    Regarding A Momentary Lapse Of Reason, not only was it a great album, but it was presented on one of the band's most successful tours, which would later give rise to Delicate Sound Of Thunder, an excellent live double album that would also include great versions of several classic songs. It also had a great reception from the public, despite negative reviews from some media and Roger Waters... and was also recognized as a platinum record in the USA. It is true that it was a big change of style but you cannot say that it is bad, no way! Congratulations on the channel! Greetings

    Another great job. Over the last few years Animals has pulled into a tie with DSOTM as my favorite Floyd album. It all has to do with the 2018 remix which I think is amazing. It is the one Floyd remaster/remix that they have done that clearly beats the original. I think Gilmour really shines on this album.

    I largely concur. The line from Your Possible Pasts "in derelict sidings the poppies entwine, with cattle trucks waiting in line for the next time" Is my fav PF lyric. The guitar solo on this track is a beauty of economy and power too, so this track alone saves The Final Cut. Atom Heart Mother similarly gets saved by the guitar solo on Funky Dung, which is one of the first solos I came across that strayed away from the blues pentatonic into the world of modes.

      @@top5records796 From a strict musical point of view (not talking about storytelling) The Wall would have been a great single album. Unfortunately, as a double album it is tainted by too many fillers and, for me, side four is a "skip-side". Moreover, despite a great sequence of beautiful guitar solos by Gilmour it does not sound floydish : it is a Waters/Ezrin brainchild with even a disco-oriented hit single. I do like ABITW but it does not embed the magical Floyd's soundprint. On the other hand, AHM is an almost perfect record: if the last song on side b would have been absent or replaced it would have been a perfect album. Experimental without being harsh, ambitious, lyrical and, above all: it surprises the listener. A quality that only great albums have. PF ended with Animals: their last great album.

    Hello there!
    I prefer this PF ranking compared to the old one I watched of yours which I somehow remember was much more harsh 😅😅😅
    The Wall used to be my absolute #1 PF record, but now it’s no longer entering my top 5. I have to say, over the time, I’ve become really tired of Waters’ “endless shouting”. For example, I believe Waters’ best solo work is undoubtedly Is This the Life We Really Want, where Nigel Godrich essentially forced him to be more concrete and shout less.
    My ranking nowadays would be the following.
    1. Wish You Were Here
    2. The Dark Side of the Moon
    3. Animals
    4. Meddle
    5. The Division Bell (sorry!)
    6. The Wall

    A momentary lapse of reason is actually one of my favourite Floyd albums, and I prefer the original synth sounding 1987 version. I also love About face, Gilmour and Radio Kaos also from 1987/Waters. Now, perhaps that is because I got into pink Floyd when these albums were being released and that sound was very modern and appealing to me at 15 years old. Now, my favourite flouts album has always been animals. Amused to death a close second. So, this is interesting. I agree with you on so much, other stuff, totally different taste. Division bell and the endless river are both horrible albums. When Polly Samson got involved it became painfully embarrassing. So it is interesting to see your list. Things we are spot an in agreement, while other albums that mean so much to me, you can’t tolerate. Pretty funny.

    My rankings are as follows :
    1) Wish You Were Here (they topped Dark Side as far as I'm concerned and how they pulled off playing the whole album live in 1977 was amazing)
    2) The Division Bell (I didn't miss Roger's dour musings which plagued his later work and it was a band again and I saw the tour which was amazing)
    3) Meddle (grown over the years in ranking and it was a true band album)
    4) Atom Heart Mother (band may disagree but masterpiece)
    5) Obscured by Clouds (written after Dark Side but recorded before and David and Rick wrote most of the music and David got over his writers block he had on The Dark Side of the Moon writing sessions)
    6) The Dark Side of the Moon (radio overplay but can't deny the album of course and if I listen nowadays it's a live 1972-75 official or unofficial recording or the 1994 version on PULSE album taken from various shows)
    7) A Momentary Lapse of Reason Updated and Remixed (if David hadn't re-recorded Nick's drums and added Rick via technology to the album and removed most of the 1980s stuff it would have been lower and also the live reading on Delicate Sound is more Floydian)
    8) The Piper at the Gates of Dawn (Mono is my go to)
    9) A Saucerful of Secrets (prefer in Mono)
    10) The Endless River (this is just amazing music and I play top to bottom, was supposed to be disc two of The Division Bell but Pink Floyd did what Led Zeppelin did with Coda, Queen did with Made in Heaven and The Beatles with Let it Be, added new instruments, vocals and sections to the outtakes)
    11) The Early Singles
    12) The Wall (I still love it but was Roger's ego getting out of control and it was better in 1980-81 live)
    13) Animals (again, Roger's ego trip starting to form and after hearing Bootleg recordings the original album I don't listen to much, the remix is lower)
    14) More
    15) Ummagumma
    16) The Final Cut (the 1983 version)
    17) Zabriskie Point
    18) A Momentary Lapse of Reason (1987 Mix)
    19) Animals 2018 Remix
    20) The Final Cut 2004 Revised Edition

    The original space cadets, Pink Floyd struggled in the early days. It wasn't bad enough Syd Barrett was affected by the drug scene then exploding in London, but the band didn't connect with record buyers right away. The first album was so far ahead of its time, even with its flaws, nothing else was like it. Top 40 was in full control, in the US, and the Floyd didn't fit in, so their singles did generate any airplay until Money, in May, 1973. After that, the stunning Dark Side dropped, and Pink Floyd was the band of bands, overnight. For the rest of the decade, Pink Floyd could do no wrong.
    Things weren't well, in the band, and hadn't been, for a while. Roger Waters felt imposed on, and his songs exploring the impact the death of his father before he was born had run their course. The final album by the band we'd all known for tem years was anticlimactic, a leaden farewell, after the theatrics of The Wall. The dream was over, reality, and time, had set in, taken their toll, leaving shell-shocked survivors.
    I bought the top 12 on or near release dates, have copies of the other two, vinyl, CD, and digital, but never listen to anything on either of them.
    Best of Pink Floyd

    My ranking would be probably something like this. I do love Final Cut, nothing else sounds like that, that unapologetic sadness. The Wall is uneven, where it's great it's great, and I agree that Atom Heart Mother is underrated (by the band itself!). I enjoy Obscured By Clouds a lot and I appreciate Endless River for what is, just a loose cuts compilation.

  • @robertmorgan9205
    @robertmorgan9205 5 місяців тому

    My top 2 have always been DSOTM and Meddle with Division Bell and Momentary Lapse being bottom. Like you, I think High Hopes is a good track but as far as Momentary even the remix proves you can’t polish a turd. I’d have Atom Heart and Ummagumma in the third and fourth with Piper being fifth. The Wall could make a great single album though I still think of it as a great concept, although bloated. WYWH was a massive disappointment for me back in 75 when I bought it and remains so (apart from Shine On of course). It’s that track alone (all parts) that keeps it in my top 6.
