should you save one , which one would you choose - Page 2

Master if Puppets.

 

I actually don't like DSoTM a that much. I love Time, though.

I Don't know... Dark Side if the Moon is pretty great.

... And Justice For All for Metallica. I don't think you'd find much argument about the best phase of Metallica being those three albums between 1986 and 1991 but for me "One" makes the difference. It's like Led Zep: there are several great albums but "Stairway to Heaven" probably gives IV the edge (even if Physical Graffiti is my personal favourite.)

 

With PF it's more difficult (by which I mean, there are a lot of valid choice that you could make an argument for) but I'd take Wish You Were Here before DSotM to illustrate that side of the band. When I was at college I traded my copy of DSotM to a friend for Meddle, which I think is also a better album. And I'm a Waters fan, so I'd definitely save The Wall and The Wall Part 2 (aka The Final Cut ) before I saved DSotM. I'm not so much of a fan on Animals or Piper, but I'm sure that there are people on these forums who rate them above DSotM.

Which Pink Floyd album is your favorite? For the longest time, mine was WYWH. Several years ago, I took a 2-3 year hiatus from listening to nearly all rock genres. Afterward, when I was able to listen to PF's early albums with fresh ears, without the burnout associated with hearing Time and Money far too often on the radio, I found a new appreciation for DSOTM (though I still love WYWH).

I never really got the hype over Master of Puppets. It's an unpopular opinion, but I prefer the Black Album. In any case, as much as I like Metallica, they're far inferior to Pink Floyd as a band, and DSotM is far superior to any of the albums they've produced. JMO

Keeping it short, definitely Master of Puppets. If someone wants to read insults towards DSoTM, I can write them down too. ;D
