I love the early Pink Floyd albums! But, I like many voted for WYWH because it's more perfect than the other perfect albums...Animals and The Wall are fantastic in their own right, but WWYH does it for me. I find The Wall to be an amazing album, but like many double albums there is quite a bit of chaff in between the good moments, but the good moments make it worthwhile!

I voted for WYWH but thats because it has two of my favourite Floyd tracks on it 'shine on..' and 'wish you were here' but i think its all for sentimental reasons

Musically I prefer their earlier albums.

Don't hate me
I'm not special like you

WYWH gets my vote - am I the only person alive who believes that 'The Wall' is one of the most overrated albums ever? 'Comfortably Numb' is a classic, and I have a soft spot for 'One of my Turns', but apart from that I'd rather listen to 'The Final Cut'.

Lets face it, when rock stars start singing about how horrible life is as a rock star, it's time to quit.

I realized you wrote of those listed below, but you would have made this thread complete by adding one more line and placing Obscured by Clouds on the list.

It probably wouldn't have changed anyones vote but you never know. For me it is my 2nd favorite album of PF's of the 70's.

It was just one more line being added. One line!!........just one line!!!!!

I knew that I wasn't going to get everything on the poll, I never do, so thats why i put the "OF THOSE LISTED BELOW" in caps. Sorry about the omission

Hey, Sweetnighter, why did you not include "Obscured By Clouds" (1972)? OK, the majority dismiss it, but I actually listen to it more than the others these days. I like the collection of short, melodic tracks, some of which really rock. The tracks 'Mudmen' and 'Stay' are superb in my opinion.

Of those you've listed, my favourites are "Atom Heart Mother" and "Dark Side Of The Moon". Hmmm, I'll vote for the former.

Has to be The Wall.

I was lucky enough to see them do it live at Earls Court.

During my time as a Pink Floyd fan, I've had times in which every one of the albums listed had been a favourite, so it's a very hard question, but if I was to pick a Pink Floyd record from my collection right this moment and listen to it, it would be Atom Heart Mother, maybe it's another 5 minutes from now but.....

ANIMALS is the #1 album of all time in my opinion. It's brilliant. The story is amazing, it's thought provoking, the instrumentals, especially from Gilmour are amazing. It's the perfect album. No contest, even though all these Floyd albums are great.
