Track to skip: not a second
Honestly, who cares if this thing is overplayed and overhyped and overpraised? It’s all justified! I totally get shivers every time I play this. I mean, Claire Torry’s vocals on Great Gig are totally shiver-inducing. There is not a bad second on this album, one of the few that are just about perfect. The only thing that is weaker than the rest is Money, my least favorite track on here. It’s not bad at all (I love hearing songs in 7/8 on the radio!), but not the best. However, it’s a nice break from the huge-ness of the rest of the songs. There isn’t much to say about Dark Side of the Moon except, “Why don’t you own this yet?!?!?!”
