I remember very distinctly hearing this on the radio one day, around 1997 and thinking if I'd been making music when this came out I would have just throw up my hands and said "I give up, Pink Floyd wins." This album holds the record for most consecutive weeks on the Billboard album charts...with over 14 years straight.

The rest of the band tried LSD once & hated it, and tried to discourage Syd from taking it. And he never just took off either, he remained in the band after his schizophrenia kicked in from taking too much. But he often just played one chord the whole gig, sung wrong lyrics or just never sang at all when he was meant to. They eventually just unplugged all his equipment on stage so nobody noticed, including Syd. Then 1 day on the way to rehearsals, someone in the car said 'should we pick up Syd' To which they got the response 'let's not'... And that was that.

That said, it's difficult to prove anything so it's worth being open to to all theories. It certainly seems like the moon has to be here for life to exist on earth but you can't discount the anthropic principle. I don't know what to believe. Either way it's a stunning album.

This is only the tip of the Pink Floyd iceberg, so much more to be happy to drown in. Grew up with this band, they get better with time, great reaction as always. Much love and respect-!- p.s. you missed the very last part " there's no dark side of the really, as a matter of fact-it's all dark. It's the sun that makes it bright"

I've heard this song a hundred times or more but the lines "And if the dam breaks open many years too soon And if there is no room upon the hill" suddenly impacted me with their full meaning. Good to read the lyrics sometimes.

Pink Floyd is awesome...do the whole album...it is one big song!

They got the line The Lunatic is on the grass when they saw a sign that said keep off the grass and they thought that was crazy or Ludacris. They were in their mid to late 20s when they made this album.

Arguably the greatest album of all time. It was on the charts for 741 consecutive weeks from 1973-1988 and was only at #1 for a single week out of that entire run.

Sorry, no.

Best advice I can ever give to someone is to smoke a bowl or vape some wax and listen to this album while laying outdoors on the grass staring at a full moon. I did this with friends after a hurricane knocked out all the power in South Florida so there was no light pollution and we could see so many stars and the moon was full. One of the best nights ever.

I don't know if you'll see this, guys, but this album and the follow-up "Wish You Were Here" were inspired by and a tribute to Syd Barret, Pink Floyd's original guitarist and founding member. Syd had gone waaay too deep with hallucinogenic drugs, LSD in particular, and just fried himself. He was committed (maybe self? don't know) and became a shadow of a person. Syd's sun was eclipsed by the moon of heavy drug use and the pressures and manipulations of the music business; he was the lunatic on the grass.

They were in their mid 20's when they released this album in 1973.

They weren’t old when they created this they were in their late twenties and early thirties. Floyd has funk, style and depth. Enjoy

Two posters came with the Dark Side of the Moon album back in 1973. It was my very first album. The album that turned me on to music.

Band members age ranged from 26 to 32 when they started recording this album. Took them over 6 months to complete

They weren't old when this album came out! They may still be in the business, but this came out when they were in their 20s.

Bro I was young back when this came out. Born in Oakland , yeah that Oakland and lived in the east Bay and we all had huge neighborhood parties. The street sound then was Santana and War and Pink Floyd. Great food on picnic tables, peoples drinking beer and smoking pipes. You don’t hear much about that side of the old days only the parts were malcontents caused stupid trouble for dumb reasons. I can tell you back in those days if you were a young boy and ran out in the street after a ball a neighbor man would grab you by the collar and scold you and it didn’t matter what melanin level you had or he had. I know in my heart if we could all get together it would be a good thing.

Great suggestion!!!! I saw Yes back in the day (and PF a few times) and it’s a great choice.

Any Floyd intro immediately gives me a sense of peace & relaxation.

What I like is how the verse sounds like the singer is crazy, but he's just having a hard time expressing himself: "The lunatic is in my head. You raise the blade, you make the change, you rearrange me 'til I'm sane. You lock the door and throw away the key. There's someone in my head but it's not me." Basically describing a lobotomy.

Dark Side Of The Moon (released 1973) Roger Waters - September 6, 1943 David Gilmour - March 6, 1946 Nick Mason - January 27, 1944 Richard "Rick" Wright - July 28, 1943 (died 2008) FYI: The following Pink Floyd albums are Concept Albums (all songs together tell a complete story)... Dark Side Of The Moon (1973), Wish You Were Here (1975), Animals (1977) and The Wall (1979); The Final Cut (1983) is a maybe, as it was the last album with Roger Waters being in the band. Pink Floyd was formed in 1965... their (most likely) last album was "The Endless River" in 2014. PF had 15 studio albums... 3 live albums, 9 compilation albums not to mention multiple live dvds and solo albums performed by below members of the band. .

MORE PINK FLOYD!!! :D

The greatest rock album in history. And Brain Damage/Eclipse is especially poignant. Always makes me emotional. Also, it was on the soundtrack to Westworld and (no spoilers), the lyrics are pretty much the plot!!

What happened to Syd Barrett had an influence on quite a few Floyd songs but the complete and permanent mental breakdown of the bands original creative force whose also an old friend is going to have that effect on you. It definitely effected Waters

"There is no dark side of the moon, really. As a matter of fact, it's all dark." Cut off too early to hear this said.

He wishes he could live just one day back in the 1970s. I love him. He’s so pure.

