1973's Pink Floyd record The Dark Side of the Moon is easily one of the most famous albums of all-time, toting what is perhaps the most recognizable cover art ever concocted. Its 10 tracks (or 9, if you're old-school) tell a deeply human tale, celebrating the ups and downs of life with some of the most vivid and emotional rock lyrics ever constructed, all within a progressive rock framework that sounds like it was written and recorded yesterday. Of course, it wasn't. It's a nearly 50 year old work of art, now. That's what makes it so special, and why we're so eager to gush about the wonderful work of Gilmour, Waters, Mason, and Wright. So hit play.

I’ve been loving the album knockbacks. I still have to listen to the recent sgt. peppers episode. I think brain damage might be about syd Barrett. I certainly know some songs on wish you were here are about Syd. I keep forgetting how great dark side is, it certainly feels like the music exists in a space unto itself.

Colin is dead right about Time, you have to be certain age in order for hit you fully I think the line “No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun” is ironic. People *did* tell you to run, the world was telling you to run the whole time, you just lacked the capacity to understand it until it was too late.

About 5 years back my buddy and I made a friendly bet that the loser had to sing the great gig in the sky at a major karaoke bar. This happened on a Saturday night prime time stage setting. It was a good laugh to say the least.

I agree 100% David Gilmour is a genius definitely one of the greatest musicians ever. You guys have to listen to his live albums especially Live in Gdańsk.

Great episode. You guys will have to do The Wall as well.

Time is such an amazing song I appreciate the lyrics everytime I listen to it, plus the guitar solo is god tier. Overall the whole album is a masterpiece

Love these music episodes. I disagree that foam padding is needed for great recordings. Till the levee breaks iconic drum sound was achieved in a castle hallway. Blood,sugar,sex,magick is recorded in the mansion where Jimi Hendrix recorded amongst others. Checkout “Funky Monks” documentary on the making of that album. Most of it is recorded in living rooms, hallways and even outside on a hillside! Looking forward to your next review!

I decided to listen to this album again. Really is a breath taking audile journey. Then I got to Eclipse and realised I have heard the song recently. Ended up being remade for the first 'Dune Part 1' trailer. Such a poetic use of their music and having a choir adds an eeriness to it. Link for any who want to listen to it https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=n9xhJrPXop4 Great episode gents

I love Dark Side of the Moon, but Wish You Were Here is, in my humble opinion, a better album. Hands down. Because of this Knockback, I did a lengthy Pink Floyd listen-a-thon this weekend. I listened to Dark Side, WYWH, The Final Cut, and A Momentary Lapse of Reason back to back to back to back. What really stuck out to me was how sonically hollow Gilmour's vocals are on Momentary Lapse. Compared to other Floyd albums, his vocals don't mesh with the music that surrounds them. The other thing that stuck out was a reminder of just how much TFC was a Roger Waters album instead of a Pink Floyd album. If you've ever heard Waters' solo releases (especially the outstanding Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking), you'd be hard pressed to separate TFC from his solo work. Except for the amazing sax work by David Sanborn on Hitchhiker and the telltale guitars by Clapton. On a related note, check out the Polyphonic YouTube channel. He's currently doing a new episode for each track on WYWH. Great stuff.
