Definitely one of the greatest albums I’ve heard, it’s been in my album rotation for years. I think this album perfectly encapsulates having an ‘experience’ while listening to music. The production and the transitions between songs make the album feel like one giant song with multiple climaxes, changes and breakdowns. I don’t think this album will ever get old to me.
The Dark Side of the Moon
