Favorite Albums of All Time
Stu(1973)
”’Forward!’ he cried from the rear
And the front rank died
The general sat, and the lines on the map
Moved from side to side…”
There's a good reason this album spent a total of over 17.5 YEARS on the Billboard album chart (and not just because it's a trippy stoner album!) This is one of the earliest and best examples of the effective use of sound design on a music album, which contributes to it feeling like a mini movie. This album is to sound design in recorded music what 2001: A Space Odyssey was to special effects in movies. There are so many iconic sounds (the heartbeat, the clocks, the spacy journey of “On the Run,” the interview snippets, the cash register), but there are classic musical performances as well: the choir, the sax, Clare Tory’s incredible wordless vocal solo, and David Gilmour’s soaring guitar solos. A towering classic.

Marvin's top twenty-ish albums
MarvinPink Floyd was "94.7 KMET" or "95.5 KLOS" music in the 80's and I didn't really listen to that (preferring 106.7 KROQ). I went to a Laserium show at the Griffith Park Observatory set to this complete album, and I became a fan.
