If you go by that reasoning then good and bad don’t exist as concepts.

It doesn't in the context of art does it, it's all subjective surely.

 

[Wyke Red]

But personally I really really like this version

My favorite version

Moral relativism alert!

Isn’t everything subjective?

I love Pink Floyd. But not Dark Side of the Moon. I still play it from time to time, but much prefer much of their other stuff.

 

[grumpyoldgit]

Entirely agree with the OP. The album is pretentious tosh.

More like bored on my break time alert!

DSOTM is one of those albums you listen to in it's entirety once and then barely listen to it all the way through again.

Same as Tubular Bells.

Medicine Head released an album called Dark Side Of The Moon about a month before the Floyd one.

It’s not as good.

Correct

Not really. Very few people listen to side two of TB more than once. However, if you don't list to DSOTM all the way through you really don't like it. Which is fair enough as we have established.

Jeff Beck is the artist I don't get. He's so highly rated as a guitarist by everybody and on the face of it should be right up my street but, and I've tried listening hoping something clicks, I just don't see/hear it

Same for me with clapton

I've tried listening the rolling stones, the smiths, new order and joy Division and although I love lots of similar bands just can't get into them. It's weird how we're wired.

I love Pink Floyd, and really like Dark Side of the Moon, for the record.

I like all of those including Floyd not overly keen on the song wish you were here as ive heard it murdered so many times at open mics

 

[Abel Tasman]

DSOTM for me is up there as one of the greatest albums of all time. Not a bad song on it

The music washes over me still after all these years. Simply a masterpiece.

 

[sadgit]

Still a fantastic band in my opinion

I was just saying to my wife about this post, she hates Pink Floyd and Fleetwood Mac. I still love wish you were here and rumours.

That was beautiful
Thank you

you were 18 in 1973 - surprised at that.

you use words of a much younger person - i should add that i hated it when i first heard it, now i think its a masterpiece and more than holds its own of its time.

i also had an epiphany with Led Zep - their albums take me over when i listen to them, i came very late to them, in my late, very late 30s.

I’ll take that as a compliment! Maybe because of the grandkids. They do tell me I’m down with the kids.

I think I've only listened to that album once, and that was when I was at Robbie's flat when I was about seventeen and we were both really stoned. It was his favourite album and he wasn't very happy when I told him that I thought that it was a load of sh*te.
