I'm not sure if that was a joke or not, but I love Piper. Syd Barret was a great songwriter and some of my favorite Pink Floyd songs appear on that album. Astronomie Domine, Matilda Mother, Interstellar Overdrive, Bike, and Scarecrow and just as strong as anything else Pink Floyd did. And Syd Barret rocks!
Anyways, I prefer Wish You Were Here over Dark Side of the Moon. Honestly, I prefer Meddle to both of them

Both albums contain Rock songs, but WYWH more than DSoTM.
Doesn't matter anyway - both are Prog, and DSoTM more than WYWH.

I guess Wish you were here...but it doesnt bother me which one gets the thrid possition, I just dont like to see two albums form the same band in the top 10, much less in the top 5! It should be more divers

It really doesn't matter to me. They're both a tie anyways.

Exactly. Which is why I said those people don't "get" the album.

Every time SEBTP surpasses CTTE in the top 100, everyone freaks out. Nobody seems to notice the competition for third that is going on between Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here. I am personally unable to decide which one I prefer, so what does everyone else think? |
as i just said on the aqualung thread, less/more/most progressiveness shouldn't be the definitive criteria for the judgement of value; music does have many other aspects that contribute to artistic brilliance. imo, Dark Side is less acomplished in complexity, progressiveness, "roundness", as Wish is, but is much more accomplished in other aspects that make it great art, further away from being just great music. it has an outstanding capacity to imply, create and offer meaning, through hymn-weighting tunes, with such effectiveness that makes it more than musically relevant to the listener, but deeply personal relevant to the listener's self. that's what makes it a masterpiece. it gets my vote.

It isn't overrated... You're wrong... it isn't overrated.

Dark side of the moon for me.
My vote for the best PF album goes to Atom heart mother, second is Medlle

It's considerably better than WYWH, which IS overrated.

I prefer animals and the wall to both of those, but just between the two I gotta say Wish you were here
