It didn't sell well, but I think Wet Dream is a great album. I'm also glad I bought the CD when it came out rather than be trying to buy a copy now :o

Amused to Death for me. I prefer the album to pretty much everything Floyd produced after DSOTM.

Somebody voted for "Identity". I'd like to hear their reasoning behind that choice.

Pros & Cons: its the most unified of rogers albums, the others are either incomplete (KAOS) or a patchwork of songs in search of a concept (AtD)
also I like the whole bluesy roadtrip vibe and all the life = road imagery

I had to roll with Pros And Cons because it is honestly the only solo album of any of them that I can stomach all the way through.

The Madcap Laughs is my favourite album. I enjoy some of those records in the poll, although nowhere near as much.

For my money, Radio KAOS has the greatest number of good songs. I can listen to KAOS beginning to end without feeling like skipping over a song.
