Will somebody finally kill off that damn "Astral Weeks"? I've been reading these facking lists for 25 years and that stupid overrated obscurity is ALWAYS on it. (disclaimer: I've owned it for years, I know it front to back; it's OK, but come ON.)

No one I knew growing up ever owned this album, much less ever heard it, much less ever loved it. Just because it reminds Dave Marsh or Greil Marcus or whoever about some long-lost girlfriend in 1968 doesn't compete against the immense impact and fascination of, say, "Dark Side of the Moon", "The Doors", "Led Zeppelin IV", etc.

LOL...agreed.
But "Moondance" is another of my Desert Island Discs.
