Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon is considered to be one of the greatest albums of all time. The guitar driven Money was a hit single in the US while tracks like Time, Us and Them and Brain Damage reinforce the themes of madness for this progressive rock concept album. JT shares his thoughts, his experiences and even plays a few snippets from the album here and there. #darksideofthemoon #pinkfloyd #albumreviews #historyofrock #money #darkside 50

Pink Floyd's 1973 release has appeared on many "Greatest rock albums" lists and holds the record for Longest-Charting Albums on the U.S. Billboard charts (962 weeks in total). It was on the charts for 14 years without coming off. Hipgnosis' album cover, the prism design, is one of the most recognizable in classic rock. Despite its impressive sales, this progressive rock concept album continues to inspire generation after generation through relatable themes of dealing with madness, greed, violence and the passage of time. The concept originated from bassist / vocalist / lyricist Roger Waters, first with a song called Brain Damage (partially written about founder Syd Barrett) that originated from the 1971 Meddle sessions. The album featured their artistic breakthrough Echoes, which paved the way for the followup album. With guitarist David Gilmour, keyboardist Richard Wright and drummer Nick Mason also contributing to the material, they constructed a piece called Eclipse: A Piece for Assorted Lunatics that became a staple of their 1972 concerts. They entered Abbey Road Studios in May '72 and began recording the album with engineer Alan Parsons. All of the songs would flow into one another, stopping only to flip the record. The album begins with a sort of overture featuring soundscapes from the album: Speak to Me. This leads into the soft Breathe, featuring David's multi-tracked voice. Rick provided a unique chord sequence inspired by Miles Davis' Kind of Blue. From there a showcase of the new Synthi AKS sequencer provides the bones for On The Run and sound effects of clocks chiming leads us into Time, credited to all band members. Dave and Rick share vocal duties, Dave performing one of his finest guitar solos. Roger's lyrics about the inevitable passing of time and realizing too late that life has already started are among his best: "Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English Way." A brief reprise of Breathe leads into Rick's beautiful chord sequence to Great Gig in the Sky, also featuring the breathtaking vocals of Clare Torry. That's the A Side. The B Side kicks off with their first hit single in America, Money, featuring a 7/4 bass riff, sung again by Dave and featuring more blues guitar riffs. Dick Parry also performs his first saxophone solo with the band. A collection of voices discussing violence leads us into the beautiful Us and Them, another brilliant chord sequence by Rick and simple direct lyrics from Roger. An amazing transition occurs before Any Colour You Like lead by Rick's moog synthesizer. The album closes with Brain Damage, sung by Roger, and the climatic Eclipse. With a brilliant concept, unforgettable musical choices, fine sonic recording and mixing, it is indeed a must-listen and an album that should be played from beginning to end without interruptions.
Dark Side of the Moon ended a long period of uncertainty following Syd Barrett's departure (appearing only on Piper at the Gates of Dawn and part of A Saucerful of Secrets) and a long stretch of uneven experimental output (More, Ummagumma, Atom Heart Mother). Shortly after Dark Side, 1975's Wish You Were Here would follow up, featuring Shine on You Crazy Diamond, but tensions between the band were starting to become more noticeable. Even more so on the 1977 release Animals, featuring the songs Dogs, Pigs and Sheep. 1979's The Wall is when tensions came to a head with Roger firing Rick and his professional partnership with David completely breaking down (although they co-wrote Comfortably Numb, Run Like Hell and Young Lust - some of their finest songs). After The Final Cut, Roger left the band leaving David as the new front man (and recruiting Rick back into the lineup). 1987's Momentary Lapse of Reason was challenged by Roger's lawsuit but went onto to kick-off a successful tour. 1994's The Division Bell was seen as a return to form and on the tour to follow, the band performed Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety. Breathe and Money would be played for their final performance together at Live 8 2005. Syd Barrett died in 2006, Rick in 2008.

In my opinion there is a lot of albums that I would consider being better than TDSOM really... Even in their own discography... Atom Heart Mother is my favourite Pink Floyd album so yeah. Some other examples of better albums would be (in my opinion): Bad Brains (self-titled), Madvillainy, Close to the Edge (and maybe Fragile too), Breakfast in America, The Beatles (aka The White Album), Sheik Yerbouti... (and some stuff from local artist that you probably wouldn't know...). But The Dark Side of the Moon is really good just not perfect (not that close either).

