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

6/24/21 6:21pm

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

Not a fan of Obscured by Clouds or Saucerful of Secrets?

ReyOso

6/24/21 6:55pm

I’m a fan of all of them. That was quick work.

pink22

I think you’re right on The Wall. Still a tremendous album. Final Cut is

Physical Graffiti is also great.

Out on the Tiles is such a great song.

This is a good answer. This post made me listen to it just now. Good stuff.

Yes, I spaced it. Signals is correct.

Soupie

What, no U2 albums? j/k.

Archaea

6/24/21 6:11pm

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

6/24/21 6:24pm

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

Archaea

6/24/21 6:28pm

You’re kidding…this is one of U2’s best songs ever…and one of the newest…

Jay Rick

6/24/21 6:32pm

Rocky Raccoon is my favorite Beatles song

Not Even Close

6/24/21 6:42pm

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

valleus

6/24/21 6:59pm

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

ReyOso

"Asia", debut album. Love "every" song on it.

I like The Bends a bit more, but OK Computer is great too.

Huge Weezer fan.. I love how people pick Pinkerton over

FulhamUte

6/25/21 12:43pm

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

dazcoug

6/25/21 12:50pm

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

Jay Rick
