What does it matter if its overated or not?
Its only overated by the unintelligent mainstream sh*t heads that are the anti-prog. So what does it matter what the mainstream public thinks of an album.
Its good album either way. Not the best pink floyd album by far, but one of the best and most influencial albums in the music bussiness.

pink floyd has a depressing mood about them but that's why i like them, they are consistently able to produce this depressing sound.

Beethoven's Fifth Symphony is overrated. 
Just kidding on that last one, BTW. DSOTM is a classic. Classics are not overrated, maybe overplayed, but definitely not overrated.

Are my eyes deceiving me ???
Pink Floyd,ELP,Genesis and Yes are over-rated???????? 
I hate these over-rated threads and i say again OVER-RATED THREADS ARE OVER-RATED!!
All you get are people moaning about how they 'don't get' this or that album - get over it - move on - its all about OPINION - if we liked the same stuff it'd be boring - Dark Side of the Moon is a classic to a lot of people - if you ain't one of those people, so what???

I like the album itself and do think it might be overrated on a prog-rock scale but not on just a rock scale. I like Pink Floyd, but I tend to think that they are also overrated. They have four or five amazing albums (unless you don't like DSOTM) yet they also have four or more just-okay albums, therefore I tend to think they get too much praise...but personally I don't think DSOTM is overrarted because of what it's done in terms of bringing some sort of popularity to progressive rock.

What is the definition of over-rated?
I'm not a huge fan of DSOTM as I find it a bit soporific (but that
applies to most PF songs for me, all at the same medium pace). I do
like to play it from time to time and it's a very well recorded album.
Obviously a lot of people rate it highly and it deserves its position
as one of the top prog rock albums.
Just because a lot of people like it and you don't, that doesn't make it over-rated.
Please let's have a ban on these "over-rated" threads.

Soime people can't forgive success, Pink Floyd created a new formula of good music with popular acceptance, and that can't be wrong.
I still the album as much as I did in the 70's.

Although no single work will ever be unaminously enjoyed by everyone,
Dark Side of the Moon is whole-heartedly beloved by millions of fans as
the quintessential masterpiece of all time (not by me personally, although
I like it). And not as a passing phase, but with duration. Since its
conception fans from different eras have cherished it, revered it, and
sworn fealty to it.
What else can you ask of an album? Seriously.
To return to my first statement, it's alright and understandable to not like
Dark Side, but that doesn't intrinsically mean it is overrated.

How can one of the best albums be over-rated?
All the big classics would be OVERRATED from that point of view. Just stupid poll.

I've got 3 copies of it and I still do think it is overrated a bit, as are CTTE and ITCOTCK. A 4* affair for me. But does my view change a thing? Nope!

Thinking it's boring does not qualify it as overrated.
In my opinion, everyone that has said that DSOTM is overrated doesn't understand it.
And therefore does not understand prog rock.
