It is so not a myth, it is the truth. The myth is that it's a great double album. It would make a great single album, though

I love The Wall but it's not very prog or fantastic in a musical sense.

For me, the first place will come from Tangerine Dream - Force Majeure, Eskaton - 4 Visions, Mezquita - Recuerdos de mi Tierra or Univers Zero - Heresie... The Wall is one of the albums that I dislike more than anything else (even when the movie is very interesting)!!!

So, my vote goes for ESKATON - 4 VISIONS...

According to this site, it was released in '78. That said, DB didn't include it in the best album of '78 poll either.  Actually, if you look at his various polls (and read through the debates) his 'methodology' and biases become more apparent. Best is subjective anyway (some no doubt do wish for an "other" option).  EDIT: as for me, I have enough favourite albums listed to choose from (though Eskaton won).

Incidentally, Hemispheres is my favourite Rush album.

Shushhhhh ! Some PAers have a different definition of the word "best". And some PAers get pretty PO'd about people not understanding the hidden meaning not intended or meant by the originator of the post. If I've lost you, don't feel bad. If you have a lot of time on your hands, you can go over some of those other polls & see some interesting "reactions". Me, I'm gonna get lost & wait to see if hornets sometimes forget about their nests
P.S. Hemispheres is my favourite Rush album, too. Or in this case, make that Three, Hee Hee Hee
P.P.S. DB has put out some good ones, though. Check out the French & Italian ones, where's he's uploaded each album cover as part of the list. Eye-catching to say the least, & an excellent way to pique your curiosity about what may be an unknown band
