1st half vs 2nd half: Pink Floyd

I'm really surprised by the results. I expected the second half to be the clear winner... though I did expect the first half the get some love, given that we are in PA. However, though I do like a lot of stuff from the first albums, I must say the second is just awsome, and the band sounds so much more mature, plus, some of my very favourite albums of all are from this bunch of albums: "Wish you were Here", "Animals", "The Division Bell", plus of course I also love "Dark Side of the Moon", and to a lesser degree, "The Wall". Even "Momentary Lapse of Reason" is very good, and "The Final Cut" has it's moments. If I should rate their albums, it would go like this:

- Piper at the gates of Dawn, 3*
- Saucerful of Secrets, 3*
- More, 3*
- Ummagumma, 4*
- Atom Heart Mother, 4*
- Meddle, 4*
- Obscured by Clouds, 3*
Total: 24*

- Dark Side of the Moon, 5*
- Wish you were here, 5*
- Animals, 5*
- The Wall, 4*
- The Final cut, 3*
- A Momentary Lapse of Reason, 4*
- The Division Bell, 5*
Total: 31*

So, I guess I'm a Pink Floyd fanboy...

Middle half (Ummagumma through Animals).

I think it all boils down to how the songs make me feel.

Lemme rephrase that.

Actually equal. When looking at my ranking list and counting the sums of the rankings (the best album gets 1 point, the second best 2, etc.), the first half gets 52 and the second 53 points. So I vote for the first half.

I'll go with the first.

Even though there's some amazing material from the second half, the first was best overall.
