Pink Floyd have made many great albums, but in my opinion, Dark Side of the Moon is the greatest. The tracks often blend in to one another, so it seems to be a whole album that is linked, the songs continuing on through the tracks, rather than the stop / start approach of most modern albums. There are lots of great songs on this album - in fact, I can't think of a bad track at all. Money is probably the most well known of the tracks & is often used as incidental music on TV. But my personal favourites are at the end of one side of the album - Eclipse being the best. The lyrics of this & indeed the whole album are inspired - admittedly, probably by drugs - but inspired nonetheless ! This is some of the most original & beautiful music & lyrics you will ever hear.
