Glad to see a lot of folks here saluting Animals as Floyd's best work.  It's an absolutely amazing album from start to finish.
So here I am once more

Animals is their best, it has always been so and it will stay so too, IMO though...

ANIMALS AND THE DARK SIDE AT THE SAME LEVEL.

I voted ANIMALS becouse it is underrated. But not in this forum, I agree.

Wish You Were Here is one of the best albums of all time and so it has to be this one closely followed by Animals and The Wall

Its between Animals, WYWH, Meddle, and ATOM HEART MOTHER...

I went with ANIMALS
I can strangle a canary in a tin can and it would be really original, but that wouldn't save it from sounding like utter sh*t.

That was the best example and a perfect exercise of overrating an album.

 In the same way, you could also say "The final cut" is the ultimate perfection of minimalism. When in reality, it is nothing but an album with no music.

ANIMALS without a doubt. One of my favourite albums in any genre.
Anyone know of anything live from this album floating around cyberspace?

 The best is definitely "Wish". "Shine on YCD" is the most touching melody in prog. It may as well be simple and not too prog but it is beautiful. Full of implicit energy, conviction, passion and heart. Anything else by Pink Floyd is cacophony when compared to this gem.

The rest of the songs are not plain filler as in "ATOM", "MEDDLE" and "THE WALL". Well, "The Wall" is worth something for "In the flesh", "Comfortably" and "Run like hell", the rest is 60 minutes of filler. "Animals" seem to have just two fillers. However, "Dogs", "SHeep" and "Pigs" are filler after the main choruses. The rest of each song is copy-paste of those chorus with a middle section of nothing.

 "Dark side" is all filler. jajaja. No, seriously...only "On the run" is filler. However, this is album has no progressive rock whatsoever. It has some rock, classic rock in "Time" and "money". ...Are you gonna tell me "Us and them" is prog?. Itīs more like contemporary adult.

^ I wholeheartedly agree with that comment.

Though, my favorite Floyd album of all time is DSOTM.

My favourite one's changed a couple of times. First, it was DSOM, then WYWH, but now I prefer Meddle. All of them are masterpieces, though. Perhaps Meddle is less "perfect", but it's more daring IMO

Hell im a bit confused....

Many have picked animals as the best album from floyd... OK, roger is angry about the british class system, but it needs to have the musical accompanyment to back it up, like on the wall... Sorry, ive actually found that album a little boring, thou i havent heard it for several months....

Maybe i need to give it another listen...

On the positive side, i really couldnt decide which one is the best.  Did vote for 'saucerful of secrets', but also love 'DSOTM', 'wish u were here', 'the wall', and 'the final cut'.  Those other four albums could have easily taken out the title as well...

Hell, just call them brilliant and be done with it.
