WISH YOU WERE HERE

If there is one album I would universally recommend to anyone wanting to get into prog rock it's this one. Pink Floyd are certainly no strangers to the structure of an epic opener, an epic closer and a handful of shorter songs in between, but no other album pulls it off quite as well as this one in my opinion. There is no filler here. It's one of those rare albums where it seems that if you made any changes at all, you'd inevitably end up making it worse, because all the pieces are in the right place and everything was executed perfectly.

The four albums Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals and The Wall are often considered to be the golden age of Pink Floyd. One could easily make the case that Wish You Were Here is at the Peak of that age. The best of the best not only in Pink Floyd's catalog, but modern music history.
