I had to vote Animals because of the overall atmosphere and it is their most accessible album for me anyway

I voted Atom Heart Mother because it was my first prog album ever... but in fact I think it is tied with Wish You Were Here and Meddle (BTW, where's Meddle?).

Where the frig is Meddle?

The Wall, I guess...
My grip must be flipping
Cos his handshake keeps slipping
My hopes keep on dipping
And his lips keep on smiling all the time

Sorry Martin77, but the Wall IS my favorite. Followed By Wish You were Here. (BTW Martin, you spelled Wish wrong.)

They are all wicked I personally like Pipers, Saucerful, Animals, Wish You were here, and dark side, plus Echoes from Meddle (in fact where is Meddle?) but Iv gone for DSOM, ok I know its the commercial one and the 'definative' floyd album to many both prog and non-prog fans but the reason why I picked was not so much about the album itself songwise but the way the album was created, I mean alot of the stuff they were doing on that album like the whole double tracking,thoe craetion of the dance beats, the layering, creation and mastering the album in general were extremely new and pushing the envelope of how albums are made. Alot of what many producers, mixers etc today consider old hat and bog-standard, school-boy stuff were first pioneered by Floyd and the majority were in the creation of Dark Side of the Moon.

It's kind of a toss up between Animals and Wish You Were Here, but I'll give it to the latter.

Wish You Were Here is, to me, the highest point in Floyd's career.  Shine on is a masterpiece from the beginning to the end and the three other tracks are also very good.  But Animals, in its concept and intelligence, comes very close to WYWH.  The Wall and Dark Side are also fantastic albums that deserve a good attention.

For me, the four albums from Meddle to Animals are all astounding works, and my preference between them depends only on my mood.  However, if a gun were put to my head, I'd probably go for Wish You Were Here, because it is so polished, but still retains its emotion and colour.

Meddle for me, but since it is not up there I'll go for my second favorite, Piper at the Gates of Dawn.

I like all of them up until Darkside.

 

Don't like that filler album Animals,which reminds me of Zeppelin's Presence.

And I try to stay away from that double album with that disco song on it.
