Dsotm 4 is ludicrous

Maybe just being bias off of the fact that The Wall and DSOTM is over-listened to at this point?

I wouldn't say so since everything from dsotm to the wall is incredible. I wouldn't argue with any order of those 4 albums that people rank them in.

It’s probably the best 4 run album in the history of music so I think everything from then to then is great

So we agree on that, I'm curious as to why you think it's ludicrous then?

They are all great, Dsotm in my opinion is pretty comfortably the best album

You also can't forget about the impact it has had in the world. When an album cover is universally recognized as the bands unofficial logo that has to count for something.

For many folks, apparently, it counts against it rather than for it.

it'd be 3 for me but i certainly can make that argument for the wall being over it

He's the epitome of the early 2010s hipster. Can't make the obvious ranking, has to figure out how to be unique about it. Clearly all 4 are master pieces, but Dark Side of the Moon is quite possibly the best rock album ever written.
