The Final Cut is Water's magnum opus.......very few understand that. Refined Wall with absolute heart on the sleeve stuff.....epic

It's interesting how taste changes over time. 20 years ago this would have The Wall in a landslide, with TFC in second. I think it's vastly underrated. Anyway, Animals just grabs me anymore; with Waters venom, Gilmour's guitars and Wrights never mentioned keyboards. Great album, going with Animals.

Animals has great consistency. On the other hand, The Wall has great highs, and some weak material. 
 
Just like Ummagumma had great consistency, while Meddle had great highs, and some weaker material.
 
In both cases, I went with the albums that had great highs. (I.e. Meddle & The Wall.)

Animals, easily, for me. My favourite album by the band along with Wish you were here. I think this album would have made a better match with that album and Dark Side, actually, which is what I consider the masterpiece tio of albums from the band. Once again, of course, every one of this albums has some amazing songs, though, and the other two also make a wonderful listening experience if listened to as a whole.

Animals, easily. It should've just been 2 Pink Floyd albums as TFC shouldn't even be compared to these two masterpieces.

As I don't like Animals I'd voted for The Wall (although it's nothing breathtaking IMO). The Final Cut is out of question of voting for me...

At first glance, it was an easy vote for Animals, but then I thought about all those hours I've spent completely entranced by The Wall.  This may be the first Floyd poll where I can't choose a clear winner.  As I said in another related thread, the Floyd could do no wrong, so even though "The Final Cut" is the clear 3rd place for me in this poll, I would certainly recommend everyone listen to it, and I could even understand someone claiming it to be a favorite.

Today... I feel slightly more inclined to climb The Wall... sure, not all the songs are top notch, but I have never listened to that album without getting choked up at least twice.

If the whole album was made of Comfortably Numb it would have been The Wall, but Animals is the last true Floyd abum

Got to give the edge to Animals, though I like all three albums, and have a soft spot for The Wall - which I was lucky to see performed live in 1980.

Animals gets the resounding vote from me.  This is an all around favorite full of amazing music.  The Wall is great but gets overplayed and just like DSotM, it is no fault of the album.  Final Cut is way down at the bottom of the stack for me, not even close to the other two.

The Wall is a greater achievement than Animals. I love Animals but it is too abbreviated for my tastes -- one or two songs short of a masterpiece.

Animals, because Dogs.
It's my favourite album ever, and was influenced by one of my favourite books, The Animal Farm. Nothing can top that.

The Wall is a great album, and the movie/live performance are even better, but it's the worse of the 7 five star albums of the band.

The Final Cut is nice, but it's too continuous, every song sound the same, but it deserve some listenings from time to time.
Please, forgive my spelling and concordance mistakes. English noob here.
