 immediacy: Wish You Were Here
One of those rediscoveries was Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here, which rose to the top of my list.
If you had asked me before this exercise which Floyd album was my favorite, I probably would have picked The Final Cut or maybe The Wall, but I've (re)listened to all of these and it is Wish You Were Here that affects me the most.
But it's not the lyrics that appeal to me here (I like the bitter Waters of The Final Cut for that), but the dynamic music, and I use that term in its musical sense, i.e, I like this music for its range and variance between soft and loud.
