OK, but I don't agree.

Well, I've just listened to S.F. Sorrow (the whole album). The second side was as good as the first one. I know I'm gonna listen to this album many many times. I've loved it. Thank you, OccultHawk.

Although I haven't finished listening to it, I think that, as an album, is better than The Wall and Tommy because unlike these two, it's not unnecessarily long. What I mean is that, I could easily pick a song from The Wall and listen to it without listening to the whole album. But I'd prefer sitting and listening to S.F. Sorrow as a whole album instead of choosing a track (damn, I wish my English was better). I think my favourite track by now is Bracelets Of Fingers, but I repeat that it's the kind of album I enjoy listening to without skipping any songs. Let's see if side two is a as good as side one. Thank you for the suggestion!
By the way, I've answered you about Vivaldi on the top 5 composers thread.

Yeah Tommy is a great comparison.

I don’t consider Tommy or The Wall unnecessarily long though.

Your understanding of SF Sorrow so quick is really impressive.

My favorite track is the opening track.

I know you mentioned The Kinks but just to make sure, you have listened Village Green right?

PS It’s not ok to say bad things about Yoko.

Yes, Village Green Preservation Society is great, but I prefer Waterloo Sunset. And Tommy's not long, but The Wall is only good until track no. 20 in my opinion. The opening track is great, too, but I prefer Bracelets Of Fingers.

Well the others gave you tons of stuff to check out but when you get back to my picks I want you to try The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators

Many Beatles fans eventually go through the "I hate Yoko Ono" phase.

Never heard about them.
And about The Pretty Things, I only knew that they were related to The Rolling Stones in some way, I think.

You don’t like The Trial?

No, I mean, The Wall is a bit like a Waters solo album with some brilliant collaborations with David Gilmour. Sometimes gets on my nerves, if I listen to the whole album.

Another album that I really find interesting is Selling England By The Pound by Genesis.

Definitely a classic. Have you heard Lamb?

Yes, it's the first thing I heard from Genesis with Peter Gabriel, but I still prefer Selling England By The Pound. Firth Of Fifth is such a masterpiece!

By the way, is listening to Suicide by Suicide like a dangerous experience or something?

Well now we know it’s going to be the next thing you listen to lol

Thanks a lot batlord

It’s a post punk masterpiece work of genius in the highest order

It’s just really dark

If I were a parent (and thank god I’m not) I wouldn’t want my 14 year old daughter listening to it

Besides I don’t think you’re ready for it from an artistic standpoint

And that’s not an insult - you know tons about music

I mean, since you came on here and asked I think it’s best to listen to things step by step to get a clearer idea how this led to that and so on.

I actually think you should move backwards to the early delta blues and then build your knowledge base from there
