    All of the last 16 albums have featured.

    If others would like to see what happens if we continue to match albums up against each other with a quarter final round, semi and final, I'd be very happy to continue (please remember the wide variety of titles that could face one another, such as Blue, Nevermind, Pepper etc.).

    If this post receives a couple of likes, or two people comment saying that they'd like further rounds, we'll move on to the quarters.

    (EDIT: Looks like there's at least one ^^^^)

    Thanks for all of your votes and comments. It's very interesting going through them all. :smile:

    Of course. We need an outcome now.

    I suppose as Charlton fan we're rarely interested in any progress beyond the last 16 in a cup competition.

    I'm not alone then. I've listened to Dark Side of the Moon so many times thinking "Why do I not feel anything when listening to this?" I think it's one of those that I 'just don't get'. I will be listening to it again this week though.

    Floyd generally do very little for me. Rattus it is.

    I quite like Pink Floyd on occasion, but I really, really don't think DSOTM is one of their best albums. It's a bit too soft - they definitely went crowd-pleaser, forsaking some of their more adventurous or unusual elements for something millions of people worldwide would soundtrack 4:20 with

    Leaving aside the artistic merits or otherwise of DSOTM, I doubt very much that the band made any conscious decision to go "crowd pleaser".
    I am no expert on post-Syd Floyd but I have no doubt it was a long hard slog for them to forge an identity and sound following the dismissal of their writer and leader.
    In a sense I think that DSOTM was their breakthrough album, but I suspect the level it's subsequent success probably surprised and staggered them.
