| Hopefully a poll that hasn't been made before, which one do you think is better? And I am not asking about influence, but simply which album, on it's own, is better. |

I'm going for Sgt. Pepper; yeah DSOTM is more progressive but I've always been a closet Beatles freak  Besides Sgt. Pepper contains one of my favourite songs ever - A Day in the Life!!------------- A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!! |

Dark Side....that album has had a much bigger impact on my life than Sgt. Peppers. There aren't many songs that can beat Time, in my opinion.

My preference in order for the tracks on the two albums is as follows:
The first 4 tracks on DSOTM have to be considered as a single track IMO.
She's Leaving was a nice song but totally out of place on Sgt Pepper.
Good Morning was just a filler
Lovely Rita and When I'm Sixty Four are not at all good.
The last four Pepper tracks listed could have been held over for the White Album and replaced on Pepper with Penny Lane, Strawberry Fields and It's All Too Much. It would then have provided a serious challenge to DSOTM.

Sgt. Pepper for me. Both are great albums, but for me I'll always feel that the Beatles laid the ground work for much of the music that followed and Sgt. Pepper was one of their, if not, their most influential album. I like DSOTM quite a bit, but IMHO, it's not even their best album or that progressive.

I so thought that Sgt. Pepper would take it, if only for the Peter Frampton and the Bee Gees movie soundtrack. ;) Some might rake me over the coals for this, but I don't think of Dark Side of the Moon as that Prog. I consider earlier albums to be more in the progressive rock vein such as Atom Heart Mother (which happens to be my favourite Floyd studio album, particularly for the suite). ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Various music I am very into: a youtube playlist with two tracks per act |

Sgt. Pepper has an excellent production, and for its time it was groundbreaking, but Dark Side is better: the production is also very good, there's a more unifying concept that on Pepper, which is amazing in itself, and the standard of compositions is higher.
So it is Dark Side Of The Moon for me.

I love The Beatles as much as the next excruciatingly-influential-masterpiece-proto-prog-fan, but Dark Side is a much more complete whole. There are several tracks on SP that make me cringe (primarily the McCartney contributions - whoda thunkit??); When I'm 64 drags the album down a notch all by its lonesome. Now, a poll comparing Dark Side and Abbey Road...that would be a harder call...

Dark Side. While I think it's overrated and that they have better albums, I've absolutely NEVER seen whats so special about Sgt Pepper. Its a collection of two minute pop songs...theres some catchy parts, but the only part worth anything to me is A Day in the Life. Oh, and Dark Side is produced by Alan Parsons, which means its about as gentle on the ears as music can be.

I haven't voted yet.
I'd say without Sgt. Peppers there would have been no DSOTM, as in it paved the way for a lot of great music and proved that non-traditional rock could generate a huge stream of income for the record companies, so they became inclined to sign bands like Pink Floyd. Of course, The Beatles had been proving that for an album or two before Sgt.
It is said Sgt. Peppers brought the world (or at least those who had radios/stereos) together for at least one day in June, 1967. On the other hand, how many years did DSOTM spend on the Billboard Top 200 album list? Wikipedia says 741 weeks, which is a remarkable achievement regardless. There must be something in those grooves that speaks to a good many people.
I too have never been without either. ------------- Can you tell me where we're headin'? Lincoln County Road or Armageddon. |

Yes, Nick Mason gave a fairly detailed account of this in his book, ''Inside Out''. If I recall correctly, there really wasn't that much admiration or respect between the two acts until years later. At the time, it was just two groups who happened to be sharing a studio.

There's a tape recording of very poor quality in which Syd Barrett and some of the Beatles play "What a Shame Mary Jane". The singer is clearly Barrett. The tape has been recorded in 1967 at Abbey Road but it's a sort of joke there wasn't a project behind, surely. ------------- Curiosity killed a cat, Schroedinger only half.

| Two different works in spite both are prog. DSOTM is a very musical album but one of its main feature is its experimentation towards sounds only that appear disordered some times. However SPLHCB also is very musical and experimental album but shows a mature music group that uses sole sounds with care and wisdom. |

How is it just a pop album Sgt. Pepper?
I like Dark Side of the Moon better but to the Beatles credit they were going way outside the norm of rock music than what even Pink Floyd was doing in 1973. Particularly, in the aleatoric (chance) orchestral section of the “A Day in the Life” with it’s two completely different songs, two different lead singers and two different outlooks on life by the two singers. Or the tape looped ending of voices on Sgt Pepper Inner Groove or the songs that are cross-faded into each other. I guess that technique went well in Dark Side of the Moon. "Good Morning, Good Morning” was known for its fluctuations in meter and rhythmic patterns. Superficial" use of taped animal sounds “Within You Without You” is a complete fusion of Classical Indian with the spirit of 1967. The calliope tape loop collage that runs through "Being For The Benefit Of Mr Kite". |

| DSOTM is so...rich and powerful while i find Sgt. Pepper a little flat and not as trippy. I think my choice is obvious..lol |

| Dark Side of the Moon is more popish than Sgt. Pepper. Dark Side got some songs really similar to the White Album tough but with horrible saxophone that sounds like the 80's. |

Both, please.
Each has a place of honour in my collection -- why on earth would I have to choose one over the other? These rock masterpieces have totally different moods.
I'll say it again; art is not sport, or a competition. Many things are more or less equally good. We need variety. I find this "A vs B" outlook on music to be rather juvenile.

^ perceptive post certainly. For me Floyd's music post Syd becomes rather irrelevant BUT: I think the lyrics on Dark Side of the Moon are on a par with any acknowledged instance of psychological insight vis a vis the humanoid critter in any genre of popular music. They are so confrontationally honest they hurt: Every day is getting shorter never seem to find the time Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines Dark Side of the Moon is an existentialist masterpiece albeit with a rather bland soundtrack -------------

I think I'm a lonely sailor in this site because although I LOVE Progressive Music, The Beatles are my favourite band, and I always vote on them on every poll, even against Pink Floyd, Genesis, Yes, Gentle Giant and other fantastic prog bands ! ------------- Symphonic Prog Master |
