The Story of The Dark Side of The Moon by Pink Floyd | Classic Albums Review

962 weeks on the charts, the art of its iconic cover, the mysticism around it, and its soundscape akin to a dream gave Pink Floyd its artistic and commercial peak. With a focus on the elements of life, death, greed, madness, fear, and anxiety the band delivered a 44 minute journey of emotional resonance. The dark side of the moon stands in a unique place in rock history, it unites the last days of the psychedelic era and merges them with the new wave: the electronic era. It is also the perfect turning point for Pink Floyd, as it has elements of their past, their present, and their future. The album as a concept became one of the most famous albums of all time, a song of madness produced by Alan Parsons, The Dark Side of the Moon is the pinnacle of 70s studio rock, and being one of the biggest, most important and successful albums of all time.
