Three of my favorite songs and my favorite songs by Genesis and JT.  Dogs and Echoes go back and forth between my fav and second fav Floyd song.  I have to vote Supper's Ready, but as someone else said, just by the merest of whisker over TAAB.  Dogs comes in third, although still one of my all-time favs.
I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

Well a duh. Thick. Best album ever written in the history of pop...er, best song in the history of pop. Wait, is that right?
 
DISCLAIMER:
 
"Supper's Ready" is a masterpiece, and "Dogs" is pretty masterpiece-ish too (in fact, dunno which is better...probably "Supper" though). It's just...put 'em up against "Thick," and you leave me no choice.

TAAB, both parts in this masterpiece of Prog Rock JT have the most intricate piece of music i ever heard.
 
Supper is very close to TAAB.
 
Dogs.... i prefer Echoes. but i confess that the first phrase of the song is really captivating "you gotta be crazy..."
 
As a footnote i remember that when i was 17 age i have a girlfriend and we used to fight a lot, an "intense" love/hate situation, by those times somebody gave me a copy of a old vinyl copy of Animals, and i recorded in a cassette to hear on a walk man, when i leave her home, i walk to the subway (around to large  blocks) and i used to put Dogs and asking me  what do the hell i'm doing here???Wink

Haven't voted, yet. Tough..hehe. I find Dogs to be the most POWERFUL of the three, at cause of David's thundering solos, plus moog that both of the others don't have, but this one has a lack of AWSOME structure, compared to the other 2, of course.

Supper's Ready, as structure, it's tied up with TAAB, as the BEST structure of all Prog IMHO. As well it has some excellent vocals, lyrics,   atmosphere, keys, bass and guitar. I must say Supper's Ready beats Dogs, not easily but neither that difficult.

And TAAB, well, the same as Supper, but with weaker electric guitar, but better acoustic guitar and flute. Vocals are almost equal, the same for the keys, the exception is that Supper has mellotron and some others, still John's hammond on TAAB is AMAZING.

Difficult choice between these 2, still Dogs wouldn't be out that quickly, if it would be a FOR-All-YOUR-LIFE VOTE(I mean you can only choose one to listen the rest of your life..)

TAAB just gets some bad views from me and others, I suppose, that at cause of Pt 2 which is very good but compared to Pt 1, is rather meh, it feel that TAAB isn't that consistent.. whatever..

Too much explanation, and no action(vote)? Here I go, I'll vote for TAAB. Still it could have been any.

Thick As A Brick, for me, despite my deep-seated adoration of Genesis. The organ-led section is simply so incredibly moving, and the lyrics are superb.

Dogs, well, not even my favourite Floyd (or even my favourite animal), but the other two were close enough

Thick as a Brick does me every time , something about the playfulness and the musicianship that just lights my soul. Supper is an imperfect masterpiece that remains a fave . Dogs just leaves me boneless!
I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

Suppers Ready, all are great but not many bands make an epic like Supper
Somewhere out of a memory of lighted streets on quiet nights...
