Best recorded rock album.Amused to Death.R.Waters?

Tell me if there is a better recorded rock album than this.....if so, I want ot hear it. To me, simply remarkable! Yeah, it has weird lyrics..but what a recording and performance. "What God Wants Pt. 3" --amazing! How about something other than the typical "Audiophile-weiney" stuff. Whaddya think? This is better than "Wish You Were Here" or "The Wall" (recording wise -- and those are damned good -- IMFHO). Opinons..suggestions?

If you are a PF fan you should get the D. Gilmour album On An Island. It's quite good. And check out the DVD Remember That Night. It's a two disc set and is also available on Blu-Ray with high quality sound. The DVD videos sound great. R. Waters makes a cameo on the bonus disc as well as N. Mason. They don't play. But there are some great ones that do including Rick Wright and Phil Manzanera.

Another tip for "Life On A String," especially if your cdp decodes HDCD. The sound is phenomenal. The bass on track 6 will give your woofers a workout.
As for "Amused To Death," I never thought of it as well recorded because of the Q sound. I love it but thought of it as trickery. Artistically, FANTASTIC!

Life on a String is great and the bass is tremendous. But, the bass note on Echoes from Remember That Night will knock you out of your seat. It is quite a surprise.

Also try Dire Straits - 'Communique', 'On Every Street'. Make sure you get the remastered versions.
I think some of Peter Gabriel's CDs are well recorded - try 'Shaking the Tree' to start.
Some will disagree, but INXS has some amazingly recorded tracks - try 'The Years 1979 - 1997'
