All I want is another gem

Hey guys :) So, of all the albums I know and listen to there are 7 that stand out, 7 that I consider to be 'perfect':

None of those albums are in my personal top 1000 so I may not be the right person to suggest but I think 

My first thought is Transatlantic's "The Whirlwind" (or the live version "Whirltour", which is the one I have and know). Just wonderful stuff from beginning to end (well, the very last piece is not as good for me, but it almost feels like a piece out of the rest of the album). I'll check out some lists of albums later on and see which ones I think might go right with yours. Oh yeah, I might add, Soup's last album, "Remedies" is really wonderful. And Georgius two albums are great too (talking about new releases that are fresh in my mind because of that).

He probably never heard Deyss yet either.  

I don't mind lyrics that are not english :) in fact if you have an instrumental album, then bring it on! When I say 'perfect' I mean something that leaves a great mark in me. I know nothing is perfect ! I will listen to the ones already recommended and I'll have, at least, new additions to my 'collection'

Different people different tastes, I mostly agreed with yours, here is mine, mainly looking at it as a desert island list, so there are many different styles, not to get bored:

Well, I doubt I can be of much help since our ideas of "perfection" seem to be totally different. You chose all the wrong Pink Floyd albums, you chose "Misplaced Childhood" and "OK Computer", which both leave a lot to be desired, and no VdGG album is perfect for you. Nevertheless I will try:

This is one of my absolute favourite albums:



And here is another one:



But I sincerely doubt either is to your liking.

The first band I ever got into as a kid was Pink Floyd. I still remember the first time I heard Dark Side of the Moon. They had closed down school because it had snowed, and a friend of mine brought it over. I spent all day listening to the album over and over, because I was so memorized by the sound. They were the first thing I really spent my own money on, I saved up and slowly bought their when discography, live albums and all. Now I'm more into the Avant-Prog side of things, but Floyd was so instrumental in the development of my musical tastes that I think I can help you out.

I have an internet friend that runs a project called Annöt Rhul, who's album Leviathan approaches pretty close to that period of Pink Floyd: https://youtu.be/u8XFsRB-Pjo

Nektar is a pretty overlooked band from the 70's that was pretty similar. Their record company was so impressed by Dark Side's success in the States that the ordered Nektar's A Tab In The Ocean to be remixed so it could be re-released in the U.S. Sadly they never caught on over here, but I've always thought they were the band closest to Floyd without actually ripping off any of their sound. It's one of my favorite Space albums:

Lastly as mentioned above Porcupine Tree. I prefer Up the Downstair, but most people will point you towards In Absentia, or Deadwing. If you really enjoy their stuff I suggest listening to Steven Wilson's solo stuff, It's some of his best work:
