Greatest album ever...

[Tom]

...is obviously The Dark Side of the Moon. There isn't a single weak track or bad line on it. Its a masterpiece and surpasses anything made before or after.

YouTube - Pink Floyd - Us And Them

 

[DaGaffer]

"I haven't had a shave for two months" and now this. You're really getting your 70s freak on aren't you? Hippy.

 

[dysfunction]

Pink Floyd are shit.

That is all

 

[TdC]

ban!

 

[Tom]

Pink Floyd are shit.

That is all

They may be that now, but in the 70s they were astoundingly creative.

 

[Dark Orb Choir]

pink floyd own, apart from the fact that you can't listen to them on spotify as EMI are Nazis


i have all the albums anyway

 

[megadave]

Anyone else have the Pulse DVD? It is fantastic and beautiful

 

[caLLous]

I wasn't alive then but Rumours by Fleetwood Mac is clearly the best album from the 70s!

 

[dysfunction]

They may be that now, but in the 70s they were astoundingly creative.

I have never really liked their music. even the 70's stuff.
The odd few songs here and there but generally I don't enjoy their music at all.

Tubular Bells brings back memories for me. Was young then and naive but I had me a big Rover 2000 with a tape deck. Great bird puller. Used to drive down to Barry to see my mate and sometimes listen to Tubular Bells. Those were the days. You could fall asleep at the wheel then and not hit another car on the way home before you woke up. Nowadays you would end up in a pile up. Progress - piff!

Heh, when I saw the thread title I instantly thought of Wish You Were Here. It's clearly better than DSotM.

 

[old.user4556]

You gotta be in the mood for DSotM, it's a superb album but there is a time and a place for it. It ain't background music, it ain't driving to work music, it ain't party music.

I don't agree with Nath on WYWH, but I do think Have A Cigar is one of their best songs .

Edit: Rumours is absolutely up there with it btw

 

[throdgrain]

Heh, when I saw the thread title I instantly thought of Wish You Were Here. It's clearly better than DSotM.

I agree with this, though its not the best album in the world, it's the best Pink Floyd album.

I think the best album ever is a choice between -

Never Mind the Bollocks -Sex Pistols

or

Physical Graffiti - Led Zeppelin

I would also like to substitute "my favourite" instead of "the best"

I would also like to thank Tom for making the first thread on here I've been even vaguely interested in for about 6 months.

Physical Graffiti has some rawking classics on it.

Thing is, the live versions seem to carry off better than the album versions; for some reason the songs feel a bit toned down for the album? Maybe they just fucking own live. My opinion I suppose, but take a look at this:

YouTube - Led Zeppelin - Earl's Court (1975) - "Trampled Underfoot"

[Fuggz]

Am gonna listen to those last 4 or so posts. There must be something in them for sure. Hope I ain't disapointed (probably will be though - damn well Beethoven for me soon!).

 

[mooSe_]

I listen to black metal but even I agree that harder, better, faster, stronger is a good song.

 

[Dark Orb Choir]

yeah, i fucking love the sound the air makes coming through the holes in this hinge............

 

[00dave]

Got the interstella 555 dvd before youtube got popular. Always wanted to know how it ended lol.

Snow patrol final straw album is doing the rounds in my cd player at the moment. Forgot how good it was.

While we're on that theme:

I know this got it's first punt on Teen TV, but that doesn't stop it being beautifully sweet and sad all in one song.

YouTube - Honey and the Moon - Redemption's son album (Joseph Arthur) with Lyrics

THis post took ages. I started thinking I could bang out one tune and it'd be the one I liked best, but then more and more great bands came to mind, so I ended up just scrapping it all and I just wanted to point you to the following three (it was a really tough decision to strip it down to just these, so don't take this as my only opinion) which I'd like you to at least listen to.

This one has no video.
YouTube - Kyuss Gardenia
From "Welcome to Sky Valley" by Kyuss

YouTube - Heaven or Las Vegas - Cocteau Twins

Floyd rule, but their very early stuff is terrible.
