favourite album side

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   instead of an album side of one song, what is your favourite album side full stop.
this can be prog or non-prog if you like. Not sure whether modern albums are relevant necessarily to this discussion, since I am not always sure what would constitute one particular album side on a CD.

some of my inputs:

Amused to Death - Roger Waters - side 1 
IV - Led Zeppelin - side 1
Abbey Road - The Beatles - side 2
Crime of the century - Supertramp - side 1
Close to the edge - Yes - side 2

	After careful consideration, I think the best side ever has got to be side 2 of Meddle by Pink Floyd. It is simply unbeatable.
