so many people on here either can't read or are just plain dumb! what part of pick ONE album is so hard to understand?OK if you had to pick ONE album as the best ever what would it be? no multiple choice just 1 album i know this is hard as i have about a dozen that would qualify but pick 1!
my choice ..... after much anguish is pearl by JJ
If you take the triumvirate of Tommy, Who's Next and Quadrophenia (I believe they were consecutive releases), no group can top that accomplishment.
Rubber Soul, Revolver and Sgt. Pepper? But that's the only example I can think of.
If you'll pardon my pretense and nit-picking, I'd just like to add that Animals was actually released in between Wish You Were Here and The Wall. Personally, I consider Animals to be Pink Floyd's best and more underrated album, and if you look at their body of work from 1971-1979 (Meddle, DSOTM, WYWH, Animals & The Wall it's probably the most powerful and impactful decade-long string of consecutive music releases in history. Not a bad album in the bunch (and I might even say, not even a bad song in the bunch).Agree with the choices above and would add; Dark Side of the Moon, The Wall, and Wish You Were Here.
On that note. I agree 10000%. He was and still is a musical Genius.If you'll pardon my pretense and nit-picking, I'd just like to add that Animals was actually released in between Wish You Were Here and The Wall.

Even though it came long after his first run of success, I consider Santana's Supernatural an incredible piece of musicianship. He has such a distinctive style, and yet he can accompany just about any singer, and he takes their music to a whole new level. There's not a bad song on the album, and his guitar makes any singer sound better, and fits with any style. Even as a comeback album after a run of mediocre records (which could have been seen as a "Santana & Friends" charity effort) it's still an amazing album, and I'll never stop listening to it.

I agree as well, the tune "who are you" was recorded at the same time, as Who's next was planned as a double albumIf you take the triumvirate of Tommy, Who's Next and Quadrophenia (I believe they were consecutive releases), no group can top that accomplishment.
I stand correctedI could be wrong, but I believe "Who Are You" was about seven years after Who's Next....but that doesn't change the fact it's a kick-ass song. Gonna have to spin me some Who tunes now....
Especially how it was used in the west wing"Brothers in Arms" and the most under-rated song in the world "One World"
