Did you know on "Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Funny side note: did you know that Meter Maids were NEVER called Meter Maids until "Lovely Rita"?. The result WAS and REMAINS a landmark MASTERPIECE! The FIRST true "concept" album for sure! Of course the production, performances and COMPOSITIONS were WAY BEYOND "state of the art"! Beautiful, creative, melodic, defiant, edgy and GROUND BREAKING! How The Beatles "love to turn you on"!. Lending a unique objectivity and experimentation to their process. This, in McCartney's mind, would "free" them from any / all "molds" created by the band prior. Pepper was a McCartney concept where by The Beatles took on an alter persona. Language, fashion, artistic awareness and MUSIC ITSELF changed dramatically after it's release! Sgt. Pepper made an artistic statement in a music that was NEVER considered art before. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - The Beatles How did Roger Waters have such foresight at his young age? Strangely, I rarely listen to the whole album anymore but there are always snippets to be heard on the radio etc. No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun". I have tried to always remember the lines "Then one day you find ten years have gone behind you. As a 13 year old boy, I was blown away by the lyrics which still work today. I bought the album second hand on cassette in 1974, took it home, played it and realised that I'd heard most of it before, so widely had it been played. The themes it covers life, death, money, time, war, mental illness etc are the soundtrack to people's lives. I would even say this album is the greatest piece of music ever written.Īlthough I prefer "Wish You Were Here" mainly for the beauty of Shine on you Crazy Diamond, "Dark Side of the Moon" is definitely the most influential album I have ever heard. If you haven't listened to it, I urge you to stop everything and play it right now. It's a 45 minute trip through life, with few breaks in the music that make this feel like one huge symphony of perfection. This is simply the greatest album ever made. The solo guitar in "Time" is one of the best ever. The atmospheric music background and philosophical lyrics make it a true masterpiece. EclipseĪlways my all-time favourite album. 50 years and this album still stands the test of the time. Every track feels unique and distinct for each other. That same rule definitely applies when you listen to this masterpiece.
Life may look long on paper but goes by fast when you experience it. It has such a simple theme about life, death, war, time, and money but it's surprisingly effective in it's simple lyrics. Easily my favorite album.of all time no matter how clique it is.
