The Catalog
Eras & discography
From Syd Barrett's psychedelic singles to the biggest concept albums ever made, through the acrimonious Waters/Gilmour split and two eras of aftermath — a selected map of the fifteen-album catalog, weighted toward the records the Undercurrent guides actually cover.
| Album | Year | The era, in one line |
|---|---|---|
| The Piper at the Gates of Dawn | 1967 | The Barrett era — British psychedelia's high-water mark. |
| The Dark Side of the Moon | 1973 | The one that stayed on the Billboard 200 for over 900 weeks. |
| Wish You Were Here | 1975 | The elegy — for Syd, and for the band they used to be. |
| Animals | 1977 | The bleak one — and the tour that planted The Wall. |
| The Wall | 1979 | Waters' rock opera of isolation — home of “Comfortably Numb.” |
| The Final Cut | 1983 | The last with Waters — a war requiem in all but name. |
| The Division Bell | 1994 | The Gilmour-era peak — and the last tour. |
| The Endless River | 2014 | The ambient farewell, built from Division Bell sessions. |
