I really can't decide! The albums of theirs I'm not into a "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" and "The Final Cut" might have great lyrics and the most down to Earth viewpoints, but it's still nowhere near their previous musical highs. I think David Gilmour's background guitar on "The Post War Dream" is the most thoughtless piece of crap he's ever done. That said, for me the worst Pink Floyd album is "More". And yet "Obscured By Clouds" is a brilliant soundtrack. But it gets overlooked as a "dress rehearsal" for "Dark Side of the Moon". So many choices! I may as well go for "The Endless River" not for a laugh, but to show support to an album that I think will grow in appreciation over the years.

Wow, still zero votes for The Wall. And I'm not the one going to de-bagel it.
I vote Dark Side Of The Moon, because the whole album is very good. "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" and "Dogs" are two of my favorite songs, but the rest of their respective albums are not on the same level.

The epics always stand out but being fortunate to see decades come and go I still think WYWH and Dark Side Of The Moon along with Meddle are the very best of best.
They seemed to really nail it in the odd years of the 70's - 71,73,75,77,79

Momentary used to be my favorite album before I heard ObC. Fantastic album.

I have to go with the albums I keep coming back to. Meddle and Animals. Toss the coin - Animals. Thats it.

Wish you were Here for me, though I'm tempted to vote for Animals, since it's actually almost tied in my preference, and it's got much less votes. I almost would like to vote for Division Bell, since I really love that album too, and it's got no votes at all... but in the end it is Wish you Were Here and Shine on You Crazy Diamond that are my very favourite things from the band.

It would likely get me arrested.. and contain acts that are illegal in 16 southern states.. but I would go out in a blaze of glory.. which is more than could be said of my 'review copy' of the album.

^Yes, a Momentary Lapse of Reason for me too. It's the greatest Floyd album ever! I have listened to it everyday since it was fist released 30 years ago! It was so good that I threw the rest of Floyd records out! (how was that, micky? Did I sound convincing enough?)

Animals for me, I love the darkness with the musicality of DSOTM & WYWH. Ummagumma would be second.
