My little brother is an exception. He just turned 17 and loves every Floyd album and every Floyd song. And I'm talking like Obscured By Clouds and Atom Heart Mother. All of them. And he found them on his own. I never even pushed him in that direction. Pretty cool for someone that young if you ask me.

WISH YOU WERE HERE by far! Please dont kill me I like the album but I think it's the most overhyped album (and song). I just don't understand what the deal is. Personally The Wall is my favourite album but I think Dark Side of the Moon is their best.

I am also an exception. I started listening to Pink Floyd when I was 16, and when I was 17, I got every album they did. This includes the Syd Barrett, Waters, and Gilmour stuff. I'm 21 now, and I still love the Floyd.

People seem to think "overrated" means it's bad or of lesser quality. That's not the case. I still like the Wall very much but I don't think it's thier best work and certainly not as good as people tend to think. And judging that the majority of the responses here are similar to mine I think it's a pretty accurate assesment.

The reason the Wall is so loved is that, aside from a number of great songs, it tends to strikes an emotional cord with most people. Musically the Wall is not the best at times, but I cannot call it over-rated as when the Wall does have it's highes, it is magnificant (Hey You, Run Like Hell).
The most over-rated Floyd album for me would be Division Bell or Piper at the Gates of Dawn. -

I don't think I'd call Division Bell,Momentary Laspe of Reason,or Piper at the Gates of Dawn overrated as I've yet to actually hear anyone say they like those.

In respect of the "big four" between 1973 and 1979, none is overrated; they are some of the best albums ever made, period! Of the others it all just comes down to personal taste, and I would say they have each received their just desserts of both praise and criticism
Rather than answer the op's question directly, I will just say that I regard The Division Bell as the most disappointing Floyd album. I still enjoy it, but it's not in the calibre of most of those preceeding it. -

The most overrated album is "Dark Side of the Moon"

Dark Side of the Moon? You're crazy. Take a moment to listen to the entire album nonstop. It IS as good a sthe people say.
As far as most overrated album goes, it's probably The Wall. Unnecessary tracks and overuse of symbolism really throws off your perspective of the story it tells.
(The film is really cool, though)
