Just curious, that's all. I consider these some of the greatest rock albums of all time. What do you say?

I voted the wall just because it has a deeper meaning to it and also, the movie makes it even much more better.

Animals > wish you were here > meddle > saucerful of secrets > soundtrack to the film more > atom hearth mother > ummagumma > darkside > piper (the psych rock songs are ok, but not my kinda style, but astronime dominie and interstellar overdrive are exceptional) > the wall > >>>> final cut / the last two. have not listened to obscured by clouds enough to put it somewhere as of right now. live at pompei is absolutely essential, pretty much a best of pre darkside. amazing production value and all the songs on it are bttr live than studio. some of them greatly better. 1977 oakland " aka mr. pig " is also great, animals tour , both animals and wish you were here played in entirety + money + another song + careful with that axe eugene ( there best song) played live for the last time ever.

whenever i see someone in one of those generic darkside of the moon shirts, i automatically assume they are a PF poser. i once asked a guy what his fav song on darkside was ( cuz he was wearing the shirt) and he said " uh... another brick in the wall) ..

Lol. Some people wear shirts just for the hell of it I guess. I used to wear a Metallica shirt, but the only song I heard from them (at the time) was One.

kind of, if you dont know 1 song off the wall, you either have a terrible memory or i dont even know. how can you have heard the song hey you for 9 years , which says the name of the song , or comfortably numb or another brick or mother for 9 years and not kow the names. also having a poster does not make you not a poser.

Dark side of those two albums now called CD's.

roulettethedog
albums are still called albums. cd is just the format its released on. are you aware that most albums are still released on vinyl?

Why assume? I always start up conversations with guys with those shirts. Anyway I have a TDSOFTM shirt, and can name the exact order of the songs on most PF albums, play bass covers of a few songs, and give you lyrics interpretations. Am I a poser? What if the next 3 guys you saw on the street with PF t shirts were like me? your assumption is not a good one to have.

DSOTM Has Breathe, Money, Time, Great Gig and Us and Them. Wall has Comfortably Numb, Hey You, Mother and Nobody Home. Gotta go with DSOTM.

Comfortably Numb is probably my favourite song from the two but overall I prefer TDSotM to the Wall as an album. Some of the songs on the Wall are pretty dull.

Dark Side, easily. The Wall is great, but I prefer Dark Side's songs. Though, Wish You Were Here is the greatest album Pink Floyd has put out.

I wear a Dark Side of the Moon shirt, along with a Wish You Were Here shirt. Don't be so quick to judge. ;)

Here's the thing: Perhaps Dark Side does have better songs (although, honestly, the album is quite short), however, i am not too fond on songs such as On the Run. Dark Side does create a great mood and has impeccable flow (btw My favorite song off the album is "Us and Them") But, i feel, as an album, The Wall is better. The concept and story are worthy of analysis and the songs themselves are quite amazing as well. I mean c'mon, the album has 26 songs...of course not ALL of them can be to the level of Dark Side...but with songs like "Mother" and "Comfortably Numb" and such, there is definitely quality. Also, the flow of this album is great as well. Its a hard decision, but, for me, The Wall takes the cake.

It's a three-way tie for me, Dark Side of the Moon, Animals, and Wish you Were Here. The Wall is overrated.

Dark Side of the Moon by far, The Wall was good but I thought the lyrics overpowered the rest of the music.

No, a very small number of new/recent albums are available on vinyl. Mostly only the very popular bands are doing that.

I don't like either of them, but I guess I'll go with Dark Side of the Moon. I'm not big on Pink Floyd, though I do LOVE The Piper at the Gates of Dawn!

The Wall, by volume of good tracksalone, but I guess not everyone would see it that way. DSotM is more consistently good, but I still feel The Wall has more good tracks. It is a bit a whine though.

I have a strong strong dislike of Animals, but both that andWish You Were Here should be included in this comparison. Quite often people like that one the most. In my opinion it dosn't really have enough songs to justify beating DSotM, but whatever, some people will just prefer it. As for Animals, I'm not even going to go there. It's even more whiney than The Wall, only with alot less content.
