Album: The Dark Side of the Moon
Band: @pinkfloyd
Year: 1973
Favorite Song: Time
Genre: Progressive Rock, Psychedelic Rock
Thoughts: A fine piece of work created by what I think are one of the most influential artists of all time. Pink Floyd had all the right criteria for making concepts that have withstood the test of time. As a listener, they are a psychedelic dream that you crave more of and this album is no exception. Although not a desert island album for me, it is a very close No. 6.

This is the album that launched them to superstardom. After years of experimenting with psychedelic and other types of progressive music creations, they ultimately succeeded with this album. When you listen to albums like The Piper at the Gates of Dawn and Atom Heart Mother, it looks and sound like a different band from what they made here. But it’s all the same band, the same thing goes to bands like Pantera for example. This is David Gilmour and Roger Waters at their finest. I mean that literally.

Fun Fact: This album along with “Obscured by Clouds”, were created at the same time. But this album they started to play before it, as they would play the whole album live before the release of their previous album, but this one took a long time to make.

I like both albums a lot but you can see why the previous album was but rushed out the door.

Rest in Peace to Roger “Syd” Barrett and Richard Wright.

This album in my opinion is The Greatest Album of All Time.
