That would be cool, but I wouldn't want to deal with it all the time.

The Dark Side of the Moon is #137 on the Billboard 200 this week, up three spots from last week.

For some perspective, that album came out 37 years ago next month, and this is now week 748 that it has spent on said chart.

How embarrassing for artists who've released albums recently that are charting LOWER than that.

They shouldn't expect to live up to Floyd's standard in the first place. They just can't win

It's not that so much as the album was released 37 years ago and is STILL charting. It consistently sells about 10,000 copies a week, according the WSJ article I was reading about it. Roughly 10,000 a week equals over half a million a year. There are artists that would kill for those kinds of sales and we're talking about albums that have just come out! This one has had damn near 40 years out there.

It's fantastic....I'd love to see it crack the Top 100. Now that would be a lark.

Is there a band that honestly thinks they're as good as Pink Floyd?

Yep, actually they're better than Pink Floyd!

Australian Pink Floyd ~ Shine on You Crazy Diamond

Imitation is the most sincerest form of flattery and the above phenomenon proves it.

I refuse to believe that a cover band is better than the actual group, with or without Roger. Seriously. I've heard some of these other groups and while most of them are good.....they aren't better.

The designer of the Titanic thought it was better than a canoe.

Maybe it was but I still paddle around in my canoe when weather and currents permit.

The Titanic? (the first unsinkable buoyant vessel...lol) Titanic is synonymous with doom. Like a cow.

My thought is a cow should be depicted in the "D" section of the dictionary titled, "doomed."

Sometimes, a student will exceed and surpass the professor.

If that wasn't true, then we'd still be living in caves or worse, outside amongst the elements.

Did I mention that I worship Pink Floyd?

I don't think Pink Floyd is analogous to the Titanic...

Maybe not. But Pink Anderson and Floyd Council loved to fish in a boat that wouldn't sink!

Meant that as a compliment, btw.

I just bought it last week. So, I contributed to that rank.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Sometimes it's almost like....humor for the dyslexic.

Good Mourning/Black Friday by Megadeth is in the daily top 10 !? I may be the only person here that knows that song, but that kicksazz. Underground metal has come a long way.

I did not know Flea was born in Melbs. He's 'Australian-American'

I hate that I'll never get to see Marvin Gaye, Minnie Riperton or the Bee Gees Live in concert

[Wyld Card 5]

I've never heard #1 or #2 for today's Daily Top 10. That must be the first time ever.

I was perusing old Top Ten threads when a post of mine gave me the shocking reminder that I used to like Toby Keith. Enough to see him live. Bad younger Tim, bad.
