'The Wall', by far. Good songs, concept, theatricality, etc.....but it's got a bit too much "Roger" on there. When it's good, it's a killer album, but there's some sections that are very weak ("Don't Leave Me Now", "The Show Must Go On"), so I certainly understand where Gilmour comes from in some of his criticisms......I do like "Vera/BTBBH" though....

It's aggravating to no end that a lot of people associate The Floyd with 'The Wall' only......not knowing what other better albums are in their catalog. It's an awesome album, don't get me whong, but DSOTM, WYWH, 'Animals', and probably 'Meddle' too just have much more to offer in terms of flow, balance, and musicality. As much as I love 'The Final Cut', however, I don't think it's a better album than 'The Wall'......nor is OBC or 'Division Bell'.....so it still ranks up there for me.....
