Good ranking. I concur with your high ranking of 'Animals', a super dark LP! (The photo was taken by Peter 'Sleezy' Christopherson of Throbbing Gristle). I would make 'Dark Side' higher. I understand the fatigue people have for Dark Side, we've all heard it thousands of times. Still, it is a great LP from start to finish. 1) Wish You Where Here 2) Animals 3) Dark Side of the Moon 4) Meddle 5) Piper at the Gates of Dawn 6) The Wall
@@Octavian7771 new David Gilmour solo album comes out Friday. I hope it’s better than Rattle That Lock. Don’t like it at all. As for the rankings, Dark Side is like the perfect album. It’s just not the kind of Pink Floyd that I like. Longer songs. Space to explore. They explore on DSOTM on some tracks like Great Gig and Any Color You Like. I guess Breathe and Time, too. I’ve been listening to the Endless River at 3:00 am all week when I can’t sleep. That’s what it’s good for. Put me to sleep
@@AP-sd1fl wow that’s a good point. I have not heard Andrew sing on Starless. I have Heavy Construction and Vroom Vroom live albums. I wonder what it would sound like. He’s not my favorite vocalist.
@@AP-sd1fl i might have read that from wiki (which is ttl sht). I would like to revise that statement to: “the closest thing King Crimson did to Devils Triangle is Dangerous Curves from the power to believe. Pretty god damn close actually except for the sounds of the synths vs mellotron.”
As much as I like Test for Echo and Vapor Trails, there's no way that they are better than Power Windows, Signals, or Clockwork Angels! Hold Your Fire gets wayyyyyy to much hate... Mission, Time Stand Still, Lock and Key, and Open Secrets are all top-tier songs! Counterparts is also an awesome album, but definitely not top 5 for me. Power Windows should be up there with Grace Under Pressure. Clockwork Angels should be in the top half (they were in their early 60s, and went out with a bang!!!).
1. Piper at the gates of dawn 2. Relics 3. Atom heart mother 4. Saucerful of secrets 5. Ummagumma 6. Wish you were here 7. Obscured by clouds 8. Meddle 9. Darkside of the moon 10. More 11. Animals 12. Division bell 13. The Wall 14. Endless river 15. A momentet lapse of reason 16. The final cut
A historic piece of music. The lyrics on that album explain the human condition and what underpins modern politics. On tbe left there is a tendency for art, love, hedonism, music… the emotional / creative hemisphere. On the right there’s a tendency for logic, reason, justice, truth… order. If you have an imbalance or if any of the two are to stand alone, you experience misery and chaos. In order for the human race to survive and thrive both hemispheres must be in balance and brought together. When I was a kid I loved the album but didn’t really understand the underlying message . But as an adult it means so much more. Truly a brilliant work or music. Possibly their best album. Hadn’t listened in over 20 years until this evening and your video came up. Glad to see that people are stilll talking about it. 🇺🇸😎
I was 17 or so and just starting to get high. This album was a good one to listen to. The higher production values made it a lot more interesting. God of Thunder with headphones while stoned really blew my mind. And Detroit Rock City is a really good song! It's a great concert opener! This was when I was starting to expand my listening tastes to different types of rock, and this album fit right into what I wanted back then.
Bob Ezrin made this a succes, like he did in 1973 with Alice Cooper Billion Dollar Babies. Bob brought them to the top and without him Kiss was due to getting downhill. It's Kiss' best album together with Rock and Roll Over and Love Gun. Best song on Destroyer is Shout It Out Loud. It was a 45RPM backed with Beth. And then ..... the awful disco of Dynasty and I Was Made For Loving You. The sell out.
@@billadkins5150 I’m pleased to know that I am not the only fan that doesn’t like Destroyer. They changed too much too fast. Rock n Roll Over is a good correction.
Great album, my favorite post-Dark Side Floyd album. Probably because of Richard Wright’s synthesizers. Many fans say “No Waters, no Floyd”. I say “No Wright, no Floyd”. Thanks for posting another excellent RU-vid video. Can’t wait for your Going for the One review.
This is one my top ten favorite albums. This is also the very first album I ever heard on a CD. I had driven to Chicago to visit friends, and one of them had a brand-new CD player. CDS were VERY new, and he was the only person I knew that had one. He put this album on, and at first I thought nothing was playing because there was no sound coming out of the speakers. But then you could hear the synths building up in the background, and that's when I realized that the one thing I couldn't hear was tape hiss or the little tics and sounds you get from records. And the sound built and built and then it went full dramatic and was AMAZING. I was saving up money to get a new computer (I had a little hobbyist Z80 from Timex), and I was looking at Commodores, but when I heard the CD, I went to NYC to Crazy Eddie's and bought an Emerson CD Player. All the CDs in the music store were in a single four-row bin. As for this album.... I love it from beginning to end. "Shine on" is wonderful to lay back and close your eyes and chill to. As for the singing, I'm pretty sure it's all Gilmore.
What year was your trip to Chicago? I can’t remember the first cd I ever heard. Might have been Appetite or some Garth Brooks cd. Sign of the times I guess.
@@coachplyoguy2637 I can't remember the exact year. It was so long ago. I think it was the mid 80s. I'm pretty sure it wasn't into the 90s yet. I bought David Bowie's "Let's Dance" on CD, and it was one of the first albums I bought on CD that I didn't already own on vinyl. Same with Tina Turner's "Private Dancer" (what great albums!) So.... 1984-ish? Consumer Reports put out an issue where they rated CD players for the first time. They said their normal testing methods were no longer applicable because all the players (there were only a handful) had virtually perfect audio and they had to rely on things like programmability, speed to change tracks, and how hard you had to hit it to make it skip, LOL.
@@bobcarn wow then you were an early adopter for sure. Nobody in my neighborhood had them until late 80s early 90s. We were still buying cassette tapes.

