Looking again at my recent series of Pink Floyd album polls, I saw that these three albums each were left way behind the other two in each of their polls.

More was way behind PATGOD & ASOS, OBC was way behind DSOTM & WYWH, and TFC was way behind Animals & The Wall.

So let's give these three relatively-overlooked albums a second chance, in a poll of their own.

Obscured is my favorite of these three, followed by More, and then The Final Cut even though I admit it has higher artistic substance to it.

Obscured by Clouds is one of my favorites by them anyways - it's a unique crossing point between their early years and their classic period with a heavier than normal edge.

Final Cut and More each have their moments but overall I find both tedious, overdrawn and unnecessary. I consider more a pure film soundtrack - ObC is also a soundtrack but doesn't play like one.

More.  Both as music, and film.  Clouds, second and Cut third.

Close between The Final Cut and More. I give the edge to TFC, though, because of songs like The Memorial Fletcher Home and the title track.
