Abbey Road VS The Dark Side of the Moon

Two legendary albums, but critically acclaimed by almost entirely different reasons.



Now which one's better?

Abbey Road is my favourite album of all time (by my favourite band of all time), so yeah.
Zydar is my new hero.  I just laughed so hard I nearly shat.

Dark Side of the Moon. I honestly don't like Abbey Road that much.

This is truly a tough decision. Both albums belong in everyone's music collection because of how brilliant they are. However, since Dark Side is a Top 10 album for me, I chose that one.

I just can't get into the Beatles, I appreciate their influence and all but it's just not for me, so Dark Side all the way
Must've been Kwyji sending all the wrong songs.   ;D

Abbey Road-Side Two is my favorite album side ever.  Years ago, after a tough 12-16 hour work day, I might need 5-20 minutes to mentally unwind and 'get my mind right' before talking about the day with my wife.  For some reason, listening to it worked.  It doesn't sound so bad at 10AM or 2PM either.

Dark Side of the Moon-  Side Two is easily a Top Twenty side.....but best for when one can 'drift away' with some assistance from Mother Nature;-).  And I have been on the giving and receiving end of the clocks as a wake up call. 

We did try it to 'The Wizard of Oz' one time............there were 'moments' that it matched

 
...going along with Dragon Attack's Queen thread has been like taking a free class in Queen knowledge. Where else are you gonna find info like that?!

I'll go with The Dark side. I enjoy Abbey Road, but there are probably five albums by The Beatles that I prefer.

Abbey Road, not even close. I find these results disturbing.

Abbey Road, though I like Sgt Pepper better  :P

I feel like Sgt. Pepper's would be more appropriate in this poll rather than Abbey Road.

In either case, would go with Dark Side of the Moon. Abbey Road is great, but Dark Side is one of the most holistic and universal album experiences in rock music IMO, even if it's not my favorite PF album.

Abbey Road vs Wish you were here would have been tough.

Here however, I pick Abbey Road without hesitation.

Abbey Road, easily. Dark Side is a good album, but it's no The Wall or Animals. Abbey Road on the other hand is the best Beatles album.

Easy one for me: DSOTM.
I like, don't love Abbey Road. When it comes to The Beatles albums I much prefer Revolver.

Funny, I just posted something about a greatest album of all time Facebook poll in the Rush thread. Then I go to this subforum here and there is a poll of exactly the two albums that were the finalists on the facebook page :D
Dark Side won, and I voted for it. Both are masterpieces, but I voted for Dark Side because I thought it'd get less votes... I'll vote for it here too.
