- - (Psychedelic/Art Rock) Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon (http://www.sputnikmusic.com/forums/showthread.php?t=131372)

I simply love it. I can see the point of some people who think it's overrated. But when I first listened to it it didn't know it/Floyd at all. Some 15+ years ago when I was like 16 or 17 a friend of mine was playing Echoes. That song made a big impression on me (still one of my favs) and he lend me Meddle and DSOTM. I put on DSOTM the first time without really knowing what to expect and it totally, well not blew me away, but dragged me in. Sucked me in really. Simply amazing. I still think it is. I have to admit there are other Floyd albums I listen to more regularly (WYWH, Meddle and Live in Pompeii), but this album is, in my opionion, simply amazing. My fav tracks are the last three; Any Colour You Like/Brain Damage/Eclipse, but I usually listen to the whole album in one go.

As far as a Great Gig is concerned; try the live version on Delicate Sound of Thunder. With three voices it's even better..

its the best album ever, bar none

that is why it was in the billboard charts longer than any other album in history.

go and buy it, then sit in a dark room and close your eyes and listen to it, and maybe you will understand what everyone is on about

it is a masterpiece

I do not think that you can define the greatest album in the world. Nor for that matter the greatest Floyd album. For me, it completely depends on what mood I'm in. If I'm feeling a bit insane (as I so regularly do) I'll reach for Dark Side or The Wall. But if I'm in a bit more of a good mood, The Division Bell will satisfy.

And is Dark Side Of The Moon overrated because it has sold so much, or has it sold so much because it's overrated? Just a thought.
