"Wish you were here".

"DSOTM was a great landmark album, but WYWH is for me pretty much perfect.

The Wall is one of the greatest achievements of the modern musical era.

A true Prog Classic which manages to keep the authors' credibility intact whilst appealing to a broad audience.

Intelligent,dark,honest lyrics and some sublime musicianship from Mr Gilmour et al.

Comfortably Numb greatest song from a concept album anyone?

They're all so good .... (possible exception of the wall)

I voted for Atom Heart Mother, the AHM suite and Summer' 68 are great songs, this album really deserves a vote!

I voted Animals. I try to be consistant with an answer on this question, and with the likes of Piper, Meddle, Dark Side, WYWH, Animals, the Wall and the Division Bell it is very hard to do so. Animals though combines stellar lyrics with all the members of the band playing in their prime and at their best, all into to five (four?) perfect songs.

"Progressive.... yeah, that's it..."

Gotta go with Animals... Even tho DSOTM will probably always be my favorite Floyd album...thats because of where I was in my head at the time also.  But musically, Animals is what I prefer to listen to these days.... Its better survived the test of time I think!

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.

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.....

Has to be The Wall.

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

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.
