Kind of agree with satie 😲 I think the best tracks on Wall are the ones that gilmour has input in writing. I used to hate all Floyd stuff but over the years I've changed my mind on some of it, to the point of thinking DSOTM is a masterpiece. Still deciding where I stand with wish you were here as the two waters cuts I'm not too sure about. Might stick it on now.

I think it's funny that recent times have brought a backlash against The Wall for sounded bloated, and having ridiculous lyrics, but somehow The Doors has been once again put high on a pedestal.

I can't explain it, but I've always loved The Wall. Sometimes a big, over the top rock opera is exactly what I need. Gilmour's guitar playing is dope. And I love the cynical tone in Waters' vocals.

I've never thought this album as being as much political as it is a descent into madness. It's certainly not like American Idiot, but I can also accept that it's not anywhere near the lyrical realm of Dylan or Cohen.

What you call copious filler is nothing but a double album of good songs to me.

Also, It's excellent because I believe so.

Nope. that's completely ridiculous. I didn't hate it at all, but it was certainly nothing special. Good playing, but borderline elevator music.

Piper, on the other hand is a masterpiece.

Yeah that was a great surprise. Would have loved to see AHM a little higher though, but that's a very subjective choice.

Eh, forgot to do my rankings, not that they're a band I particularly care for. Surprised Ummagumma wasn't higher, but other than that it's pretty much what I expected (except for Meddle being so high, I guess). Interesting that more people voted Piper in first place than anything else, and that obviously those who prefer the post-Syd albums don't hold it in high enough regard for it to have made first place. Like, it's either somebody's favourite or otherwise quite far down the list, which makes a lot of sense but is interesting nonetheless. For what it's worth, it would have been my first place, but I can't complain about the eventual #1. Easily my favourite of the four post-Syd quote unquote classics (Dark Side, Animals, The Wall).

Yeah, 1 & 2 are virtually at the same par. What surprised me is that Animals is 5th...Well, Cuba's ranking series is full of surprises, revealing parts of ourselves that we didn't even know exist... 🤣

No love for post-Waters albums? AMLoR and Division Bell are not that bad. I am surprised AMLoR is last in this ranking.

Good job CubaZed, keep these going. It is interesting to see the forum rankings versus the chart rankings.

OK I didn't vote here because of the 14 I've only heard 6 and I'd rather vote for things I know at least 50% of, but what are these results? Is Division Bell seriously that disliked? Like I'd put it behind The Wall and Wish You Were Here, but that low? I had no idea it wasn't liked, in my circle of friends, its sort of god status, I have a friend who bought the original cassette release, another who had a poster in his room of it and shoes with the cover on them. In fact, I think among the kids I know, they probably are more familiar with Division Bell than any of these but for maybe Dark Side of the Moon ... 🤔 🤔 🤔

Anyhow, I was gonna wait until after results to post my less well informed rating, so here:

1 The Wall
2 Wish You Were Here
3 The Division Bell
4 The Dark Side of the Moon
5 Animals
6 The Piper At The Gates of Dawn

I'm very happy WYWH is number 1. Pleasantly surprised that the rankings don't follow directly the BEA rankings. Nice!
