Album Rating: 5.0

The thought of expanding upon a scentence here appears to terrify some. Actually accounting for an opinion is an outright impossibility.

It is okay to rate an album whatever a person wants, but if it is going to be the lowest rating and on an album like this one, you better have a pretty damn solid argument or reason to do it, otherwise is just trolling for me

Album Rating: 5.0

I don't know, maybe he was really drunk at the time.

Album Rating: 5.0 | Sound Off

Well that's not a solid enough reason for me.

I was serious.

I mean, I wouldn't understand rating it a 1.0 either but honestly what is this album's contribution to music? Because it didn't invent a new genre, it didn't invent new playing techniques, it didn't invent concept album... it didn't invent anything. Sold a lot I guess and is competently-written overall but how is that a significant contribution to music I fail to see.

Album Rating: 5.0

it was made at a time when electronics in music and just tools outside of the usual basic rock instruments were being made available and pink floyd utilized them in their music in new ways



watch the recording of dsotm tidbits in live at pompeii for more information



plus the simple fact the music was so well produced and so well constructed, it was simply an influence on almost any rock artist thereafter, including today

idk exactly what it contributed so I looked it up and in addition to guitarded's comment I found this

"Some of the profits were invested in the production of Monty Python and the Holy Grail."

if anything DSOTM should be 5'd for that alone

It may have not invented anything, but I'm pretty sure it perfected everything you listed, so that is a huge contribution per se.

Not true at all. Bands have been doing all that at least since the mid-60s.

Alter this album is ingrained into the English psyche and culture, people took it to their hearts on a massive scale, not all contributions an album makes are purely musical development.



Even as an 8 year old I knew of this album, what the cover looked like and what the main theme was. It's in national treasure territory

maybe, but we are talking about contributions to music remember?

"Not true at all. Bands have been doing all that at least since the mid-60s."



not in the same ways dude. there was nothing like any colour you like, on the run, etc, before pink floyd. you are simply incorrect. again, go watch that documentary.

Monty Python tho

I'm also pretty positive that there was nothing like "The Great Gig in the Sky" until this came out.

I love how my 'I don't know maybe he was really drunk at the time' went over everyone's head.

Same.

It's another thing sput is fucking useless at. Doesn't matter if you say subtle little phrases with double meanings or lay things out that a 3yr old could cobble together.
