How old were you the first time you heard Dark Side of the Moon?

Question

Describe & share your experience the first time you heard this amazing album.

Answer 1

I was 14 and played it with the wizard of oz...you know get the old vhs tape(most rental places still have it) and at the third lion roar begin the album...it is an amazing experience...shivers down my spine just thinking about it!

Answer 2

I'm sure I wasn't even walking yet when I first heard it. My mom and Dad were both major fans when the album came out, and we always had music playing in our house, so Pink Floyd was a constant presence in my formative years. And Dark Side is still on my list of top ten albums.

Answer 3

I was about 13-14, and the album was a few years old. They just published Animals at that time. I thought then - and think so still - that it was too pretentios & preposterous, preaching hypocrisy (they sing against MONEY? ROFL) but I like dit musically. In fact, i saw Roger and his goons lasst year playing the whole DSOTM. I don't quite share your fasscination with it, as I know of many, many better albums (King Crimson, Peter Gabriel, etc.), but it is a good record/CD, to be sure.

Answer 4

I was 16 and I was totally awestruck !
There is no one like Pink Floyd never will be atleast for me ! Ever !

Chill Out and Have a Great Time ! You have pretty good taste Pal ! Cheers

Answer 5

I was young; my older brother played it a lot when I was young...didn't really pay attention to it. Years later, I was in high school in Denmark and we had to analyze the songs for English class, and that's when i realized the great lyrics. My brother was also very jealous that I had to do listen for class!

Answer 6

A few years ago... when I was 12 or 13 I think. Changed my life.
