Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon.

Brilliant album, and in 5.1, it's trippy as anything I've ever heard...

But has anyone heard "Dub Side of the Moon," the rather cheeky Reggae cover-album?

It shouldn't work, but it does work, and I mean really well.

If you've heard "Dark Side..." I strongly recommend checking out "Dub Side..."

No! All attempts to better/cover Pink Floyd should be shot down in flames! That includes the Scissor Sisters!

"For long you live and high you fly
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be"

Nope, we PHers do give a sh*t.

Still like Wish you were here by Wyclef Jean.

'Then 10 years have got behind you. No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun'

The most powerful line in any song IMHO. Try to live by it whenever possible.

So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking.... Good lyrics for a mid-life crisis

My favourite album of all time.

There, said it.

Agree, the SACD version is awe inspiring.

There are a number of bootlegs.

Theres trance ones, house ones all sorts.

None of them hold a candle to the original though.

"Forward!" he cried, and the men on the front line died.
The general sat, and the lines on the map moved from side to side.

I particularly like the lyrics to
"Several species of small furry animals gathered together in a cave and grooving with a Pict".



Edited to add: a song with a title like that almost belongs in the "What happened to my thread" thread...

ran it doon by the haim, 'ma place
well I slapped me and I slapped it doon in the side
and I cried, cried, cried. "
