That's pretty tough. Wish You Were Here is my 2nd favorite album and The Wall is 3rd, so I'm picking WYWH. But The Wall is a masterpiece, and a damn good movie. WYWH is a tribute to Syd and even though there are only 5 songs, the whole album is great. So yeah WYWH

Wish You Were Here, by far.

Pink Floyd at their top, all of them contributing with some of their best material ever. Not a single weak moment, it contains two of the most popular Floyd moments: the simple but sheer inspiration of the title track and the most complex and ambitious suite of the band, Shine On.

The Wall is good with a few classics thrown in, but Wish You Were Here is brilliant from start to finish & is indeed my favourite Floyd Album

The Wall. Simply because WYWH is overrated and only has one brilliant song(Shine On part 1)

Officially, I like WYWH more because it was my first Floyd album and has a lot of great guitar work. But the Wall is easier to listen to. I'll probably be flamed for this (although I doubt i will) but sometimes long instrumentals are a pain to listen to. You have to be in the right mood, and a lot of stuff on the Wall is pretty short and straight forward.

Well, both albums are incredible. But "The Wall" is simply the best work of Pink Floyd (I know I'll get flammed for this as well, Cerpin). I don't listen to it a whole lot, because I only allow myself to listen to it in absolute darkness and silence (well, except the playing music). I sometimes think it's not so great after browing the forums, since it's not so popular here, but everytime I go back for a listen, I am stunned.

Also, WYWH is a flawless album, but has a difficult time standing up to something like The Wall.

the wall, though i think they are both great in their own right and it's hard to choose, but the wall is a much bigger achievement (IMHO).
