THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON

Probably the best prog album ever.. perhaps the best rock album ever in my opinion. Just the right mix of rock, R&B and prog elements. The only flaw is that perhaps it is too short. I remember first hearing this as a teenager and liking it immediately along with plenty of other prog albums at the time by Genesis, ELP, King Crimson, etc.. However this is the only album that has completely stood the test of time. It is as listenable now as it was then and one of the few albums that you really need to listen to in it's entirety. Dave Gilmour's guitar solos in Money and Time are in my mind, the finest ever recorded. Gilmour's and Waters's vocals are smooth and flawless. Keyboards, bass and drums though not flashy, fill out the sound perfectly. Often imitated, never surpassed.
