kesinlikle katılıyorum. 'Set the controls for the heart of the sun'

I definitely agree with The Wall being #1 in terms of the concept and execution of the whole album altogether, however I am torn between DSOTM and Wish You Were Here in terms of how strong the individual songs are. It's incredible how The Wall comes together as a full album but there's definitely a lot of tracks on there that I wouldn't really listen to on their own; whereas on DSOTM especially, as well as Wish You Were Here, every single song is just a masterpiece in and of itself. I agree that the concepts, while great, can't compare to The Wall, but I guess as someone who listens to music on shuffle a lot I personally rank The Wall below those two, and maybe below Animals. But again, it's a totally different metric, so I think when considering each album as a full unit and weighting the conceptual part heavily, The Wall does come out on top. For me, not as enjoyable to listen to, but undoubtedly an incredible work of art.
Great answer, and I would add, the wall was a story and therefore lent itself to the show (and the film to a lesser extent) which further amplified its cohesive nature. That said, there were still many great stand-alone tracks apart from the obvious 'Another Brick' and Sublime 'Comfortably Numb' ...Mother, Goodbye Blue Sky, Hey You, Nobody Home and the epic foot stomper Run Like Hell ...all brilliant and well crafted in their own right.
You just took the words from my mouth, wise man
same
I feel thats what waters brought to the table in pink floyd. If you take a look optimal pink floyd was waters story telling and lyrics accompanied by the rest of the bands music and creativity. Too much waters and you get poems over GCD (The Final Cut), Too much the rest of the crew and you get some albums with solid songs (MLOR and Division Bell) but that dont make sense lyrically (and in my opinion dont feel cohesive at all). I really would have liked concepts like amused to death and pros and cons been executed by the whole band instead of just Waters. Do you guys imagine amused to death with some sick gilmour solos and soft vocals, wright spatial sound and mason crazy rifts?
One day I decided to make my personal ranking of PinkFloyd songs, so I first listened to Confortably Numb which I immediately put in first place, then I listened to Wish you were here and I put it instead of ConfortablyNumb at first place, then I listened to ShineOnYouCrazyDiamond so I decided to put HIM in first place... It lasted for hours and in the end I listened to ConfortablyNumb again... and I I put it back in the first place.
This is an impossible task for me.
Putting The Wall above WYWH and Animals:
Haha, charade you are.
Sauhard Jain the wall is the best pf album
The Wall is amazing, it’s my favorite album of all time, Animals a close second, and DSOTM on third
Animals > WYWH > TDSOTM > The Wall > Meddle
@@zackzallie8735 WYWH > Animals > Meddle > TDSOTM > The Wall
Edit: I might've confused people using this format but this is my ranking
1. WYWH
2. Animals
3. Meddle
4. The Wall
5. DSotM
Sauhard Jain wall is better then wywh but you were right about the other part
The "Sonar" sounds at the beginning of 'Echoes' is Richard Wright's piano through a Leslie speaker cabinet. Just thought I'd add that in.

5. Wish You Were Here
4. Meddle
3. Dark Side of the Moon
2. Animals
1. The Wall
with that said my five favorite songs are
1. Time
2. Fat Old Sun
3. Hey You
4. In the Flesh
5. Dogs
Which In The Flesh?
My favorite songs:
05 Atom heart mother
04 Run like hell
03 Wish you were here
02 Pigs
01 Comfortably numb
I like your lists. I would add Atom Heart Mother somewhere in between though
In the album The Dark Side Of The Moon, the album starts with a melow heart bit and in the end of the album, ends with that heart bit fading away, reminding the listener how he was feeling before he started listening to the album and how he is feeling now. Absolutely the best Pink Floyd album ever created, one of my favourite albums out there.
As soon as you said Roger was your favourite band member I saw the number 1 spot coming a mile away.
Great list though! The order for the top 5 is incredibly difficult.
The Division bell was to be their last album. Then however, Rick parted in 2014 and The endless river was released as a farewell to him as it was the last material he recorded with them. By the way the name Endless river refers to Ricks passion of sailing.
Also if you leave out More, you should also leave out Obscured by clouds, as it is a soundtrack as well.
Also also, The Final cut was supposed to be The Wall vol.3.
I disagree with you in some points but nice video.
Rick died in 2008...
Richard Wright died in 2008 though
Correct, my mistake
I heard that it was a reference to the line “The endless river” in High Hopes
_The Wall_ is my favourite Floyd album, it’s such an incredible story and it’s just so goddamn immersive. And I do honestly agree with you about The Trial, that song is just a massive clusterfuck it’s amazing
Andrew, it may be good, I've listened to it often many years ago as a teenager, but as you get older, you'll find that it is not what it used to be. Definitely can not listen to with your girl or wife, unless you don't care whether she likes it or not and you subject here to it.
"One album that I'm gonna exclude on this list is the More album, because it's technically a film soundtrack and it's not technically a studio album."
*includes Obscured by Clouds, a film soundtrack*
*includes "The Wall",a film soundtrack*
