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 forgot about the Seal recording..that is very good. Again, my point is not whether Amused to Death has a great story or such, simply that it is a remarkable recording (although I do like 70% of the tracks). I personally think Roger has some major issues..including hating the USA. I saw him in Denver this year and he actually equates G. Bush to Bin Laden (puts it up on the screen)..that pissed me off and not that I am a fan of GWB. I am sure that he has no problem taking $100+ for each ticket from US citizens. Also, I very much prefer Wish You Were Here, The Wall, and DSOM for the music content. I am also not strictly referring to the Q-Sound effect, although it is kinda cool. Thanks to all for the feedback.
I also forgot to add a couple of other "classics" which were fabulous on LP and still very good on later CD versions.....Supertramp - Crime of Century & Even in the Quietest Moments. Dire Straits - Love over Gold (particularly Telegraph Road, Private Investigations, and Love Over Gold tracks). Also Chris Rea -- Road to Hell and Auberge. Also Robbie Robertson's first solo album is very good. I also thought Peter Gabriel "So" CD was quite good. However, I still stand by my assertion that Amused to Death is the best recording. I also agree with Everest_Audio that the SBM version is the best...How about starting a "Best Live Recording" .. my vote is Neil Young at Massey Hall or Rod Stewart Unplugged.
