I love your shout out to Alan Parsons. His impact on music throughout the late 70s into the 80s and 90s is astonishing. I'm a big admirer and seriously love the Project. Any of that music is a lights off, headphones on and eyes closed listen for me! Nearly at 1k subs Michael. That's frickin' great (is that what you Americans say?) :)
Thanx, Tudor! I was sold on The Alan Parson’s Project when I was turned on to I Robot. I was already a huge Asimov fan, so it was a no brainer to give that album a listen! I was absolutely astonished! Using the ‘Robot’ on that album to show us a little bit about ourselves as listeners was brilliant! Thanx, for your input Tudor! I love doing these videos, and I always feel that you too actually love what you do on your excellent channel! I love the whole creation process whether it’s writing, recording, or producing a video! And I always feel that you do too!
@@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine I Robot. That was my first album of the Project too. It was recommended to my by a Canadian friend. He said I’d love it. He was right. The actual I Robot instrumental is an Opus of listening. I’m going to listen to it again now. 🎧
There's a fantastic video on Amazon right now about the making of Darkside... Lot of interviews with Parsons in it. It really is an amazing story and well worth the watch for any Floyd / Parsons fans. Great story about the Gig in the Sky! and how it almost had lyrics.
Met Parsons quite briefly at a CES dinner for DTS back in 2015 when I was writing for a high-end audio website. Very nice and gracious man. Mentioned how much I enjoyed his outstanding production work with Al Stewart and he seemed very genuinely appreciative that I knew it all very well. He's a freaking giant! I'm over six feet tall and he towered over me. Taller than the late, great Chris Squire.
The people at Rolling Stone must have been smoking something really potent to put this album at 35 of all time! This album is easily in my top 5, no questions asked. Can’t wait for part 2!
It’s coming, MD! When they went corporate, I think they quit smoking anything beyond a Cigg! I think that was their whole problem! If they had just relaxed and LISTENED!👌😉
Thanks for the shout out Michael. Geoff is one of my very first subscribers. He only communicates with me via my private email. He's a Chief in the Navy, so he's deployed abroad most of the year. I'll be sure to pass on your thanks. Peace
@@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine I started watching Wayne when he first started his channel, before he ever had heard most of the LZ catalog. Watching him take the full Zep journey - from entire album reviews to entire live show breakdowns, was a ton of fun. I now consider him to be a virtual LZ expert....along with all the other great artists he's reacted to. He's very thoughtful, and deliberate. You are similar in that you put your whole self into your reactions, and give great insight. Of course you've lived this music for decades, and you are an artist in your own right, whereas Wayne is a newbie....so its great to hear both perspectives. Look forward to all your posts, Michael - enjoy the weekend.
I was aware of PF's Interstallar Overdrive, Bike, Echoes and many other tunes; but, I really focused on the band with the DSOTM LP. They quickly became my favorite all time band. The album is historically significant in so many respects.
Just subscribed. Love your videos. I've heard these albums so many times the thrill isn't there any more but your enthusiastic delivery and incite is enjoyable and makes me want to relisten to all of the classics. Can't wait to see you review the other classic albums from the late 60s early seventies. A salty dog is one of those lost classics it would be interesting to see you review. I get that Bob Ross soothing vibe from your communication
Congrats on the channel growth Michael! You’ve been establishing a great body of work here and this video illustrates it. While one would think there is nothing more to be said about this album, you go and put your authoritative stamp on it with great research and personal insight. You’ve got a tremendous thing going with this channel. You’ll be hitting 1000 subs in no time, but I foresee much, much greater growth beyond that. It’s going to become THE go-to for many fans of this beloved genre. Thank you for continuing to fly the banner for the greatest music ever created. Can’t wait till part II. 🐖
Thanx Bruce! Your words really mean a lot to me! You, Tudor, & Royce are all people that I have a huge amount of respect for! Each of you have a wonderful approach unique to each of your channels! 👌👍❤️
Thank you for that great review! I've always been amazed at how much sound/emotion Pink Floyd can wring out if so few notes; the intro to Time being a perfect example. I'm sure it's never been measured, but I'm willing to bet that if you analysed albums sold per note played, Dark Side of the Moon would by #1 by a landslide.
Absolutely, Charles! And yet it sounds like it’s full of complication! A wonderful, almost magical illusion! No wonder they billed themselves as ‘The Last Wizards of Rock’! I’d agree with that! With of course Jimi Page as ‘The Wizard’ & The Beatles as The Original Wizards of rock! Whatcha think, Charles?😉
@@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine Pink Floyd were definitely wizards. And not only made mesmerizing music, they pushed rock into a realm it had never been before.
