From the opening blasts of “Cinnamon Girl,” it was obvious Young wanted to blaze even on the more expected “The Losing End (When You’re On),” there was a brio that spoke to this newfound raucousness.- Holly Gleason | Buy now for $20 8. Built on long jams, jarring guitars and a sense of looseness that bordered on sloppy, there were few records as thrilling as the churning build of the 9:27 “Down By The River” or the ebb and flow of the 10:06 “Cowgirl In The Sand.” Crazy Horse was kerosene to Young’s spark, and Danny Whitten (guitar), Ralph Molina (drums) and Billy Talbott (bass) created a churning foundation for the songwriter to work against.

The psychedelic music that Pink Floyd so heavily influenced is present throughout the entire album. The tour that followed the album’s release took it to new heights, turning it into a rock opera. The themes that present themselves throughout the album stitch the story together, making a cohesive 26-track album. Lead singer, bassist and founding member of the band Roger Waters wrote the album based on experiences in his own life. It’s a painful story that most can relate to or at least comprehend, not only because so many have suffered similar pains in life, but because it comes from the story of a real person. It tells the tale of Pink, a troubled young man raised by an overprotective mother, who is trying to break down the wall in his mind that has been constructed by the authoritative figures in his life. The Wall is one of the greatest concept albums of all time. The legacy of Pink Floyd was not cemented with just The Dark Side of the Moon.
