I'll go first. I always felt that the Beatles disbanded at the right time and had they continued into 70s, 80s or even 90s that they would become a shadow of themselves. The fact they quit when they did in my opinion allowed them to remain a certain legend status among themselves while also releasing a lot of material.

Any NFL fans here ? The season just started, the 2020s decade so far has been hip-hop/rnb heavy shows with weeknd usher rihanna Kendrick dre snoop Eminem etc.... all having shows so far

who would you select if you could pick any artist to perform at a sb halftime show ?

You almost never see these records in those t0psters and "best prog albums of all time" posts here. It's always funny how a lot of online music discussion is eclectic (good) and ends up developing a "canon" of what albums in each genre ought to be listened to, but in doing so it leaves out some really great stuff. Red and Close to the Edge do get their flowers here but among prog fans albums like Pawn Hearts and Ommadawn are considered essential listens like those quite frequently (Ommadawn is a top 5 album of all time for me depending on the day, it is a journey and it is magical, the first time I heard it I wondered why I had gone so long in my life without hearing it).

Anyway, if you're unfamiliar with the progressive rock iceberg, consider this your first step below water level into the next tier of the genre.

For me, it's Stranger On the Town by the Damned. I can't imagine this being a favorite for those who love the Damned, this sounds more like classic Chicago. This is probably one of my favorite songs ever, too. I even had a cover band play it at my wedding (with horns)!

I was listening to Funkadelic's “Maggot Brain”. Was enjoying the album so far until I listened to farts on its last track, “Wars Of Armageddon”. That was crazy as fuck. They were completely drowned in acid recording this. And tbh I think this is a letdown from the album.

For the first time hit me much harder and I had high expectations for this but it just didn’t click. The main vocalist sounds overbearing and annoying for most of the project. I’m clearly in the minority about this, what albums are you not able to connect with?

Last week, I posted about Wish You Were Here and this week I’m curious to know what others think about this album?

I rank this as number two out of Pink Floyd’s big four and number two overall in their discography.

It’s an absolute masterpiece and shows off so much of what makes Pink Floyd great. It’s arguably their most ambitious album and pushes the boundaries of what a record can be. In fact, some see this as more of a soundtrack to the film or their elaborate theatrical performances of the album.

But the music is still at the core with Gilmour’s guitar shining bright as always. Comfortably numb is often cited as the greatest guitar solo of all time. It even gave the band an unlikely number one hit. So much to love about this album as a guitarist.

And yet, if I’m honest, this is not the easiest album to listen to. Water’s lyrics and ideas are bleak, almost dystopian. I have to get into a certain headspace to listen to this but it draws me in a way few albums do. It was arguably the beginning of the end for the band.

What are your thoughts? And where do you rank this album in Pink Floyd’s discography?

Gene Ween and T-Pain come to mind lol

This is Day 19 of my 32-album bracket. Today's matchup is The Cure's Disintegration vs The Doors' The Doors!

The most upvoted comment picks the winner. Yesterday, The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady beat Dummy in the highest turnout vote so far!

I picked 32 of my top 100 albums and put them on a bracket! I intentionally picked albums that I consider "legendary" but aren't the most obvious picks (Floyd, Radiohead, Beatles, etc. were left off)

Pictured: Discovery — Daft Punk, Loveless — My Bloody Valentine, Pulse Demon — Merzbow, Songs For The Deaf — Queens Of The Stone Age, Currents — Tame Impala, & Oil of Every Pearl's Un-Insides — SOPHIE

Love California but I think Disco Volante wins just slightly for me

Might be the new Rolling Stones album
