On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.

What, you mean it's not a symbolic statement that there's a little bit of gay in all of us? Wink

I was listening to that on the way to work this morning. Great album. I've only owned it for less than a year. A travesty, I know. I like the Syd Barrett stuff better though. KIDDING! Calm down, globule.

Has not consumed the appropriate substances while listening to Pink Floyd (the better to "decode" it).

Maybe that's it. Never liked "herb," never tried anything else. Only like alcomahol.

Okay, time for an intervention. If you haven't ever done so, do the following: Get a hold of a copy of "Dark Side of the Moon." (You know, "borrow" it from someone). Set aside 47 minutes or so. Find a quiet place where you won't be interrupted. Listen to it from start to finish through a pair of a good headphones (this is essential -- preferably the kind that cover your ears, as opposed to crappy earbuds). If you aren't impressed, then Pink Floyd is simply not for you. And there will be nothing I can do to protect you from the angry horde. MTA: because I will be leading the horde. Tongue

*plugs ears and sings lalalalala* Pink Floyd happens to be one of my FAVORITE bands and can't imagine ANY GOOD reason why anyone wouldn't like them Confused

Ditto this! BTW I used to listen to that album to get myself relaxed to go to sleep at night Wink

Owning a VCS doesn't even make PF cool. I have stopped listening to any band that covers The Wall. (Okay, I have made a few exceptions on that one!) Anyways, I'd rather listen to country music. Big grin

Dark Side of the Moon is one of the greatest concept albums ever. Pink Floyd is incredibly influential in rock and psychedelic music, and David Gilmour's guitar style is unique and hasn't ever been imitated. They are true pioneers. The use of sound effects, synths, and other tools for such an early recording (1972) is nothing short of amazing. People would have trouble putting together something so complex with the modern fancy computer tools studios have today. Pink Floyd was at its peak in the 1970s starting with Meddle, then Dark Side, then Wish You Were Here, then Animals, closing out 1979 with the Wall, not to mention a couple of unqiue Soundtracks. An amazing span of releases in about 8-9 years. Some people hate Pink Floyd, but you really need to listen through their catalog a few times to understand and appreciate it. You absolutely do NOT have to indulge in any sort of alcohol or checmical mind altering substances to enjoy and appreciate the music or the genious it is. So my long winded response to you question - One of the greatest rockalbums in history, and well deserved place as one of the best selling albums ever. I own 23 versions of this- multiple CDs,gold, remastered, box sets,imports from all overthe world,vinyl, original pressing vinyl complete with poster and stickers!!, clear vinyl from Japan, etc
