We thought so when it came out, probably before most of you were born! I do think that Dark Side of the Moon holds up much better thematically. Moon was more a 60's album, so those of us who came of age in the ucky 70's figured The Wall was our Dark Side of the Moon.

Phil Daniels played Jimmy Cooper.
"they don't give a shit Keith Moon is dead,
is that exactly what I thought I read?"
Is there anything else out there that comes close to the epic of The Wall?
mmmm, nope.
How about everything they've released before the wall?

alright, so there's at least one other person who favorite Floyd album is The Wall. Granted, many of their albums are mind-blowingly good, but there's something special about The Wall that really seals the deal for me. Some could say that there are dull moments on the album, but I find the ebb and flow of The Wall appealing.
What is special for me is the whole concept of it and the fact they were able to pull it off IMO. The story, music, lyrics, the live show, movie, the whole concept was just incredible. Depressing? Who cares, I like depressing. I just found the project to be slightly more ambitious and ballsy. Gilmour's playing on it is fantastic, as were his song contributions. If there was one show I wish I could have seen from anybody, it would have been one of the few Wall shows. I would have been in awe.
Of course Animals and WYWH are mind blowingly good but I do find myself day dreaming a tad more on those. the Wall never loses my attention. Splitting hairs here as those 3 just rule.
Listening to it is more of an event for me, no chance on just hearing one or two songs, I sit down and listen to the whole thing. I have to.
I also absolutely adore the Final Cut. Maybe it is just a Waters fixation

ignoring the Clash, are we?
i have the remastered version and it sounds incredible, imo.
There is a 77 floyd concert from Oakland that circulates on the BT sites.
It blows the album away.
