Random Popular Album Poll

Have a go.

Led Zeppelin IV got me into non-classical music, along with the Who's Tommy.  So IV it is!

[NJ Joe]

I like all of those albums, but WYWH is currently my favorite album of all time.

Awesome of you to include Kid A!

[North Star]

Kind of Blue, with Floyd & Beatles close behind.

I'm voting for the traditional GMG Banana option

Seriously, I love this album. More than Revolver? I don't know...it's close.

Excellent. I thought mine would be the lone vote.

Random popular album poll indeed. My vote went to Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here (naturally), although Dark Side of the Moon and Miles' Kind Of Blue are two other favorites. I was going to say toss-up, but Wish You Were Here holds a special place in my own musical history.

[Jay F]

Abbey Road was my favorite album in 1969, though Let It Bleed came close. LZ IV comes in second from this list.

I know someone that can help with that cough, Ken. Sounds Looks bad.

Have a go. 

Had Pet Sounds been a choice I might've picked it, but Kind of Blue got my vote.  As good as the others are, I find myself listening to Kind of Blue weekly, whereas the others, almost never anymore.

Great album, but not quite up to OK Computer.  Their followup to Kid A, Amnesiac, is not nearly as good as those two or the Bends.

David, I prefer Kid A to OK Computer and disagree about Amnesiac not being nearly as good. I'd say it's nearly as good.

My father (who listens to jazz almost only) says he almost hates "Kind of Blue" nowadays because so many name it as their favorite jazz album as if all the other great jazz albums didn't exist. Personally I find nothing special about the album. It's just a good jazz album among others. People mentioning "Kind of Blue" is like people mentioning Beethoven's ninth symphony to show they "know" about classical music.

Hey, this is kind of true.
But then again, being only as special as LvB 9 is no mean feat..
