I think Piper at the Gates of Dawn is a brilliant album; I just happen to prefer the 70's Gilmour albums. In the context of Pink Floyd albums it is underrated. When you stack it against their 70's material, Pipers seems comparatively obscure. Especially against Dark Side of the Moon, and The Wall, two albums which have received tremendous accolades. You can't spend even spend 5 minutes listening to a classic rock station without hearing a song from either album.

I'm not a big fan of The Syd Barret years, but I acknowledge the albums brilliance.

But I think two truly underrated Pink Floyd album are Atom Heart Mother and The Final Cut. Both of those albums receive a lot of criticism and I've spent plenty of hours enjoying both immensely.
