These are the top-selling albums in the UK. Which of these do you prefer?

I stopped at six, because most here would vote for seventh placed Dark Side Of The Moon if it was included.

I'm not sure Sgt. Pepper is much better than DSOTM in that regard.

Disapprove Oh well, at least The Sound of Music* isn't one of them.




*I was going to put "The Sound of f*#%ing Music", but that sounds like the soundtrack to a 70s German porno... which would be preferable to anything off this list.
What?

I like all these except for Bloasis, though they managed to fool me for a year or two.

Voted Sgt Pooper.

edit: actually I confess to never having heard the Adele album, not in its entirety anyway.  I'm quite sure I've heard at least a few songs from it and they seemed okay.

Probably Queen. I must confess that I liked the first Oasis album.

I've heard that album. The song "Wah wah, boom chicka chicka boom" is

Sgt. Peppers easily. The only competition might come from Queen's Greatest Hits, but as that's only a compilation...Who voted for Adele? I swear if I hear "I set fire to your house" one more time.
I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

Easily Sgt Pepper, 

Thriller is good too.
Abba and especially Queen have some great hits. I used to like them more than I do now.
I found Morning Glory disappointing. 
I don't like Adele's music.

A prediciatble and miserable selection.

I'll go for Sgt Pepper, although I don't think I ever want to ever hear that album again. Queen are great but I've got all the songs on their actual albums. Abba I can only tolerate in small doses. Oasis are appaling and Adele is irrelvant to me.

My emotional response to any Adele song is akin to that of a duck being shown a Rubicks cube.

Queen can't beat the Beatles with a studio album, nut the compilation has so many perfect songs not to be my choice.
