Musically, the record expresses the concerns that there are in the lyric about basic fundamental questions about human existence. There was something about the symbiosis of the musical talents of the four of us that worked really well.īut also, I think, in terms of the lyrical content, philosophically it holds an appeal to each successive generation because it feels like it gives you permission to question things, maybe, which is something that is very appealing to us as we hit puberty and drift beyond it into real life.
Musically, this thing has really stood the test of time. Q: Why do you think this record has struck such a chord with so many different generations?Ī: I think the answer is twofold.

Q: When Pink Floyd entered the studio to record Dark Side of the Moon” were you striving for longevity or were you just thinking about making the best record you could at that time?Ī: Just making the best record. In an exclusive Billboard Q&A, Roger Waters, the band’s former frontman, dishes on the album that changed his band forever and made his wife cry.
This week, Pink Floyd’s landmark album “Dark Side of the Moon” notches a significant milestone: 1,500 weeks on the Billboard charts (The Billboard 200 and Top Pop Catalog Albums).
