2bitnogoodjive Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Two sonic masterpieces. If you could only choose one or the other, which one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electrophile Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Dark Side of The Moon. Just a personal preference, I find myself playing that album more than I do Wish You Were Here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Klu Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 WYWH. The huge SoYCD parts do scare away some people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zero Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 "i'm stoned as hell, i found three kick ass notes lets go with it" dsotm for me. more intense more focused more relevant more to the point. no actually it has the distinction of being the first i heard at an impressionable age so i feel i may be biased by that in my choosing. i could have done without so much "shinning crazy diamond madness part 20" and maybe devoting the time slots to a couple more shorter songs and maybe stretching it out live, instead of sneaking it past the seemingly morphine slumped producer . still a great album. i can't imagine a music collection without those 3 notes and welcome to the machine in it.

GetTheLedOut Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Dark Side, it's just a better crafted album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floyd & Zep Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 probably WYWH but it's a hard call Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunray782 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 DSOTM, though WYWH is terrific also. My two favorites of theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hand_Of_Omega_91 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Well seeing that Pink Floyd is up there with Zeppelin in my favourite bands, this is a hard one but it has to be DSOTM mainly because it brings back memories of a beautiful summer's day in Hyde Park in 2006 in which Roger Waters and Nick Mason played the album all the way through.

Henrik Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Side 2 of WYWH is ten times better than anything on DSOTM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadScreamingGallery Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Two sonic masterpieces. If you could only choose one or the other, which one? That's a hard question as I don't think I could live without one or the other. I love both and consider each one to be essential PF. In the end, I would probably choose DSOTM because of the way in which the songs flow from one to another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenman Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 A tough one, I preffer Shine On amd the title track from WYWH to everything on DOSTM but I'v never cared for Welcome to The Machine or Have a Cigar much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds Caress My Ears Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Wish You Were Here. It's not even close. What he said. I think I'd be hard-pressed to think of a single album I love more than Wish You Were Here, so I won't even try... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chien Noir Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Dark Side, it's great as a whole album (well, it's almost as one track, though Money is quite cutting it in half, I think that song doesn't quite fit the mood and color of the rest, but still a kickass song). WYWH and Shine On are excellent too but the other two tracks put the album a bit down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muse Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 What's with all the Welcome To The Machine hate? It's been one of my Floyd favorites for years. It's even better live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chien Noir Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Too much noise, not much of a melody, perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kevster Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 WYWH here for me. It's Fat Dave and Shy Rick's fave Floyd album too. It contains their best work with the band (although Dave's guitar playing on Animals is pretty spectacular). Shine On is also by far and away their best post-Syd track. I think, however, it will always be overshadowed by its more famous predecessor, at least in the world outside Floyd buff-dom. Of course, if DSOTM had not been so successful - it's apparently now only one of three LPs (the others being Wacko's Thriller and AC/DC's Back In Black) to have sold more than 40 million copies worldwide - it's doubtful that WYWH would have ended up the way it did. Or would it? There a question... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
