Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of the Moon

Hands down my favorite album of all time! I know Im commenting the entire album, but continuously played the whole disc is one long song. I love the fact that it's about life and death, from birth to death, and the basic human needs and emotions in between. A masterpiece IMO and Ive yet to hear anything that deep and real that moves me as much as Dark Side of the Moon does.

 

Isnt this the guy who got ripped on for his shitty guitar "thrashing" in some other thread?

 

today its been:

Syd Barrett ~ Gigolo Aunt
Syd Barrett ~ Octopus
Syd Barrett/Pink Floyd ~ The Gnome
The Beach Boys ~ California Girls
The Beatles ~ Across the Universe
The Beatles ~ Dig a Pony
The Beatles ~ Don't Let Me Down
The Mothers of Invention ~ Wowie Zowie

 

in reply to Kif's post

Yeah I think so...

he seems to have an obsession for homophobia... which normally means that he is a homosexual in denial.

 

yeah.

 

Thats pretty funny, in a sad way. But anyhoo.

Some favorite individual songs of mine:
Led Zeppelin - Dazed and Confused
Aerosmith - Sweet Emotion
Jimi Hendrix - Wind Cried Mary
The Doors - The End
David Bowie - The Man Who Sold the World

 

1. rolling stones-gimme shelter
2. led zeppelin-stairway to heaven
3. john lennon-imagine
4. bob dylan-blowin in the wind
5. the clash-guns of brixton

 

one may only hope... and as far as my favourites... i dont listen to classic rock, even if the music was made in, say, 1937, its still very relavent...

 

1. John Lennon-Whatever gets you through the night
2. Dire straits-Walk of life
3. Let's get rocked-Def Leppard
