So true. A British journalist/critic recently described Dark Side as one of the most important artistic statements of the last 50 years. I’ve long believed that, and I agree with those who agree with me. 🙄 Regards

"A classic is a work that has never finished saying what it has to say". This is the definition of a classic given by Italian writer Italo Calvino. This album corresponds perfectly to this definition, it crosses time without aging.

Here I sit 51 years later, and it's STILL a MASTERPIECE of MUSIC. Just as it was when it was produced in the Spring of 1973.

It warms my heart to see young people such as yourself discovering and falling in love with the music I grew up listening to. You and others like you are keeping this music alive.

"The paper holds their folded faces to the floor, and everyday the paperboy brings more." Is one of my all time favorite lyrics. For me, it refers to newspapers (replaced by the internet now) and this existential dread that comes with the daily news, in a "if it bleeds, it leads" society. The newspapers are folded found the middle, and the lyric really gives ne the imagery of someone reading a paper, in a quiet state of dread, which is replaced daily by the paperboy.

Beautifully put and (I believe) spot-on. I think a lot of people miss that reference, maybe because they're looking for something more abstract in that phrase. I think even Floyd would be pleased with your imagery.

Listen to this album, start to finish, and enjoy the ride. And remember, you don't listen to Pink Floyd, you FEEL their music.

This album is one of life's masterpieces. Saw them live in 1977 here in Milwaukee on the Animals Tour. Epic to say the least. Hearing their new music as it came out was an experience . So many nites with headphones and a joint, getting my mind expanded by these dudes...... ;) Well done bro

I think the transition from Us and Then into Any color you like is the best transiti n ever

Oh man. Us and Them is my favorite! Glad you enjoyed it.

Pink Floyd is Legendary! No other band like Pink Floyd!

Decades from now this album will still be played and mentioned as a masterpiece of art. That's how to listen to Pink Floyd.

This is my favorite pink Floyd song and thank you very much sir

Pink Floyd is spiritual awakening through the music ! What a journey throughout the decades..👍🥰🤔😄😉

Just took my grandson to Roger Waters it was amazing. My grandson loved it, and we had a blast. I've always loved this album all pink Floyd. Love watching your reations. Gina.

Animals or Wish You Were Here are both full albums to listen too.

Unless its Roger Waters management. His stuff usually does.. But I've seen more The Wall listens getting through (in small batches) I think the boys know its been fifty years so anyone talking about it should be educational.

The most profound album of all time. I like lots of different musical styles, genres, and generations. Top of the enormous pile of music I admire.

No matter what kind of day you're having Pink Floyd can refocus your attitude.

I don’t drink either. Anymore.

Ears in, eyes closed.. Yep, that's how to listen to Floyd.

Back in the day, we'd listen to this where it was "required" to know, and perfectly recite, in unison, the lyrics to "Eclipse" from memory!

I’ve never known Pink Floyd to block anything, ever. ❤️❤️❤️

Wait, wait, wait, let me light this thing.......ok, lets go.

When I look back on the 70's, there was such greatness in the music that we took it for granted 🎶

Pink Floyd’s albums are a story from beginning to end. You’re right…it is an experience. Check out how long this album was in the charts! You may like to check out their next album ‘Wish you were here.’ As I boomer so called this was my seventies…so glad to introduce young people to the experience. Now do you understand why people like me roll our eyes at modern music?

Love Pink Floyd .

Someone definitely did a good job raising you. You don't drink you read Mark Twain and your appreciation of great classic music. The more I learn about you the more impressive you get. I see greatness in your future.

I first noticed how good DSOTM was when I got a long ride as a hitchhiker. I still remember how the flow matched the drive through the mountains so well. It has to be the best road trip album of all time.

“Wish You Were Here” is the album following Dark Side! Fantastic!

Yeah man that was the janitor that worked at Abbey Road and all the monologue is him telling stuff they would ask him questions and he would give his opinion and they would talk about philosophy and different things and that was so cool man that they put that all in there

Pink floyd leaves you begging for morr.

This came out a half a century ago. And it's still so relevant. This is Roger Waters' masterpiece. This album is one of the best selling LP's of all time selling over 50 MILLION copies. The album itself STILL goes platinum every year as new fans find it and old fans replace old records and CD's. Meant, by Waters, to be a one long 42 minute suite, it had to be broken up into songs so the band could be paid for an "album" & not a single. This album was on the Billboard Hot 100 for 987 weeks (That's 19 YEARS on the charts, JUST INSANE). It was selected for preservation in the United States National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". It literally is a PERFECT album. #1 of all time in my opinion. The lengths they went to, to pull this off in 1973, with no computers and analog is just astounding!!

