WYWH beats A, IMHO, only because of my favourite PF song "Shine On...".

Animals beacause Dogs is just a hair bit more atmospheric and depressing than Welcome to the Machine.

It's a very tough choice. But it seems as though I've listened to Animals more, so I chose Animals.

Ok, Ok, Ive voted for WYWH, but I am deciding my vote from about 7-8 yrs ago, which was the last time I have heard Animals...
Unfortunately, I found animals musically boring with Roger whinging (as opposed to opening his soul, as he did on other albums). I remember purchasing it on vinyl, listening to it once or twice, and shelving it....
WYWH is another story, with Shine on... taking me on a sonic journey, and a fitting 'memorial' to their friend Syd, and Welcome to the machine showing us a darker side to a band that was still experementing with sonics (good on em).
Mind u.... This is based on what i thought 7-8 yrs ago. Am willing to give animals another listen when I get it on CD (to be honest, its not a high priority album, but I have the strangest feeling that I may get a 'Floydian' birthday present this year). I may change my opinion on it.

I really like this jacket, but the sleeves are much too long.

Without any doubt ANIMALS!!
WYWH was really too synt- experimental and infact they return to a more traditional prog with Animals

Animals is a better overall album than WYWH, but...It's not Floyd. It's more of a Waters solo album. WYWH is clear cut Floyd. That's my vote.

i agree with Dogs being more atmospheric but Welcome to the Machine is more depressing imo it makes people want to kill themselves.

I just tied the vote 84-84. It's a toss up. I always liked Animals and the guitar work is great, especially that bit at the end of the album. It is also one of the most lyrical Floyd albums. Wish You Were Here is great for the keyboards. It has such a sparse texture but Wright just fills it up with all those sounds. And all the great one liners. "It's all right; we told you what to dream." and "Did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage." Great stuff!!!

Well of course Shine on you crazy diamond part I,II,III is one of the best tracks ever. the next 2 tracks
are somewhat weaker though. Animals is always on a high level with Pigs and Sheep especially good.
I think Animals and the Wall are the best Pink Floyd albums.

Wow, I never really thought about that question. That's like comparing Stupid Dream and Lightbulb Sun.
But I think Wish You Were Here is the better album. And the concept and cover design is better.
