Pink Floyd studio albums from best to worst

	The Final Cut by Pink Floyd Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.81 That's the one where Roger Waters finally took absolute control and came up with a surprising masterpiece. Good work!
	Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd Buy new: £6.98 / Used from: £4.74 No undeniable embarrassments on here, which I can't really say for the better-known "Dark Side of the Moon".
	Meddle by Pink Floyd Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £4.00 "Seamus" IS a bit of an embarrassment, but at 2:17 it can be easily overlooked on any prog rock album. And "Echoes" (23:31!) is arguably the best song ever written by someone who wasn't a Beatle.
	The Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd Buy new: £6.98 / Used from: £4.98 Back in 1973, the fact that a record sold well was an indication of quality instead of a lack of it. If "On the Run" spoils things a little, again it's only 3:31 out of 42:54. So there.
	Animals by Pink Floyd Buy new: £6.88 / Used from: £5.63 A little unnecessary padding on this one, this is still a revelation to anyone who cares about the quality of what they listen to.
	The Piper at the Gates of Dawn by Pink Floyd Buy used from: £3.29 Gee, it's hard to fit this in on a Pink Floyd list, since it doesn't sound like anything else in their entire back catalogue. This ranking should therefore be taken with a pinch of salt.
	The Wall by Pink Floyd Buy new: £8.98 / Used from: £6.99 This compares very well with the Beatles' so-called white album. So again, it's hard for me to judge. But I do know I prefer the more direct "Final Cut" (well, it IS at the top of my list).
	The Division Bell by Pink Floyd Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.99 You know, I can't help noticing that the Gilmour-led Floyd is just beginning to be seen in a more favourable light. And that's a good thing in my book.
	A Momentary Lapse of Reason [Original Recording Remastered] by Pink Floyd Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.98 See above on this one. Possibly the most underrated rock record ever.
	Atom Heart Mother by Pink Floyd Buy new: £4.88 / Used from: £3.00 Now here's a tough listen! But it's worth it.
	Obscured by Clouds by Pink Floyd Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.98 Soundtracks are inherently dangerous, but this is one of the better one's I've heard. "Childhood's End" in particular is a fantastic song, but the instrumentals drag this album down a peg or two.
	A Saucerful of Secrets by Pink Floyd Buy new: £4.88 / Used from: £3.80 This one feels like a soundtrack in parts, especially the almost-12-minute title track with its apocalyptic battle noise. That doesn't make for an easy listen.
	More by Pink Floyd Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £4.00 This one IS a soundtrack, and it shows. But there are some underrated gems to be found, most notably the almost folky "Cymbaline".
	Ummagumma by Pink Floyd Buy new: £8.98 / Used from: £7.00 Worst Pink Floyd album ever. Sorry, but half a double-LP of failed studio experiments isn't my cup of tea. Even if I've drawn my alias from one of the live album tracks, as you may have realized.
