That's a lot of P's, Hath.

Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

I was going down the list thinking this was going to be REALLY difficult.

.....until I got to Moving Pictures, OMC, and The Mountain.    Game. Over.

Top 2 are definitely Close to the Edge and Wish You Were Here.

Third one was more difficult to choose. Ended up going with Paranoid, but another day I could see myself choosing Powerslave or Moving Pictures.

  And how do you put Revolver there and not Sgt. Pepper???  I get that Sgt. Pepper is sort of a cliche of it's own at this point, but for a reason.  It was legendary on day five of release, let alone 50 years later.

Revolver has a higher cumulative rating on RYM, and I didn't want to get into picking the albums I personally thought were better.  I was also surprised that Wish You Were Here had a higher score than Dark Side of the Moon.

No, no, I'm sorry, I owe you an apology.  I read your post and understand what you did.  I was more speaking to the fools on RYM.

Pink Paranoid Powerslaves weren't far behind!
