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)

There is no such thing as "overuse of symbolism." And how can it throw off your perspective? There's a concept and they stick to it, no contradictions. I think it just makes it very clear and buried really good into your minds.

yeh, i'd say Dark Side of the Moon is overrated
it's a very good album, but WYWH and the Wall are much better

I'd have to say "Wish You Were Here." I've always felt the "Shine On" suites took up too much time on the album and have too much synthesizer and saxophone. "Welcome to the Machine" has always annoyed me for some reason. The songs are good in general, but there's only 4 songs on the whole album. Yet it's one of their more popular.

Best albums
- Dark Side of the Moon - Masterpiece where everyone contributed
- The Wall - Probably the most mainstream album put together of all of them
- Wish You Were Here - Ode to Syd and awesome songs from Machine and Cigar
- Animals - Entertaining songs probably more enjoyable at the concerts
- Meddle - Initial signs of brilliance here, pre DSOTM
- Piper at the Gates of Dawn - The 1st album that started it all
- Division Bell - Gilmour's guitar skills continue to shine
- Momentary Lapse of Reason - 1st Post Waters album
- Saucerful of Secrets - Experimental album, no direction, a few good songs
- Animal Heart Mother - Experimental album also
- Final Cut - Seems more like B sides from The Wall
- More - probably good to listen to at 5 am after a rough night of partying
- Obscured by Clouds - I rarely listen to this, hence last
Not included: Relics, Umma Gumma, and other compilation albums that included songs from previous albums
