Ummagumma, A Saucerful of Secrets The Endless River and Animals are my favourites. Voted for Ummagumma for the well-applied Droste effect. -------------

The Cow for artwork, DSOTM for packaging. ------------- There is no dark side in the moon, really... Matter of fact, it's all dark... |

Dark Side, closely followed by WYWH and Animals. The Division Bell is pretty good too. ------------- I shook my head and smiled a whisper knowing all about the place |

Granted it is a very tough choice, but my vote went for the brilliant design of WYWH, just over the utter simplicity of DSotM. Apologies for omitting 'A Collection of Great Dance Songs', and 'Is There Anybody Out There?: The Wall Live 1980-81' from the poll, BTW. ------------- 'We're going to need a bigger swear jar.' |

| I do like Floyd's artwork, much more than the music. WYWH and AHM are my favorites. |

DSOTM because the original vinyl release came with those 2 cool posters. One of the pyramids and this one which I had on my wall for years... ------------- https://wytchcrypt.wixsite.com/mutiny-in-jonestown" rel="nofollow - Mutiny in Jonestown : Progressive Rock Since 1987 |

Original UK has had same as I have (just watched from discogs). Have you got stickers? My version havenīt got them, in original there are also 2 stickers. |

Well, animals is pretty cool. Hard to pass up Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here though. Someone voted PULSE, it does have wicked cool art. |
