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?

Lots of great suggestions. My suggestion would be

ACDC - Back in Black - a really solid punchy rock sound.

FWIW - there seems to be a common thread among many of the suggestions, so far - Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits), Pink Floyd, Police, Peter Gabriel, INXS, ACDC, David Gilmour, Roger Waters, Tom Petty (Mudcrutch) - they all used the same speakers.

Lateralus by Tool
Not saying it is the best rock recording but if you haven't heard it on your system you need to asap.

If you are into the heavier stuff, Megadeth's 'Countdown to Extinction' was just given the MOFI treatment and sounds pretty good. And the three most recent Tool ablums are all exceptionally recorded (10,000 Days, Lateralus, Aenema). Lastly, early 80's Rush albums were well produced by Terry Brown (Moving Pictures, Permanent Waves are best, with the later having a recent MOFI treatment).
