Dark SideAnimalsThe Wall Mine is a bit different. 1. The Final Cut I'm assuming you're joking about The Final Cut? And Steevo, not even close for me. I know everyone loves to site their super popular 1973-1979 period as their best, and while I agree that all their albums from that period were great (even though The Wall I find way too depressing to listen to these days, and I've felt that way for many years), their early pre-Dark Side album period is still my favorite and is criminally underrated. Yes, Dark Side is arguably their best album, but I go back and forth between that one and The Piper at the Gates of Dawn. This is roughly my Pink Floyd album order: 1. The Dark Side of the Moon2. The Piper at the Gates of Dawn (fights for #1 position)3. A Saucerful of Secrets4. Meddle5. Ummagumma6. Atom Heart Mother7. Animals8. Wish You Were Here9. More10. The Wall11. Obscured By Clouds12. A Momentary Lapse of Reason13. The Division Bell14. The Final Cut If you add in The Early Singles (compilation of their 1967 & 1968 mostly non-album A & B sides), that would take likely take the #1 spot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReRushed Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I like the album The Final Cut, but I love the song "The Final Cut". It's locked in my top five Pink Floyd songs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's much more a solo Roger Waters album, and it's depressing as f*ck. it makes The Wall seem like an feel good romantic comedy in comparison.

I guess there are some people out there who think Islands is the best 70's King Crimson album too, so WTF do I know? It is depressing in many ways, and it certainly doesn't get less so with the last track being about the end of the world. Still, if you think about it in terms of a story being told, it's actually quite brilliant. I'm just glad that the hideous junk that was rejected was recorded for Roger's first actual solo album. Now THAT was bad. :X 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it's atypical of the Floyd style and did cause a lot of drama, it has a lot of what may arguably be some of the most emotionally powerful stuff in the whole catalogue. Yes, that was always the clincher for me. It's a very emotional album, ball-achingly sad in places and it suited my teenage(and lets face it, Floyd music is awesome for teenage & forever-teenage minds!) pacifist mind, it grabbed me straight away, and never left me. Plus, its very melodic, with some great playing from Gilmour, Andy Bown, Ray Cooper & Andy Newmark. And, I've been critical of him in the past, but Michael Kamen's arrangements are bang on the money. And, I love Rog's lyrics on it. His dad, his love life, WWII, the Falklands, nuclear annihilation, the IRA. Yup, a real party album.

Show Don't Tell Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 The Final Cut is actually one of my favourites. Yes, it is depressing. But it sounds so nice and polished, but still warm, and even lush in spots. Everyone says it sounds more like a Waters solo effort, which I agree with -- though I like his solo stuff so I don't have a very big problem with it. :P There are some amazing compositions on there, like "The Gunner's Dream", "The Final Cut", and of course, "The Fletcher Memorial Home". All of that being said, it's no Wish You Were Here, which is arguably my favourite Floyd album, but it is a solid album overall, IMHO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do miss Rick Wright's presence, but for what it is The Final Cut is great. The Fletcher Memorial Home, Your Possible Pasts, The Final Cut, and Two Suns in the Sunset are my favorites. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
