Just making a correction, at the 14:20 mark I refer to Any Colour You Like as track nine instead of track eight by accident. I put a note in the video during editing but it got deleted somehow and doesn't appear in the final uploaded video.

One of the greatest albums ever.

Wish You Were Here, Animals, The Wall are must listens. Great reaction!

1st time? Welcome to the machine!!!!

Oh, forgot to add...I saw Pink Floyd on their A Momentary Lapse of Reason Tour at Veteran's Stadium in Philadelphia in 1988. I had a floor seat, but it was in the back of the floor. Everyone stood up on their chair when the band came on and i couldnt see a thing as i was short and only 16. So i went to an upper level, and a nice older couple in the fromt row had an extra seat and let me sit with them. I had the most incredible view of the stage and circular screen and when the chorus of Us & Them hit each time, the colored lights pointing in at the center of the screen would swivel around to face the crowd and turn bright white lighting up EVERYTHING. It was simply breathtaking. Best concert I've ever seen. I'll never forget it.

ANIMALS is their greatest album, in my opinion. Check it out. It's only 5 songs long. 🤞✌️

One of my favorite memories is listening to this while watching The Wizard of Oz on mute with my family, and just enjoying the flow.

"The Wall" is a rock opera. One of the greatest albums ever recorded. 🤞✌️

It blows my mind there are people out there who have never heard Money. Such a great album, even better if you can listen to it straight through, no breaks. Such a different experience.

The run of Floyd albums from Atom Heart Mother to Meddle, DSotM, Wish You Were Here, Animals and The Wall is probably unmatched by any other artist or group outside of The Beatles.

Best album of all time hands down. This album demands to be listened to from beginning to end without any skips. If you like Dark side of the moon, then check out: The wall Wish you were here Meddle Momentary laps of reason And The piper at the gates of dawn Pink Floyd 's Discography is just amazing

Someone should have told you this is not an album that you pause. Not your fault. Always appreciate your insights. Hope your spring is going well.

It's pretty much impossible to say what is the best record ever made, but if there ever was one worthy of that title, Dark Side of The Moon would be it. Great reaction!

One of my favorite channels, I appreciate how genuine you are with every reaction. Hoping for the Velvet Underground soon!

It always brings me joy seeing young people getting to listen to this music.

Always a treat to see someone get into this band! I would recommend you listen to their double album The Wall at this point - It's basically Pink Floyd's version of NIN's The Downward Spiral.

For decades pink Floyd resisted the tracks being separated; each album was presented as a whole compendium, the balance only resolved when the whole album was listened to,in one go. It might be said that holds true for their entire catalog of albums. It’s certainly an epic and unique journey of English ‘progressive rock’ Spoken by a Scot, btw!

Great review of an iconic album! Thank you Molly 😊

As has been mentioned this album remained on the Billboard Top 200 for 741 consecutive weeks (14 years, 2 months), between March of 1973 and October 1988 before finally dropping off. And now sits at 19 years in total. I bet it still gets a bump in sales during the holidays.

Not trying to knock your process of reactions, but Pink Floyd’s albums from Dark Side and after are really meant to be listened through. Track by track can interrupt the experience of the album. I just want to recommend listening to the whole album, then commenting on the record. If you don’t, that’s cool. Just listening to Pink Floyd is awesome. Glad to have you sit in the space that has molded many of us. The next albums you should listen to in order are Wish You Were Here, Animals, then The Wall. Atom Heart Mother and Saucerful of Secrets are fun ones to listen to, really shows their origin story before perfecting their sound on the album Meddle. I’m just a big Pink Floyd fan and love seeing people experience the band and their music.

Ok 2 things you really need to do soon (if you haven't already) 1. listen to Pink Floyd's album "The Wall" 2. Watch the movie based on the album.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to te concept album. We have now trancended to a higher form of thinking: songs that lyrically have something to do with each other. Crazy idea 50 years ago and apparently its a crazy idea now.

What a lot of people don't stop to think of when considering this album is it was produced over a half century ago.

This album is 51 years old. The sound effects are mad in the studio messing around with equipment. Not at your finger tips like today. They were worlds ahead of their time!!

One of the few things my dad and I can agree on is Pink Floyd. This album has been present for my entire life. My dad loved to blast this on his very expensive (and very big) speakers when I was a kid. Years later I would sync it up to The Wizard of Oz in college. It's still with me today.

