^Jeez, just stay out of these threads you all instead of this PC-version of trolling.

Not necessarily (I think I had another reason for my choice) and if it does: So what?

Dark Side of the Moon, but it's a fine album. Poll is silly but that album is the most popular and therefore "overrated" heh

I think they all suffer from hyperbole at times, but TDSOTM is the most overrated of these.

Dark Side... because millions of people who hasn't heard much music apart form what gets shoved down everyone's throat (and most certainly not those three other albums in this poll) think it the greatest thing ever. If you only got Coldplay, Oasis and U2 to compare with, its true.

They all sound fine to me and I have no problem with their iconic standings.

^ This. I think WYWH is 10 times the album DSOTM is, never understood the adulation.

Close to the Edge for me.
It's a great album for sure, but I don't see how it should be ranked over Thick as a Brick, DSOTM, SEBT or ITCOTKC and maybe a couple more in the TOP 100 PA ranking. I don't think it's the greatest Prog album of all time. In fact I think I might prefer The Yes Album or Fragile slightly more, it's close between the three. Although I have to say that as much as I like Yes, I put it slightly below Floyd, Genesis and Jethro (and maybe KC and ELP).
But they're all great albums, I can't say I find one of those REALLY overrated, only that I slightly prefer the others.

Hard not to vote CttE, but anything Genesis is always the most overrated

Voted for Dark Side because nothing deserves to be in the top 200 for 100 years lol. This had to have something to do with hype---thus overrated.

Dark Side of the Moon is probably the only one of these to show up in a Rolling Stones top 100 rock album poll, so I'd say that there probably all underrated.

I don't believe in 'overrated'.......they are rated highly, over and over again, for a reason. And as someone mentioned earlier, as well as in my case, these can lose their impact over years due to over exposure and 100's of listens.

No vote. Each of these are iconic albums and an overrated vote likely means you don't love it, not that it's overrated. I don't understand the apparent animus towards DSOTM except it now sounds a bit dated and has suffered over the years from severe overplay. When it was released, it was a musical revelation. If you don't love it, fine, but calling it overrated is just dumb IMHO.

oh that one is easy...
one may be the greatest rock album ever recorded...
one is considered the launching pad for prog rock..
one is considered the masterpiece of prog..
the last... just another Genesis album
Foxtrot.. by light years in the overrated category. Doesn't belong in teh same breath as the other three.
