Have you ever heard the story about a classic album of the greatest progressive rock band called Pink Floyd ?. The name of this album is "The Dark Side of The Moon". It has been released since 1973 and today it is still very famous to people around the world. I think there are two or three reasons to tell you why it has been very famous like this.

First, it is a concept album. The main concept is about humanity by comparing each life is just like the sun when it is eclipsed by the moon. For Example, some lyric of the song such as "Breathe" ; "�..How long you live and high you fly�. Smile you give and tears you cry� All you touch and all you see is all your life will ever be..." . It makes us understand how each life is.

Second, because of the wonderful sound of this album. The sound engineer is Alan Parson, he is the most famous sound engineer in the 1970's. It's very hard to believe that the album was recording in 1972 but the sound is not less excellent than many albums in this decade anymore.

And the most important reason, Almost of Pink Floyd Fans believe it should be the real last album of Pink Floyd because after that the teamwork of the band had changed because of the over leadership of a member "Roger Waters" even though his genius would make the better and greater album like "The Wall" in 1979 but the same old relationship in the band would never be the same again too.

However, please don't believe what I say until you prove how wonderful it is. Just try it yourself!!!