Pink Floyd's album The Wall is one of the greatest true albums ever written.

From the 1994 Pulse Concert, please check out COMFORTABLY NUMB. You will witness one of the greatest guitar solos ever.

My favorite song is Eclipse, but I believe it only works when you listen to the entire album, so every time I feel like listening to Eclipse, I find myself compelled to listen to the album from start to finish.

Oh, to be able to hear this for the first time again. Best concept album ever. Time is my all time favorite song. Probably always will be. I played Dark Side of the Rainbow (Dark Side set to the Wizard of Oz) for my daughters when they were 5, 3 and 2. My 5 year old said to me, "Daddy, is this rock and roll? I think I like this." My wife and I always get emotional when Eclipse hits it's crescendo. This album has become such an integral part of my life, I can't imagine living without it.

One of the single greatest listening experiences I’ve ever had was hearing David Gilmour’s solo on “Time” for the first time and feeling like I was soaring thru space off of his notes.

Every song from Dark Side of the Moon was performed LIVE by Pink Floyd at the 1994 PULSE CONCERT. Pink Floyd were masters of live performances.

This album is my all time number 1 favorite album, I'm glad you got to experience it!

Great Gig vocal was improvised by “session vocalist” Claire Tory.

Dark Side of the Moon is one of the best albums of all time. It stayed in the top 200 sales for more than a decade! Like most of Pink Floyd, you need to listen to and think of the album as a whole, not a collection of individual songs. Sit back in the dark with good headphones and lose yourself in a re-listen of the whole album. Mind "enhancers" are not necessary, the album is all you need. Listen to a mastered album or CD quality at least to pick up all the subtle details of the incredible production. The Wall and Wish You Were Here are also great to react to. They are less "connected" but still tell one story....

Inventive, unique and well ahead of its time. A musical masterpiece that never ages.

The thing I love about this album is that they touch on so many elements in the first track, foreshadowing things to come. Then you get to hear each one at just the right moment in the album. I've heard a few artists try to emulate The Dark Side Of The Moon in their own concept albums, but I haven't heard one yet that could match the scope and heights of this album.

Great review Molly.👍On the money with your explanations of how the tracks unfold.Please listen to it seemlessly,no breaks,headphones on,darkened room,close your eyes...and just drift away.🎧🎶🌌 One of the best ever.😉👍

I listened to this album for the first time when I was 16. And at that time I already said it was probably my favourite album. 12 years later, it still is.

Prog rock, concept albums aren't really meant to be broken up into individual tracks. It's all one story, and designed to be listened to continuously.

Check out the connection between this album and the film, "The Wizard of Oz", it has some eerie coincidences

This is one of those classics that back in the day you would take a couple of hits off of a reefer and then put your headphones on. Ah, the good old days. Peace ❤

This is the only record that makes me emotional. It's so well made, so beautiful. Truly a timeless masterpiece

Wish You Were Here - You need to listen Shine on You Crazy Diamond !!! Changes life !!!

Great review! Such an amazing album, or should I say "experience". Pink Floyd are MASTERS of their art. They do it all perfectly

Animals, Wish You Were Here, the Wall and Meddle are all fantastic albums. You should definitely check those all out

Floyd’s sounds & rhythms especially production value are great. But the lyrics tell you everything about the song.

I think all us Pink Floyd fans are together on this in saying we'd love you to react to the Live Pulse Concert video. I think you'd be absolutely blown away! That concert is Pink Floyd perfection!

Molly, I appreciate your reaction to this. Never been much of a Pink Floyd person myself, but I do enjoy some of their songs, and I always value your take. 👍💯

OHHHHH i LOVE Pink Floyd!! This album is phenomenal, I love On The Run and The Great Gig In The Sky. Now you've gotta do The Wall in the future, and I had an idea. The band made a dvd for the Wall that's basically a movie version of the album that tells the same story and plays all the songs over it. Do you think you might react to the movie so you'll be hearing the album and seeing the film at the same time? I guess it's like getting the full experience that way.

“The Dark Side of the Moon” and “Wish you were here” are my absolute favorites 🙏🏻

Now for the 9th studio album. “Wish You Were Here”

Great reaction Molly. The Dark Side of the Moon which went on sale a few weeks before I was born in April 1973, is my favourite rock album of all time. The 3 subsequent Pink Floyd albums, Wish You Were Here, Animals & The Wall also worth checking out and are epic too.

