Dark Side of the Moon

From a song "craftmanship" standpoint, they had very few equals. Obviously, it is cliche to cite the Beatles, but they were the prototypes of a music industry (producers and engineers, particularly) that had evolved to the point where such craftsmanship, while still amazing in hindsight, was more approachable that just a few years before.

So, part of this was "right place, right time." But the work put into, particularly, this album remains impressive almost 50 years later.

That's right. Next year, DSOTM turns 50.

Way ahead of it’s time and I cannot think of any better.

Arguably the most critically acclaimed record in history. 14x Platinum, 962 weeks on Billboard, over 45 million copies sold.

This will never happen again.

If I was allowed only one album for eternity, it would be Dark Side of the Moon.

That Alan Parsons guy was pretty talented as well.

I never got into Pink Floyd until college and only knew of a few songs, like Another Brick, Comfortably Numb, Hey You etc. A friend told me to listen to all of DSOTM. It may have been one of my first great experiences of experiencing and consuming an album as a whole, start to finish. I remember finishing it and not being quite sure at what I had heard, but it sparked curiosity in me and made me want to play it again.

The album changed a lot about what music meant to me and set me on a path to discovering my own taste in music.

I haven't listened to DSOTM in a long time. Time to rediscover.

Listening to any of the Floyd stuff with a cool buzz is still one of the greatest recollections.

It's quite honestly what I'd expect heaven to sound like

I remember that feeling as well. I was never into Floyd either and then I caught the Live at Gdansk concert on tv and went down the rabbit hole. Man that was so great experiencing DSOTM, Wish you were here, and Animals for the first time. I love me some David Gilmour.
