 | A Saucerful of Secrets by Pink Floyd
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.43 Heard it once. Never bothered with it again. Band groping for a direction & coming up blank. Sounds very dated. Only one good song at the end - by Syd Barrett without the band.

![A Momentary Lapse of Reason [Original Recording Remastered]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/316QMKPYVEL._SL75_.jpg) | A Momentary Lapse of Reason [Original Recording Remastered] by Pink Floyd
Buy new: £10.48 / Used from: £3.35 Uninspired album. I played it quite a bit. Now can't remember any of the tracks that aren't on the Echoes Best Of. Poor songwriting. Learning To Fly and Sorrow are the only decent tracks.
|
 | Relics by Pink Floyd
Buy new: £7.48 / Used from: £4.50 Not good but some of it's okay. Some of the rare to find tracks are enjoyable. Careful With That Axe, Eugene is interesting if over-rated. Nile Song is PF playing heavy metal!
|
 | Atom Heart Mother by Pink Floyd
Buy new: £10.38 / Used from: £5.84 23 minute title track has something to offer (at half the length it might even be enjoyable). Middle of the album isn't too good. Last 13 minute track is awful - without sound effects it might be okay
|
 | Delicate Sound of Thunder by Pink Floyd
Buy new: £15.38 / Used from: £5.75 Not enough classics played live. Also sounds oddly dated. Pulse is superior to this release & longer.
|
 | Obscured by Clouds by Pink Floyd
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £4.49 Some decent pastoral songs. Nothing to get excited about. Neither good or bad. Shame it has such a basic "dry" production as a bit of echo & reverb etc would liven it up in places.
|
 | The Division Bell by Pink Floyd
Buy new: £7.48 / Used from: £2.11 Dull. I've heard it twice & never thought it was worth listening to again. All the decent tracks, excluding What Do You Want From Me which is on Pulse, are on the Echoes Best Of.
|
 | The Final Cut by Pink Floyd
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £4.45 Musically it sucks as it's way too wordy. Lyrically it's too scattershot to work as a concept. Though I do think it's better than some people say it is.
|
 | The Piper at the Gates of Dawn by Pink Floyd
Buy used from: £3.28 When it's good it's great. The bad stuff is very bad. Barrett is over rated. All the good stuff is on the Echoes Best Of. I hate the instrumentals.
|
 | Meddle by Pink Floyd
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £4.00 Echoes at first seemed to take forever to go nowhere. Now sounds lovely as an ambient work out with added guitar freak-outs. Shame most tracks are filler. Takes a few listens to like.
|
 | Is There Anybody Out There? by Pink Floyd
Buy new: £12.78 / Used from: £8.95 The greatest album ever recorded now played live. Not essential but enjoyable anyway. Not a lot of differences to the studio album. People who don't like the studio album seem to enjoy this version.
|
 | Pulse by Pink Floyd
Buy new: £12.58 / Used from: £6.99 The classics played live. Shame about the Gilmour era songs but at least there's none on disc 2. Dark Side is very faithful to the studio album.
|
 | Animals by Pink Floyd
Buy new: £10.58 / Used from: £5.52 Took a lot of listens to like it. Not great but satisfying once it clicks. Not a big fan of the 10 minute song "Pigs (Three Different Ones)". The concept doesn't quite make enough sense to work.
|
 | The Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd
Buy new: £7.08 / Used from: £4.70 One classic song after another. Everything flows together with various layers of music on top of each other. Great songwriting & wonderful production.
|
 | Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
Buy new: £6.98 / Used from: £6.39 Uniquely cold but soulful jazz-rock dynamics on Shine On. The most consistent album ever recorded. Every track is great. Have A Cigar is a personal favourite.
|
 | The Wall by Pink Floyd
Buy new: £10.88 / Used from: £6.50 Musically not very pretty but pay attention to the dark depressing story and it will blow you away. My favourite album of all time.
|
 | Echoes (The Best of Pink Floyd) by Pink Floyd
Buy new: £8.98 / Used from: £2.99 The bible for music. Only track missing is Run Like Hell. Not too many Gilmour era tracks. Anything good Syd Barrett recorded is on here. One classic after another.
|
 | The Definitive Collection (2CD) by Alan Parsons Project
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.49 Dark Side engineer went on to have a recording career. Continues were Dark Side left off - immaculately produced conceptual prog rock. Consistently good music & lyrics with an orchestra on most tracks
|
 | In the Flesh Live by Roger Waters
Buy new: £6.98 / Used from: £4.20 Guitarists don't copy Gilmour EXACTLY. If you're not a musicologist, who cares? All sounds the same to me. Lyrics are given priority & I like the female backing vocals. Almost as good as Pulse on CD.

Buy new: £5.48 / Used from: £9.00 Much, much better than Pulse on DVD. Vocals are very clear which I like. Shame Shine On is butchered. Rest of the songs are fine. Only 5 solo songs at the end so can be ignored.

![Pink Floyd - Pulse (Two Discs) (DVD) [2006]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/318AB81A81L._SL75_.jpg) | Pink Floyd - Pulse (Two Discs) (DVD) [2006]
Buy new: £11.98 / Used from: £10.99 Good music, bad DVD. Filmed miles from the stage & band ignored in favour of the visual effects. Not good if you want to see them play their instruments. Also poor extras.
|
![Pink Floyd - Live at Pompeii [DVD] [1972]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51AG2RP3E4L._SL75_.jpg) | Pink Floyd - Live at Pompeii [DVD] [1972]
Buy new: £14.98 / Used from: £88.00 Very atmospheric but very badly filmed. Music is boring & mostly instrumental. If you love this PF era then you might like it. Echoes is boring with your eyes open.Interesting Abbey Rd studio footage.

![Pink Floyd - The Wall (Limited Edition) [DVD] [1982]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51HRXDFQ4SL._SL75_.jpg) | Pink Floyd - The Wall (Limited Edition) [DVD] [1982]
Buy new: £13.69 / Used from: £11.65 Album works great as a film. Arresting images every few minutes, all stylishly filmed. Very depressing overall mood. Shame Geldof sings two tracks but he's a good actor. Brilliant informative extras.
|
 | Flickering Flame - The Solo Years Volume 1 by Roger Waters
Buy new: £18.49 / Used from: £7.18 Overlong, musically unappealing tracks. Songs too wordy & Waters whispers all the lyrics. Strange song selection & sequencing. His talent for words dried up after The Wall.
|
 | The "Pink Floyd" Odyssey: Saucerful of Secrets by Nicholas Schaffner
Buy new: £7.60 / Used from: £4.20 Very detailed biography. Barrett era doesn't dominate, mostly about the Waters era. Plenty of pages about them fighting for control of the band. Good stuff on the writing & recording of all the albums

Listmania!
