Were there any post-Wall albums other than that and "The Final Cut"? The latter was admittedly a crashing disappointment following "The Wall", though it had its moments...

Brezhnev took Afghanistan
And Begin took Beirut
Galtieri took the Union Jack;
And Maggie, over lunch one day,
Took a cruiser with all hands
Apparently to make him give it back.

"The Gunner's Dream" on the same album is one that, if it catches me in just the right mood, can bring tears to my eyes.

But it's definitely not on the Floyd Top Five list.

As for "Wish You Were Here" -- that one defies description in its magnificent coolness. It's served numerous purposes in my life, including trip background (or more commonly foreground) music, mood music for playing Call of Cthulhu with Lauri in college, and the ideal album to program by.
