The final touches and refinements were put on Use and Them, Brain Damage and Money to complete the best album ever recorded. A album that has thrived in time, no pun intended, and is still relevant today.
It makes you wonder when these artist complete these projects and send them to the press, do they ever really know what they have done
43 mins of perfection
1. "Speak to Me" Nick Mason instrumental 1:05
2. "Breathe" (In the Air) Richard Wright David Gilmour 2:49
3. "On the Run" Waters Gilmour instrumental 3:45
4. "Time" Waters Gilmour Wright Mason Gilmour Wright 6:53
5. "The Great Gig in the Sky" Wright Clare Torry[nb 12] Torry 4:43
Total length: 19:15
Side two
6. "Money" Waters Gilmour 6:22
7. "Us and Them" Wright Gilmour 7:49
8. "Any Colour You Like" Gilmour Mason Wright instrumental 3:26
9. "Brain Damage" Waters Waters 3:46
10. "Eclipse" Waters Waters 2:12
42:50

it really is crazy. It's a rite of passage that almost every high schooler or college aged kid will at some point during that 8 year span of their lives either hear dark side, hear others talk about dark side, buy dark side, or some combination of all. Basically, it would be nearly impossible for someone in the mid 20s to say they had never heard this album.
I honestly can't think of any other album you can say that about. And as you said, it's timeless. 50 years from now the youth will still be seeking out this album.

I see the Pickleback fans are downvoting you.

Meh. Was just never able to get into them. Sure, Brain Damage is a great song as well as a few scattered others. But have never understood the over-the-top hype.

I'll be the wet blanket.
Maybe if you're a middle class white boy into music. I can guarantee you that if you cast a larger demographic net in that age group, there would more no's than you think.
Thriller
Nope. They rarely do it now unless they are seeking the rock genre. 30 and under really don't listen to rock. They may only recognize it from Urban Outfitter's clothes. It's sad but in my interactions with that group, this is what I've experienced.

yea, not so concerned about that. The album wrote a message and did things that no other album has. It hits a lot of different genre's and plays to a lot of fans.
In my opinion, it is timeless
But it's not for everyone I am sure

I love DSotM but I don’t think you are wrong with what you are saying. Hopefully people will seek this album out but the truth is, unless something culturally important happens relating to it, (Master of Puppets in Stranger Things etc) it’s less likely to happen as time goes on. I see so many vids on YT so a young person hearing some classic song that I think is essential to life for the first time. Sad that’s what happens but it is the nature of things. Just like a lot of 80s rock music fans have never heard Birth Of The Cool or Shostakovich’s 5th.
Thriller is likely to be more relevant because it does cross racial and cultural boundaries.

I think it’s sweet that they were so inclusive back then when they used the lgbt flag as part of the album cover design

I'm interested in Syd Barrett's demise and I understand that's somehow integrated in there as well?

Honestly, I am one of the pure blood Pink FLoyd fans that think Sids departure is probably the best thing that ever happened to them. They would have never achieved the true success or the amount of success had David Gilmour never joined the band. Sid was a master and responsible for the bands beginning but in the end, he was not going to ever bring the band to a place that David and Rodger did
So many Floyd fans disagree but he was not made for stardom and what happened, happened
The length of consecutive weeks on the charts will probably never be beaten. And as far as album sales, can you actually compare "sales" today to those 40-50years ago. There is so much access to music these days, there are no secrets and no driving to the store 5 times before a album was in stock
Its just different and the fact that no album has the sustainability, even with all the digital help, as DSOtM, somewhat proves that its 950 or so consecutive weeks will never be broken

Parsons was instrumental in producing and mixing the tracks. I was a big fan of his then as well. A turn of a Friendly Card was one of my first CD's I ever purchased.

Did Lennon or any of the Beatles ever register an opinion on Pink Floyd?

The psychedelic 60s stuff was a little different but some of it was still very good. I'm a much bigger fan of the 70s and on stuff. Obscured by clouds and Meddle are fantastic albums and have some amazing tracks on them. Both were pre-dark side of the Moon and in my opinion, documented the transition from the psychedelic 60s to the dark side of the Moon era.

Lennon never thought much about them. Pink Floyd was trying their best to meet the Beatles during their recording of Sgt Pepper's because Floyd were recording their first album a few studios down from The Beatles at EMI, but only were allowed into the studio by George Martin while John, Paul and George Martin were mixing Lovely Rita.
Waters later said he only met Lennon once and they were "snotty" to one another.
I do know Paul hung with Gilmore quite a bit during the mid 70s through "Give My Regards to Broad Street", but also later had a falling out prompting Gilmore to publicly state that he wouldn't work with him again.

Alan Parsons deserves a lot of credit. Dude is a genious.

I Robot by The Alan Parsons Project is a great album.

I’ve never seen Gilmour described as an arse. Waters yes.
