This triumvirate of Pink Floyd albums have consistently been in the top 10 albums on the front page for most of the time I've been a member here.

So which is your favourite, please vote, state, and discuss. :)

N.B. I have deliberately excluded the options 'All of them' or 'None of them' making it a straight three way battle.

Have fun and play nice. :)

1. WYWH - just flawless.
2. DSotM - slightly less flawless yet overplayed on FM radio.
3. Animals - some good moments, but ultimately a Waters solo w/special guests.

Dark Side just slightly ahead of Wish for your poll.

Thinking of my current Floyd top 10 ranking....it does shift a bit now and then. Meddle and Wish are basically tied for me.

1. Atom Heart Mother
2. Dark Side
3. Meddle
4. Wish
5. Ummagumma
6. Piper
7. Saucerful
8. Obscured
9. More
10. Wall

You certainly seem to have missed something, as I did exactly the same poll less than a month ago and with the last post 9 days ago.

I thought the question seemed familiar, but I'm always up for a Floyd poll. :-)

Animals > WYWH > DSOTM

All 3 of these have been my all time favorite album at on time. Started with DSOTM when I was just discovering music. WYWH was next throughout my teens, adored Shine On above all else. Finally as my tastes broadened Animals took over, love the darkness, guitar sound, and nihilism. It's still top 5 all time for me. Dogs, Sheep, Pigs, love em.

Animals. The only one of the three which I don't skip anything. Gilmour's guitar on Dogs is my favorite guitar by him or almost anyone.

WYWH. Shine on You Crazy Diamond is their creative peak. Wish You Were Here is a song I don't care if I ever hear again.

DSotM. Too overplayed beginning in the 1970s. I'm sick of about half of it.

I knew I'd seen this same poll somewhere recently.

1. Dark Side of the Moon
2. Wish You Were Here
3. Animals

The same order as before.

I feel the same way about this. WYWH is a high point. Never cared much for Animals.

Meddle, Piper and Atom, then the three of the poll in the order that you prefer.
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

DSotM
WYWH
Animals

Dark Side is whined about because it's been overplayed; however, it is a seamless and sonic conceptual masterpiece. I still use it to test out new speakers.

And yet the poll result is quite different.
No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.
