Yeah the dreadful final cut which was basically a Roger Waters solo album. I think a Momentary Lapse of Reason which followed w/o Waters was much better where the other members actually got to work as a group again. Actually, though I go much farther back, and say that Syd Barrett was the real genius as the first 2 Floyd albums were never matched.

I really enjoy "Piper at the Gates of Dawn," but have to disagree about their 2nd album, "A Saucerful of Secrets."
Barret is credited with only 1 track and he was starting his slide. "Let There Be More Light" is a great opening track and there are other tracks of note on the album, but it doesn't seem to flow as a whole. I wouldn't call it bad, but it's not as good as some of the other early albums in my opinion.

If stuck to choose one album, I'd have to go with "Meddle."