Hi Michael, Helene here! Thanks so much for the shout out! 😁 and You might want to give a big shout out to Geoff as well! He’s the one who sent your vid over to Wayne! I don’t know as I’ve honed in on any comments of his on your channel yet, but he must be a sub of both you and Wayne….. and ironically enough , Geoff is NOT my hubby Geof. Just coincidence.
Helene you are so much more than welcome! And I agree regarding the mysterious Geoff! I did a search, and the only Geoff that came up in my list was your terrific hubby! did do a shout out to him, but that portion of the video’s sound was trash! I’ll be sure to mention him in my next shout-Out! Didja hear that Geoff? THANK YOU!👌😉❤️👍✌️YOU ROCK!😎
round about 70 i heard for the first time jimmy page do Since iv,e been loving you .Then in 73 i heard gilmore on Time, to this day i still get goosebumps whenever i hear those two tracks , the tone ,Jesus , anyway great vid Mike , cant wait for you to do the Wall , blew me away first time i heard that .
Yep! You I know Royce I actually remember it being a decent rag! But right around Lennon’s interview and maybe a bit before that even, Yawn took over! Heil Yawn! Nice mustache!😉👌
Actually, DSOTM is 55 on the current 2020 list, not 35. But they include all genres of popular music. I do not personally listen to rap, but, okay, I get that other people do. But how could anyone rationally rank albums of such diverse genres? Like, they list albums by Nas, Amy Winehouse, Beyonce, Wu-Tang Clan and Marvin Gaye higher than DSOTM. I will assume that all those albums are good albums to those that enjoy those genres, but, how could you say which of those are better or worse on the same ranking?
That’s an interesting idea about DSOTM sort of sucking up all the oxygen in the room when it came out, and perhaps depressing sales of excellent albums by other major bands, like Zep. Although, I’ve always thought that HOTH suffered just from the fact of following the monster that was Zeppelin IV. Wish you were Here has a similar experience following Dark Side. My sentimental favorite PF album though has always been, and still remains, Meddle. Just too many amazing nights of a dark room, floor pillows, black lights, a hookah in the middle, amazing speakers up on the four corners of the ceiling, and good friends……and Echoes. 😁✌️
ECHOES! The very first song by PF that I literally fell in love with! Wow, Helene! Are you sure we didn’t bump into one another back in the day? Your description of Hookah, Floor pillows, black lights, with a quad system (or at least an amazing stereo system with 2 speakers hooked up in tandem) sounds so damned familiar! I’ve been there, sister! So many, many wonderful times! And of course, not just with a Hookah smoking catipillar! He was smoking the light stuff!😉
@@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine LOL. It was ALL light stuff compared to what they’ve got now. No more passing the joint around…two tokes and you’re toast. Like doing shots instead of sipping wine. Well, if you were ever in Seattle around 1972, I suppose you could have crashed one of our parties! 😘✌️🤗. But I think you’re a bit younger than I.
We don't get too worried about anything Rolling Stone have to say on anything. Somehow they became the famous publication about popular music and they've been pooping their pants ever since. Gems like "Abbey Road - not a great Beatles Album." Yes Dark Side at 35 is to be worn as a badge of honour! Great channel Michael, I'm in!
Exactly, VP! Can you even imagine anyone downgrading Abbey Road? But Jann Wenner and his ilk would dare blasphemy just to ilk out a few sales for their rag! Thanx!😉👌
Well, “Dark Side of the Moon” is just one of the all time greatest LPs!!! I’ll never forget watching the Wizard of Oz & Dark Side of Moon together!!! What a trip!!! Haha!!! Rock On 🤘 & ✌️
@@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine the rumor was back in day that Pink Floyd wrote Dark Side of the Moon while watching The Wizard of Oz!!! Now that’s crazy!!! Haha!!! Anyway it’s pretty cool synced up together!!!
This album came to me on mixtape from a friend of a friend when I was still in middle school, about to transfer to high school; 1989, the end of my metal head years when I discovered the bands who influenced the metalheads. The Wall was on the other tape this person passed on to me. Walkman, walking in the morning dark I hear these alien tones inspiring my young musician senses. This approach to making albums informs all the things Cafe Cedarbeard, as Ascension Conspiracy music under that umbrella has made since 2006 when I started recording the things I now have on the internet. I always loved the trippy interludes in metal songs. Then this wave of musics hit me, just as David Gilmour's Floyd was cooking up the Thunder, and exploded on MTV. I'm young Gen X, discovered MTV when my grandparents got cable, 1983 when I was 9. It was pretty safe pop structures until later, when Headbangers Ball exposed me to Iron Maiden in the peak of their 80's wave when they played the whole concert video from Live After Death. Anyway, back to the Dark Side; this album sang to me deep in my middle teen years, alongside heavier musics like Queensryche, Dream Theater, and all the progressive bands. The way one song flows into another, and builds a wave, a theme, a story, a process beyond the 3 minute squeak informs everything I've ever recorded.
