Pink Floyd's The Wall is misleading because it was a double-album. RIAA counts double albums twice so Pink Floyd actually only sold about 12 million copies of The Wall. Still not too shabby. But I mention it only because Dark Side Of The Moon should legitimately be called Pink Floyd's biggest selling album as 15 million copies of that one was sold.

Same with the white album -- that one gets counted twice along with the Anthologies and the Red and Blue albums. Technically, only Sgt. Pepper and Abbey Road should count as Diamond albums.

I know a lot of folks won't agree with me on this, but as far as I'm concerned, Pink Floyd and The Doors are the two most overated bands of ALL TIME.

Plus it has the distinction of being the album that had the longest streak in the number one slot. It was there until bumped my MJ's "Thriller".
