Featuring Imagine, Jealous Guy, and Darling Boy... there's not much more to say. Even though I don't agree with the anti-Paul tunes on this record, and that I don't ouwn it (??) it has earned its place
5. Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
Outstanding music and hearted lirycs makes this one a HUGE clasic. Space rock at good as it gets (Shine on... is a masterpiece)
4. The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway by Genesis
Along with The Wall and Tommy, the best concept record ever released. It shakes your inside out

Does anything rock harder than Black Dog and Rock And Roll?. I don't think so. And Stairway to Heaven is of course one of my favourite tunes. Every song here is from very good up to superb
2. The Wall by Pink Floyd
Comfortably Numb can only be challneged by A Day In The LIfe in my top ten. But this album is not just that. It's an absolute materpiece. No more words. Just listen to it, deamn it.
