Pink Floyd "Dark Side of the Moon" [1973]

As if anyone needed another reason to help explain the amazing assholishness of the Beatles, here it is -- in horrid detail. Garishly sentimental lyrics ground into Alan Parsons' fart-brained synth loops and found sounds only prove the future of popular music was absolutely face-down in 1973. Except "Dark Side of the Moon" is stupider, stonededer than anything the Fab Four tried (in vain) to accomplish. Adding insult to injury are all the illiterate soul-laced vocalizations and ridiculous saxophone lines which serve as filler between audacious odes to greed and phony psychology, not to mention jazz progressions that would make Freddie Mercury shout, "This shit is over the top!" "Dark Side of the Moon" spent over 700 weeks on the charts, but all that proves is that the people keeping track of these things were just as wasted as everyone else back then. The 70's sucked, and this album shows you why.
