Not to be nit-picky here, but Meddle was released in 1971, and Live at Pompeii is not strictly an album (as excellent as the film is).
I chose Pink Floyd's Live at Pompeii too, so I've swapped it for my standby choice: The Moody Blues - Seventh Sojourn.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword
