I'm gonna take the road less traveled and throw a vote for The Final Cut. 

Voting lasts 3 days! Get on it!

As much as I really like the Final Cut. Songs like Comfortably Numb, The Trial, and Hey You make The Wall get my vote.

No competition here. Floyd aren't Floyd without Rick Wright. (but it doesn't mean that Final Cut is not a great album)
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

The Final Cut is a great album. But The Wall is a classic.

The Wall is a five-star album, while The Final Cut is a 2 or 3 one for me.

Definitely the Wall. I never really liked Mr.Waters poetry in the final cut

The wall, but I think that The Final Cut is very underrated.

The Final Cut might have been a good album if anyone but Roger spent significant time on it....it's more like a Roger solo album
 
The Wall gets my vote
Prog On!

The Final Cut is in my top 3 Pink Floyd albums and I rarely listen to The Wall.

It's a great album and is more digestible than The Wall, but The Wall has such a wider sound pallette. Its bigger and better. Imo of course. I do love The Final Cut.

They're both crap, but at least "The Wall" has got "Comfortably numb".

No, that isn't what underrated means.

^lol
 
Anyway, I'll go for The Final Cut, I used to love The Wall but it's probably one of the few (or maybe the only) albums that I've over-listened to as a kid and now I can't listened to it at all, with the exception of a few classics.
The Final Cut on the other hand, I used to dislike a lot as a kid but now it has grown on me a lot and really think it's a great dark album, which works better than The Wall in that term. Rick Wright or not, meh, he wasn't able to do anything really great on The Wall, so he was already out after Animals for me.
