Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Not to be nit-picky here, but Meddle was released in 1971, and Live at Pompeii is not strictly an album (as excellent as the film is).

I will oblige and rectify ASAP Wink

prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen

That's an impossible request but i'll at least post 10 that are my absolute fave albums of all time
In alphabetically order (i'm purposefully not choosing albums on our top 100)

1 Brainstorm - Smile A While
2 Gnidrolog - In Spite of Harry's Toe Nail
3 Gnidrolog - Lady Lake
4 Grobschnitt - S/T
5 Haikara - S/T
5 Matching Mole - Matching Mole
6 McLuan - Anomoly
7 Moving Gelatine Plates - The World of Genius Hans
8 Mythos - Mythos
9 Nektar - Journey To The Center Of The Eye
10 Quella Vecchia Locanda - S/T


I would've chosen Osanna - Palepoli but most sources say it came out in 1973 not 72 as listed here
