Which album is closest to being perfect?

   I'd have to say 'Dark Side'. I've always considered it to be a 'perfect' album in that I couldn't think of anything I would change to improve it.

Close to the Edge - the track - would rank at least as highly - but as an album I feel it is ever so slightly let down by 'Siberian Khatru'. Not that there's anything wrong with it; for me it just doesn't have the same goosebump-raising emotional/cosmic awesomeness of the rest of the album.

	^ If it weren't for "Battle of Epping Forest" it would indeed be very close for me too.

	Went with DSOTM from this lot, but there are several I would put ahead of any of them: The Road Of Bones, The Human Equation, Weather Systems, Images And Words, to name but a few....