Sure, the Sun is eclipsed by the Moon; the Wise avoid madness during eclipses by knowing in their hearts that the Sun still shines even though we can't currently see it. Also, all shadows pass in the flow of the things.
Man you hit a chord in my memory with this one...one more thought; the resonance of Pink Floyd after Syd has the influence of Rock through the records they heard in their youth, blended with Church of England hymns, the English church music meeting the Black American church musics that birthed Rock. I dig it. Brian Eno I think had one of those synths. I think it influenced how he sings. Church hymns also influenced him. I dig the drone and hum. If only Syd had known the concept 'micro dose'. Happy hunting. I dig your vids.
Welcome nosivadbor! Soul Train Bro is a class act! And the man has such a way with his whole honest approach with his videos! He did me a solid, that I’ll never forget!👌
No computers. Roger, Dave, Rick and Nick had to think it up and PLAY every bit of it. Only Chris T and Alan P were there to help them make it come into being.
Dark Side of the Moon. Is an experience like Led Zeppelin 4th album. You start at the start. And you end at the end. At that point you know you’re in the presence of professional genius.
"DSOTM ... best album.." I agree! PF did go on to make more great music and albums but DSOTM is the best! It's one of those hat the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts...
'Animals' would have sounded very different if it ever happened at all and 'The Wall' almost certainly wouldn't have happened had the band kept writing as a team rather than leaving everything to Waters.
@@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine I used to have Wright's first solo album 'Wet Dream' but it is so long since I heard it I can't even tell you if it was good, bad or indifferent. Sadly gotten rid of during the great vinyl purge of unemployment in my 20s.
My favorit album of all time even better than Led Zeppelin 4 but i always say this 2 are my favorit i cant chose one of another that is like a The Godfather and The Godfather Part 2 😂
Top 3 of all time albums. The masterful flow of the whole album, the production, the techniques, the experimentation, the sheer beauty of every track. It is not an album, it's one long amazing musical journey, something nobody these days could ever do. Led Zep are levels below, good musicians but got their idea's by stealing from others.
As all truly great artists are at least a little bit guilty of, Nik! It depends on what you do with it! Make it yours, or sound like everyone else! They didn’t sound like anything that came before!😉👌🤙
I am NOT preaching! It is true that Sid Barrett was suffering from a mental illness, unknowingly he was a schizophrenic. Unfortunately, he lived in a time when mental illnesses were basically ignored and commonly viewed as a simple personality disorders. To add fuel to the fire of his illness, Sid also took many doses of LSD which eventually pushed him to the point of no return. Too many times I hear people claim to be "self-medicating" but aren't anything close to being medically qualified. Again, NOT preaching! Just a word of caution is all. Be careful.
Here is some rolling stone info. They hate prog rock, arena rock , hair metal and hard rock,. They are so disingenuous, that when they reviewed an album from those genres, they'd bash the shit out of it. At the end of the year when the album became extremely popular and big selling, they'd print a new "review". and it would be more favorable. First time I saw then do that was Van halen/1984. "Beating a dead horse". Then late 84 "One -two punch of hard rock!" These pricks founded RRHOIF, which is why many classic acts aren't in there yet. RS is just color toilet paper.

I don't read RS for the same reason I don't drink from the toilet.
Rolling Stone ranks albums based on current politics and who their boss is friends with.
Nope those rednecks were not smoking any weed because they'd know this album is a head doer on pot or LSD. Follow the yellow brick road.

Rolling stone magazine and the rock n roll hall of fame = 2 jokes
I always find it odd when anyone rates this LP higher than the vastly superior Wish You Were Here. Good review, though.
Simple review opener: You know all the high quality production dynamics, fidelity and talent missing in today's music? It's here in DSOTM.
No computers. Roger, Dave, Rick and Nick had to think it up and PLAY every bit of it. Only Chris T and Alan P were there to help them make it come into being.
Most of this album, was recorded during Obscurred By Clouds.
I didn't know that Syd Barrett was completely lost on Dark Side of the Moon. I thought it was a lot sooner.
Syd flipped completely in '68-69 and Dave replaced him.
Well, to me the sound effects are either too long or too loud. If I have the music as loud as I want it, the clocks are way too loud.
Dark Side of the Moon. Is an experience like Led Zeppelin 4th album. You start at the start. And you end at the end. At that point you know you’re in the presence of professional genius.
Now you've gotta show us a photograph of yourself at that age: 15, 16, 17.
