I really have no interest in The Final Cut, Momentary Lapse of Reason and Division Bell. Out of them I guess I dislike Division Bell the least... But the other 4 albums in the poll, the early ones, are all 4/4.5 star albums in my opinion. Ummugumma > More > Piper At The Gates of Dawn > A Saucerful of Secrets.

Always thought 'Momentary Lapse of Reason was sufficiently realized.

I got Saucerful first followed by Piper, Ummagumma and More but I love all four. Got no time for the later three albums.

In my opinion this poll missed the boat on a few albums. I would say the classic era is from DSOTM to the Wall. I know that's only four albums that span only about six or seven years but those are by far their best selling albums. So with that in mind the few right after Ummagumma but before DSOTM are missing(imo).

I think I would add Atom Heart Mother, OBC and Meddle also.Not sure why they weren't included. Anyway, probably Ummagumma but I haven't heard it in a  while.

^Well, I think in Atom Heart they really took a giant step, they change to psychedelic orchestra to prog orchestra. Although there are long pieces in Ummagumma, no-one of them has the same greatness & maturity as Atom Heart. Also, if there had been Atom Heart or Meddle, they would have easily win this poll.

PF is my favorite band... I (and probably many others) would have picked Meddle otherwise, which I think is the start to great Pink Floyd up until The Wall.... The Final Cut isn't one for simple listening pleasures, but lyrically, and thematically (the post-war dream theme) it's good.. Momentary Lapse has awful production, and no songs that get me.. Same with TDB -- the only song I won't change is "What Do You Want From Me?"
