Reminder: THIS IS NOT MY LIST, I got the list from discogs. It’s based on raw data of what is on people’s want lists.

[tomcartwright]

I am nearing 70. My generation grew up in the greatest era of rock and pop music.

[tedsmith]

I too am 74 and bought all these albums as they were released. What a time to be young and have all this great music! It just kept coming and coming! I have bought later pressings of all my favorite vinyl but kept the originals for all the great memories! Led Zeppelin forever!!

[reneelipton]

I recently went on tour in my mamas attic. She has a stack of old albums she played when we were kids 50 yrs ago. George Jones, Dolly Parton, Porter Wagnor, Isley brothers, even one or two of mine the Partridge Family, Osmonds? They might not have any $ value but they ment more to me than anything. So for Xmas I got her a new record player she can listen to all her songs. Christmas Eve was nice seeing this 84 year old cut the rug in the kitchen. Life is good for sure.

Great subject and presentation - I’m a 74 year old Brit and bought all these albums as they were released - except the Miles Davis which I bought later- They really were stupendous times to be young - I collected so much from so many amazing bands, The Stones, Moody Blues, 10cc, Yes, Thin Lizzy, Judas Priest, Genesis, The Hollies, Cream, Queen, Neil Young, etc- I just soaked it all up and the best bit is I still have it all. Luckily right from the start I had a decent turntable so the album’s still sound great. Music from that era on has really stood the test of time.

[peterhelmer]

Listening to Led Zeppelin on vinyl is the proof that vinyl sounds the best. The acoustics and warm tone just melt your soul.

[catfunksfabulousfinds]

I bought my Dark side of the moon the first weekend it was out. I'm amazed I grew up in the best of music times.

[edl]

People who criticize the Beatles don’t realize how incredibly different they were from any band before. You had to be there to understand that. The same with Zeppelin. And if someone is putting them down they are probably listening to music today that uses no actual instruments.

[TheOnlyOpie]

Fun fact: The Beatles walked into Abby Road Studios in 1967 to work on Sgt. Pepper and met Pink Floyd, who were recording Piper at the Gates of Dawn.

[oldcougar]

My Zepplin II album has a skip at one point in "Whole Lotta Love" and it's had that skip since about 1970. Whenever I hear "Whole Lotta Love" on the radio, I get upset when it doesn't skip.

[muzerhythm]

GREAT MEMORIES with some of these albums! One of my favorite memories was when me and dad listened to "Time" from Dark Side Of The Moon. He played it at his machine shop one night...from huge speakers mounted in the ceiling...with the bay doors opened. That drum intro echoed down the street! Was an AWESOME experience!😁😁

[Redthumb]

My first album purchase when I was a H.S. Senior in 1963 was Dave Brubeck, Take Five. Still have it.

[garydreyer]

I am 60 years old and I purchased Humble Pie rocking the Fillmore at 14 years of age, still play it!

[flowshine]

DARK SIDE!! ABSOLUTELY 100%!! ITS PERFECTION START TO FINISH! I honestly can't hardly listen to that album without getting very emotional during the final track "Eclipse"! The very end, the last two lines on the entire album drive me to tears for some strange reason. Not even exaggerating, it does something to me, psychologically and emotionally and not in a bad way. Its really amazing!

[jamesbueker]

I recently sold my 1, 400 album collection from 50 years. Most were first pressings because I was on point waiting for my favorite bands to be released. We’re moving to Europe and I had no choice. I had every one of these. The first two I sold were Led Zeppelin 1&3. $120. Ended up with over $15, 000 total. Sad to let them go

[stevebird]

I wouldn't say I'm a huge Pink Floyd fan but I have to agree, Dark Side if the Moon is one of the most iconic albums ever recorded. I just picked up a new pressing for $32. Well worth it 👍🐦

[patricia]

Dark Side of the Moon...love it. Years ago I had a cute little Volkswagon Rabbit. On the back was "Rabbit" with a emblem. I carefully painted the triangle Prism like on the cover and printed "Run Rabbit, Run" next to the emblem.

[cynthiamcwhorter]

I remember one Christmas my grandmother gave me the Woodstock album and I still have it. It's in perfect condition I wonder if it's worth anything

[thomasfordi]

I own “Dark Side Of The Moon’ on vinyl, 8-track, cassette and CD
