So I was curious as to how often people still listen to albums in their entirety. So over the next little while I will post polls of different albums to see how the graph plays out. I have 5 in mind for sure, but if you're really curious about a particular album let me know and I may add it to my list. First up, Pink Floyd Dark Side Of The Moon ------------- Thank you for supporting independently produced music |

I am more of an album person than an individual song person, so I will almost always listen to an entire album. I listened to DSotM a couple of months ago in memorial of a good friend who passed away. He told me one of my favorite Pink Floyd stories. He was a student in Virginia and had been a PF fan since day one. They were appearing in Washington D.C. so he and a couple of buddies bought tickets. Between that time and the show, DSotM had been released and was an instant success. Thousands of people were outside the venue, which was relatively small since there were not so big of a band yet, but could not get in. The band played most of the album at the show, which was fantastic by all accounts. But my friend had the tix and he saw the show. Here's to absent friends. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

The last time I played DSOT in it's entirety was when I was driving down to see Roger Waters in Philadelphia in 2017 so five years ago. He's playing again in August but I won't be going unless someone on here has tickets and wants to hang out and not smoke some weed and listen to some tunes on the way down. Lol.

| Last I heard Dark Side in its entirety was probably 30 years ago. Played it to death in the 70's don't need to hear it again. Too much current music to experience. |

In the last 6 months. The Final Cut is One of the Few albums I've given away but I bought the album again recently, which prompted me to listen to my entire Pink Floyd CD collection again.

It may be over 30 years for me. I commonly liked to skip "Money" even when I was a quite avid listener to it as a teenager. ------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before.

"Avoid listener". I liked that! Especially in this context.  Yet, I've avoided PF all my life.

^ Haha, just a typo. For years I would have called Pink Floyd my favourite band. I am most into the pre-Dark Side of the Moon period, however. ------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before.

^ Surely a typo.  I was just kidding, or I'm your nemesis who is lurking to find your mistakes! It is either.  PF is a deep ocean. I listened to a good half of their songs, as I can guess. Just, not my cup of tea, musically. I simply adore High Hopes, though. |

Good thing I'm not the paranoid type (wonders will Paul now post a Black Sabbath song).. High Hopes is attractive, but a bit too slick and AORish for my tastes. This is more my Pink Floyd cup of tea (the Embryo). ------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before.

| 6 months, since I’ve had a lot of other albums I also wanted to listen to. |

I most always listen to CDs all the way thru. DSOTM always gets attention. It may be the original, from the Experience Edition live album, or Pulse. It is my fav all-time album. Maybe a month or two between listens

I know this album very well as almost all of us. I don't have much free time to listen to albums like this. I spend almost all my free time reviewing and listening albums I don't know or I don't know well with the inttention to review them.

More than 5 years but less than 10 for the full album. I used to be whole albums only, but nowadays much less so with digital and streaming. Maybe in the past I couldn't be bothered with changing a CD or flipping album (so maybe listened to whole sides with vinyl, not albums ).

This week. I listened to Dark Side of the Moon and Animals on Monday. But I hadn't listened to either for about a year before that. ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

| I last listened to it on a train IIRC, somewhere between 1 and 2 years ago I think. DSOTM is definitely music that's better enjoyed as the entire album as opposed to just separate songs. |

My wife and I recently (re)watched a Pink Floyd documentary on Amazon Prime about the making of DSOTM, and it had so many snippets of the album that I just had to listen to it in it's entirety, start to finish. But prior to that, it's been a couple of years. It's one of the few albums that I HAVE to listen to in it's entirety because of how the tracks flow together. |

For me, it was last month. I still prefer the band's other 70s classics, but DSOTM is still fantastic  ------------- Take me down, to the underground Won't you take me down, to the underground Why oh why, there is no light And if I can't sleep, can you hold my life https://www.youtube.com/@CocoonMasterBrendan-wh3sd |

| DSOM was not in my record collection because everybody had it and played it constantly. I preferred Ummagumma and Saucerful of Secrets; and after seeing them in the Pompei movie working in the studio making the album I felt they were not playing as a band . The whole process seemed stagnant and piecemeal. (yet ,this is how I make my own music today-in somewhat similar fashion.) Saw them live before it came out and they performed the whole thing. I was amazed! I had to change my attitude toward studio work. I own several versions of it now. |

Sounds like a good night to me! Actually, listen to the Mason and Wright parts the most.
