I would rather think Meddle is the one that started that chain... even if it's not as great as the other 3... but it's got Echoes, which for me is the first Floyd song of the new sound (well, that and One of this Days). But Obscured by clouds sort of breaks the chain for me... it is a nice listen and all, but it just isn't in the same category.

I find it odd that "Dark Side of the Moon","Wish You Were Here" and "Animals" are regarded as the unbroken string of three great albums, as I always thought "Obscured By Clouds" was the start of that chain? Even though it was recorded in less time than what they later had, it's got a wonderful group dynamic to it. More than one writer for a start!

This is one of the few Pink Floyd albums I still haven't gotten yet. BTW, you made a little typo in the album's title in the thread's title.

Absolutely Curtains is maybe the worst thing PF has ever done.

Under appreciated PF album. Went with Mudmen although it could have been Burning Bridges, Wots Uh the Deal, Childhoods End or Stay. Lots of Wright on this album. Big fan of it

Not among my favourite Pink Floyd albums but still a very pleasant one.

Mudmen is my pick of the bunch. Such a great album I've had since 1987, loved it for a while, forgot about it for years, and love now more than ever !

It doesn't seem to be a very popular opinion, but my favourite here is Mudmen. I really love the guitar on that one.

I like the two opening tracks, record was to weak for my collection. I have only permitted myself to have 300 vinyls.

I love the whole album and I was about to vote for the Wright's beautiful Bridges Burning. Free Four is the prequel to The Dark Side Of the Moon in terms of lyrics, and Wot's... Uh the Deal? is great to play with an acoustic guitar. Obscured by Clouds is a great intro to the album....but my vote goes to Stay. The guitar work with that wah-wah...yes, it's mainly a pop song but I like it so much...
