Our Pick of the Year: The Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd
The Dark Side of the Moon links songs about time, money, conflict and mortality into one continuous album. Studio effects, spoken voices and recurring musical ideas connect tracks such as Time, Money and Us and Them. Its clean production has made it a lasting demonstration record, but the simple themes explain why it reaches far beyond audio enthusiasts.
