If you could have your own Mt Rushmore of the 4 greatest ALBUMS (not singles) who would be up there.
My four would be
Pink Floyd: The Wall (single greatest album ever made, bar none)

Everyone always talk about Shannon but that entire band was tight as hell. Keith Richards talks about “guitar weaving” in the Stones, where the two guitar player weave around each other and you really can’t tell who’s playing lead and who’s playing rhythm. I’ve never heard that concept applied to Blind Melon but I cant think of band that is a better example of it than blind melon. I’ve never heard a band with two guitar players that play off each other as well as those two did.

Always blows my mind when I see people rate The Wall so highly. That album has way too much Roger Waters for me. David Gilmour is the real star of that band and he took a massive backseat for that album.

I feel the exact opposite, Waters was the more psychedelic of the two and Gilmore was more of the standard popular sound musician. Once Waters left the band it become pretty the same as any other band out there.
