Why dig this back up again? We get it, you don't recognize an iconic album cover.
I ran that test for you, btw. I'm done discussing it. Now go wash the egg off your face.
There are clearly two versions of what this thread is about. One version is about just sharing music with folks. The other version is about folks bragging about their "sophisticated" musical taste.
The initial post in this thread is an explainer about how to embed music video links - or how to actually share the music with others. It's not about how to share album art folks may not automatically recognize. It's not about bragging rights. It's just about sharing music with others.

The best Floyd, this is NOT up for debate
This is an __insanely__amazing__ live version of WYWH that i kind of semi-recently discovered:
Wish you were here - live
Thank you for posting this. I have to agree, it is an amazing performance. Makes me wish that I had seen PF live when I had the chance(s).

Had this in my vinyl collection, which I gave away years ago. Just added it to my digital collection.
One of the better “Best Of” albums, imho.
John lee Hooker - Boom Boom
Guitar, drums and harmonica.

Good stuff!! I don't know if there is a video but "The Waterfront" by John is a great tune.
I saw them once, I have a hysterical story I'll post later ...
Yeah, I'm generally not a fan of "Best Of" type albums, if I like an artist, I like to celebrate their whole catalog (@SandboxGeneral
), but for the Stones, it's just the right amount, it's like the perfect retrospective of their early material.
I continue to celebrate their whole catalog this evening.
Spiral out!

I seem to recall that - in addition to possessing a few individual albums (on vinyl), my brother and I also had a double album (yes, also vinyl) called Rolled Gold, which was a very good "Best of" (or, in this instance, a pair of best of), Rollings Stones hits.
Mind you, where The Beatles were concerned, we never had any "Best of" albums: Just all of the original albums.
Having said that, there were a number of groups from the 60s which had one or two stunning hits, and must of the remainder of their oeuvre was less than stellar.
"Best of" albums tended to work well in such circumstances.
So it was in Orlando, a couple of decades ago, drive down, a few of us stayed with a good friend. It was raining that night, all of us had wrapped ourselves in black plastic trash bags and duct tape, it was a weird scene.
The concert proceeds, it's amazing, there's moments of light rain where the lights/lasers refract, creating an extra cosmic experience (in no small part, compounded by "things and stuff"
) There's a fellow on our row, friendly, more than willing to share his "snacks", he's consumed quite a bit Well, there's a mid-show slow down, lights go down for a few minutes, a slow acoustic guitar can be heard, the lights come up, they're breaking into Pigs on the Wing ... there's this huge pig balloon, brightly lit up from spotlights, floating over the front rows where we are ...
This dude looks up, sees the pig, lets out some kind of shriek ... hahahahaha, runs for it! I mean, almost climbs over us getting out of his seat to the aisle, run up the stairs into the void ... and is GONE, like never comes back.
