THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON

Almost everything has already been said and written about this album, so I'll keep it brief. This is probably one of the most influential albums in progressive music ever and it is my personal favourite Pink Floyd album together with "Wish You Were Here". It's difficult to argue which one of those two albums is better, if there is one?

Pink Floyd got me interested in progressive music. Before that I was listening more to The Beatles, U2, Radiohead and more "mainstream" music. I think by discovering Pink Floyd I discovered progressive music! Now at least half of my CD collection consists out of prog- rock albums. Why this little "of subject" note here? I just want to make clear that Pink Floyd has not only influenced a great number of other bands, it has also influenced my taste in music! And I think only for the better.

Despite a few flaws in the album (I particularly don't really like the poppy track "Money" which sounds a bit like they were trying to make a hit single) I give this album the full 5 stars that it deserves because of its great importance on the entire progressive rock scene!
