It's time to figure out what our next EPL Episode will be. This one is scheduled to drop in the first few days of April.ELP won the last poll and got Episode 16. I'm carrying over the Neil Morse Band (2nd place in the last poll) and Queen (3rd place in the last poll), and I'm including three other artists to round out the five options for this upcoming episode. Voting is active through March 30. May your favorite win!

Unsubscribing if it’s not Similitude! It’s that serious! Okay maybe not, any extended play is great!

Walking the Path with Chris Ramsbottom

If you do DSOTM, may I recommend the live version from Pulse? There's a remaster out either this weekend or very soon, from what I remember. The benefit of the live version is that you get the videos that Hipgnosis produced to go alongside the music.

Lee Roberts

Wow, got some classics on this one. I’d be happy with any of them.

Marcelo Rosalen Cucatti

No more Neal Morse, Peter Gabriel and Genesis please!!! Something new!!! Fleetwood Mac would be awesome!!! Dark Side also, although repetitive. A Night at Opera is nice too! But also we recently had a loooot of Queen!!

Eirik Morken

Suggestion: Why not exclude bands you already have checked out in the EPL? Seems like you have a clan of Genesis, Yes and Pink Floyd fans. Had really hoped NMB would go through this time, but I'm guessing it's gonna be Pink Floyd. They have also been very represented on your Youtube channel. 🤷‍♂️

Justin Humberger

I think it's really unfair that you put Similitude in the same list as Dark Side of the Moon. Every person in the world can probably name that album, of course randoms are just going to vote on it. This poll is very upsetting.

Andreas C Georgi

Haven’t we all already heard DSOM ad nauseam?

Andrew Mellor

I have heard all these and know all except the NMB very well. So NMB please.

Aaron E Austin

I've never heard DSOTM, so I might as get my cherry popped.

Herr Lefe

DSOTM is actually called "The Dark Side of the Moon", therefore the correct abbreviation is TDSOTM.

Bryan Sheehan

I'm currently in a FM tribute band . It would be cool to see a reaction to Rumours, but I'd definitely settle for Queen.

doughelvering

I’ve never listened to the PF all the way through. And, these poll choices come straight from our recommendations portal on the discord…with great community support.

Allen

Yes, "Dark Side" is ubiquitous. However, I'm curious about Doug's take (with his classical training) now that he's examined "Atom Heart," "Animals," etc. Hey Doug! Can you comment on the "Wizard of Oz" phenomenon (haha; if you have time)?

Mike Ginies

How about 'Collaboration" or "Second Contribution" by Shawn Phillips.

Mike Ginies

Or Strawbs "Hero and Heroine", the first track.

Jan Jaap Langereis

Please, not Pink Floyd again. Neal is so much more interesting! Much more interesting composition, certainly for Doug to analyse.

Itsfun2listen

Why does Neal (zzzzz!) appear among such highly acclaimed artists! Can we have The Scaffolds Greatest Hits in this case?

Dennis Rees

The surround sound version of The Dark Side of the Moon is brilliant, especially the song Time. During the opening, you feel like you are in a clock shop rung amuck.

Barbara Hughes

I vote for George but he’s obviously not going to win. Plus, it’s a TRIPLE album and is way too Spector-heavy! There have been a zillion reissues in various configurations….. but the title is always ONLY “All Things Must Pass” …. without “Away.” 😀

Matthew Hackbert

DSOTM is a bit overdone for my tastes. I'll still watch it, but I'd like to see Queen carried over again if it loses.

Ving13

DSOTM is one of the greatest albums in rock history. Can't wait to see Doug's reaction. :) I would also love to see "A Night at the Opera" and "Rumours" at some point. Both are excellent albums.

Michael Strawn

Please do Similitude....DSOTM has been dissected in every way possible. Pretty much all of the 70's prog has. Let's do something more modern.

John Clark

I won't be surprised if DSOTM gets over 50% of the vote. As it approaches its 50th anniversary it remains as vibrant and enjoyable as ever. It was Floyd's first album that was consistently good from start to finish, in my opinion. Atom Heart Mother and Meddle were both one great side with what essentially turned out to be filler on the other side, some of which was charming, some of which not quite so. Some people may have become over familiar with it and many see it more as a hi-fi test record these days but that's their bad luck. Musically it remains a "must have" on all levels. I remember when it came out that you couldn't go to a party for the next five years without it being played at least twice in the night.

John Clark

The only other album that I can recall from way back when that engendered similar, if not more, excitement was from about four years prior to DSOTM, and that was Abbey Road (the only LP I have ever heard of that was top of the singles chart, at least in my remote outpost of western civilisation, it sold in such huge numbers).

Shawn Painter

Similitude of a Dream is a masterpiece that needs to be heard. Mike Portnoy said it’s up there with his best work and that includes Metropolis pt. 2 from the mighty Dream Theater. DSOTM is played out and shouldn’t be in the same poll. Neal Morse Band is by far the best choice!

