I think Ummagumma is the best album out of these, and because of that I'm voting for More. I love that album, and even if I gave it a 4 - it feels like a scoundrel that I somehow always return to. More is perhaps the Floyd album I think I've played the most over the years... Strange.

Even the awful recent compilation with rubbish artwork?



I see it for the first time, but effectively I'm not a fan of compilations by any band.

It was tough...between "Piper" and the universally hated "The Final Cut".  I've said before that I much prefer "The Final Cut" to "The Wall", but how could I not go for the crazy genius of Syd Wacko

I voted for "Piper".

Ummagumma for the Live album, it's wonderful. Second goes to Saucerful Of Secrets.

The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn.

Fantastic album, and probably my personal favorite of the band's output. I don't think I would have appreciated, let alone liked, a lot of music I listen to today if it wasn't for that album.

1. The Division Bell
2. Saucerful of Secrets
3. Momentary Lapse
I am currently digging:

Hawkwind, Rare Bird, Gong, Tangerine Dream, Khan, Iron Butterfly, and all things canterbury and hard-psych. I also love jazz!

Please drop me a message with album suggestions.

The Division Bell for me, as good as anything they ever did. Though I did consider Ummagumma, specially for the live album, though the studio one has some rather hard to digest moments (but still some very nice ones too).

I know it gets a lot of hate, but I've always loved The Final Cut.

AMLOR for me. A remarkably good album although I understand why so many people dislike the eighties production. The live album is great though.

I'm truly surprised that so many voted for Division Bell......a very mediocre record imo.
