Tricky. I'll go with Ummagumma, because of the live disc included, which has two songs from Saucerful in a much better version, plus Astronomy Domine and Careful with that Axe, Eugene. And the studio album has a few good song too (though I must admit Saucerful is stronger than this).

So, what happened with the loser's round in which Animals may find it's way back in the tournament?

The Losers Round will commence after the "official" tournament has concluded, just so that there's no confusion.

Ummagumma, the inclusion of the live disc helps a lot.

I guess it's too late to vote, but my vote would have gone with "Ummagumma." I'm in the minority, I guess, in preferring the studio album to the live album, but for me, this is where the Floyd of DSOTM and WYWH begins to emerge, on the two vocal cuts ("Grantchester Meadows" and the way-under-rated "Narrow Way"). The other, instrumental, cuts are fine too. This is Floyd coming into their own. (OF course, SAUCERFUL's a great album, but it shows the band still under Barrett's shadow.)

Both solid 4 star albums to me, Ummagumma is superior though imo.

Umma Gumma. The studio album is great and those live tracks show an entirely different wild side of that band. Essential stuff. |

Ummagumma, it took a while before I could appreciate it, but now it's my 3rd favorite Pink Floyd album, only exceeded by Meddle and Atom Heart Mother. Yes, I love the time when all the band contributed to their music and not just Waters, Barrett or Gilmour.

Ummagumma was my first Pink Floyd album - and my first experience with the band. It was somewhat randomly picked-out in the CD-shop by a 14-year-old who had little of knowledge Pink Floyd and was and was somewhat curious. It looked nice, and I was lured by the "two CDs at the prize of one". It even came with a nice poster.
I had never heard anything like it. I listened to it intensely and grew slowly fonder of it. Primarily the live disc, in particular - Careful with that Axe, Eugene - made a huge and long-lasting impression. I still love that disc. The studio disc is.. - I'm still not sure. A Saucerful of Secrects was bought successively some point later. I liked it very much immediately - and it ranks as my favourite Pink Floyd album (In sharp and everchanging conflict with Piper). I somehow see how it gets classified as "A Saucerful of Syd Barret imitations." But one-to-one immitations of Barrett is impossible, and I assume the band was aware of that. They made - to some extend and probably accidentally - their own thing on Sauceful of Secrets, which in many respects differs considerably from Piper. Most significantly, it introduced a more "innerspacial" form of psychedelia. On the inner-sleeve of my (reissue) copy of Tangerine Dream's "Electronic Meditation" you read. "...it was most definitely Pink Floyd that gave inspiration to their lengthy guitar/organ freakouts. Floyd's trippy Saucerful of Secrets had obviously found it's way onto a turntable or two in underground Berlin" It probably doesn't stand a chance - but, really, it is the best Pink Floyd album..
