I am actually a Gen X and so is Doc, but I think your opinion is every bit as valid as anyone else's. It was a close vote but with a small committee - if the committee was 9 people instead of 5 - perhaps it goes different. That being said - you are mixing your metaphors and drawing a uneven parallel between The Who and Christopher Cross - which doesn't help your argument. The point of the series was in fact to take a small group of knowledgeable music fans - familiar with the 70's at various levels - and pick a winner. Mission accomplished. We didn't pick Chicago IV over Dark Side - we picked Who's Next. And it was a 3-2 vote. If we voted a year from now - might go the other way. In any case - thank you for supporting us thru this. I value the voice of dissent as much as much any other.

​@@masseysmaineentertainment Thank you for your thoughtful reply, I respect a well thought our reply more than someone simply saying 'you're wrong, you suck!'. Agreed, if the panel were larger it may have gone differently, but.... In the spirit of a respectful debate: First, as a side-bar, I must disagree with you on you taking exception to my 'Grammy's' metaphor (wasn't Christopher Cross against The Who), it was specifically targeted at the Grammy awards, that valued hit songs over entire albums. And, it really wasn't a metaphor, since the three of you that voted for Who's Next supported my case by specifically stating it was because the individual songs were better. That is almost exactly what was stated at the 1980 Grammy's. So I don't see how my 'metaphor' doesn't apply? Anyway, I can appreciate anyone 'liking', or 'preferring' one album over another because of the songs, I really can. But come on! Your video title states Best ALBUMS of the 1970's. And Sam even says "Dark Side is an album, it's one piece"! So, is it Best Albums? Or, albums you most like because of the songs that are contained in an album? This is Dark Side of the Moon, for crying out loud! This album made history, and was light-years ahead of its time. And it continues to make history. It reached out and crossed so many barriers sonically, spoke to young and old, rich and poor, black or white, etc. Hell, it still speaks to everyone (no pun intended to the first track...haha), where you can't say the same about the impact Who's Next made on the world, as a whole album. Certainly certain songs still resonate, and are still played, but as singles - not as an entire album, as a whole. Don't get me wrong, I agree that Who's Next is their best album, and I do love the majority of the songs, I just don't put on Who's Next and am suddenly compelled to keep listening until the end. I simply don't believe the album as a whole holds a candle - historically speaking - to arguably the most influential album of all time. So the question remains: between the two, which would you end up listening to the most as a whole album? Do you listen to Who's Next from front to back as a whole more than Dark Side? So, please don't get me wrong, I agree that Who's Next is their best album, and I do love the majority of the songs, I just don't put on Who's Next and am suddenly compelled to keep listening until the end. I simply don't believe the album as a whole holds a candle - historically speaking - to arguably the most influential album of all time. I simply had to speak out in defense of one of the most monumental points in musical history, that affected the whole world - and continues to do so. Look, I know my opinion does not matter here, and I am not trying to escalate anyone's blood pressure, just trying to make a point, here. So I apologize, I tend to go overboard with a near rant when I am passionate about something. Still, I respect all your opinions (and all those in the comments, who stated their favorites, we will just have to agree to disagree, is all. Thanks for letting me rant...🤪

Crazy right?!

Hey man - I appreciate the comment. We all had an open mind going in - me - I am in your camp - I think OK Computer is the most important album in the last 30 years in so much as it moved rock music forward.

It certainly grew on me.....

Led Zeppelin had a tough bracket to plow thru and got to the Elite 8. Some guys are not into Zep - I am good with you - but IV is my 2nd favorite Zep album and I am ok with being in the minority. Thanks for watching.

No. Thank you Adam for your comments and commitment to watching....

Simply meant as a fun exercise - if you ask me 3 years from now - I could go a different route....

Same bracket hurt....

It hurt not to push it to the end!

Thanks steve....

Thanks Steve, I'm on my way to wipe the tears

Oh to be young again

@@masseysmaineentertainment I’m 50 and have plenty of regrets. But God is good.

Hard to pick one and 3-2....was close

Great choice, Live at Leeds is top notch!

It's a list based on sales and some preferences. All for fun...

I was never a fan of live jam band albums. To me...boring

Ton of labor for sure...but love it