Itsfun2listen

Saved from Simpletunes by Neal and his Morris dancers again… result! Could have been worse, could have been Dream Theatre again, hard to decide which one is worse, the end is always good though in both cases especially when the volume is off. Queen next I guess

Anonymous

The George Harrison is “All Things Must Pass”, not “All Things Must Pass Away”

David McCardell

Really looking forward to Doug’s take on Dark Side of the Moon. Please do the studio version. It was cutting edge for its time and has so many layers.

Lior Haimovich

Definitely DSOTM, and I'll join David McCardell in asking for the studio version.

Tom Brophy

I would love to see Doug's breakdown of ATMP. It's an underrated album with some fantastic songs.

David Crossen

If you must do Dark Side of the Moon, please use the studio version rather than the Pulse version

Marc La Porte

Although very good of course, DSofM has been done so many times. Queen's aNatR has so much more width to the musical experience.

bobj

I can see how many would be tired of TDSOTM album, but it’s BECAUSE of its popularity that it is played so much. ITS THAT GREAT! Many stories behind this album that need to be told. Two quick tid-bits. Alan Parsons is the engineer on this album and should be consider the 5th member of the band. He grabbed his first Grammy for TDSOTM and was also involved in some Beatles recordings. He is a great musician in his own right and was nominated for 13 Grammy Awards with his own band “The Alan Parsons Project”. He should be featured on The Daily Doug too. He was also the one who recruited Clare Torry for “The Great Gig in the Sky”. So, yeah, Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon deserves to be featured by Dr. Doug! It probably didn’t need to be part of a poll, because of its obvious progressive awesomeness, but the Doctor is just making it democratic. Also getting a read on the others in this list as well for future features. Pink Floyd in the lead is certainly not a surprise, but I would also be totally on board with any of the other choices too. Besides, we have not heard Dr. Doug’s reaction to this PF album, so he will have a different take on it. Also, I have not heard anyone critique this before either. Regardless of how many may have. ROCK ON DR. DOUG!!!

Clay Walnum

Yeah, Dark Side is a fantastic album, but, man, it's so overplayed and requested, it's becoming a cliche. People need to branch out. I, for one, will no longer watch reactions on Dark Side of the Moon. They're ruining the album for me by making me listen to the album too much. But, if you've got to play it for the 40 billionth time, be my guest. I'm guessing just as many people won't watch as will. Now, Similitude of a Dream is just as good in its own way and is relatively fresh.

Daniel E. Whitaker

Honestly think that Rumors would be a much better experience, but that's just me. I've bought and paid for DSOTM at least ten times over the years and then played it to destruction. That's back when vinyl or tape was how you got your music. I did finally purchase a digital version. I went ahead and voted Dark SIde just because it was leading and there's only two days left so.....

Itsfun2listen

Maybe if we all vote up Queen then we can put Simpletunes in third place, shouldn't be in this list anyway, some people have too much influence...

Tom

I love DSOTM but I voted Rumors (All things Must pass being 2nd choice) cause I really want to see Doug do a break down of how each song managed to just be a hit or close to one

Jean-Michel LaFontaine

So much whining. Doug is one of the few very interesting act in this kind of stuff. Just enjoy and if you feel butthurt, just stop contributing. DSOTM may not be my favorite PF album but it's still a timeless classic and deserves an Extended Play Lounge IMHO. Thanks again Doug for all of your time.

Justin Humberger
>>80925033

I always cringe whenever I see someone "whining" about others "whining"....so ironic. Not sure if that makes you feel exalted now or what.. Anyway. Yeah, that's great that you're fine with PF!!! I'm glad you love DSoTM!!! Good for you that you will find several other channels that have covered this and reacted to this album.

Jean-Michel LaFontaine
>>80925033

I'm not interested in other channels, thanks. You can stop contributing if Doug and the people on here don't meet your expectations.

Justin Humberger
>>80925033

Why do you keep encouraging members here to stop subscribing and supporting him? That would be silly... That's like me saying... "If you don't like people whining on the internet you can just shut your internet off and go your library or get an encyclopedia if it doesn't meet your expectations", lol. The point of my post, because I don't think you actually read much any of this thread to see the actual premises is that there are tons of other channels who offer that content. Actually, I could go as far as to you say it would be YOU that would benefit by going to other channels if you want to see Dark Side reviewed, as for those that want him to do Similitude, there are zero options and this channel is as close as it has gotten. I think you're just trolling at this point honestly, I guess you thought your comment would be an easy win or something. We actually have a very valid argument, although I know you haven't invested yourself into it and couldn't care less...

Jean-Michel LaFontaine
>>80925033

DSOTM is probably my least favorite PF album with Waters. This album still is a classic and it won the poll. Grow up man.

Justin Humberger
>>80925033

Yeah see? You don't even read or understand any context whatsoever. Your entire goal here was to exalt yourself. I'm sorry you have to resort to this kind of activity seeking self-validation and I hope you can find some humbleness in yourself for the future so that you don't feel compelled to belittle others for self gratification. ;)