Pleeeease react to Fear of A Blank Planet by Porcupine Tree. Such a crazy trip of an album! We need more prog rock!!

You gotta go down the Pink Floyd rabbit hole :) the 4 albums from 73-79 might be the greatest run of albums for a band ever

If you’re going to do any more Pink Floyd, one thing you have to know is that the song meanings and concepts are the main focus above all else. I know in your videos you cover the musical aspects of songs more so than the lyrical aspects of them, but with Pink Floyd, the meaning of the music comes before everything else. The only standout and noteworthy feature on the musical side of things is David Gilmour’s guitar playing. And even that is pretty heavily tied to the song meanings and the emotions being put forth. And it’s not that the music isn’t to be appreciated either, it’s just that the lyrical themes are very much the star of the show when it comes to Pink Floyd. Their classic string of albums-Darkside of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals, The Wall, (and by extension; The Final Cut)-are all concept albums. Pink Floyd has mastered _the concept album_ and have set the bar high for what a good concept album is to be like. Darkside of the Moon is widely considered the best concept album of all time. There’s also many people (like myself) who would give that title to The Wall. If you weren’t able to catch what exactly the concept of this album was, I would highly suggest looking it up. It’s really easy to come by since Pink Floyd’s concept albums have been thoroughly broken down and analyzed by many people. So there’s plenty of readily available album breakdowns where the albums concept is explained and accompanied by song-by-song explanations. And for their albums (Darkside of the Moon especially), for as fantastic and magical it is sonically, it makes it that much more mind blowing when you understand the concept and the meaning of what it is you’re hearing. In most cases I wouldn’t really sweat it, but in cases like The Nothing by Korn previously, and Pink Floyd in general currently, I think it’s necessary to stress that the meaning of the music is what’s most important here.

Dark Side of the Moon is an absolute gem of an album, and it stands the test of time as a hallmark of the Prog Rock genre. Also, come on, Molly, a saxophone solo is really something you should have expected on this album. As they say, expect the unexpected! Another awesome video, can't wait to see what you are going to post next!

My memory of Dark Side of the Moon was going to the library (that was our internet 😝) and seeing it listed on the back cover in the Billboard charts usually near the bottom third week after week, month after month... Years? I was always obsessed to see my hard rock band take on the flavor of the month. But even as my fave bands shot up and left, or never made it, Dark Side sat in the charts for eternity. And I thought everyone who listened to them were sort of today's hipsters. Too cool to be cool? 🙃

This is one of the few albums that is really just one flowing song. It's absolutely beautiful

Now you're listening to the guy with the most iconic guitar tone and feel after Jimmie Hendrix. This is their most successful and crafted album. Sure, the next ones aren't too shabby at all.

I'm about 18 months older than this album, and I remember hearing somgs from it on the radio when i was 10 or so, but when i was 12 I bought the cassette, and listened to the whole thing. I can still see my room and remember how I felt listening to this album. I copied it to a blank cassette so i could keep a copy in my car. Ive probably purchased this album a dozen times over the years, as some would get worn out or scratched, or as the band put out different versions, etc. Simply put, its a perfect album to me. I hope you move on to other Floyd albums...especially the rest of what is considered "the big 4," Wish You Were Here, Animals, and The Wall. All EXCELLENT concept albums, and worth listening to a few hundred times. Lol

Alice down the rabbit hole of progressive music

Thanks for your great review Molly, I wish i could hear it for the first time again, I have heard it 100's by now. I think you would enjoy Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield, a highly creative debut album from a musical genius.

If you liked "Breathe", then you simply MUST listen to the MEDDLE album. Specifically, 'A Pillow Of Winds". It is their most interesting love song, which it has been said is also the most psychedelic of songs (Beato, 2023). It is such a cacophony of acoustic guitars that it will blow your mind and will show you where they got their ideas for the chimes you'll hear elsewhere in their later music! Also the following track, Fearless is great as well. But ECHOES is their stand out track off the same album!!!

I'm 38 - my dad introduced me to this and other great music as a young child - been listening to it my entire life, a masterpiece

Echoes, on the album Meddle, the album before DSOM. It's where they finally got it together after years of experimentation. Roger Waters described Echoes as the band finishing their apprenticeship, producing the masterpiece required to qualify and then saying "right lads, get your aprons on, we're going to do Dark Side of the Moon". Best listened to on a beach with massive speakers behind you, the Sun has just set, the crescent Moon about to set and the stars are starting to come out. Close your eyes get taken away by the music. When you open your eyes at the end the Moon has set and the Milky Way galaxy is overhead. Sit in silence with the waves lapping on the beach.

