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?

I will agree that Amused To Death is an excellently recorded album. The vinyl release is quite simply THE best sounding vinyl I've ever heard. Seems many people agree, since even used original issues (not the later questionable 180gram release) fetch hundreds of dollars on ebay. Bought mine new when it was first released and I also have a sealed copy I keep for investment sake.

Well...OK, I am going to listen to ATD again this evening and see if I can't finally "get it."

Listen to the music and forget the lyrics Steve. Gawd, I believe the other members of PF have done quite well on their own. R Waters may have written some great PF music but D Gilmour wrote some of the best ones also as well as Rick Wright and Nick Mason.

Don't have Amused to Death but Pros and Cons is also very good sounding. This morning just listened to Eric Clapton Unplugged German import and Hall&Oates Abandoned Luncheonette, both excellent recordings as well.

Big Gilmour fan, have all his solo efforts, have to find Wright's and Mason's work.
