As of now, The Wall last seems to dominate. No one has DSOTM last. No one has The Wall first and the other three are splitting the first places equally.

Eduardo, cool poll. Do another one with...

Saucerful
UmmaGumma
Atom Heart Mother
Meddle

I realize that skips some stuff, but more than 4 titles probably gets too hairy LOL

WYWH > DSOTM > The Wall > Animals - tho a very close call between the latter two.
Is it any wonder that the monkey's confused?

The Wall > DSOTM > WYWH > Animals

I’m younger than most of you and The Wall was the first PF album I heard, it was hugely influential on me at the time (musically) and I still love it! Concept albums/rock operas float my boat….

WyWH over (almost equal) to animals, clearly over Dark Side, very clearly over The Wall.

I'm hearing you but has it really stood the test of time? I respect it but I don't think I could get through the whole thing nowadays. Also I'm not a massive fan of the way it sounds (production issues?). It's just very 'flat' to my ears. Maybe the live version is a little better (?)

Having The Wall last seems more important than who comes first , a view I can easily relate to. Still thinking my 1st, but TW will be my last.

We're close to the same age..

the album where Waters' angst and righteous indignation finally got the better of him and as Rich rightly asks, has it aged well? Meddle > Animals are absolutely timeless....

Yet another opportunity to remind people that beginning with Animals, Pink Floyd became "Roger Waters and Special Guests". Taking into account all the responses above, someone needs to do a poll on the subject "When did The Wall become dated?"

DSOTM was one of their last collaborative effort. 
Last one was Shine On You Crazy Diamond.

Wrote everything on it? Yes, he wrote all the lyrics, but a simple perusal of the credits show that Nick Mason conceived "Speak to Me", Richard Wright and Clare Torry are credited for "The Great Gig in the Sky", and that "Any Colour You Like" is a Gilmour/Mason/Wright composition. That's a good 9 minutes of music that Waters performed on, but did not write. I'm not writing this to belittle what Waters did contribute to the album, but to disagree with the view that he was the be-all and end-all to Pink Floyd once Syd Barrett was shown the door.

IMO the Waters lead era of Floyd was from Saucerful through to WYWH, then from Animals to TFC it was more like the Waters domination era.

It's kinda of a weird argument to me to suggest Animals and The Wall were mostly down to Waters but have stuff before as more a 'collaborative' effort. Waters clearly was not a great musician so he could not have created those albums on his own. Lets call it 'collaborative' when it suits and resign Mason, Gilmour and Wright to 'guests' otherwise (Although I would actually agree with Wright being a 'guest' as Waters tried to push him out the band, albeit unsuccesfully, but he was marginalised on those albums certainly).To put it another way if Waters did dominate Floyd for Animals and The Wall then he must be the greatest genius of progressive music. although it does then beg the question, why are his solo records so not as interesting by comparison?!

Considering Gilmour played lead electric guitar and the bass guitar on both "Pigs" and "Sheep" (Waters played bass only on "Dogs"), you've got to consider just how much David contributed to Animals, particularly since he co-wrote the masterpiece "Dogs", and the lead and acoustic guitars are the driving force of that song.
