Yes, Animals is their best one, and DSotM is amazing, but overplayed. Obscured by Clouds and Meddle are worthy, but they have a little filler. The Wall could have been the best single platter LP Floyd ever put out, but I say that about the Beatles' White Album too.
Right, The Wall suffered the same fate of most doubles, being overstuffed with filler (not to mention Waters's self-pity, which makes me nauseous). WYWH is actually my favorite Floyd, with Animals a close second. Both feature long instrumental segments that are musically very interesting to me. "Dogs" can still torque me out of shape at times, though that whole album is great commentary on the human condition, to me.