Shoutout to Durga McBroom, impressive and gorgeous voice. My sister and I met her 10 years ago when she came to a radio station here in my country, very gentle and grounded person.

Most people don't just "Listen" to Pink Floyd, the "Experience" Pink Floyd. We all hear the musical changes but what did you experience while listening? Not a word about the song lyrics? What did those lyrics make you think about or feel? Connecting to the emotional side of yourself my be challenging but in the end, it will be rewarding and a opportunity to grow.

Finally, someone approaching the album as a whole creation (as it was intended) rather than individual songs. Thank you.

Hell Yeah!!! I've been waiting for this reaction for a long time. Molly, now you will have to go down the Pink Floyd "rabbit hole". There is a reason this is one of the most sold albums of all time.

What do you think of The Dark Side of the Moon? I think it's marvelous. And with that thought Pink Floyd explode into the finale of The Dark Side of the Moon. ECLIPSE

I saw them live, the show, the music, was absolutely amazing, and sweet baby jesus, the backing vocalists, not only did they sound incredible, they had moves that were sexier than all hell, they were absolute fire, especially on Great Gig in the Sky....I have one question for you Molly, now that you've heard Dark Side of the Moon, will you be getting the T-shirt ?

Love your full album reviews❤ Keep it up... I am curious what epic albums come next! off topic... the face you have a copy of FSX on your shelf intrigues me. maybe for a separate video one day😅 😅

This isn't just a collection of great, innovative songs; the album encompasses an overarching theme of the human condition. Things that we all encounter in our lives: the struggle to get ahead, randomness of accidents, letting time slip away, money, conflicts, the illusion of choices (i.e. "fate"), and death. The heartbeat bookending the album indicates a loop, repeating for each generation.

My favorite album of all-time. The flow between these tracks is absolute perfection.

Hello Molly, I don't want to diminish your thoughts but I want to reframe the album. The first side could be heard in terms of a life/lifetime. In the beginning and in stereotypical fashion, the doctor delivers a baby, slaps the child, and tells the child to "breathe." At the end of one's life, one may contemplate the afterlife, whether down below or up above. At birth and at death, there is sound but not necessarily words (crying, perhaps?). And in between the beginning and the end, what do we choose to do with all that time?

The first time I heard Dark Side of the Moon was also the first time I got high. Both made an impression.

Hi Molly Sanborn, Please react to The Warning video for the song called Choke. Thank you. By the way, this band credits Pink Floyd as a big influence.⚡️🔥🤟😎

This is a 20th-century audio masterpiece, I look forward to your PF listening journey 👍

Oh man, youre in for a treat. One of the greatest albums of all time, and also has my favorite song of all time, "The Great Gig in the Sky." Cant wait to see your thoughts on this experience.

Great reaction! I totally recommend "The Wall" next, and one detail about that album that always makes me giddy to think about is the little easter egg they put in it. Partly the easter egg itself, but also that it feels like something so unique at that time when it was released! Those who knows about it knows :D haha

I remember my first time listening to this one. I went in knowing it was "one of the greatest rock albums", so I was expecting some good classic rock. Instead I got this gorgeous experience. It really defies categorization.

Fun Fact: Syd Barrett(original vocalist; only on first two albums) named the band after two American Blues artists, Pink Anderson and Floyd Council.

I agree with everyone's Pink Floyd album recommendations...but if you want an interesting look at their beginning, you should listen to their first album, "Piper at the Gates of Dawn". It is some far out 60s psychedelic music, but still pretty cool in my opinion. You might not want to do a reaction to it, but it's still worth listening to on your own.

Great one! One of my favorites. I stopped commenting a long time ago because you replied that Coheed and Cambria was on your list. But that's been about 2 years. So here we go again.. Coheed!

