The best track is the title song. The Gilmour solo is great.



This should have just been on The Wall instead, which it was going to be.

Actually Not Now John is a pretty goodun too. The only song which Gilmour got to sing on, he and Nick actually seem to be enjoying themselves on that one, heck so does Roger. It sounds pretty derivative of Young Lust but it's a nice break from the rest of the album.

Your Possible Past and The Hero's Return (two other Wall rejects) are also good. I'd say those 4 songs are the only reason to give this album a spin.

Well, the period between Piper and DSOTM certainly is. Saucerful of Secrets and Obscured by Clouds especially. And I think Division Bell is way better than people say it is, yeah Gilmour isn't a very good lyricist, so what?
i posted in pairs for a reason. compared to the attention the Beatles get for their influence on music from the 60s and 70s i think PF is quite underrated.

I probably like both around the same, but The Beatles are undeniably more significant.

Floyd have 9 above average albums, more if you include live albums and compiliations. But The Beatles have like... 12 great studio albums, which is nearly their entire discography, they really did have the most consistant run of albums of any band ever.

That being said I understand where you're coming from. I get pretty pissed when critics like Starostin knock down Floyd by comparing them to the Beatles and just downplaying all their acievements because they weren't The Beatles. "Waters is no John Lennon", oh stfu already. Pink Floyd didn't try to be The Beatles. And I do hate that critics have to compare every goddamn band to The Beatles.

Starostin is especially annoying with his Beatles/Stones/Who/Dylan fetish, he pretty much thinks they're the only truly great artists and just can't resist comparing every other band to those 4 and bitch about how inferior they are. F*cking Russians.

I agree "You Won't Know" is pretty great, but I'd be hard pressed to say that album was underrated. It did get them a lot of acclaim.

But you're totally right regarding Incubus, XTC and Gentle Giant.
Not to me. Care to elaborate?

"Not Now John" is the best song on that album, which is strictly average.
