70s Rock Album Showdown: The Who's 'Who's Next' vs. Pink Floyd's 'The Dark Side of the Moon
The search for the ultimate rock album of the 1970s is coming to a close, with only two albums left in the final round of our March Madness bracket. The contenders vying for the top spot are The Who's "Who's Next" and Pink Floyd's "The Dark Side of the Moon." Both albums have triumphed over iconic releases to reach this stage.
Released in 1971, The Who's "Who's Next" features hits like "Won't Get Fooled Again," "Baba O'Riley," and "Behind Blue Eyes." The album overcame tough competition from the likes of The Beatles' "Let It Be," Van Halen's self-titled debut, and AC/DC's "Highway to Hell" to secure a spot in the finals.
On the other hand, Pink Floyd's "The Dark Side of the Moon," released in 1973, is hailed as one of the most revered concept albums in rock history. With tracks such as "Money," "Us and Them," and "Time," the album defeated notable releases like David Bowie's "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars" and Led Zeppelin's "IV" to make it to the final round.
