10 Rock Albums That You MUST Listen To In Full
1. Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd
When putting together an album, you normally try to have a good flow to everything so that each track compliments each other. As opposed to just putting a slapdash collection of singles out, the best albums manage to take you on a journey through the pure expression of sound. Or in Pink Floyd's case, alert you to the life that's going on right in front of you.
Compared to every other album that's on this list, The Dark Side of the Moon is something that deserves to be played from top to bottom no matter what situation you're in. In under an hour, each of these tracks speak to one another as different meditations on life, starting with the meaninglessness of rushing through your day just to start over on Breathe. From there, we're taken on a thrill ride through every inescapable aspect of life, whether it be the race to catch up on Time or the rampant consumerism that we all find ourselves under on Money.
In the end though, Floyd don't really have the answers to all these questions, instead deciding to leave it up to the listener to determine how they would want to live their life going forward. No matter what kind of rock music you're into, not many albums are able to make you cling to your own humanity quite like this one.
