I tend to agree. I was thinking more in terms of last good album before the fall.

As for Pink Floyd, my personal favorite is Dark Side of the Moon. The Wall is a close second.

Prince - Purple Rain

 

[Wolverine]

Rush - Exit Stage Left

REM - a toss up, between "Life's Rich Pageant" and "Document"; leaning towards Life's Rich Pageant

Steve Morse - High Tension Wires

(okay, so those last two are individual artists and these may or not have been their "peak", but the albums are masterpiece performances by mature artists at the apex of their talent)
