DSOTM is the perfect introduction to Floyd

And i say this as someone who prefers WYWH and Animals

Beatles

I can't imagine not recommending the Syd Barrett stuff first

Led Zepp is goat

They did steal from black artists unfortunately but then again so did most rock musicians

Zappa discography from start to finish

Can discography start to finish

Yes - close to the edge

You mean the one album he was on?

that was also complete mid

They stole from their own contemporary white bands that they toured with as well and then fought them in court for half a century instead of just giving them the money they deserved

come on you really think any first timers to rock music are gonna like Piper more than DSOTM? theyre not ready

same reason im not exactly gonna be quick to recommend some of my favorite artists in here

Niggas d***ride Syd Barrett so f***ing hard Gimme Animals, WYWH, Meddle, Atom Heart, over Piper

You have just done exposed yourself

At the end of the day, I’m can’t and won’t convince you why they’re great, atleast to me.

Saying they not in the top 50 bands of all time is wild though man. These mfs dropped Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt. Pepper, The White Album and Abbey Road in the span of 4-5 years. You don’t think they atleast deserving of a top 40 spot?

Idk aren't bands like Foxygen and Wizard Gizzard or whatever that are popular these days more in tune with 60 psychedelic then overblown 70s stadium s***?

I dont care about white people getting robbed

I already said Kinks many times

But it was white people doing a rock and roll approximation of white people classical and baroque music points the same page a thief

Revolver is okay without the corny culturally appropriated indian songs

Sgt Pepper is corny to me

White Album has too much mid but also some of their best songs

Abbey Road is a classic

Beatles werent consistent enough for me to put them on my goat list

What bands from that era do you consider consistent? I'm not usually one to defend the Beatles but they definitely had less filler on their albums and pretty much anybody at the time

That’s fair

Atleast you listened and have a respectable perspective

Sgt Pepper my least favorite out of those 5 as well. But A Day In The Life is a masterpiece.

not the experimental side. and also the uniqueness of Piper

we cant act like artists/bands like Tame Imapala who are much bigger than those 2 arent in tune with the DSOTM kind of thing. really disagree with calling DSOTM overblown stadium s*** anyway, even if it sold so much. its been known as headphones in the dark music for decades. its accessible to basically everyone even though i dont think its a total complete goat masterpiece

idk if anyone is listening to foxygen but you anyway

he doesnt like 60s rock

Deadpeg put me on I'd say Dark Side is half giant stadium jams and half headphone music. Both of my parents listened to it endlessly when I was a kid and I still adore it but I wouldn't recommend it for someone diving into rock if only so they don't have the exact same taste is 98% of people who listen to rock and roll.

I dont f*** with most 60s rock bands outside of King Crimson, Velvet Underground, Jimi Hendrix, or CCR tbh

I wanted to hear it from his mouth

Fair enough they didn't have much filler either
