Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon Review

As I prepared to get out of a rusty light blue VW Bug, after a particularly boring first and last date, I could feel the rush of joy that I was home and able to get back to the book I should have stayed home reading. When my hand found the door handle the almost former date asked me to wait and listen to a tape he just received from a buddy of his. Flustered and wanting out of this date but not wanting to hurt the guy's feelings too badly, we went to the same art school after all and there is the artistic angst factor to consider...I agreed to listen. I was transfixed by the opening of "Breathe" and ended up sitting in that cramped Bug listening to the entire tape.

I am now looking at the calendar changing to 2009 later this week and still consider Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" one of the best works to come from the mind of any musician. It's hard to comprehend the night club at the Ft. Lauderdale Holiday Inn was advertising "Free Hussle Lessons" as Disco made it's appearance at the same time "Dark Side of the Moon" appeared in record stores when they still sold records.

Who doesn't think of "Dark Side of the Moon" when Lazarium is mentioned? Disco has come and gone, made a brief yet confused comback then went away again. "Dark Side of the Moon" came onto the scene, spreading ever so quietly and never went away.

Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" is the kind of music teenagers and Grandparents can agree on. It's the music that has Mom yelling to her kids, "Will you PLEASE turn that music up! Do you think you're the only one in the house?"
