I like both, but I think The Final Cut is excellent.

I think only a few bits from ObC are memorable while most of the Final Cut is pretty interesting and dark in a way that most Pink Floyd albums are not.

Obscured By Clouds has about 20% of my favorite Pink Floyd songs.

Baffled by the poll results, Final Cut by a mile...notwithstanding that La Vallee is a great soundtrack album

Effectively I was not expecting so much love for Obscured, but while Final Cut is a good (IMO) concept album, it doesn't have big peaks apart of the sax on The Gunner's dream which starts from Water's scream and Two suns in the Sunset which is a great song. Obscured is song based but there are songs on it which I carry in my heart since decades. Probably it's the less progressive Floyd's album but I really love it.

I don't think I ever heard it. I like their music before Dark Side. Heard that album a few many times to really ever put on any of the songs.

I would add the song "The Final Cut" to the great songs from that album, and "The Fetcher Memorial House" too, besides that the album is rather boring for me. Oh yeah, and "The Hero's return", but the single version that includes the second part too, making the song long enough to be enjoyable instead of frustrating. I really wish that song was available officially, if only they had included it on the last remaster of the album I would have bought it again.

Okay, Ive added lotta your names to my "Juniors" list.
"Final Cut" is simply one of the worse - I wont say prog - albums ever made.
How you could pick that verbose dreck over anything as remarkable as Obscured By Clouds is beyond me.
...
On a tangent: perhaps some of you know, there was an act went by name of Obscured By Clouds. Pretty sure it was a single guy. Pretty decent cd.

I don't understand why OBCs is leading this poll? I went back and listened to the album thinking I had missed something. There is absolutely nothing special about the songs on OBCs, in fact you wouldn't believe this was the "great" Pink Floyd of the coming years! The Final Cut is by far the superior album IMO

A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!!

I disagree on those three counts (guess what they are).

Two very different albums. both intelligent but The Final Cut draws so much antipathy, often due to perception of Waters. I wonder if DG had any material to contribute? I used to not like it at first but it's austerity has dignity and it proclaims it's anti-war credentials proudly. The other is anticipating "world" music i.e. incorporating non western cuture into Western musical art and having a generally laid back but occasionally rocking moment.
Voting for one is voting against the other.
Can't do it. Relics versus Works - easy, not this pair.
