Greatest Album: "London Calling"

[Deleted]

Astral Weeks isn't really underrated. One of the most famous pieces of music journalism ever was written about it (Lester Bangs' article), and it's #19 in RS's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list. It usually gets rightfully recognized as a classic by the more mainstream sources. In terms of popular impact you have a point though, as I think it's much more of a critical darling than a commercial one.
Great set of choices, by the way. The Piper at the Gates of Dawn is probably my second-favorite Pink Floyd album behind Animals, it's a classic from a year full of them.

Yeah, I just think it's sometimes over shadowed because Morrison is mostly a Jazz artist, but I always preferred the Folk Jazz music like Astral Weeks.

Piper isn't exactly under rated either, sometimes it's put in the same spotlight as The Wall or Animals. I just don't hear anyone talk about it much anymore.

Piper is my favourite Floyd album, die hard fan of Barrett (as you can tell.) Animals is my third favourite album by them.

Pearl Jam Ten.
Although I'm a former fan of Pearl Jam. Brandon Flowers ego is bigger than his album sales.

Morrison's actually been more of an R&B artist since his "classic period" of 1968-74, far as I've heard. That's not to say he stuck to just "jazz" during that period, either, as he tried out various styles of folk and soul and such.

It was a sad day when I heard that Syd Barrett died a few years back. He really was one of the biggest "what could've been" stories of the 1960s. His guitar work and songwriting on Piper is so excellent.

I vote Ten, by the way.

Ten. IMO, The Killers were too redundant on that album and the vocalist grated on me at times.

[Gus Richlen Was Wrong]

Not much of a Pearl Jam fan, but Ten.

[AdamAFL was sooooo wrong]
