Revolving: Dark Side of the Moon

Introduction: I have often called Dark Side of the Moon the 2001: A Space Odyssey of music. It has amazing production value and I can not deny the appeal many have for it but it just flat out bores me. I can almost never listen to it from A to B without zoning out and then several hours later realizing it finished. This is due to the album feeling more like background music or a soundtrack. Don't believe me? Why surely you've heard of "Dark Side of the Rainbow"? It's where Dark Side of the Moon is used as the soundtrack for The Wizard of Oz. It actually fits amazingly well, but I consider it only a coincidence. Anyways, my point is that people don't usually remember the soundtrack for a movie unless it's a musical or just has someone like Daft Punk or John Williams composing... I hope you know what I mean...
