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 think I’m gonna do a comparison on that Animals 2018 remix. It is really interesting.

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

Thank you! A Momentary Lapse of Reason - it's a real masterpiece. Magic album. It's surprising that many people don't hear this.

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.

Don't care for rhe entire album, but the Gunner's Dream is outstanding

@@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.

Tell that to Zeus or Hades ;-)

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

How could Kubrick want music from an album for 2001, three years before being released? He did ask the band if he could use AHM for ACO, though. Right director and band, but wrong film and album.

I guessed dark side of the moon was your favorite album after hearing your least favorite album. I’m not gonna watch the video, but I’m curious where you picked the soundtrack from More, that is such a good album. If you picked it higher than 10, I suggest revisiting it. So good.

Each opinion is legit but, for my ears, it is a weak album by waters (not PF) but it is very well crafted. Better than whatever came out during the Gilmour's era. MLOR is what I think being their worst album

@@top5records796 Every member of the band had misgivings over Atom Heart Mother, notably Waters and Gilmour who said the band was "out of ideas" and "scraping the barrel" at that point in time. Yet somehow you manage to pluck "masterpiece" out of that flaming turd.

I do respect your point of view but for me each and every single day AHM over MLOR. AHM is a challenging record full of musical surprises. Conversely, MLOR is an ordinary record with an eighties sound I find horrible. That said, I am only here to exchange with PF aficionados not to juge what your legit taste likes. Let's keep listening what we like.

The Wall is nice to listem , but not among Top 5 ať all.

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.
