THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON

Although not my favorite Pink Floyd album, this is the album that initially got me into the band. While many others found their path to Floyd via "The Wall" or WYWH, this was my gateway. From heartbeat to heartbeat, the scope of this recording is awe-inspiring. From 1973-1977, Floyd were on a level no one else could touch. It's hard to pile on more comments above what has already been said. There are fewer people out there who don't have this in their collection than those who do. I think its accessibility to the 'mainstream' listening public is another positive aspect of the album. It's one of those very rare occasions where the mainstream got a taste of all that is good about art-rock/prog-rock.