I’ll never forget the first time I listened to DSOTM, must’ve been 13-14 in like 2003-2004, me and my friend smoked some weed, sat in my living room with the curtains down, put the CD on, and I remember that opening heart beat made the entire room feel like it was pulsating and coming to life. 🥰 What a special album. Especially that last track, what a finale!!! You really feel like you’ve been on a whole journey.

Enjoy your youth, enjoy having all/most of your close friends still with you - some will disappear without an explanation, some will end up hating you, some will go the way of Syd Barrett, some will pass unexpectedly & leave you shocked & traumatized. Be true to yourself & everyone around you; you'll have nothing to fear when you air your dirty laundry before anyone else has the chance to use it against you. Travel domestically & internationally as much as you can. Employers will give you the benefit of the (young man's) doubt until you're about 27+ so use that to your advantage. Don't be afraid to get married and have kids but if you do it's imperative you place your wife and kids above your old friends, and yes, that's going to hurt some people probably. If you go to college focus on your GPA the first three years and come your senior year you'll already have offers & scholarships to the grad schools you want to go to but you'll be able to relax and enjoy your senior year. Focus on your credit score like crazy until you're able to get a good mortgage for a home and then work as hard as you can to pay off your mortgage as early as possible - I paid my 30 year loan off in full in 13 years. Work all the overtime and even two or three jobs while you're young because eventually you'll hit your 30s & you'll struggle to put in 40 hours a week; forget about being able to work 100+ hours per week again once you hit middle age. Only YOU can ever guarantee your own happiness & there's really true power behind the discipline of stoicism.

Try to listen to "Easy All Stars - The Dub Side Of The Moon"... Maybe the best cover/homage, with a really different style BUT extremely faithful to the original. Done by HUGE fans, obviously. BTW, just to share my XP: found this album in a pile of vinyl from my father when I was about 12 or 13, and I was intrigued by the cover (like every monkey we are), then I listened to it on my parents old turntable from the 70s (it happened to me circa 1988), and since then, I have listened to this album maybe dozens of thousands of time... For YEARS, I listened to it AT LEAST once a day, every day (while I was zoning in my computer programming addiction)... I still listen to it many times a month, it never gets old, it was a huge part of the soundtrack of my life. Hope you'll have a wonderful experience in your life, thanks (at least partly) to this album... Best in Space Time, no discussion about it. And yes: transcendent...

This album was an absolute gateway for me. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it helped to set the course of my life It was one of two albums that were the first I bought with my own money - on advice from my older cousin on my thirteenth birthday in 1977 (the other was Led Zep II). The lyrics got me interested in the meaningful use of words and helped me to question the conventions of society. The music transported me and I became infatuated with Gilmour's guitar playing - my mum caught me playing air guitar to it and I got a cheap LP copy for Christmas that year. I've had a guitar around my neck pretty much constantly ever since. Back in '77, I grew my hair and began to develop the values I still hold. Also, of course, I began my journey into classic rock music from prog to bluesrock to west coast and all points in between. I've played in bar bands for forty years because of this... well Led Zep had a part to play in that as well!!

I still have that same LP to this day, this album has been my constant companion in life, in my mind this has no equal, its as close to perfection as its possible to get.

I was just shy of 10 yrs old in March 1973 when DSOTM was released - but my older brother had several PF records already - Relics & Meddle come to mind - but with Dark Side - "Money" was played often - as it was the perfect track for the emerging FM rock radio catching on big in the U.S. - and at that time they still played "deep cuts" - or even complete albums - so I heard the entire record before I ever owned a copy - and since then I've purchased that record in one form or another about 20 times - including the old 8-track format ..

