The
Dark Side of the Moon was Pink Floyd's 8th album
but for me it was the first one I listened to.
I was in High School and my mother had a class party for her form – and they
were a sophisticated lot – they brought over this album.
There were many great (and daring) tracks on it – I thought
Comfortably Numb was one of them – but on checking find it comes from The
Wall. So much for my memory.
The cover was truly iconic.
The album was recorded between 1972 and 1973. It was a
concept album exploring the themes of conflict, greed, time and mental
illness. But it was thrilling rather
than grim.
A great album by a great band.
I Love Comfortably Numb. We have all the Pink Floyd and David Gilmour solo CDs. I was fortunate enough to see them in Miami back in the 70's,
