Below are all of the albums I have listened to and logged, along with my ratings and reviews.

	Score	Artist	Title	Year	Genre	Review
	7	Pink Floyd	*A Saucerful of Secrets*	1968	Rock	A step, albeit a small one, in the right direction. There's definitely a lot more here to enjoy for me than on The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, since there are bit more tracks in the "Interstellar Overdrive" vein, like "Let There Be More Light," "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun," and "A Saucerful of Secrets," which all trend toward longer psych rock exploration. It's when they try to write songs in these early albums that they really lose me. The band just sounds so amateur and silly on stuff like "Corporal Clegg" and "Jugband Blues," like they literally have zero idea how to write a song, which obviously changes big time later on.
