I think your top 10 is nice, but it's hard to not make a respectable top ten for Pink Floyd.

However, it seems like you tried to not have The Wall or DSOTM high on the list to avoid being predictable. Those two albums were exceptional, like everything Floyd recorded essentially from "Piper" on through The Wall.

Point being, it's hard to come up with any satisfying top ten.
Don't get me wrong, I love those both. But It's something I couldn't connect with, Piper and Ummagumma were the first albums I listened by them and it was nothing I had ever heard before. I'm not the biggest fan of Progressive Rock, but the three songs on the Wall I freakin' love. I don't know why but I just couldn't fall in love with DSOTM. Time & Money, two great songs. But that's it, maybe Breathe but... I can't say I love the other songs. And, not every Floyd fan has The Wall and DSOTM as their top 2.

I actually apologize if I sounded douchey on that last bit, I agree they seem like more "set" albums. I only really like the few songs on there, I'm more of a Psychedelic type of guy.

Everything Pink Floyd did was psychedelic. Haha, if anything they got trippier after Piper.

Ha, I only really considered the first album and maybe the second one and a bit of the third one to be Psychedelic.

Default Interesting topic...
I agree with you.
Comfortably numb is however my best song ever for Pink Floyd.

MEDDLE - 'Echoes' is one of the all time great trip-out records. Many's the time I had a headful of LSD and someone would put that album on and...well never mind. GREAT album though. Even sounds good sober...

nice. glad to see another person who loves Piper. I am a fan of Pre-Dark Side era, so this makes me happy.
