What is the best "album" of all time?

ReyOso

6/24/21 6:02pm

DSotM is top 5. The Wall could be top 10-20. That’s why Pink Floyd is so great.

pink22

6/24/21 6:04pm

For me, The Queen is Dead by The Smiths is also top 5. Many people will scoff at

pink22

6/24/21 6:06pm

I have this album. Very good stuff.

ReyOso

6/24/21 6:13pm

The Wall is too flabby. Wish You Were Here is better.

ReyOso

6/24/21 6:13pm

I think that’s why it’s so great. So over the top self indulging it’s bizarre.

pink22

6/24/21 6:19pm

It's all personal taste, of course. Some people like Animals the best.

ReyOso

Animals is fantastic. I’d go something like this:

Archaea

Because obviously he meant other than U2.

RalphWiggam

6/24/21 6:16pm

So U2 produced the best two albums of all time and the worst two of all time?

Archaea

6/24/21 6:17pm

Nope. Just the best two.

RalphWiggam

Songs of Experience, Pop, and Songs of Innocence are awful. Anything after 1994

Revolver was a revolution in music, but not their best album.

valleus

Seventh Son of a Seventh Son by Iron Maiden is a great metal album.

Ya, I love Pinkerton, it's definitely more complex musically and emotionally but

dazcoug

Pinkerton is a classic example of people wanting music “ownership.” A big part
