Unassailable.

1) Animals
2) WYWH
3) Atom Heart Mother
4) Dark side
5) the wall
6) the division bell
7) meddle
8) obscured by clouds
9) more
10) momentary lapse of reason
11) saucerful of secrets
12) the Final Cut
13) piper at the gates of dawn

But it's basically a Roger solo album.

Im not a huge fan of live albums but DSOT has always been one of my favorite PF ones.

Unpopular opinion: The Wall is wildly overrated. Take out Comfortably Numb and the album is very meh to me.

I’ve seen people rave about Echoes, and tons of people love Shine on You Crazy Diamond, while both have almost zero value to me. I think WYWH is a great 3 songs and then a boring waste of the remaining 35 minutes. While for the people who groove on that, the general lack of extended soaring orchestral meanderings in the Final cut makes it a clunker. And similarly your opinion of the wall—probably not a coincidence that you only like Comfortably Numb which has that element to it among all the songs on the album.

Animals is probably the sweet spot that has both to the greatest extent, and Dark Side as well, although it tilts towards the music side.

on any given day I think I'm slightly more likely to choose The Final Cut for an album listen.

I'd put Atom Heart Mother above Dark Side and the Wall.

Next level down is Obscured by Clouds.

Another level down is Meddle. Same format as AHM, but the songs are not nearly as good.

It's hard to do early Floyd and I haven't really tried late Floyd.

I recently listened to Wish You Were Here on a drive and thought it was weaker than I remembered.

Final Cut-Jack: recently listened to the album on Spotify…

…and was confused when it got to that Tiger song that they’d added at some point. And much like almost every “director’s cut”, the choice to edit down the original release was absolutely the correct one. The additional song is mediocre and makes the album worse rather than better.

I don’t generally care for long instrumentals

And WYWH is like 70% instrumental. The title track is an absolutely incredible song, though, I think their best by a pretty substantial margin.

Also, rock artists love to write songs about being rock artists that are of little interest to me. Just like people in Hollywood can’t get enough of movies or tv shows about the entertainment industry, which I have zero interest in watching.
