Tiene todo lo que me agrada de Pink Floyd, guitarras asombrosas por parte de Gilmour, Waters y sus lineas de bajo magistrales, momentos epicos donde viajas a través de la música y psicodelia, un album practicamente perfecto en todos los sentidos.

Top 3:
1.- Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Parts I-V
2.- Wish You Were Here
3.- Have A Cigar

Este es uno de esos discos diseñados para escucharse completamente, es imposible escuchar una canción sin querer escuchar el resto, simplemente se siente incompleto si no lo haces. Es un album que me fascina lirica y musicalmente, una experiencia musical sin igual.
Solo recuerda:"No hay lado oscuro en la Luna, en realidad toda la Luna es oscura"

2.-Us And Them

El segundo disco que escuché de esta magnifica banda, si bien Aqualung me pareció bastante bueno, Thick As a Brick me mostró que esta es una banda que merece mucho más aprecio del que posee, con un Ian Anderson excepcional en guitarra y flauta y Jeffrey Hammond con líneas de bajo asombrosas y una historia fenomenalmente contada a lo largo de una épica cancíon dividida en dos partes.

Crecí escuchando estás canciones que me forjaron de manera significativa musicalmente hablando. Todos los temas se convirtieron en clásicos, John Paul Jones brilla tanto en bajo como teclados, Page creando uno de las canciones más reconocidas de la historia, y una banda provando el porque están en la cúspide de la historia del rock.

Top 3:
1.- Going To California
2.- Stairway To Heaven
3.- The Battle Of Evermore

Fue el primer disco de Pink Floyd que escuché en mi vida y en mi adolescencia no dejaba de escucharlo, es asombroso en todo sentido aunque me inclinaria por el maravilloso trabajo de guitarra de David Gilmour, simplemente me fascina.

Sin lugar a dudas puedo decir que tiene la mejor apertura y cierre que cualquier album desearía tener, con una épica Baba O'riley y sus sintetizadores anunciando una epicidad que nos llevaría a la cúspide del disco cerrando con la otra obra maestra Won't Get Fooled Again.

Top 3:
1.- Baba O'Riley
2.- Won't Get Fooled Again
3.- Behind Blue Eyes

El penúltimo disco en grabarse pero el último en publicarse.
Si bien no es su mejor trabajo trajo consigo la última presentación de la banda en ese legendario concierto en la azotea de los estudios Abbey Road cerrando un ciclo en la historia del Rock.

1.-The Long And Winding Road
2.-Across The Universe
3.-Two Of Us

El genio musical de Bowie es algo que nadie puede negar, y este álbum es la cumbre del Glam Rock narrando la historia de Ziggy (un extraterrestre bisexual de imagen andrógina) en donde cada melodía, cada nota y cada palabra del disco funcionan a la perfección con la teatralidad y la ciencia ficción traida a escena por el maestro Bowie.

2.- Lady Stardust

Un album en vivo magistral con presentaciones espectaculares que a mi parecer superan a las versiones de estudio por mucho demostrando la calidad de la banda y la energia que siempre los caracterizó.

1.-A Quick One (While He's Away)-Rock And Roll Circus
2.-Baba O'Riley-Shepperton Film Studios
3.-Won't Get Fooled Again-Shepperton Film Studios

Un concierto benéfico en el emblemático Madison Square Garden de Nueva York con presentaciones excelentes y la participación de grandes músicos Eric Clapton y Bob Dylan, en una época en que ambos vivían recluidos del mundo de la música, así como Billy Preston, Badfinger, Leon Russell, Shankar y Ringo Starr.

1.-Beware Of Darkness - George Harrison
2.-Medley: Jumpin' Jack Flash/Youngblood - Leon Russell
