Re: Best Pink Floyd Album

'A Momentary Lapse of Reason' was worse (don't you hate the 80s?).

Yeah, it's probably the second worst Floyd album, IMO. But it's not as bad as the Final Cut for a couple of reasons.
The Final Cut is bland. They might as well have called it "The Wall: Part 2 1/2." Never before had I heard a Floyd album that was just plain boring. Also, that was the album in which Roger Waters finally took more control than anyone else was comfortable with. Rick Wright (keyboard) wasn't even on Final Cut due to all that business.
Momentary Lapse of Reason was the first album post-Waters, and it was thankfully less bland than The Final Cut. There are a couple of decent songs on MLoR, like Sorrow and On The Turning Away (guilty pleasure song for me), but it clearly wasn't their best effort.