I just feel bad for you so I'm leaving a comment. 43 views, a 30 min video, churn it down to 7-10 min. I'm a ex producer, worked with large bands and magazines I know the industry. Don't offer up too many offtopic thoughts, get to the point and hit em with facts. There's a reason old magazine reviews are only 10-12 paragraphs, people can't pay attention long enough. Change your title to something like 'Why you Need to Hear Kill Alive 75'. Engagement is key. Quick and dirty, you have a lot to say but 80% is bloated knock it down.
@@elvisisalive2716 well there’s this old saying: if I had more time I would have written a shorter letter. And that’s the paradox of where I stand as an amateur RU-vidr. My friends have told me the same thing. My background is in proposal management, writing, and presentation coaching for business presentations. I know the hard work it takes to craft a message and get it down perfectly to connect with the audience and resonate. If I thought I could make a career doing this, then that’s the effort I would put into it. So could I do it? Strong maybe. Do I want to put the work effort in??? That’s a serious commitment. For the other stuff, I will try to do better job of limiting the random thoughts that pop up…plenty of bats in my brain. Thanks for the comment and thanks for listening/watching. Late edit: you don’t have to feel bad for me. There’s ppl with serious problems I don’t have that.
@@coachplyoguy2637 See , your response was perfect, to the point and on topic, you got this ;) . You have a lot to say and are well spoken, keep at it and fine tune your ideas.
@@bodowen thanks for the feedback. When I get feedback like that from elvisisalive2716 it's typically because they saw the thumbnail and were intrigued enough to click and suffer for a couple of minutes. They were expecting to hear something else like lots of praise or fanfare for the album. But I've made these about what I am hearing and what is the band doing with the content and the arrangements because nobody is doing that. It requires a lot of work in the background by yours truly, and sometimes I just get it flat out wrong. I figured out recently I got a whole Rush album wrong. Ha! Mea culpa coming soon.
VH1 did a " Behind the music " ep on Kiss Alive. In it Eddie Kramer talked about and demonstrates some of the production techniques he did to create the album. If I remember correctly ( I could be wrong) they did record a couple of live concerts using a mobile recording set up. Most of Peter's tracks were kept from the live shows. I'm sure the video is available on YT.
@@jmsdeco I had read that before about the drum tracks, so must have been the same source. I should find that Behind the Music. Two years ago I watched an entire behind the music on Kiss. And I watched the Kisstory on A&E a few times. Those helped to reignite my Kiss fandom. Thanks for the comment and for watching.
This album was the one I got when I first started listening to harder rock (as opposed to pop). You're right. It's all the good songs from their first three albums, but better! All are amped up and energetic and it feels like you're at a concert.
Most 80s albums seem really dated when I hear them now whether it’s new wave, Rush, Chicago, etc. even 90125 sounds 80s to me. I’ve been listening to Chicago a lot this year and the song Hard Habit to Break has a part in it that reminds me of 90125. It probably not popular that I have 90125 ranked where I have it but that’s ok. I still like the album. It’s just not high up on the list for me.
@@broncodeviltexas I like the song. I really like the “dah doot dah dew” by the horns in the coda. I think I mentioned that in the review. Thanks for listening. Did you like the review?
I saw them in 1975 and to be honest I did not fully appreciate them yet. I bought their first album when it came out, but it overwhelmed me as a 14/15 year old. I agree that they may be my favorite band now for many years.
Thanks for the comment! King Crimson is still my favorite band even though I had hard and heavy Rush and Chicago stages afterwards. I still have Crimson 1, then probably Yes, Rush, Wilson/Porcupine Tree, and Chicago in that order. Pink Foyd is up there, too. Sorry you don’t like my TOAPP assessment. I don’t remember what I said in that video anymore, but that album has some good tunes on it. I like it better than Thrak. And I think Thrak is pretty good damn good. It’s just lacking it big KC songs. No epics. Nothing too memorable that I would stake my own rep on as a recommendation. Getting back to TOAPP, Larks 3 is good. The title track is good. I like Dig Me. Industry is OK. I don’t know I just like the other albums better. KC FOR LIFE!!
Pleased to hear someone give praise to "Test for Echo" and "Counterparts". I actually would probably rank them higher, but your rank is higher than every other video I've seen.
Those are two of my "go to" albums for Rush. I've heard the 70s albums so many times and I generally like their 90s material better than the 80s. Vapor Trails and Roll the Bones included also.
Are you a dental technician? Why are you giving us all the structural details of the songs. Fine if you want to throw that in briefly. But you neglect from what I heard, to talk about how the songs made you feel. Were they bright and happy and good spirited? Did Plant really shine on this or that one? Maybe you did eventually, but I clicked off at 9:41.
From Australia. I grew up with Led Zeppelin. First heard them when my older sister got LZ 2. My brother bought LZ1 and stole LZ 3 from a girlfriend 😉. I. Bought the immigrant song on a 45. Older brother bought LZ 4. Then my sister bought me HOTH for my birthday. That remains my favorite studio album. Rain song and No Quarter in particular. There was a radio station that played new release albums on a Sunday night the week before they appeared in the record shops. We sat next to the radio and listened to Physical Graffiti and taped it onto a blank cassette. Did the same with Song Remains the Same. We bought those albums the week they came out.Can't remember who bought Presence and In Through the Out Door. But I still have the albums. Love them all. Gotta say, for headphone listening and just indulging, the live album is my fave.
Right! Certainly the most interesting song. 🎵 I get goose bumps during the fist will run part. I can close my eyes and hear what Steve Howe is playing.
29:44 You would open up the vinyl album sleeve and there would be a picture of some cliffs on “the edge” of the world. Hence the album cover is “close” to “the edge”. 🤓
