5 stars Creativity, sensitivity, sense of music and a desire to do something revolutionary. This is the album Dark Side of the Moon

It was also to be on time and right place for it.

The year was 1972. Rock'n Roll was disputed. Many music critics thought the Rock was dying. However, everyone saw the opposite, because that was the golden era of prog.

Pink Floyd still lived their best. The band members were still together and thinking as a team. The desire to work together and create together still remained.

So what we saw was the birth of a masterpiece. An album reviewed today and still be so for many years. A rare work, such as a cut stone with great care.

Pink Floyd had made fantastic albums as Meddle and Atom Heart Mother. The song Echoes (1971) already showed the high quality of the band. But the masterpiece was only launched in March 1973 and was marked forever.

After that job, nothing was so great. With the full agenda, with the demands of showbiz and the increasing stress, the band began to disintegrate. Everything began to change. It was the harbinger of the end.

Now we can see that all this was necessary. Without these requirements of life, no major work. There are no masterpieces.

Like all, great bands are born, grow and die.

I'm glad to know that this band knew how to make good use of his lifetime.
