Hi from Melbourne, Australia.. Animals and Wish……equal top tier. Next tier Dark Side…. I feel Great Gig and Us and Them are about a minute too long each..

Over the years The Wall and Animals have become my favourites. Although only about 7% actually go to private school, so The Wall alienates a lot of listeners like me, but the compositions are epic

Piper was the album that turmed me on to Floyd after I had dismissed them as a yuppie band. It ticked every box for me. After that I delved back into their catalogue and found so much more. I still don't particularly care for anything post The Wall though

The original space cadets, Pink Floyd struggled in the early days. It wasn't bad enough Syd Barrett was affected by the drug scene then exploding in London, but the band didn't connect with record buyers right away. The first album was so far ahead of its time, even with its flaws, nothing else was like it. Top 40 was in full control, in the US, and the Floyd didn't fit in, so their singles did generate any airplay until Money, in May, 1973. After that, the stunning Dark Side dropped, and Pink Floyd was the band of bands, overnight. For the rest of the decade, Pink Floyd could do no wrong. Things weren't well, in the band, and hadn't been, for a while. Roger Waters felt imposed on, and his songs exploring the impact the death of his father before he was born had run their course. The final album by the band we'd all known for tem years was anticlimactic, a leaden farewell, after the theatrics of The Wall. The dream was over, reality, and time, had set in, taken their toll, leaving shell-shocked survivors. I bought the top 12 on or near release dates, have copies of the other two, vinyl, CD, and digital, but never listen to anything on either of them.

Awesome channel!!!!!!!!

He is exactly what I imagine a hardcore Zappa fan looks like- except for the Canadian thing.

One of the best rock ‘n’ roll live albums ever made.

A Toast To Panama Red - Masters Apprentices

Excellent vid champ👍

Nice presentation! I have a few of the albums mentioned, but my personal favorites are the all-guitar ones: The triple vinyl Shut up 'n' play yer guitar, ....some more, and Return of the Son of.... The only reason it isn't worn out is that I immediately put it onto a top quality cassette and then wore that out over the years. The "Guitar" album also is pretty good, and I have one of the posthumous Zappa Family issues (the one with the huge fuzzy mustache on the CD case) with a great version of Watermelon In Easter Hay, which got played at the funeral of a friend who was a big Frank fan. Getting into some Zappa Plays Zappa too. Dweezil's story about Eddie Van Halen is priceless, and shows how much Frank was respected in the artistic community.

Zappa is a complete enigma Cody. He can create music for us folks that we didn't know we needed and comparisons are impossible. Hot Rats , if I had to choose one album , but there is definitely holes in my collection and knowledge , and I need to dig deeper into the great man's music. Cheers Cody !!! 🎵🎵😍

Apostrophe is probably my favourite. 👍

Hey Cody! So many great ones. Just Another Band From L.A., Overnight Sensation, Joe's Garage, just to name a few.👍👍👍😎

Very cool video. Great to see Genesis fans showing the cool pieces of their collection!

It was a great year for music, off slightly from the deluge in 1971 and 1970. It was a year filled with some "classics", but also great albums far more deserving of respect than some hipster picks. The Top Ten are classics by any definition. I bought all these albums within days of release, have played them for 52 years now, still playing them. That's an indelible measure of worth, when you can still find enjoyment in a set of songs, 5 decades later. In that sense, they are the "top" records of the year.

You missed the first Captain Beyond album! Superfly by Curtis Mayfield! A tab in the ocean by Nektar, Grand Funk Phoenix

Loving your respective radio shows!!!❤️

Great video!Genesis are my favourite band and I learned a lot here👍

Happy 50th Mars Hotel! Nice Thorens!!!

Epic LP… Tull makes Zep look silly

I had that album when I was a teenager. Now Im sixty

Certainly was a great year for music, I think I would argue that from late 1970 through sometime in mid 1974 was a blazingly glorious half decade for rock music. Props for the Talk album behind you!

