Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon (1973)
1973...whaaaaat?!
Some explanation might be in order for some who don't know me. I have been known, from time to time, to engage in various "listening series" where I methodically and laboriously go through various album themes, series, or lists that guide my listening choices. While many might think me mad, to quote the bard, in my madness there is method, as I often appreciate the perspective (e.g. historical) that it frames the music for me personally. So since October (gack...has it been since October), I've been going chronologically through Acclaimed Music's top 3000 albums starting with some 1940s and 50s discs and moving slowly forward. At times, for example during quite influential musical years there can be a number of albums in that year (1971 for example had 78 albums) so when I reach a new year (like now!) there is much rejoicing. So far, I've listening to 760 albums on the list. Of course, there's other albums I spin too both randomly chosen and from other series (e.g. the 6000 song series from the other thread), but this definitely has been my labor of love over the past 7 months
