Why ‘Dark Side of the Moon’ still matters at 50

As a life long Floyd fan, I learned one of my favorite Pink Floyd facts from an HN comment a month or so ago:

> The instrumental section of Money is based on the live soundtrack they did for the moon landing in 1969.[1]

Absolute magic.

I fucking love Pink Floyd and I love that album. I love how the entire album transitions into the next song beautifully. It's a masterpiece.

Also the album cover is great. I have a shirt based on it.

Here I was thinking you meant the 2011 blockbuster, Transformers: Dark of the Moon, the third installment in the live action Transformers franchise by Michael Bay.