Pink floyd "Have a cigar" next bro love the reaction

"Any Colour You Like" is my favorite song on the Album and to me is the quintessential Floyd sound.

Roger Waters has a strong idea about the choice of the title (Any Color You Like) and its meaning. In Cambridge, where he lived at the time, vendors came from London in vans to sell bric-a-brac of cheap crockery and cutlery. One day when one of them had hooked up a customer for a set of Chinese plates, Roger overheard him selling his product, adding: "Yes ma'am, you can have them for 10p, the color of your choice, they are all BLUE (Any color you like, they're all blue)" Which led him to believe that all choices in a man's life are guided. No matter what path you take, karma will always catch up with you. Man thinks of making his own decisions, choosing his own color, but everything is already dictated, everything is BLUE. Typically Waters metaphor.

@@thepragmatic6383 I've never heard that. That was Henry Ford's famous quote, 60 years previous to that song. When the Model-T and Model-A we're first produced, he was asked if they came in other colors: "Any color you like...as long as it's BLACK." (They used Black paint to keep costs down, since it was the cheapest) 'Black' seemed to fit the concept, as in "There is no Dark side of the Moon really... matter of fact it's all Dark. I'm not doubting your story. I've just never heard Roger tell it. Though, the salesman definitely got that from Henry Ford...minus the Black. Sorry for nit-picking.

Watching your reaction makes me want to re-hear Pink Floyd again for the first time so bad. They are truly unmatched when it comes to any genre of music. The most beautiful band of all time (in my opinion) happy you got experience them and share it with all of us 🤘🏼

I was 18 years old when this came out and had heard pretty much evrything Pink Floyd had done up tol this album, I thoudgt this cant be Pink Floyd , it sounds nothing like the albums before, and I loved and still love those albums but this was an Absolute Masterpiece of an album. Pink Floyd was and still is my favorite band all time.

I really enjoy just sitting back with you and jammin Floyd. Cheers

Another thing about Floyd's concept albums is that they are cumulative. They build up from one album to the next in a way few other bands match.

Meddle Album... songs on side one are good, Echoes on side 2 is another masterpiece

My first time I heard this I was high and WOW 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

Great reaction..Dark side of Moon was on the top 100 albums for 20yrs?!?!maybe more?!? Try some Bob Dylan G.O.A.T.

"I can't think of anything to say except... - I think it's marvelous! HaHaHa!" This sentence is from Peter Watts, road manager of Pink Floyd and Yes. He is at the origin of this very particular laugh on the intro Speak to Me and Brain Damage. Note that he is also the father of actress Naomi Watts and we can see him on the back cover of Ummagumma, showing all their equipment lined up in front of the van, on an airport runway.

Ah, Mr. Pope you do it again. There is one of two popes I admire. It isn't the one giving masses in the Vatican. We loved this, us and them, but we all have brain damage. We hide under the bed during eclipses. All that aside keep up the good work. You are a fine fellow.

Complete genius, just a group of guys in their 20s and early 30s. A nice blunt really brings this album to life 😏

Great reaction. "The lunatics are in my hall, the paper holds their folded faces to the floor, and every day the paper boy brings more" Alludes to newspapers being delivered through the door usually by young boys we refer to as "paper boys" (UK doors have letter boxes where the mail and such is delivered directly into the hall and so each morning the mail and newspapers etc lie on the floor in the hallway of our homes for us to pick them up) It is one of those quirks where to a British person the lyrics make obvious sense but to an American who don't have letterboxes in the doors or newspapers delivered in such a way it would be hard to grasp. So of course the lunatics are the people who make up the headlines in the newspapers and their folded faces are their photos in the newspaper that has been folded to deliver through the letterbox.

As Canada is a former English colony, we inherited these mailboxes, pierced through the door, through which the daily newspapers were delivered. This means that we have not only inherited the face of Elisabeth II on our banknotes and our coins.

Born in 79 and I have every vinyl record. Was babysitting with a friend and put the wall album on. Never heard it before and hooked as my favorite band of all time. Every album is amazing.

Animals would be the easiest album to to, it's only really 3 songs, and has a cohesive theme. I would recommend following along with the lyrics. Wish You Were Here is another great, complete album, a sad and bitter ode to Syd. The Wall is a monster of an album, and might be best reacted to as four parts. It tells the literal story of the character "Pink Floyd", a composite of Syd and Roger, from the loss of Roger's father in WWII when Roger was a baby, to Syd's descent into madness. It's a complete story told in four acts, or four sides of a double album.
