I have all PF albums from "Atom Heart Mother" to "The Division Bell" (excluding "The Final Cut" who bored me to death). And still DSOTM is the most progressive album of them all, being the previous one more symphonic and being "Animals" my favorite as the heaviest IMO. Sadly "The Wall" is too pop, and the ones without Waters as good as they are don't preserve the magic of DSOTM.

'The Great Gig In The Sky' kicks all asses

[Walter_Langkowski]

Totally forgot about one of my favs, just a devastatingly powerful album, and that would be Paradise Lost-"Draconian Times" (1995).

The best albums are the ones that are so unique that they can never be copied, even by the same band.