Pink Floyd broke up in 1985, so they are not doing this anymore, with a couple of quick reunion's for one off concerts. In 1987 they got back together without Rodger Waters, for a couple more sub-par albums. Plus another album of unused Pink Floyd tracks from the division bell album, in 2014 called the Endless River. Rodger Waters and David Gilmore both have solo careers in music. Nick Mason had a solo album in 1981. In 2018 Mason started a new band that focuses on early Pink Floyd. They are well into their 70's, and even if they got back together it seems they have lost their edge at masterful songwriting. If you want to hear a post Rodger Waters Pink Floyd I suggest, A Momentary Laspe Of Reason, it has a couple great tunes, but still not quite up to the standard of most of their 1970's albums. On that album, On The Turning Away, and Learning To Fly & One Slip is also worth a listen.

"I'm feeling the 1970s" that is simply incredible. This is basically what pink Floyd's goal was with this record - to encapsulate what it felt like being alive in their time - in the 70s.

Young un'!?😁 This album came out in '73!😂 46 years ago!💥 They were in their 20s!😲 Like me, they're old now 😢, but not back then!🤣✌️

This was made in the 1970s, so they weren't that old, but yes the band had matured in their recordings and creativity had broadened. I love Pink Floyd because they were always reinventing themselves and doing entire albums that told stories with each song being connected. This is one of their best albums. Love Pink Floyd.

Shout out to the background singers! They're killin' it! Also, the 70's were glorious...

Raise your hands if you grew up with or just loved AOR radio format - Album Oriented Rock!! I loved getting a band's thematic journey from an album. I grew up with WLRS (Louisville KY) AOR format. God bless those days.

You're listening to album that came out in 1973 then calling them old. They weren't then. It's one of the worlds biggest selling albums of all time but thanking for listening to it and bringing it to a new audience. If ever an album dealt with mental health its this. Trust me the 70's were better for music not equality etc etc but for your soul

I did grow up in the 70's & 80's, and can tell ya, they were really cool ! I loved them. The cars and all the great tunes !

For the longest time, I considered Sgt Peppers to be my all time favorite album, but as I've gotten older that's changed. While I still love the Beatles and they definitely influenced my taste in music, I've come to appreciate Pink Floyd so much more in the past 15 years or so. The Wall was the album of my senior year in high school and it's deeply embedded in my brain and linked to so many great memories of that year. My older brother gave me the Dark Side of the Moon LP as a graduation gift in 1980 and over the years, it's supplanted Sgt Peppers as my favorite. It is truly timeless.

What a great track to start off your first Pink Floyd introduction to.😉I have no doubt you'll love their music the more you listen to them.☺️

Clever boy! This album is from 1973, you nailed it

This album came out in 1972. I purchased it in 74' for about $8.00. Never been the same since.

Did you know, this song came out in 1973, that's one year after the death of the greatest proponent of a special kind of brain sergey called "the prefrontal lobotomy". In this operation Walter Freeman would hammer leucotomes (spikes like ice picks) into the patients brain and uning specific movements he would separate the frontal lobe (the part of the brain responsible for self control, your personality, inspiration and the will to live) from the rest of the brain. It sounds insane and outlandish but the inventor of this proedure received a Nobelpreis (the lowest moment in nobel history) his name was António Egas Moniz. Lots of people were getting them selves and their family members lobotomized, for example war veterans, misbehaved children and even John F. Kennedys Sister. I may be wrong but this might be the subject matter of this song. I love this song thought and you should really listen to the whole album in one go, it's made like one long song.

Have you listened to "wish you were here" by Pink Floyd?

If you really want to hear this album properly, you need to make a recreational visit to Colarado.

Ayyyy! Pink Floyd are the king's

Dark Side of the Moon came out early 1970's. It is actually one continuous song. I bought the vinyl album in around 1983, listened with headphones or with the 6 speakers around my room.

If you haven't watched One flew Over the Cuckoos Nest", reference "you raise the blade and make the change..."

And if your YT Channel starts playing different tunes, I'll see you on the dark side of the moon. ;)

Honestly I never gave this album too much credit. Until yesterday when I ate a bunch of mushrooms (second time doing them) and had one of the best experiences of my life when it started randomly playing. Instantly my favorite album of all time. I dont usually listen to full albums but this is a masterpiece!

When they wrote this album they were in there 20s. Now they are in there 60s and 70s. Sadly broke up. I just found you guys and I love your reactions to the best music 🎶 Keep on listening.

He passed from cancer 2 years ago after 40 years Married. I had them put the pyramid on his urn. That is how big a fan he was. Keep on banging. Love you too. Enjoy the music. Its great your exploring different types of music. Peace ✌ out. Kathy.

I really like your open mind and willingness to enjoy older classic progressive rock. Give a listen to “Hey You” from the Wall album. You will be blown away!

I don't know where to start here. Number one you can't just listen to one song off of this album you have to listen to the entire album. Meaning listen to that album continuously and it's entirety from one from start to finish in a dark room. He's always talking about people telling stories. listen to what the hell they're talking about dude. I mean they are not old when they made this. They're stoned out of their mind but they aren't old. They're just fucking cool. This is probably one of the top five albums of all time.

I love the way you were conducting like an orchestra!! That’s Pink Floyd. I think you get it! ❤️💯

“Old chill vibe.” Love it! Now I have to go listen to my whole 70s playlist. (My high school years. I wish I could take you back for a day and show you around. It would be fun to get your take on stuff I was just used to.)

This entire album is iconic!
