There's a lot of sarcasm around here.

sarcasm apart,
My vote goes for the one with the fiery man on the cover.
Is it me, or almost every prog band composed a song similar to Shine On You Crazy Diamond? I mean, I hear that intro everywhere...

I can't vote for some reason... but if I could, I'd help out The Division Bell! Really fine work, IMO. Hard to compete with WYWH, though.

Wish you Were Here is my favourite Floyd album, but I really like The Division Bell too.

This is hard. WYWH has the title track and Shine which are essential classics but Division Bell has High Hopes which is definitely in my top 5 list of PF songs. I'd have to say they're about equal.

Wish You Were Here. No contest here. WYWH is in my top ten and my favourite Pink Floyd album, The Division Bell is somewhere in the range 8-11 in my list of PF studio albums.

Division Bell is the only Pink Floyd album I dislike, and Wish You Were Here is a solid 5 star album, easy choice

This almost qualifies as a Trollin' Poll, except that there's no-one siding with the Division Bell to troll.

The Division Bell is a parody of Floyd.
Absolutely no contest for this one.

I'm voting Division Bell this time, even though it may be the only one. In actuality, I do not think it better than Wish You Were Here. So why such a vote? Because I think The Division Bell is a good album that works best in its entirety than broken down into individual songs. It has a flow to it that I enjoy very much, and it has great production and sound. Thus, my vote is not to sympathize, but to be contrarian.
