On High-School, when I was interested about getting into Floyd, a friend lent me some tapes with music from them... one of the was Dark Side, if I remember well. Actually, I wasn't so impressed... well, most of Pink Floyd took me some time to getting into it... though once I got into them, they became my favourite band. However, Dark Side has never become my favourite from them... I do apreciate it much better than at the beginning, but I like WYWH, Animals, and even Division Bell much more.

I was 15-16 years old, attending Spanish Springs High School in Sparks, Nevada. I was in awe of Rick's writing for and playing on "The Great Gig In The Sky" and Dave's solo on "Time", and I found something profound about the obvious like "Why should I be frightened of dying? There is no reason for it. You gotta go some time." That dynamic peak on "Speak To Me/Breathe" felt like a wash of a wave.
I still can't get into some of the tracks on that album. It's those three that blew me away at the time.

I heard bits and pieces of it in school and radio at that time and wanted more of it. I traded a 3 Dog Night "8-track" tape for DSOTM with a buddy of mine who did not like it. I listened to it in its entirety for the first time in my room on a pair of the old Koss Pro 4AA headphone cans, I was blown away!
Best trade I ever made....

Ummm...maybe that is because DSotM was the album released just before WYWH? It's just a guess.

I'm dating myself, but I was a high school sophomore when Dark Side' first came out and heard it around that time at a weekend party in an exclusive neighborhood of east San Diego county (I myself was from down by the tracks). The hostess put it on and let both sides play, and it was pretty much background music for a bunch of kids swilling beer. I sat across the living room on the floor next to one of the speakers and took it all in, knowing that what I was hearing sounded like an instant classic. Was listening to a couple of its tracks just last night off of Echoes.

A good trade for sure.....Mine were also Koss, but don't remember the model. They were beige in color with either a black or brown coil cable. The plastic ear covers would stick to your skin with a bit of sweat......talk about suction cups

^ Mine were like olive color with a thick black coiled cable. The ear pads were liquid filled if I remember correct, yeah they would leave a ring around the ear when you took them off
To be honest I only remembered the Koss Pro 4 something or other and had google the rest of model number  .
By the way, really enjoying my Audio Technica headphones that you and others helped me decide on a few months ago in another thread. One of the first things I listened to on them was DSOTM!

Long live Google searching!!
Super glad you are enjoying the AT headphones....Audio Technica has always been for me excellent value for your money. Their phono cartridges for example perform well above price point...
