Best Albums!...Worst/Overrated albums...

best album - 'Dark side of the moon.'

most over rated. in floyds case it's piper

most over rated in general? probably The Stone Roses 'Stone Roses.' - a recent poll voted it best ever.

Nevermind though, good album. - not the best ever though, (see above) they like Floyd have a great knack of portraying calm and chaotic in their sound without losing control. They can both do chilled and energetic whilst keeping the music tight and focused.

Best:
Yessongs - Yes
Going For The One - Yes
Brain Salad Surgery - ELP
Who's Next - The Who
Quadrophenia - The Who
All Things Must Pass - George Harrison
Passion Play - Jethro Tull
I, Robot - Alan Parsons Project
Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd

Worst:
The Final Cut - Pink Floyd (Roger Waters)
any early Beatles stuff before Help!
Radio KAOS - Roger Waters

Overrated (still good, but a little too "culturally known"):
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
The Wall
Tommy (sorry, Quadrophenia's the better rock opera here)
Thick As a Brick - Jethro Tull

Passion Play for Tull, I dunno about that one. Mabe its just me, But I do belive a little album called Benefit is a bit better. I dunno Just my opinion I guess. But the rest of your picks are respectable, and i commend you, even though Yessongs is a bit more like compilation album. Taking the best from everything. Its more of a best of really. I dunno another opinion. If I were you I would just drop Yessongs and Going for the One would be my top pick for them.

overated : DSoTM

I don't think DSOTM is overrated. It really is one of the greatest albums of all time. The WALL is a bit overrated, but there's a thread about that already.

An overrated album would have to be Piper. Yes, there are some good songs on there but come on, Matilda Mother and Take thy Steheoscope and walk (or whatever it is called) are not the most memorble songs ever. The Final Cut is not a bad album but ot a really good one either but is still underrated. It is still better then the Ummagumma studio album.

Rock is almost all from England...

1 Love over Gold - Dire Straits
2 DSotM / WYWH / The Wall - Pink Floyd
5 Making Movies - Dire Straits
6 On Every Street - Dire Straits
7 Animals / TFC - Pink Floyd
9 Dire Straits - Dire Straits
10 Brothers in Arms - Dire Straits
11 Achtung Baby - U2
12 The Division Bell - Pink Floyd

About Italians, I like Lucio Battisti and Franco Battiato (hope you've heard of them)

Best:
1. Pink Floyd - Piper at the Gates of Dawn
2. Pink Floyd - Darkside of the Moon
3. Yes - Close to the Edge
4. Genesis - Selling England by the Pound
5. The Pretty Things - S.F. Sorrow
6. Radiohead - OK Computer
7. Radiohead - Hail to the Thief
8. The Pretty THings - Parachute
9. Marillion - Script for a Jester's Tear
10. Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures

No point of putting anything because nobody reads these anyway. A bit sad to see that poor Shane had been talking to the same schitzo person youngstienbeck and odv for pages 2 to the beginning of 4.

Nice list

Davros: I kind of like "Take Up Thy Stethoscope And Walk"

Any Floydoid who lists 5 Dire Straits albums in his top 10 can't be all bad.

Misplaced Childhood was a very overrated album (and I speak as a Marillion fan).

hey Kayleigh, you'll be glad to hear that script for a jester's tear is on my top 10 of all time. garden party and forgotten son are 2 of my favorite songs of all time.

I'm not such a fan of the early stuff to be honest. I prefer Clutching at Straws, Seasons End, Brave and Afraid of Sunlight.

I do think Misplaced Childhood has a fair few good moments, but it's not their most consistent work, either lyrically or musically.

This is hard.

Best, no order (exluding PF, since they would prob fill the whole list...) :
-"Thick as a Brick"-Jethro Tull
-"Automatic for the People"-REM
-"Quadrophenia"-The Who
-"War"-U2
-"Ziggy Stardust"-David Bowie
-"The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway"-Genesis
-"Are You Experienced?"-Jimi Hendrix Experience
-"Soft Parade"-The Doors
-"Under the Table and Dreaming"- Dave Matthews Band
-"I Robot"- Alan Parsons Project
-"OK Computer"-Radiohead
-"Space Wrangler"-Widespread Panic
theres tons more, but I think my fingers would fall off first...

Overrated (but still good):
-"Achtung Baby"-U2
-"Blood Sugar Sex Magic"-RHCP
eh that's all that comes to mind at the moment...I know I know more...

Overrated and just plain bad:
-Anything AC/DC
-90% of the Rolling Stone's stuff
-99.1% of the modern stuff
