I find Animals to be a much more consistent album. Dogs is one of their
best songs. And that closing, jangly riff at the end of Sheep is my
favorite guitar riff from Gilmour.
Wish You Were Here is also excellent with the classic Shine on You
Crazy Diamond suites, however Welcome to the Machine is a bit tedious
and lacklustre. Have a Cigar is alright, and Wish You Were Here is a
nice radio-friendly song. Overall the album lacks consistency and I am
really surprised at how high it is rated on the Prog Archives list...
oh well.

I think that Wish You Were Here is their perfect album...followed by Dark Side, Animals, Meddle, Piper at the Gates of Dawn, and The Division Bell. The only Pink Floyd albums that are sub-par are The Final Cut and AMLOR.

Wish You Were Here, I find Animals quite boring. Dogs for example is not very good song...
But Wish You Were Here is definetly one of the best albums ever created. It's stunning.

WOW! Amazing how people differ. I think Dogs is one of Floyds (Rogers) best lyrics.

I voted WYWH (my preferred PF album), lacking now one more vote to tie 99-99.
EDIT: just when I was posting it some good soul appeared and tied in 99...

animals is better IMHO
if you asked me 6 mouths ago I would have said WYWH because of sheep. I just didn't like it for a realy long time but now it's ok to me and welcome to the machine is terrible and always has been to me but I think shine on is one of the best songs floyd ever did.

Both are incredible albums but i said WYWH
Musically it is floyd's best and shine on outweighs any song on
animals. This might sound wierd but animals is almost to consistent for
me. From dogs to sheep theres not enough emotianal change. WYWH has 5
totally unique and brilliant songs.
Both albums come from the end of the DSOTM era (which is my fav) so its an easy choice for me.
If it was between WYWH and Meddle it might be different.
Animals ROCKS though!!!  Its impossible for them to make an album that i can call bad

unfortunately we never got to see how it would turn out if he stayed with the band

Animals just barely edges it out, in part because the lyrics and vocals are just so good.
Wow, the poll is 104-103 Animals

My vote is for Animals. I love Wish You Were Here, but I think over-exposure on FM radio ruined it for me. Animals is a much more compelling experience.

WYWH
Animals = Pink Floyd's most over rated album IMO.

I love both of these albums, but I have to go with Animals, It has a harder, darker vibe to it.

Darn! I wanna change my vote. Wish You Were Here, please. It's really grown on me and has surpassed Animals by Far.
