High Hopes off Division Bells is one of the greatest Pink Floyd songs in my opinion, and a great sort of farewell to the fans, it being their last studio album and all.
About The Wall, I love pretty much all of it. It is a bit morose and depressing as Satch points out, but I quite like the depressing bits - f.ex the sad, desperate loneliness of Don't Leave Me Now.
edit :
This is awesome.

Sorry for the late reply but I can call myself a Pink Floyd fan because I like their music, just because I don't like two of their albums means I can't be a Floyd fan? Look at Frank Zappa, look at all the albums he realized. If you were to hate just one of them, you wouldn't be a Zappa fan? If that's the case. Very little people would be fans. Besides, The Division Bell sucked. No Roger Waters? Get out of here. Gilmour is great but honestly no Roger Waters is basically no Pink Floyd, I know that's they said about Barrett but they managed to pull it off. In this case, they didn't pull it off.
I'm not usually a massive music critique but when it comes to my favourite bands I have a certain expectation when it comes to their music. Earlier stuff is absolutely gorgeous. But continuing on from there they got a bit topsy turvy. You could say I'm more of a Syd Barrett fan because I prefer his solo albums to many Pink Floyd albums, but I do love Animals and Wish You Were Here.
Goodbye Blue Sky is also my favourite song from The Wall after listening to it again.
I dislike A Momentary Lapse Of Reason as well because Roger Waters cocky attitude got the better of him. But to have no Waters all.... Just.. No.
