Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon is arguably my favorite album of all time. When I read the news that the band won their lawsuit against EMI recently because they never permitted the publisher to sell individual track downloads I thought, well if anyone has a case it’s Pink Floyd. I mean, between Floyd, Zeppelin and Steely Dan they practically invented the album oriented rock genre and the multitude of AOR radio stations to follow. These days it’s rare to see contemporary artists recording full bodies of work that actually constitute an album (not to mention producing a concept record). I am excited to see the Floyd still live on digitally, even if you can’t buy their songs one at a time on iTunes…this 8-Bit ditty of Money somehow translates into pop culture genius.
