Re: Discography - Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon Discussion.
For me the best album they ever produced....in fact my favourite album by any artist. There are individual tracks that are as good as or even better than some of the ones on here but over all the album just works beautifully. I see this album as the apex of their achievements and things started to go downhill pretty rapidly after this.

Re: Discography - Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon Discussion.
This is my favourite Pink Floyd album and is one of the best pieces of recorded music in the history of recorded music, in my opinion. Perfect songs, arrangement, recording. There is not 1 second on this recording that I don't like. I cant really say that about any other album I have ever listened to. Not a single second to fault.
"I certainly was in the right..."
I never knew this....
"I certainly was in the right..."

Or this.....Although The Dark Side of the Moon was the planned title of the album, upon the discovery that the band Medicine Head was to release an album of the same name in 1972, the year prior to The Dark Side of the Moon's release, the band changed the album's title to Eclipse: A Piece for Assorted Lunatics. However, the Medicine Head album flopped, so Pink Floyd reverted to the original title.
Pink Floyd's road manager Peter Watts (father of actress Naomi Watts) contributed the repeated laughter during "Brain Damage" and "Speak to Me". The monologue about "geezers" who were "cruisin' for a bruisin'" came from Peter's second wife, Puddie (short for Patricia) Watts.

4.9/5. I like it very much, but I still prefer WYWH and Animals from the 'classic trilogy' or whatever people call it.

Re: Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
It shows what they would be able to create in the future.
It's a good album but not my favourite. Kind of "Amuse de geule" if you like...

Re: Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
Who the heck rated this lower than four? I can see four from somebody who refuses to give five to anything other than their absolute favorite album, but three out of five for this masterpiece? To each their own, I suppose...

Re: Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
It would be a perfect album if it wasn't for Great Gig in the Sky. It's absolutely ruined by Clare Torry's caterwauling. If there was a way to erase her vocals from it, I'd be happy. The music underneath her screeching is wonderful though.

Masterpiece.
In top 10 of the greatest rock albums of all times.
But as Bruno said, not my fave from them either.

I think her screeching is one of the highlights of the album! Very primal and satisfying!snifferdog wrote:It would be a perfect album if it wasn't for Great Gig in the Sky.
