...and the most significant and infuential album ever made is...

Flyingpig437 · 06-30-2011, 01:01 PM

Someone's posted on The Stone Roses album thread that it's the most significant and infuential album ever made. Someone else said this was laffable. I don't think it's laffable. Maybe it's not diverse enough and came too late in rock history compared to Sgt.Pepper or Hendrix or Dark side of the moon and all the rest.

I think that it's beyond dispute Sgt.Pepper is the most significant and infuential album ever made but that doesn't mean it's the greatest and I think we have to ask questions about an album with WI64 on it as thegreatest album ever made.
Is there a difference between an album being the greatest and being the most significant and influential?
What's everyone else think?

i think it is a pointless thing to discuss in the first place, to subjective.

I Agree^

^, But why not, nominate Van Halen's debut album as a candidate for the top 10.

What's wrong with subjectivity? If it was objective then there would only be one answer to the thread, and no need for discussion...

nothing is wrong with it, there would just be no right answer. so what would be proven?

Nothing, and there'd be no right answer. Just like any other discussion on MB.

I wouldn't go as far as 'any other discussion on MB'. Certainly though for some people a particular piece of music might be so personal to them that they might not want to really discuss it. That can limit real discussion.
