Squishy 1,149 Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 I was 18 when this album came out, a year out of high school. I can remember sitting around stoned immaculate with friends with the lights off listening to this. It's been remastered for the 40th Anniversary of it's release and available on Amazon in MP3 format for $2.99. Good memories...(to the extent I can remember...) http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005NPCUC8 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm affraid I would have to eat 3 muscle relaxers and at least two vicodin just to stay upright in a seat long enough to make it through the planetariums most excelent experience though, time hasen't been so kind to this body I do still like the music.

gunfun 3,931 Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 I make a point of listening to "Time" every year on my birthday. Dark Side is some music my dad and I can agree on. Not too big on that lady someone is torturing through a track or two though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mitch535 29 Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 I love the album. I am also an 80s kid, and recently ran into an 8bit remastered version of the full album. Youtube 8bit Dark Side of the Moon and have your mind blown. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

frz1197 128 Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 Is that one constant mp3 of the record? If so I may have to get it to help make it easier to match up with the wizard of Oz. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Remek 771 Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 Dark Side of the Moon is wonderful. For that matter, all of Pink Floyd is amazing! I put it all on a memory stick and can stick in any computer or even in my truck, and I listen to it all the time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mostholycerebus 415 Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 I hear if you play it when the new Oz blue ray starts, the movie is even better. Maybe just because yer playing Pink Floyd though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Voltia 375 Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 While I do think the band is probably the best rock band yet, I tend to disagree with fans on two things. It's not better stoned, and Dark Side is not their best album. I do like the post Waters Division Bell and A Momentary Lapse of Reason, but my favorite stuff is the Wall and the Final Cut. That latter album has great stuff that no one has heard of; it's kind of sad. I did go see Waters on the 30th Wall tour in Columbus a couple years back. It was a great show, and Waters is a good as he's ever been. The new technology really helped the show as well. About my only criticism is the guy they had doing Gilmore's job could play like him very well, but his singing was not as good. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Remek 771 Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 ^^^. I agree with you on one thing, the Wall is my favorite album. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rhodes1968 1,638 Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 For pure beauty Dark Side is unmatched. And it like sex it is much better stoned Wish You Were Here is more cynical and The Wall more political for just enjoyment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Odd Man Out 1,283 Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 Wish you were here is much more from the heart -- reference Syd Barret I have been a fan since Piper At The Gates of Dawn. My favorite albums are Atom Heart Mother, Wish You Were Here and The Final Cut. The Wall was much too commercial but there are a few cuts that stand out (DUH -- it is Pink Floyd...). Outstanding tracks = Too many to mention but "Watch Out For That Axe Eugene" and "Several Species Of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together In A Cave And Groovin With A Pict" are a few I remember listening to and enjoying in an altered state decades ago....

thebuns1 4,323 Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 Im not too into Floyd, but they do have talent. I cant deny that. They do have a few songs I like, but thats about it for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
termite 463 Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 If ya'll wanna see a Pink Floyd collection, the wife has EVERY damn thing they ever did. We got cd's laying in places I didn't know was there, and if you forget the lyrics to one of the songs, just ask her, she'll tell you. I think the last time they where here, may have been either the Pulse concert tour or Division Bell, I can't remember, although I didn't wake up to go to work after the concert until 1:00 the next day. I may have been a little trashed, I called in to say I "over slept", my boss said screw it, we'll just dock your pay, no using a sick day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
evlblkwpnz 3,418 Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 I love some Floyd, but really love it remixed or in a mash-up. Blake Jerrel did an incredible mash of "Comfortably Numb" on ASOT 400 in 2009. I've been a fan of Floyd and electronic music for most of my life. I used to listen to Kraftwerk with my Dad way back in the early '80s, for some perspective. "Comfortably Numb" has always been my favorite, with "Run like Hell" coming in at a very close second. I was going to see them in the early '90s and my bitch girlfriend threw a fit, so I didn't go. Shortly after that, they announced that it would be their last tour. Same shit happened with Nirvana except Cobain lost his gray matter in a bungalow. I was pissed and help a deep hatred for her from then on. I wasn't the man I am now. These days I would have told her to make sure she and all of her shit is gone when I get back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
