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 think the Fleetwood Mac Rumours album produced mostly by Lindsey Buckingham sounds fantastic. One rarely sees an artist who is able exercise such restraint - especially a guitarist.

Rwwear- they may have done well on their own, but to me they all fall well short of what Waters has done. They need him more than he needs them. To me he was Mr Floyd.

Most of the most beloved PF songs are group efforts and a lot were written by D Gilmour whom has top billing on such pieces as Comfortably Numb, Wish You Were Here, Shine on You Crazy Diamond, Echoes and One of These Days just to name a few. I don't discount what Waters has done but he is the one that broke up the band and the one who is clamoring most to get back with the others.

Sadly, it's too late now. Does anyone know if there is a DVD recording of the event they all played at in 2005 (Hyde Park?) I would love to see that if even for the short set.

Are you talking about the Live 8 show? If so, yes. But it is a rather poor performance. Roger is not much of a vocalist anymore.
