[@drsamurai009]

Very true that everyone's tastes are different. Pink Floyd's The Wall has grown weary to me over the years. It went from enjoying the full double album, to tolerating a full listen, to now just picking out the songs I want to hear. I haven't listened to the full recording in a single listen for probably 20 years. A handful of fantastic tracks sprinkled throughout a lot of filler, but for me, it's the previous album Animals that I should love but just don't. It doesn't work for me on almost any level, lyrically or even music arrangements. Taking the classic story of Animal Farm and drawing a completely different conclusion also keeps me from loving that album.

[@mikearchibald744]

@@drsamurai009 You can like or dislike albums for all kinds of reasons. The Wall is such a huge album that i'd skip huge sections. But there is no doubt its considered a classic, even if we don't care for it. Animals is less a 'classic', for me I listened to it over and over again for god knows how long, and frankly have never listened to either again. But difficult albums are like that, many prog bands I am in awe of the piece and can admire it on many levels but mostly find I listen to poppier stuff. My example is that Anthem by Yes is just a monstrously creative piece of work, but I find myself listening to 90125 over and over, despite knowing its not 'better' and is less originail, though its pretty original for pop. There are people who swear A final cut is their best, but again I listened to it over and over for a shorter period, and haven't again. I like Nick kents pink floyd interview, he goes into detail about why he hates ALL pink floyd after Barrett, particularly after Meddle. Thats likely my favourite.

[@John-k6f9k]

Yes people have different music tastes, If everyone was the same it would be boring.

Great concept. Some of these albums were huge sellers because they are more commercial sounding than other albums by that artist, so ultimately might be less satisfying to true fans of that artist. Or it could just the timing of the release with some of those mid 80s monsters - ie it was the height of the pop video era (Money for Nothing, Call me Al, Sledgehammer etc) which massively boosted sales - plus with the emergence of the CD format and as a result they were massively overexposed. The Wall I’ve never loved it i listen every couple of years as I much prefer Animals or Wish You Were here.

[@frankpentangeli7945]

I totally agree with you about The Wall. It has all the Floyd darkness and pain without the lyricism, sweetness and transcendent beauty of their preceding work. As far as I'm concerned, Animals was the LAST Pink Floyd album. I also agree about Brothers in Arms, Kid A, and Yellow Brick Road. Brothers in Arms is a pretty lame album overall, I would say. I bought it years ago, listened to it once, and never again. I found Kid A to be a total musical collapse after the soaring heights of The Bends and OK Computer. And of course Radiohead never recovered from that fall. In fact their music just kept getting worse. As for Yellow Brick Road, I think it was too diluted and unfocused, and would have benefited (at least musically, if not financially) from having been released as a single album instead of a double. To me, the five albums that preceded it, as well as the two that followed are all better than Yellow Brick Road. I won't speak to Brave or An Innocent Man, as I don't know those albums. Nor will I say much about Pinups, since it's not a very important album, and is not one I've ever heard anyone praise, recommend to me or tell me I should like, let alone love. I've never been a big Peter Gabriel fan outside of Genesis, but I do think So is an extremely strong album, containing some really fine songs. I've also never been a big Eagles fan ... I find them to be elitist and pretentious, and their concert tickets have been unbearably expensive for at least 30 years. So they can kiss my ass. Having said that, I consider Hotel California to be an unreserved masterpiece, beginning to end. As is Graceland, in my view. Unlike The Eagles, Paul Simon is a likeable fellow, and that album was not only profound and beautiful, but also revolutionary. A magnificent work. As for other albums I should love ... but just don't, let me start with The Beatles' Let It Be and Sgt. Pepper. While Abbey Road, the White Album, Revolver, Rubber Soul and Help! are all jewels in the crown of popular music, I think even Magical Mystery Tour is better than Sgt. Pepper. Other albums I'm not crazy about are the Stones' Exile on Main St., Dylan's Blonde on Blonde, Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti (and everything they released after it), David Bowie's Low, Heroes and Lodger, King Crimson's Red, and Boston's debut album, which I loathe (did they release others or just that one?)

[@AbbeyRoadkill1]

@jhillst Boy, I don't hear much rock on Kid A, which is part of why I drifted away from Radiohead a little bit in the '00s. I'm a rock music lover, so when Radiohead stopped writing guitar-based rock songs and went for an electrono-pop sound, it was a change I respected but wasn't head-over-heels in love with.

An album that I feel I should like, but don't, is Steve Hackett's 'Voyage of the Acolyte'. I try to, but just can't get into it. Maybe I should try again. Same goes for King Crimson's 'In the Court of the Crimson King'. Apart from 'Epitaph', which is sublime, it doesn't do much for me.

[@Fuzcapp]

Do I listen to Elton's GYBR as an old man in 2024? Rarely. Is it bloated. Yes. Was it brilliant at the time? Absolutely. EJ took elements of all the genres swirling around in the early 1970's and presented them to a pop audience. As a kid I was blown away by Funeral. It probably was the first long-form prog song I'd really listened to. The glam of Bennie! The old school rock of Saturday Night! The piano fronted RnB sound! C'mon. That album changed my life, led me right to the sources when i was old enough to steal my own records :-)

[@H-mu4bo]

I feel the same about the Clash albums. I like "Give 'Em Enough Rope" as it has some real anthems like "Tommy Gun", but "London Calling" leaves me oddly disengaged and needed a few rougher edges. The songs are good, but it seems they should of left some of the songs for "Sandanista".

