Even more casual fans may be unaware that Pink Floyd made any albums before The Dark Side of the Moon. Casual fans may be unaware that Pink Floyd made as many albums before The Dark Side of the Moon as they did after. Needless to say, The Dark Side of the Moon did not arrive as an abrupt burst of brilliance (great art seldom does) so much as the end result of a long and at times excruciating process, a sort of prog rock apprenticeship. (My album-by-album analysis of the band’s output can be found at “All Things Reconsidered: Why Not Pink Floyd?”, PopMatters, 11 November 2011.) In short, Pink Floyd made it not only possible, but inevitable that other bands would attract more - and more serious - scrutiny, however much many of them suffered by comparison. It simply cannot be overstated how meaningful it was, and remains, that one of the best-selling and influential albums in history happens to be the apotheosis of prog rock’s canon. Pepper did for rock ‘n’ roll: elevating it from pop to art, and through one indelible and irrevocable triumph, granted authenticity - for all time– to an entire genre. The Dark Side of the Moon did for progressive music what Sgt. This, along with the unparalleled streak of top tier albums they created, elevates them above all others as the prototypical and most significant prog band.Īs much praise as the group rightly receives, they may not be fully appreciated for the ways they changed the future of music.
While we welcome feedback, if you pop into modmail being a stick, you are less likely to be taken seriously or with actual concern, so please take that into consideration.It isn’t that Pink Floyd made some of the best albums of the ‘70s (they did), or that Pink Floyd moved the art form forward (they did) it’s that Pink Floyd did the impossible: they made music that is unlikely to marginalize, and more than any other band, brought progressive rock into the mainstream. While we can't please everyone all of the time, we are human and do our best to make the sub as enjoyable as possible for everyone.
