Recommend me rock albums with atmosphere similar to...

[Musikwala]

Pink Floyd - The Division Bell

and songs like these...



Sting - Fragile



Sting - Why Should I Cry For You?


Please! Thanks for your help, CRF!

Although I'm not really familiar with the Division Bell, if you enjoy that then I would definitely recommend you listen to Meddle if you haven't already - One Of These Days and Echoes are PF classics while most of the other tracks are fairly mellow (Fearless is my favourite of these). If you prefer David Gilmour to Roger Waters then I think there's a good chance you'd like this album.

This likely won't be my final rec but if you haven't listened to Gotye beyond his one hit song I'd recommend the album "Making Mirrors" as it's very underatted as a whole and has a strong Sting as well as Peter Gabriel influence throughout. It's very eclectic in general and I think he could've very well fit in with that era of singer songwriters!

I have all Pink Floyd albums. Thanks for the recommendation though. Meddle is indeed stunning!

Gotye-Making Mirrors

Interesting. I was in fact curious about this album for some time. I only know that one hit song which I absolutely love! He does sound a lot like Sting, which can only be a good thing in my book. But does the album have atmospheric music?

I'm looking for albums with atmosphere, similar to the Division Bell or like in a song such as Sting's Fragile.

Yes and no. It doesn't have a slow moving atmosphere like the Sting cuts or some Pink Floyd tends to but it does have atmosphere that you can get a feel for through the actual album. I think with these three cuts you'll get a good feel and see why I was able to recommend it by your guidelines. Particularly Smoke and Mirrors is a frontrunner for that sound.

Thanks Soot. I will listen to those Gotye tracks and report back.

Actually, interesting that you brought up Peter Gabriel. I've been curious about his first 3 or 4 albums for quite some time now. I'm talking about the albums that are unofficially titled Car, Scratch, Melt etc. according to the artwork. I just never get around to downloading them! Maybe this weekend. Maybe. I love his albums, So and Us, which came later.

When I hear Fragile from Sting it reminds me of Sailing by Christopher Cross.
