Pink Floyd Album Tournament, Round 5

It's Animals for me (even though I can't yet vote in the poll). I really like WYWH, but it think it drags out a bit too much.

WIsh you were here, Animals comes close but WYWH may be my favorite album ever

Hmm...Animals, no question about it. In fact, I'm gonna assert it's at least Pink Floyd's 2nd best album (can't really decide whether I like Dark Side or Animals more).

Interesting one.
Both albums were written around 1975 and the music is very similar.

It's definitely Animals for me though.
Wish You were here has too much stinkers (such as WYWH, Have a Cigar, and Shine on as well really )

Wish You Were Here, by a nose.  Even the girlfriend thinks that!

This is the hardest choice - two of my faves of all time.  I'm going with Animals though, as it's the one I'm more into at the moment.

Pshhht, Dogs alone is better than WYWH as a whole.

Animals..........just.

You gotta be crazy
you gotta have a real need
You gotta sleep on your toes
and when you're on the street
You gotta be able to pick out the easy meat
with your eyes closed

the most progressive of floyd's albums perhaps?

I remember when i fort got into this album, i was 13 or 15? and grab an old sony walkman from my father, also some old on hear old headphones, he had most floys cassetes. I think the headphones where koss but cant remember which, big, bulky and retro looking. I was like "OMG this must be the longest song ever" while listening at dogs ... so awesome.

This was a really tough choice for even me. I was tempted to say "Wish You Were Here", simply because I had an awe-inspiring...let's call it an "experience"...while listening to that album, but I think "Animals" holds up better no matter what situation you find yourself listening to it in.
