The Final Cut? THE FINAL CUT ?!? Having actually wasted real money on that piece of navel gazing, woe is me drivel, I feel confident in stating that Final cut doesn't even rate in Floyd's top 5, which would be in no particular order:
Dark Side of the Moon (which makes the list)
Wish You Were Here (ditto)
Animals
The Wall
Division Bells
Well, that's your opinion. Pink Floyd fans didn't like it at the time because it signaled the end of the band. But it's an excellent album. When it came out Rolling Stone magazine called it a masterpiece.
I bought it, played it put it back in the milk crate. Played side A for my older brother, and he was not even interested in side B. A lot of my friends like Floyd. None of them like Final Cut. But okay, Rolling Stone knows best, I guess . . .
Just did a quick google search for "top-5 Pink Floyd albums" . . .
Page 1 had Final Cut listed 3 times: 1 second, 1 fourth, and 1 fifth. I think I'll stand by my assessment.
Where Milo says he actually googled and found sites saying the album was top 5 three times, yet "a LOT of Floyd fans" don't like it, an backs it up with his friends and his brother.

Urm . . . stated an opinion, backed it up with anecdotal evidence that supports same (3 out about 30 responses on page 1, and #2 was the best result. I was not going to go further to see if I was an outlier). Rolling Stone is entitled to their opinion, but they are not the be all and end all of music critique.

And DJ, excellent album.
I love Dire Straits...their albums certainly hold up.
Most of Clapton's as well.
Correct, I don't, and neither do a LOT of Floyd fans . . . fuck Rolling Stone.

Power Windows?
No, but they know a hell of a lot more about music than you do.
While this may be true, they have shown to hold grudges biases and against certain artists they don't personally like.