Peace of mind. What a great description! I have tried to encapsulate my feelings when I listen to it, from 'content' to 'relaxed' to even 'hopeful', but peace of mind is perfect. Thank you for that! I do have to point out I absolutely LOVE Any Colour You Like, as to me (as with Careful With That Axe, Eugene on Live At Pompeii), it showcases the band as one cohesive unit. You can hear the voice of each member's instrument shining through, equally, as a collective (but then, there's Shine On You Crazy Diamond...). To me this song never gets enough love, being considered a 'bridge' from Us And Them to Brain Damage. But then again, nobody hears anything the same way. I just wanted to give it the love it deserves.

This album reminds me of the greatness of human creativity; as someone who is often misunderstood, I'm always amazed that such an abstract concept album is understood by so many, bringing back my faith in humans to wrestle with difficult art and philosophy. Which means, there maybe somebody who understands, in my madness what I've been going on about for all these fcuking years. I was age 9 in 73 and had already listened to Obscured, Medde and Atom Heart Mother which were played to death in my Dad's car, so when Dark Side turned up, 'I got it' even at the age of 9, it remains my favourite album of all time, along with the track; time. Great tribute Video

My top 4 Rock Albums: 1. Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd, 2. Boston - Boston, 3. The Cars - The Cars, 4. Led Zeppelin 1 - Led Zeppelin. DSM is complete from start to finish. Even though it is the most popular single on DSM, “Money” is my least favorite song on the album. Yet, “Money” is effectively integrated into the totality of DSM. Nothing can touch DSM. It’s likely to never be challenged as the top album, from the start to the finish. Each song of DSM stands alone and pleasurable to listen to by themselves. Still, unlike DSM, props have to go each to Boston, The Cars and Led Zeppelin because those 3 albums were debut albums. Like DSM, there also are arguably no bad songs on Boston, Cars, or Zeppelin.

I don’t even need to say it but imma have to. TRUE. EPIC. BEAUTIFUL. AND GENIUS Rock n’ Roll concept and album. From start to finish, every single song on the album flows into each other making it incredibly a listenable album. If you don’t like this album, something is wrong with your head and you need to listen to this album, it is a true masterpiece. I’m personally a big metalhead and rocker guy and I love heavy music but I even know that this band, the song Echoes and this album and the others are brilliant. Pink Floyd are true genius in their game in 73’ with Roger’s incredible lyrics, punchy bass, and good singing, David’s sick blues riffs and kickass rock n’ roll song, Nick’s amazing drum fills, and Rick’s beautiful piano and organ playing, we cannot forget those vocal harmonies between David and Rick on “Time”, they are gorgeous and makes you feel like you’re at a better place. It’s given me so much peace of mind and has gotten me through the tough times and it’s like having a best friend you love comforting you whenever you have a tough time. My favorite songs from the album are “Us and Them” and “Time”. We cannot forget about one more thing I wanna talk about. Rick Wright and Claire Tory’s “Great Gig In the Sky”, man man oh man, this literally sounds like early Ann Wilson improvising and it also sounds like a guitar solo but with a mouth. This album so gets a goldfish for me too. David Gilmour, Roger Waters, Nick Mason, and Rick Wright, WE ALL LOVE YOU GUYS for making this incredible rock n’ roll record.

I discovered Pink Floyd in early 1972 when I heard "Echoes"for the first time!! I remember telling people when they would ask me who my favorite group was and I would say "Pink Floyd"and the response was always WHO?? I also remember David Gilmour saying it was really strange being in one of the biggest selling music groups in existence at the time in the mid-70s and he could take his family or and wife to the mall or to a restaurant and no one recognized him!! That made it even better to like Pink Floyd because they were a mystery since they kept their faces off of their albums except for the first one and a half albums in a way!! Their music really is timeless mostly because of their lack of inserting politics into their lyrics and no narcissism!!

The Floyd was tour hardened, thier quad sound was perfect despite the show was at the long gone Olimpia stadium in Detroit MIchigan. (Enormous venue to obtain such great sound in).

I read recently over Pink Floyd videos comments something that made me realize one different spin over Syd's influence on the album: There was this idea from Syd. His idea of keeping the band together would be including two backup singing women who played saxophones in the band. That was laugh at, at the moment... But considering that there is back up singers and there are saxophones players too; it made me think Roger no longer thought Syd was so mad as he might thought of this idea while he was writing it. Maybe him or any of the group, but this is a coincidence. I say it's inspiration, some angrier Syd camp fans will say it's stealing.

