| 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. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Snow_Dog" rel="nofollow">

The Wall is a five-star album, while The Final Cut is a 2 or 3 one for me. The Wall.  -------------  One of my best achievements in life was to find this picture :D |

Definitely the Wall. I never really liked Mr.Waters poetry in the final cut ------------- A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything. - Friedrich Nietzsche |

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. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Snow_Dog" rel="nofollow">

They're both crap, but at least "The Wall" has got "Comfortably numb". ------------- Future prosperity lies in the way you heal the world with love (Introitus - The hand that feeds you) |

^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.

I can't believe that somebody considers the wall "crap". I don't see the relation with Mostly Autumn, but if both The Wall and things like "The gap is too wide" are crap it means at least that you don't like electric guitars and Gilmour's style. So why voting in a poll about Pink Floyd? ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution |

Let's see...a sprawling, highly influential, almost flawlessly executed concept album, or an album comprised of tracks left off the sprawling, highly influential, almost flawlessly executed concept album?

Dog...maybe if you add some salt and pepper on The Final Cut it will appeal to your pallette better?

| There are some really good songs on The Final Cut, but The Wall is a better album as a whole, and it's got Comfortably Numb (and some other really good songs too). |

Actually, I like these equally as I do most Floyd albums.
I love pretty much anything Floyd except for MLoR. ------------- http://blindpoetrecords.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow">

That band doesn't exist anymore... it's become an eufemism for "Josh & co. Limited" And yes, "The Wall" is nothing more than crappy self-pity.

Motly Autumn died after Angela Goldthorpe left (2 albums ago), however I think you should pay more attention to the Wall's concept and lyrics.

I'll just quote the only true genius of Pink Floyd, namely David Gilmour: "It appears now to be a catalogue of people Roger blames for his own failings in life, a list of "you f***ed me up this way, you f***ed me up that way""

TFC is a solid 5 star album to me, The Wall a 3,5 star album.

The Wall, but only because I haven't heard The Final Cut.  BTW, Gilmour's description of The Wall seems quite apt. If it hadn't contained some good songs like "In The Flesh?" "The Thin Ice", "The Happiest Days of Our Lives/Another Brick In The Wall Pt. 2", "Mother", "Empty Spaces/Young Lust", "Hey You", "Nobody Home", "Comfortably Numb", and "Run Like Hell", I'd probably would've dismissed it as a poor album. As it is, it's not the masterpiece Waters claims it is, but it's nothing to sneeze at either. ------------- He looks at this world and wants it all... so he strikes, like Thunderball! |

I agree but thats more than half of the album bro It's the most overrated floyd album imo but its still a billion time better than The Final Crap. |
