I'm curious even I reckon that I can guess the winner. And I'd love to hear the reasons for your choice. ------------- quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond |

Very, very close on the first two choices for me. Animals isn't even a consideration for me, and it is way down the list if I were ranking all their albums. I guess I lean Dark Side by a whisker because of the devastating emotional jolt it gave to myself and my brother growing up. It touched in a personal way and I credit David and Rick for that much more than Roger despite his lyrical talent. Wish is more consistent maybe, more refined, classier, polished, more fully realized, and perhaps is the better album of the two. But that's not the question you asked. You said "favorite."  ------------- https://www.youtube.com/shorts/sQD8uhpWXCw" rel="nofollow - It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood...Road Rage Edition |

Animals, all 3 have been my favorite at one time or another. Now it's clearly Animals. ------------- Ian Host of the Post-Avant Jazzcore Happy Hour on Progrock.com https://podcasts.progrock.com/post-avant-jazzcore-happy-hour/ |

From that list I'd have to say Wish You Were Here, tho my all time favourite Floydian opus is Meddle (for very personal reasons). ------------- "Christ, where would rock & roll be without feedback?" - D. Gimour |

DSotM WYWH Animals WYWH has sentimental value, but DSotM is the better album overall. Animals is one creature short of a great album. What, you couldn't have added a bitter horse or cynical poultry, Roger? ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

^Not only that Animals suffers from what I call 'lack of Rick' - by that time he was just going through the motions and barely contributing any ideas. ------------- "Christ, where would rock & roll be without feedback?" - D. Gimour |

They are my top 3, and I would probably rank them in chronological order. ------------- I shook my head and smiled a whisper knowing all about the place |

I love DSotM and Animals but have developed a recent appreciation and favoritism for ASoS (A Saucerful of Secrets). What an amazing album! in 1968!! ------------- Drew Fisher https://progisaliveandwell.blogspot.com/ |

And me. ------------- No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man. |
