Top 10 Pink Floyd Albums

I can't stand A Saucerful of Secrets and The Piper At The Gates of Dawn. Than again, I don't really like Syd Barrett so I suppose that has something to do with it. I prefer Pink Floyd after that era which well...is pretty much every other album after Syd. I'm surprised you have Piper at number 1 and Animals at number 7.

I'm in this boat. A Saucerful of Secrets is my worst Floyd album probably.

Really? It's not my favorite but has some great songs on it. It's certainly a hell of a lot better than Momentary Lapse of Reason or The Division Bell. My only really gripe with it is that it's kind of uneven.

I just can't stand the vocals. I'm sure the songs would sound better had Syd not been involved. To be fair though, I listened to Saucerful and Piper after I had heard their later releases, so going to Syd from later Pink Floyd, is different than going from Syd to later Pink Floyd, I think.

Syd actually didn't have much involvement with Saucerful of Secrets. "Jugband Blues" is the only song he wrote, and also the only track on which he sang, on the entire album.

Weird. I just remember not liking it.

Or I just don't like Syd Barrett's voice. I understand and like psych rock just fine.
