Well the whiny singing by Billy Corgan is not everybody's cup of tea and if you don't like the vocals, all that's left are the instrumentals to enjoy really.
I agree, Piper at the Gates of Dawn is one of the most overrated albums of the 1960s and if you don't enjoy it, you probably won't enjoy Syd's solo stuff much either, which is all rather patchy as the bloke was totally off his rocker by that stage. As far as A Saucerful of Secrets is concerned, Syd was only on about 2 or 3 songs anyway. It would be complete mayhem if everybody posted their top 100 on the same thread

it seemed like he was on a few because Waters was copying his style |

Jon Anderson falls into the same category as Geddy Lee as a vocalist, you either dig them or not, but both are instantly recognizable.
"Jugband Blues" was certainly the most Syd song off that album.

Could never get into his solo stuff, neither his stuff with Vangelis either. I find the different components of Yes work much better as a cohesive whole. The only solo album by a Yes member that I ever liked, was by bassist Chris Squire on his debut album.

Yeah, Syd's Pink Floyd is an entirely different animal than their mainstream rush. What's your opinion on Pink Floyd when it was headed by David Gilmour? By this I mean A Momentary Lapse of Reason and The Division Bell.
