Animals easily, it's my favorite Floyd album. DSOTM is in second, but not very close behind Animals.

Vote for WYWH, but it was long decission. All of them are great, each in its way. Dark side is beautiful art, animals clever mix of fear,confusion and anger and wish you were here full of sentimental memories with something from animals as well.

Wish You Were Here, it feels the most complete to me, and the flow of this album is great! I love every song from this album, and it is Pink Floyd's finest, most passionate moment for me. Dark Side Of The Moon I feel is overrated at times, and I feel the flow of Animals is tainted somewhat by Pigs (Three Different Ones). It's not a bad song, but I feel this one drags a bit (even though Dogs is longer, but i love that song).

"Animals" has dark atmospheres ("dystopian" organ, experiments, etc.), raw lyrics, best guitar licks, ... . That's beyond "WYWH" and "DSOTM". Voted for "Animals".

Three of the best albums ever made, IMO.
I'd rank WYWH on third. Yes, it has Shine On and Cigar, but it also has Welcome to the Machine which I find a bit too long and un-dynamic.
For top spot it really is kind of a draw between Dark Side and Animals, but if pressed to choose I'd have to go with Dark Side.
I mean, It's got Any Colour You Like and... well, it's the Dark Side of the Moon, innit?

My taste has actually changed over the years. 15 years ago I would have put Animals first and Dark Side last. Now, it's just the opposite. Perhaps in another 15 years things will come full circle.

This is hard, but 'wish you were here'with a small advantage over animals.

I never really enjoyed dsotm so much although it has one of the best tracks which I like from Floyd. That is Time and Great gig in the sky.
Wish you were here is a classic and one of the greatest albums of all times. I think that welcome to machine is one of the most dynamic song I have ever heard.
Animals is an album that I really started appriciated later and has become an amazing experience now.
So it is:
Wish
Animals

Perhaps my favourite trilogy of albums in a row. I really love all three, however, for me Dark Side goes to number 3. I go for WYWH, which has been my favourite for quiet a while... though lately sometimes I've felt Animals may take it's place.

I can't believe your calling Prog Fans hipster for not liking DSotM as much as you.

You guys are so hipster, leaving Dark Side at the side of the road as #3 (anything so popular cannot be any good, right?).
Anyway, Dark Side is the winner and true champion. BTW, it's also the best album to play in your car on the way home after any concert. Try it and see for yourself.

I never would have voted DSotM over those other two a year ago, but I will now
