Let's face it....I was never a fan of rock. I had always come from an r&b background. I met a fellow music lover who was getting into new styles of music and took some of the many suggestions I made. He, in return, did the same and suggested DSOTM by Pink Floyd. At first I thought"WWWWWHAT"? This is until I gave it a listen and I must say that it is the CLASSIC that everyone has called it. From open to close it gives the goods! —…

Dark Side of the Moon came out in 1973 and has been on the rock charts most of the time since. It is Pink Floyd at their best. No other band has ever matched the audio imagery that this album produced. The heartbeat at the beginning is a perfect loop through of the heartbeat at the end and the music in between holds you thoughout. I bought this album when it came out (i was 8) and have a copy of it ever since, from vinyl to CD. I would gladly recommend this to anyone that likes the classic rock…

dark side of the moon is a must have for any collection--great guitar work, magical synthesizer moods and some totally sexy sax riffs--add to that some fabulous lyrics and almost operatic back-up vocals and you have this seminal rock icon!! this an album that listens well from start to finish and, even if you had the vinyl as a youngster, with sound quality as advanced as it's become, it deserves to be heard…

I'm pretty eclectic when it comes to music...but I must say that Pink Floyd is pretty close to my heart...I remember my Dad introducing me to their music while sitting out on the deck over the lake late at night...blaring his outdoor speakers ... good times. — This album in particular is just phenominal...Well, all of their albums are and always will be classic and will be enjoyed by all ages for years and years to come. — There aren't many descriptive words that can describe their sound...amazing. If you haven't taken the time to appreciate…

This is perhaps one of the best albums ever made. From start to finish, Pink Floyd has also been successful in having this album on the charts longer than any other album in Billboard history. — I love how each track on the album runs into eachother. The only song I don't like is "Money" because it is overplayed. — Pink Floyd outdid themselves and have never matched the success of this album in their history. It is by fair their best album to date.…

I can still picture my teenage years, driving around listening to dark side of the moon. There has not, nor will there ever be, another album that sounds like this one. It is a complete masterpiece, from start to finish... almost like watching a movie made of sounds. It takes you on a journey, from start to finish, with quaint segways, and deep soul sounds. If you haven't taken a ride to the dark side of the moon lately, what are you waiting for? …

a slow jams lover, not rich, always with my iPod, into trying new things, rock and roll lover, hard to impress, punk rocker, Very Bad At Singing In Japanese
Pink Floyd is one of the best bands of all time. It has spent more time on the charts than most pop music all together. The entire album is amazing and completly gripping. Pink Floyd has always had that effect with their music. Every track from Breath to Eclipse has its own personality that you will love. — I highly recomend this album if by some chance you are in the small group of people worldwide that hasnt baught it yet. —…

a classic rocker, a fan of good music
I LOVE THIS ALBUM!!!! No matter how many times I listen to it, it never gets old. Pink Floyd is one of the most influential forces in music history and Dark Side of the Moon is their immortality. A truly remarkable cd that pushes the envelop of music. The use of off the wall objects, such as keys and a cash register, make this a very interesting…

Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon is one of the albums that sent Pink Floyd skyrocketing into stardom and for good reasons. With songs such as Money, Time, Eclipse, and Brain Damage, no wonder this album is off the charts. Its songs combine calm and fast paced music along with great lyrics. I recommend this album to…
