The Wall Pink Floyd Released : 1979. Lyrics : Roger Waters. Music : Roger Waters, Dave Gilmour. A well produced album showcasing Waters' talent as a lyricist. This theme album follows the breakdown of a rock performer as he fails to deal with his ever increasingly unreal existence. One of the best selling recordings in history. Quite an amazing performance given that their Dark Side Of The Moon album sold even more copies.

Abbey Road The Beatles Released : 1969. Lyrics and Music : Lennon & McCartney, Harrison My favourite album of the Beatles. I find the second half of the album to very classical in structure. Two great Harrison compositions in 'Something' and "Here Comes The Sun'. It was about this time that the Beatles discovered the irrelevancy of royalty, returning their MBE's to the Queen. I guess Sir Paul McCartney has had a rethink on the issue.

Bridge Over Troubled Water Simon & Garfunkel Released : 1970. Lyrics and Music : Paul Simon.  Their last original album. The recording quality is superb and the music and lyrics are among Paul Simon's best. My favourite tracks are 'Only Living Boy In New York', 'The Boxer', "Keep The Customer Satisfied' and of course, the title track.

The Final Cut Pink Floyd Released : 1983. Lyrics and Music : Roger Waters The last Floyd album before Waters disbanded the group. Strong anti-war theme which was too much of a personal crusade for other band members. Lyrically this is the strongest album I have heard. A very biting criticism of Thatcherism and the Falklands war.
