What does Dark Side of the Moon mean to you?
I remember buying it unheard because I saw some article hyping it up in Circus Magazine. It wasn't one of those that you knew you loved it upon first listening. I think it took 6 or 7 times before it kicked in for me. I had the 8 track tape and played it over and over again. Some of those songs like Us and Them still move me to this day. A masterpiece for sure.

One day I will listen, for such an iconic album I'm surprised the songs are not particularly famous individually.... but I wasn't into music much in 1973.

6 or 7 times ? .. really ? .. from the first time the sound shifted from left speaker to right speaker it was OBVIOUS this was something GREAT ... the only thing that made it better was listening to it a couple years later while enjoying the enhancement qualities that had been hidden until one ingest some LSD ... :D

Well the dark side of the moon was a soundscape. I think soundscape was pretty young concept at the time.
To me this album kind of rivals either axis bold as love or electric ladyland
Its an adventure waiting to carry you away. I think it was kind of lost at the beginning until it dawned on people that rather than the traditional format of albums they were used to this one was one cohesive mind meld.
I still think its a great album.

That album is very nice on the ears. All the sounds are pleasant sounds. I liked it every time I heard it.

A lot of memories of my old druggy days to be honest. Still enjoy it clean now!

Honestly, I don't even own a copy of Dark Side anymore.
I listened to it a lot during my early high school years, mostly with my friends at the local youth center, where we played a lot of ping-pong and billiards while listening to records down in the basement of the place—an old, converted firehouse.
But other than those old memories (admittedly fond ones), it doesn't mean a whole lot anymore.

I was first introduced to this album, when I was a teenager
staying overnight at a friend's house....
we smoked a lot of pot in those days,
it was what our ilk of teenagers did.
And then there, one night after smoking a buncha pot,
they practically broke out 'dark side of the moon' saying
'this is the pot album'.... I don't know if that's verbatim,
it's been a long time since I was 14, I'm 56 now, do the math,
I can't be bothered with it.
Anyway, hearing it, stoned off my kazoo,
oh yeah, it was the pot album alright,
worked real well with pot.
Not sure how long it would hold my interest now,
I've been clean and sober like four months or something.
Being straight has its merits, I can see why some people do it.

I can see how Dark Side is THE Pink Floyd album for a lot of people. It was their breakthrough hit album. It was "commercial." It sold. Hugely. And it was probably the first time a lot of people even heard Pink Floyd. I compare it to Rumours by Fleetwood Mac, in that way. Rumours was their first major commercial success. And, like with Pink Floyd, I had been listening to them for years before that came out. I started listening to both of those bands in the 60's.

continuing and wrapping up, since I did make the comparison...
Dark Side was a great album, and I was glad to see them get their success for that one. And I thought Rumours was pure swill compared to their older stuff.

Great album and I really dug it back in the day. I never really knew what it meant and I really didn't care. I was smoked out, Heroine hooked and acid laced up. All I knew was that it sounded good and trying to play it on my axe was fun. Haven't listened to it in many years now. I do wonder what I would think about it now that I am pretty clean compared to the old days.

I love Pink Floyd and Dark Side of the Moon is a great albumn. What's interesting for me about the "Dark Side" of the moon is the fact that the moon's "Face" is "always" facing the earth. As the moon goes round and round it is unwaveringly, "staring" at the earth...making the true "Dark" side of the moon it's "Back" side, which is always hidden from earth's view(and obviously not always "dark"). And then there's the fact that our moon's path is "non-eliptical", meaning that it is "Circular" and "Round". And while science cannot yet explain how these two "anomalies", so balanced, so unwavering, could have "naturally" occured... there are FOOLS who have plans in the works to mine the moon for its helium. Helium??? NO!!! This is ONLY being done for some... (play song now) "MONEY"!!!...(music)dom-dom-dom da-dah-dom...IT'S A CRIME!!!
