I still think WYWH is their masterpiece.

If they ever did another tour, I'd just hand over my credit card.DSM is my favorite but they all have something to give.
They are the one band I would pay a fortune to see reunited.

I still remember when Dark Side of the Moon first came out, my best friend shows up with the album, says "You gotta listen to this!", puts it on, gives me my headphones, and ques up "Time", with some volume.
Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here, were my favorite albums. Loved listening to the dog in Seamus on Meddle (used to drive my dog nuts!).
One of my all time favorite lyrics is from Breathe on Dark Side of the Moon:
For long you live and high you fly
But only if you ride the tide
And balanced on the biggest wave
You race towards an early grave
Just genius..
You say the hill's too steep to climb
Chiding!
You say you'd like to see me try
Climbing!
You pick the place and I'll choose the time
And I'll climb
The hill in my own way
just wait a while, for the right day
And as I rise above the treeline and the clouds
I look down hear the sound of the things you said today
Fearlessly the idiot faced the crowd, smiling
Merciless, the magistrate turns 'round, frowning
and who's the fool who wears the crown
Go down in your own way
And everyday is the right day
And as you rise above the fear lines in his brown
You look down
Hear the sound of the faces in the crowd

The lyrics of my life were basically written in 'Time':
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.
It's also somewhat about liquid microdot...lolGoing to go deep here:
I read this lyrics in bold and it occurs to me that maybe what sets this band apart and why "We" still cherish the band is in the writing of the songs, they speak of the Common Man's struggle to make every day life different.
I mean pick a song, pick an album, they're about the struggle of everyday life. And a lot of them are business people and they're daily work life.
Maybe that's why they never get old because what the wrote about comes around in another part of our lives.
:micdrop:
I Love the song Time! It sums up life pretty good!
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.
So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.
Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over,
Thought I'd something more to say.
Pats Fan, where are you in MA, I am right in Reading
