I know I encouraged the laughter, but why do you not think it's worthy of being a contender?
I only have two real reasons for saying that I might get laughed at for suggesting it: Pharrell Williams who, despite being good on his two tracks on RAM, is rather irritating, and the fact that it only came out last year so I'm a bit wary to declare it as the greatest album. But it is a superb album, in my opinion - I think
Beyond and
Touch are probably the masterpieces, really, not
Get Lucky and
Lose Yourself to Dance.I might be inclined to agree with you, though,
The Dark Side of the Moon is superb. I don't think
The Great Gig in the Sky will ever grow old, and
Eclipse is another favourite of mine. I love most of the tracks on that album though (my love for
Money has waned over the years, sadly).
I'm glad to see someone who agrees - I've not really bought into the hype about Sgt. Pepper's. It's good, yes, but then most of The Beatles' albums are (yes,
Yellow Submarine, I'm looking at you). Although I haven't listened to all of The Beatles' albums, weirdly. I've only listened to
Rubber Soul onwards in full - in fact, add
Rubber Soul to my list of contenders - you can't not love
Norwegian Wood.Why thank you.