For me, the last true Pink Floyd album, "Division Bells" equaled the masterpiece quality of 'Dark Side of the Moon'. However, there is a track intentionally left off this album and saved as a final radio hit for "Endless River", which were outtakes from Division Bell and released many years later. This hit was called "Louder Than Words". Some Pink Floyd fans don't recognize this album because Roger Waters does not appear on it. To me, that was like saying, Pink Floyd's first album, "Piper at the Gates of Dawn' doesn't count because it featured Syd Barrett on guitar and vocals. Guitarist/singer/songwriter David Gilmour had not performed with Floyd, until their second album. You will also find several Pink Floyd early radio hits were left off their albums. Released only as 45 rpm singles, songs like "Julia Dream", "See Emily Play", "Paint Box" and "Arnold Layne". However, they can be found on a compilation album called 'Relics' or just check out these KZfaqs videos.

Noice, settle in for one or the best bands of all time.

Meddle and Obscured by Clouds are two really good early Floyd albums. Also, Division Bell doesn’t get a lot of love, by I always personally found it to be pretty underrated

Great album, cool reaction! I just discovered you. Dark Side of the Moon is definitely the best album by Pink Floyd. I would highly recommend moving on to another band... Led Zeppelin. I seen you mention Tame Impala, who actually wrote a song titled "Led Zeppelin", lol. Led Zeppelin are the 5th biggest selling music artist of all time (The Beatles are the #1 biggest selling artist of all time). I would start with Led Zeppelin I, and go right through to their final album...CODA. Alternately, I would do the Beatles catalogue. Both will blow your mind! I subscribed! Peace

Molly you’re my favorite KZfaqr!! I love your videos so damn much but only because 🥲you’re in them lol ☺️

There are moments that are just magic… this album is one of them.

On the US Billboard Top 200 for 990 weeks [yeah 19 years] and counting.

Certainly, one of the greatest Rock band of all time, and this album is one of the greatest Rock album of all time, some say THE greatest. I would agree but I'm biased, I've been a huge Pink Floyd fan since 1973 when this album was released, I was 17 years old. Formed in London in 1964 they are certainly in the top 5 GOAT Rock bands ever, and like virtually every other Rock band to come out of England in the 1960s, they were a Blues based band. Progressive Rock is their sub-category. They even took their band name from two American Blues guitarists from the early to mid 1900s,... PINK Anderson, (1900-1974), and, FLOYD Council, (1911-1976). I've seen them twice live, and tickets to see them were especially hard to get, as they practically sold out every show they performed in 70s, 80s and 90s. "The Dark Side Of The Moon" album has sold over 55 million copies to date, one of the best-selling albums of all time. The album also holds the record for most weeks on Billboards Top 100 Albums of All Time list,... something like 962 weeks,... that's over 18 years on the list! Looking forward to more PF reactions. If you wanted to do single song reactions, in their entirety, PF1994 Pulse Concert would be a great place to choose from their ginormous catalog of songs. The quality of the video is quite exceptional, it has been re-mastered and re-edited, for an incredible Floyd experience, sonically and visually.

So im 28 and while I was in highschool I found this album and listened to it everyday throughout the school day. I remember just feeling so calm and comfortable while I listened. I remember the clocks at the start of time scaring me when I fell asleep in class 😂

That’s album 8. Do: Wish You Were Here (1975) The Wall (1979) Live at Pompei (1972) Pulse (1995)

One of rhe greatest albums ever, my personal favorite prog-rock album. It was groundbreaking in its production style, produced by Alan Parsons who would go on to create his own studio project band called The Alan Parsons Project, who would go on the make some fantastic albums, especially their concept album, "I Robot".

Your only mistake was not listening to the album at 1:30 in the morning with the last 2 or 3 people left at the party. Pink Floyd is always best after midnight.

I’ve spent many hours listening sprawled on the floor in the dark inhaling and experiencing the sonic textures from Pink Floyd albums.

Over 990 weeks on the charts, that is over 19 years.

I'm not sure if even a lot of Pink Floyd fans realize the beginning song with all the voices and stuff is basically a montage prelude You can hear great gig In the Sky the Woman screaming you can hear t** bits of The Other song's Money it was like a sign of things to come for the album

I'm gonna be one of "those" people and recommend you hit the run of this series: _Meddle_ -> _Dark Side of the Moon_ (DSotM) -> _Wish You Were Here_ -> _Animals_ -> _The Wall._ You are not only talking about one of the greatest runs of album cycles in history, but also the evolution of an entire genre and sound. Listening to those albums in that order in one sitting is a religious experience. Beyond that, you get varying recommendations based on what particular section of sound they were doing at that time. Some people prefer _Ummagumma_ to _Saucerful of Secrets_ and vice versa, but most people will highly agree with _Piper at the Gates of Dawn._
