Which of the following Pink Floyd albums feel like a "true" Pink Floyd album?
*The Final Cut (1983): The last album with Roger Waters and the only album to not feature Richard Wright, this can be seen as a Waters-solo album in all but name, as he wrote all of the songs and sang on all the songs (except "Not Now John", which was sang by David Gilmour). This was written to protest England's involvement in the Falklands War.
*A Momentary Lapse of Reason (1987): Pink Floyd's comeback album after Waters quit the band in 1985, leaving the reigns to Gilmour. Gilmour later admitted that both Wright and Mason didn't do much on this album due to their personal problems at the time.
*The Division Bell (1994)

Even though I really like Division Bell, I feel its too much like...I don't know. Like they're trying to sound more like U2 than Pink Floyd
The Final Cut is alright, but 'The Gunner's Dream' is one hell of an epic

It's a close call between Division Bell and MLOR, but I'll go with Division Bell.

Sorrow is one of my favourite Floyd songs, and Learning to Fly, Yet Another Movie and The Dogs of War are also great songs, so I'm gonna have to go with a MLOR. The other albums had their moments (High Hopes springs to mind) but Momentary.... imo shades them.

Gotta go with Division Bell on this one. Such a solid album.

Momentary Lapse of Reason, several songs I really enjoy off of that one.

I'm a sucker for "Lapse" by default, since I haven't listened to "Final Cut" and "Division Bell" yet, as well as the fact that "Learning to Fly" was one of the first Pink Floyd songs I've listened to when I was young.

I still routinely listen to the final cut. Lyrically its miles ahead of the other two. and still has a few gilmour solos. But to my Waters has always been "pink". Each has its solid poings, sorrow is prob the best song from the albums.

I like The Final Cut, but it's definitely a Roger Waters solo album which he used to or maybe still does claim it was. The album does sound alot like Roger's three other solo albums which I liked as well. "Not Now John" is the only song with a real David Gilmour solo. When I first bought this album I would have favored it over the other two from that period, but right now I'd say it's the one I listen to least.
A Momentary Lapse of Reason is a great album. However it's more of a Pink Floyd and friends album. That can be explained since Nick Mason really hadn't drumming as much in the years up to it. The session musicians that were used did give a much richer sound though.
The Division Bell is probably one of my favorite Pink Floyd albums of all time. I rank it right behind The Wall which I have memorised. From beginning to end I can't put this album down. It's just great sounding album with great, thought-provoking lyrics.

I loved Momentary Lapse of Reason, damn the "true" fans on their high horses.
Terminal Frost is one of my favorite Pink Floyd instrumentals ever.
