Increasingly this becomes a Beatles vs Stones show as we get into the later innings. But wait - why the fuck did it take Pink Floyd so bloody long to get their good songs in there? And AOC gets her big shot.

    Rolling Stones - Let it Bleed
    Pepper, for better or worse, is probably the most influential rock record of all time. It's cliche to say so but it's the truth. I think there are better Beatles records though. I respeck Dark Side a lot, especially on good stereo equipment. But I'm just not a space rock guy in my soul.

    Now, Let it Bleed is a record I've probably listened to more than the rest of these combined. You've got the big Hot Rocks tracks like Gimme Shelter, but the deep tracks are where it's at on Let it Bleed. Monkey Man is a coked out as the Stones got- e.g., see helicopter scene in Goodfellas.

    Can't wait until we get to 11 and the Wall

    I love Comfortably Numb - both the song and the feeeling

    Floyd and Fleetwood Mac figure prominently in extra innings. But the Beatles and Stones have plenty of fight left in them.

    The Kinks were were always stuck in 4th place of the original British Invasion groups, but don't sleep on their late 60s and early 70s albums. Lola was a lot more than just the title track and hit single.

    Truth. The field is surprisingly strong this far in. Seems like with most of the post post 60s and 70's artists, they start to run out of good material by the 4th or 5th album in.

    If you expect #1 on Rolling Stone Mag's list of the top 500 albums of all time to poll well on a college football message bored you, Sir, are mistaken.

    Neil Young - Zuma
    Tough one yella. I threw my vote away on a third party candidate. Zuma has a special place for me. I went through some tumultuous times in my 20s, with chicks and work/finances but mainly chicks. Zuma always spoke to me in my foggy, heavy drinking, frequently depressed state in a way no other album ever has.

    But Dark Side should win this.

    Hard to unbecome a gear chucker. When I do fly fish it's with a big, weighted, rubber legged stonefly, a dropper to a single egg, split shot pinched on the leader, and a big ass corkie as an indicator. Basically jig and bobber fishing. I'll even put shrimp oil on them where allowed.

    I look down my nose at myself while doing it.

    I all chuck gear all the time with a fly rod. Axe @dflea . I was fishing a plastic bead egg with split shot and big ass bobber strike indicator. I could have borrowed his plastic worm and got to the glory hole first, it would have been me that caught the fish.

    Sucks for Sgt Pepper because it was an incredible album.

    Kinks also had some bad luck with this draw.

    Dark Side is one of my top 10 albums all time, but to each his own.

    I love REM but I feel they lost something special when they switched from IRS to WB. Fables of the Reconstruction, Life's Rich Pageant, Reckoning and Murmur are all lights out albums released by IRS. Even their B-side album Dead Letter Office is good. From the moment they released Green in '88 or '89 they went from being a southern rock, college band to a slicked up, ultra produced version of what they were. Moments of brilliance but no consistency and none of that essential southernness that initially made them special. JMO.

    The Cure, Disintegration. Dark Side, Pepper and LIB are all so fucking good but the Cure is my favorite band and Disintegration is my favorite album by them. I gotta stay true to myself. A fag.

    Cheers to honesty!

    Dark Side is one of my top 10 albums all time, but to each his own.
    I think for most classic rock guys it's in their top 10. I'm just the outlier. My tastes have always been more in the classic rock genres influenced by folk, country, blues, soul, etc. vs the more progressive rock side of things.

    We’ll be skipping over Yellow Submarine since that wasn’t a real Beatles LP. Just a cartoon sound track with 4 original tracks.

    Wish You Were Here beats any post-SgtPepp Beatles album

    And I misspoke about Yellow Snubmarine, I meant Magical Misery Tour

    No way. Wish You Were Here is my favorite Floyd album, but it can’t touch the White Album or Abbey Road.
