Neat, elegant drift from 'Time' to a mash-up of 'Lucifer Sam' and 'Bike' ... ](*,)

My favorite album of all time. Perfect in every way. I just wish I had kept the stickers and posters that came with it... 8)

Not my personal favourite by Floyd but probably the best album of all time by any way you wish to measure it .
It's perfection from start to finish . I see folk having rated it 1 , 2 and 3 . Got to be joking surely .
Also quite possibly the best and most iconic album cover ever produced . You could wax lyrical all day about how much of a triumph this album is . Really deserves a 6 out of 5

To me number one … A great ode to immortality as all four members were, so pause they have created after the wall for me just cannot be taken seriously…

Listening to this album again for the first time in a while, and I find the structure of it interesting.
The middle four tracks are all the longest on the album, all longer than four and a half minutes (most by quite a bit), and are surrounded by six much shorter tracks, most of which don't exceed three and a half minutes. So each side is made of two long tracks and three short tracks.
Don't really have a comment on it, just find it interesting.

Pink Floyd debuted 'Dark Side of the Moon' on Jan. 20, 1972 at Brighton Dome. Hard to imagine the 'Dark Side' concept hatched more than 50 years ago.

Very nice! I'm still in the middle of writing my own tribute to the album that I want to publish on my YouTube channel. It's a tough assignment I have to say.

Thank you.

Admittedly, I was bout 7 beers in on a Saturday afternoon when I was asked to write...

So I banged it out, sent it off, and then promptly forgot about it.

I assumed my buddy didn't have the heart to tell me it was awful...lol. He edited it and didn't ask for any rewrites.

So woot.

We're gonna do an episode on the Pouredcast on the live version

I prefer The Wall, but this is still in one of my favorites.
