Animals is fantastisch, so is DSOTM, so is the Wall, so is WYWH, so is EVERYTHING that Pink Floyd did. No way I can pick an outright favorite, although I might choose The Wall if I had to, because I get two discs worth. 😛
Hey weird, it says D.S. was the last poster on the General forum, but when you open the thread I come after. It's a paradox!!!
Difficult to say - different moods make a different album better.
I would say the DSOTM, WYWH, Animals trio are the best period, with some songs from earlier albums (Echoes) and The Wall being absolutely sublime.
Been watching the "Pulse" DVD a lot recently - a good mix of new and old stuff.
PS. I love The Division Bell as well, so there!
