Dark Side, easily. Animals is good, but Dark Side is a classic.

Love both albums equally, but Animals gets my vote.

Great tournament, by the way. Clap

I understand where people are coming from when they call Animals boring, but I totally disagree. I find the spaciousness of that album completely fascinating, and a clear blueprint for post-rock along with Krautrock earlier in the decade. It's also their darkest, most ferocious album, lyrically and from a musical standpoint, which is also a big draw for me. Also, while "Comfortably Numb" will always be my favorite Floyd song, from an objective standpoint "Dogs" is their masterpiece.

I see Dark Side as a more well-planned and consistent album than Animals, although the second one is also great.

I'm still surprised to found so much love of Animals here ... to me it's very very boring album.


 Vice-versa for me Tongue

Animals is the only 5 star album of Pink Floyd for me (+WYWH maybe Disapprove)

The meaning of DSOTM to the whole music scene is obvious, it came out  at the right moment. Animals came 4 years later and lots and lots of good prog music was published between. And in PF catalogue Animals is just an average prog album.

I do agree when talking about Atom Heart Mother. It's a masterpiece and much better than Dark or Animals.

I'm too floydian. Those are the two Floyd albums I listen less.
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution
