THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON

There had to be something in the air in the late sixties, and seventies, when such giants as Floyds and Purples appeared. I remember that my dad used to say, that in nowadays music such jewels simply cannot be found. Then I considered it to be a typical case of nostalgia for youth, since in nineties there were many bands that I found to be pretty good - as Oasis, The Verve, Radiohead ... But the more I explore the rock music of his youth, the more I'm convinced he was right. Conceptuality, the strength of ideas, arrangements, and using allegories in Floyds' work make them truly outstanding, comparing to anything else that was produced, not only in their most remarkable era around the mid of seventies. I think they'll be considered to be Mozarts of our time. DSOTM is undoubtedly a great album, although I don't find it really much better than their others, namely Animals and The Wall I like a bit more. So, comparing inside PF works, it wouldn't maybe get five stars, but in comparison to the total majority of works, that I've ever heard, it definitely deserves them.