[@downhillblur708]

For context I was 22 years old when The Wall was released. I remember being so excited when I bought it, unwrapped it, put it on the turntable. I have never been so disappointed, so let down by any record as I was by The Wall. There was such a disconnect from the soaring progressive grandeur of all their previous recordings. It was so boring and so disco-tinged that I can still taste the betrayal to this day.

[@ThinWhiteLuke]

Wow, rarely do I see a Floyd fan mirror this same opinion. But it’s so true, people talk about The Wall like it’s on the same level or even better than Wish You Were Here or The Dark Side of the Moon. I don’t know what they are hearing.

I'm not a Brit so I don't know your reference, but I suspect "a rock opera rendering of the Stanley Baxter show" is a pretty savage put down! Agreed on many of these for sure, though I still have a soft spot for Graceland. One of many I have similar feelings about is The Who's Quadrophenia, though I have stretched my tolerance for it over the years, still feel it's patchy and not a masterpiece. I always preferred Kid A to the earlier Radiohead, but what made me like it even more is seeing them perform those songs live in 2001. No matter how odd they sounded at first, they still rocked.

Respect for musical creations versus loving the same music is not always the issue. It can be both, either, or neither. Opinions are common. Insight is rare. Thanks for focusing on bringing us more of the latter! Edit: I forgot to include my list of influential albums as you requested. I’ll keep it to three, in chronological order: Naturally by Three Dog Night, perhaps their best and very important personally, and the fabulous group gets no love from critics because they were only hit makers and not hit writers and I always loved them; A Farewell to Kings by Rush, which is not on most lists of greatest Rush albums, but it’s the one that convinced me these guys were truly special and not just competently interesting; and Duke by Genesis, which was the point from which I began to acquire all their past and future albums. There are, of course, several others in my own pantheon of rock music greatness, but this trio were personal pivot points and that perspective always matters.

[@jdd3786]

I didn't know you were _supposed_ to like Pin Ups. I aways thought of it as a cool Bowie covers album that nobody likes.

I have not played it in decades, perhaps time to try again. It is no sacred cow, it is OK to consider it not a sacred cow.

[@PhilSmithRHR]

I can agree with a lot of this. I see your point about Brothers In Arms, but I do think side two in particular is a great moody rumination on war. An Innocent Man was my introduction to Billy Joel as a kid. And I do enjoy a bit of the doo-wop style so it’s not a problem for me. But I can see how a long-standing fan of his earlier work would not enjoy him becoming so big. I do think the album is brilliantly written performed though with some of his very best vocals. Leave a Tender Moment Alone is just superb. Agree about Pink Floyd.

Automatic For The People and New Adventures In Hi-Fi by REM. You won’t find a bigger fan of REM’s ‘80s material than me, so I am a huge fan of REM, and it’s not that I dislike their ‘90s material - I love Out Of Time - and there are songs on Automatic….and New Adventures….that I like, but I’ve just never fully connected with those albums in relation to how highly rated they are. Life’s Rich Pageant and Reckoning are their best albums as far as I’m concerned

[@DEE-o4v]

Love both Pageant and Reckoning.

[@theflyintheointment]

@@davidl570 Yes - even Michael Stipe has said New Adventures is his favourite REM album, but I've long suspected that is mostly due to the fact Patti Smith is on it. It was their first album after their huge new deal with Warners, and you can tell - the production is huge and so clean that you can practically smell the money coming through the speakers, and for me the result is an overly long, middle of the road, somewhat clinical and soulless album. I wouldn't say it's completely terrible - I quite like So Fast So Numb and Be Mine, and Zither and Electrolite are lovely little tunes, but overall the album has always left me a bit cold, and I've never understood why it's always rated and ranked so highly. Sometimes less is more - I always preferred the earlier REM albums with lower production values, when they were a bit more poetic, arty, mysterious and cryptic, and you didn't even know what Stipe was singing about half the time.

My favourite RH album is Hail to the Thief. Some will say it's too long, but it has songs, and lots of them. As a millennial, I remember when Kid A came out, and there were hardly any other bands with their influences. Really, in the early 2000s, the influences that seemed to inspire it, like Brian Eno and krautrock (should probably be COSMIC rock) were very, very far in the rearview mirror. Many RH fans never heard anything at all like it. In retrospect, it sounds nice, but it doesn't have tunes, and it's so morose and I don't understand why

For me, I was 9 or 10 when ‘The Wall’ came out. A neighbor who was a little older, maybe 12-13 had a copy and being exposed to mostly top 40 pop I was honestly a little frightened by this music with the heavy themes, strange voices, and sinister sound effects, not to mention the bizarre cover art. I became obsessed with wanting my own copy and did chores for a neighbor until I had enough to buy one. Being so young, I never really could get into it; I couldn’t understand it the way I could understand a 2:30 pop song. But I would force myself to listen to it. And I did over and over again. I never really understood the adult themes back then or really what the album was about and never lost my uneasy fascination with it. Eventually I outgrew my obsession but never lost the fascination. Even as a teen, the album seemed spooky but I did start to apppreciate many of the songs, like ‘Mother’ and ‘Comfortably Numb.’ But again, I never lost the creepy unnerving when listing to, or even thinking about the album. Then KZbin came along and has completely deconstructed it to the point where there is honestly no mystery left to any part of the music, the process of making the music, band dynamics, honestly nothing. This used to be a masterpiece. Now it’s almost an afterthought. Although I love to understand things, but I think that knowing every little detail takes away the mystique to such a degree that it almost ruins it. Sad to say that this is what has happened here in this case, at least for me…
