Meddle. As much as I love the Syd years, and think that Piper is one of the greatest debut albums of all, Meddle was a complete maturing of their sound that almost broke them out of being the very interesting but still not too solid band they were for a few years after Barrett's departure - In short, the magic was finally working again. Although Side One was a bit shaky, "Fearless" and "One of These Days" are classics, but in the end, it's all about "Echoes."

To me, Dark Side is the most focused and Animals is has some brilliant moments, but for some reason, I always come back to Meddle.