​@@billyz5088Exactly. Roger has mentioned this. But Roger hasn't said the existence of back-up singers and saxophone players in the Dark Side of the Moon is a nod to Syd Barrett, or has said it's influenced by him to use these resources for the DSoTM. Until now, the only things aware he has confirmed [on the writing] is the themes of mental illness and things that makes you crazy in life. The acknowledgement of Syd's suggestion exists in a previous phase, it hasn't been crept in into the reasons to make it. What I'm suggesting is to leave open the thought that there's maybe more influences from Syd Barrett existing in the album than in the lyric writing, even in the way it was musically produced.

@@cesarmadero05 -- in the last few months of 1967 - when things were falling apart for Syd and for the band - his suggestion of adding sax players was possibly as permanent full members of the band - rather than just as hired sidemen - such as Dick Parry was when he played sax on DSOTM - this came from a video interview with Roger - and he seemed to be saying that was how the band interpreted Syd's idea at the time - but clearly all they wanted at that time was a guitar player who could sing - and hopefully write some songs - and Syd was apparently no longer willing - or able to do that. I have no doubt that Waters learned a lot from Syd - and a lot of Syd is woven into many of the songs by Waters - lyrically & musically. That said - nobody could write songs like Syd - he was highly original - his lyrics very cryptic & fantasy-based - his time signatures very non-standard. Whatever lessons he took from him - Waters still had to learn to write songs & lyrics his way - and clearly he had a lot of help from Gilmour & Wright to expand his great ideas musically & sonically ..

I’ve heard Dark Side too much where I can’t really review it myself. I’ll say I do find it slightly overrated based only on I hear it too much and hear people talking about it too much. Esp when it comes to Money. I skip it whenever I go into the album. That is obviously not Floyd’s fault as it is and always will be a banger. I just get nothing from it at this point. I think your father speaking on it is the right review to hear. I think it’s a time and place album and how important it was. So with that I can’t say it’s overrated at all so I regress on that take. Great Gig in the sky is one of those tracks I seek out to see how it’s performed by different talents. It’s one of those tracks where you have to do it.

If you listen to this under a black light on "things" while talking to a cardboard blacklight Link cutout as he talks to you as God's mouthpiece....I wouldn't hold it against you.

TL;DR -> Best album in Space Time. No one can argue to that. No one EVER.

@JTCurtis Music Was wondering if you heard about Wizard of Oz being synced to Dark Side of the Moon. Joe Rogan had Rodger Waters on his podcast and asked him if Pink floyd themselves were involved with this and Waters said no.

The very beginning of this video is a nod to that myth...

@JTCurtisMusic I saw the video, and you did mention the myth, and I forgot to mention that. Sorry about that. What I meant to say that I was watching your videos relating to Pink Floyd and you talked about Dark side Of the Moon, which made think of this myth and was wondering if you ever heard about it and it turns out you did.

I’d say this album is one of my top ten albums. In fact my top ten would probably look something like this: 10. Abbey Road - The Beatles 9. Blood Sugar Sex Magik - Red Hot Chili Peppers 8. Boston (self titled) 7. Black Album - Metallica 6. Dark side of the Moon - Pink Floyd 5. The Wall - Pink Floyd 4. Pyromania - Def Leppard 3. Weezer Blue Album 2. Pump - Aerosmith 1. Theatre of Pain - Mötley Crüe Thank you for the amazing content. This channel needs to be seen by more people.

You must understand, therefore, why once Watters leaves the band, Pink Floyd is no longer at its best.

I heard dark side of the moon on its release. In 1973. It's by far the greatest Pink Floyd has ever made. Everything before and after pale In comparison.. I have listened to it thousands of times and I never ever get tired of listening to it. It's a timeless masterpiece. The new redux release by Roger Waters is a disaster. Horrible. Only made to annoy David Gilmour because of a pathetic decade long fight between them. Sad but true

The Wall is an amazing album, for sure, but Dark Side overrated? Surely you jest. It's musical perfection.

The unnecessary instrumentals or weird sounds between songs really annoys me I think it was only added to make the album longer
