Dark Side vs. Sgt. Pepper

   Both, please.

Each has a place of honour in my collection -- why on earth would I have to choose one over the other? These rock masterpieces have totally different moods. 

I'll say it again; art is not sport, or a competition. Many things are more or less equally good. We need variety. I find this "A vs B" outlook on music to be rather juvenile.

Oxygen or water? Right leg or left?

	^ perceptive post certainly. For me Floyd's music post Syd becomes rather irrelevant BUT: I think the lyrics on Dark Side of the Moon are on a par with any acknowledged instance of psychological insight vis a vis the humanoid critter in any genre of popular music. They are so confrontationally honest they hurt: Every day is getting shorter never seem to find the time Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines Dark Side of the Moon is an existentialist masterpiece albeit with a rather bland soundtrack

	I think I'm a lonely sailor in this site because although I LOVE Progressive Music, The Beatles are my favourite band, and I always vote on them on every poll, even against Pink Floyd, Genesis, Yes, Gentle Giant and other fantastic prog bands !
