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 try not to let lyrics concern me therefore I think The Final Cut is great and sounds mighty good on vinyl. I don't have the CD.

Caravanserai is great on CD. I haven't heard the SACD. But would love to.

Fade into Light on DVDA by Boz Scaggs is mighty fine sounding.

Elton John/Elton John on the UNI label is killer on vinyl.

Up/Peter Gabriel SACD is great and even better in surround.

Mudcrutch on vinyl sounds great and comes with an uncompressed CD.

Must'nt forget Life on a String by Laurie Anderson on CD.

There's way too many to list.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
