Oh man, you gotta listen to Obscured by Clouds more, I think it's one of their top 5 albums.

I love them all, but I'd say Wish You Were Here is overrated. With Animals, it's three very long songs that are PERFECT, though I could do without the synth solo in Dogs, Pigs is one of the greatest songs ever written. With Shine on, just kinda trolls on, Welcome to the Machine is just depressing, have a cigar is cool, WYWH is a great song, but not enough to have it at the level everyone puts it at.
The Wall might be a tad overrated, just cause there is a lot that could have been cut back on, but there's also so much amazing stuff.
Dark Side is not overrated, maybe just overplayed. Its an amazing album, but shouldn't be the sole focus of The Floyd's career. Not everyone's quite so hung on it though.
And anything done after Roger left is not Pink Floyd, it's David Gilmour, Richard Wright, and Nick Mason making an album.

Hey man, it ain't a Donny issue cause I'm in my element.
The Wall is great for what it is, but I don't play it straight through like I do Animals or DSOTM. It isn't like every note on the album is absolutely positively needed.

Regardless, it is among the greatest albums ever made, just that The Floyd has better.

The only 'Floyd' I can't listen to is post-Waters, Gilmour should have given it up and chosen a new name, Roger was Pink Floyd.

Post-Waters Floyd may be "creatively dead", but David Gilmour's masterful guitar work is what keeps the band alive. True, their music became alittle more pop-rockish on some tracks, but who honestly believes that the Floyd sound left completely with Roger? MUSICALLY, David Gilmour is Pink Floyd. LYRICALLY, Roger Waters is Pink Floyd. Pink Floyd has become less of progressive rock band since Waters left and they have not released a real concept album with a true central theme, but their music is still enjoyable none the less. Honestly, I prefer Roger Waters and his creative mind as a part of Pink Floyd, but I do feel they can succeed without him if they can find a creative lyricist with a similar vision.
Ultimately, I want what all Floyd fans want, a Floyd-Waters reunion tour as the one and only TRUE Pink Floyd. But at this point, I'll take whatever I can get, whether it be Gilmour's Pink Floyd, solo Gilmour, or solo Waters.

Overrated? The Wall, although it has splashes of brilliance, I find it to be a bit "choppy".
I sure did love it back in high school, although 20 years later, it seems "not as brilliant" as I once thought it was. -

Ok, as far as "overrated" goes, I think The Wall is overrated. Not the entire album, but just Another Brick in the Wall Pt.2 and Comfortably Numb. However brilliant these songs are, it seems to be the only songs that people know from Pink Floyd. Dark Side of the Moon is also overrated, not because it's bad or anything, but people seem to only focus on this album in Pink Floyd's career and it really annoys me.
And you know what else annoys me? The crap people have been saying about both Waters and Gilmour on this thread. Seriously, shut up about them! It's true though, that they both need each other, and it's not Pink Floyd(unless Syd is there) without them.
But what about Rick Wright? So far, only one person on this thread has even bothered mentioning him. Why do people say the "Final Cut" is the greatest album by Pink Floyd when there is no Rick Wright?! Pink Floyd isn't Pink Floyd without Rick Wright. That's why I don't like to consider TFC or MLR or Division Bell as Pink Floyd. Frankly, those three albums are overrated.
Pink Floyd is either Barrett/Waters/Wright/Mason or Gilmour/Waters/Wright/Mason. Period. -

I absolutely agree with "The Wall." It is completely bloated, smug and downright whiney, and it does not deserve its reputation. "Animals" and "Wish You Were Here" were much better. Actually, pretty much every other album they've ever released has been much better.
"We don't need no education"? I beg to differ.
