The Wall is so overrated. It's become, after DSOTM, the bands most iconic piece of work but good lord it's so, so boring to listen to the whole way through. And it's, like The Final Cut, basically a Roger Waters solo effort about his daddy being in WWI, with a bit of Gilmore guitars thrown on top.

Not that I'm doubting the brilliance of Comftorably Numb, or even In The Flesh? which still gives me the giggles.

Equal second favourite album with Wish You Were Here, for me, after Dark Side. I don't really agree with the story of it (The Wall), but still love it musically.

Yeah, they'd be my favs too, but I'd probably go for Wish You Were Here just because of the ambient soundscape. It's an amazingly trippy album and Shine on You Crazy Diamond is absolutely mesmerizing.
