Album Of The Day: The Dark Side Of The Moon by Pink Floyd

Album Art of Pink Floyd's The Dark Side Of The Moon album - Most of it is a black background. In the middle, is a black triangle with an inner glow coming from the edges. On the left side, a thin line of white cuts through the black. Inside the triangle, the white spreads out to be about 10x wider on the right side. And once it hits the edge of the triange, it's now larger lines of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple.

I'll admit, I've not listened to all the classics in modern music. About 20 years ago, I think I first heard a reggae cover of this album called Dub Side Of The Moon with a friend before I heard this album. But I found the cover album so interesting, I had to hear the original, so I bought a CD of Pink Floyd's album shortly thereafter. Released on this day 52 years ago, this is one of the most well-known albums from a legendary English rock band, Pink Floyd. Many of the songs such as "Time" and "Money" talk about universal themes and sound like pretty standard rock music. Other tracks, like the opening parts of "Speak To Me/Breathe" and "On The Run", are more experimental, more instrumental and using synthesizers and other things not-so-standard for rock bands to use. The band even performed the whole album on tour before the album came out. This album is definitely a part of rock music history, and is designed to be listened to the whole way through as the songs work really well together.
