"The only album cover I have a shirt of! There are 2 reasons why this isn't in the top 10 on here: 1) Dark Side of the Moon is an obvious contender for best album of all time. 2) A lot of ppl will only put 1 album from a band on their charts b/c there just isn't enough room. Add it up. With its 90..." [+] Reply

"I have been enraptured by this album from the day it was released in early 1975. It is my go to album, even now (nearly 50 years later). I have it at #2 on my all greatest albums. Timing is everything - I was 18, had moved out of home, was making my own mark in the world, my girlfriend had moved ..." [+] Reply

"There is no single album in my collection that better evokes a feeling as this one. The desperate desire to escape, to better yourself, to change your situation. It's all here. Truly a classic." Reply

"What an outstanding 6 track run we have at the start of this record! Every single song in this run is simply phenomenal with the band giving us some incredible performances on every single instrument present on those songs. Every time I revisit this album I am completely blown away all over again..." [+] Reply

"How much does originality count when grading an album? Normally I go by songs, but an album is more the sum of parts than grading an artist by singles. There's a feel to this album that you only get from a few records. "Opera" is usually graded on the strength of Bohemian Rhapsody but the entire ..." [+] Reply

"I bought this the same day I bought "Born to run" in 1975..for some reason when I heard each of these, I heard patches of the early 60s girl group, phil spector vibe..but my favorite line ."..its as if someone put butter on all the fine points of the stars because when he looked up..." [+] Reply

"Another Green Planet, indeed! This album doesn't feel like our planet, but another one. Eno createst a both alien and dreamy soundscape. This album oozes with ambience. I discovered this album earlier this week, and I haven't heard anything else since, I've heard it like 4 times a day." Reply

"Mellow My Mind ..............says it all, a great album. Tired Eyes is so emotional as are so many songs here. Tonights The Night finds Neil in a reflective mood due to the death of his friend & Crazy Horse band member Danny Whitten and Bruce Berry (a C.H. roadie). Needle and the Damage Done (Har..."

"For some reason, I enjoy this much more than "Rumours". Fleetwood Mac has the same advantage that the Beatles had(not saying that they are anywhere near the greatness of the Beatles), several songwriters and singers that gave much more dimension to an album than most. "Crystal" for me is a standout." [+] Reply

"I was first introduced to Parliament a year after I graduated from college by a girl who put "P. Funk (Wants to Get Funked Up)" and "Give Up the Funk (Tear the Roof Off the Sucker)" on a mix tape for me. It was only then that I discovered how badly I had always wanted to improve my intergalactic ..." [+] Reply
