10 Perfect 1970s Rock Albums With No Bad Songs
1. Dark Side Of The Moon - Pink Floyd
At the beginning of the '70s, Pink Floyd were just starting to metamorphose into the band that we know them as today. After going through the trouble of losing founding member Syd Barrett, the song Echoes off of their album Meddle showed that there was much more to this band than just a bunch of trippy psychedelics from time to time. These were musicians capable of taking you on a journey, and we found out just how vast that journey can be on Dark Side of the Moon.
Instead of just your typical collection of songs, this entire 10 track album feels like a meditation on everything that life has to offer. From the minute the heartbeat begins on the first track, you're thrown into the world of the Floyd, as they start to make points on everything from how you waste away your life on Time to the human thirst for greed on Money.
No matter how good the lyrics are, the music has to hold up at the end of the day, and these are some of the greatest instrumentals the rock world could have hoped for, from the meditative state of Us and Them to the vocal ad libs of Clare Torry on the Great Gig in the Sky. Even though the actual sounds might feel robotic at times, this cautionary advice about how you live your life makes for one of the most humane albums ever recorded.