For me , TaaB is tied with CttE and Trilogy!

Hey Cody! Still getting caught up. Play some YES or Squire today. Chris gone 9 years today. God i miss him SO MUCH❗️❗️❗️🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊😎

Ian Anderson was, is and will always be everything. ✨🔥❤️‍🔥

Hot rocks by the Stones is my pick

Too many to mention. Start with Machine Head, Honky Chateau and T-Rex, and go on from there.

Love this song.

Amazing album.

LOVE!!!’nnn

Such a great year for music. I owned roughly half the albums you selected. Good ear! I had set my alarm for the show, but must've misread the time and missed it by half an hour. Senior year in HS. Hair down the back and dressing like Sgt. Pepper for my school yearbook. We were paragons of racial harmony.

The Grateful Dead - Europe ‘72

Hey Cody! Thanks for the shout out! You got the top album of 72 right even though you had to put Genesis second. Lol. Very cool vid, nice to watch a video where i actually have the majority of the albums talked about. Nice job my friend!!👍☮️😎 23:54

CODY!! Man 1972 is an insanely stacked year. So much mind blowing music from several big hitters. Thank you for the shout out! Looking forward to our Floyd video, coming soon!!

Hey Cody! Watching now. Great shirt. I have over 400 YES shirts! Lol! I need another closet!!👍😎

Hey Cody! I'm about 16 hours behind today. I will get caught up soon, hopefully by tomorrow!👍😎

Quite frankly it's just ridiculous the amount of rock classics that came out in this year !!! Great stuff Cody. 👌😍🤘🤘

What a great year!!!!

PLEASE WATCH OUT FOR THE PID ERS.

👏 The Biggest Legend on planet earth 🎉❤

Wish they would have done a remix on headless cross it's a little dated

Great vibes you guys and of course your knowledge of music is always refreshing and interesting. Thank you.

Pretty good Dream Theater Vinyl collection I think. You have more than me and it's not easy to find those.

Nice Rush moon 🌙 and that Postcard is a fine collectible. I have the moon 45 which I framed for my office.

I've been trying to get Progeny for years.

Cool show Cody! Will watch what I missed. Like I said I was listening to the new box set of Talk! Love the album and saw several shows of both legs of the tour!!!👍😎

🎉

And I can't even afford to buy new records for $30.

Cody this is by far my favourite show youve EVER done, mainly because DT are my no1 band, i was lucky to hear PULL ME UNDER back in 92 and the album was just soooooo good, ive seen them 10 times in England, once in scotland and once in Hungary [ im from england] they are the ONLY band that i have every album and ive been buying since 1980, john petrucci and mike portnoy are also my 2 favourite personalities in music [ as well as my favourite drummer and guitarist], the hardest question i get is my favourite song and album, just so hard to answer.

Great show and very interesting history from Scott. My Dream Theater journey is much like Cody's in that I got into them about 2017, a couple of years after Rush played their last show and started talking retirement. I was listening to a lot of prog metal etc. I bought tickets to the 2019 tour and Distance Over Time came with the purchase. After seeing the tour I became a fan and the journey began. I have seen every tour since here in Canada, including the JP solo tour which was my first time seeing Portnoy play. He is like an octopus and clearly a master of his craft. The Dreamsonic tour was impressive in Hamilton. I have a huge respect for the band. The Maginni Portnoy controversy is interesting and I somewhat understand how the long time fans felt about the departing of Portnoy. I equate this to a fictional scenario in which Neil Peart left RUSH for a few years and was replaced by a new drummer! Imagine how you might feel about that and how one would feel upon his return. That being said, Mike Maginni is a power house and articulate drummer and was my introduction to the band. I have collected a ton of DT music on this journey and look forward to the new release and tour. I will be there! Thanks for the show guys, very interesting! Oh and Scott mentioned "Tai Shan" awesome! I have sub'd your page man just based on that! lol
