Sometimes I don't pick it up for two or three years straight, but then I get a hankering, and I play it nonstop for a week or two, then put it away until the next time. I never cease to be astonished at just how well the music holds up. Remarkable musicianship throughout... I always come back to Dark Side – always.

I was 16 when this disk was released. We listened and discussed it while stoned, and loved it. We played with it, including synchronization with The Wizard of Oz (start it as the Lion roars), and ran it in phased with video of a dancer looped through a monitor. As we aged we listened to the words and finally got the meaning. There is no more sexually and spiritually haunting a song as "The Great Gig in the Sky". My kids, born in the 80's, are indoctrinated to its goodness, they own their own copy. I suspect every generation that appreciates music as art has and will come to embrace it. "the album has become a part of modern Western consciousness", trite but true. It is timeless. Great post, insightful and thorough. You cheered up my rainy Boston Saturday. So true, so true.
