Saw Pink Floyd (granted, without Roger Waters) when my older brother took me to my first concert... At the old Foxboro Stadium, awful, rainy, freezing night, but a great show. Album vs. Album I think I like The Wall better, but they're so different it's hard to say. I like Breathe a lot, and Another Brick in the Wall is actually one of my least favorite songs from The Wall, so I voted Dark Side on the poll.
I thought it was 720 Weeks, just checked and it's 741 weeks
The Dark Side of the Moon was an immediate success, topping the Billboard 200 for one week. It subsequently remained in the charts for 741 weeks from 1973 to 1988, longer than any other album in history. With an estimated 45 million copies sold, it is Pink Floyd's most commercially successful album and one of the best-selling albums worldwide. It has twice been remastered and re-released, and has been covered by several other acts. It spawned two singles, "Money" and "Us and Them". In addition to its commercial success, The Dark Side of the Moon is one of Pink Floyd's most popular albums among fans and critics, and is frequently ranked as one of the greatest rock albums of all time.
If you have never seen this clip you should....then you know the only answer is Dark Side of the Moon

Pink Floyd: The Making of The Dark Side of the Moon
49:09 - 2 years ago
The most phenomenal recording in rock & roll history is thoroughly examined in Pink Floyd: The Dark Side of the Moon. The Floyd's 1973 masterpiece remained on bestseller charts for nearly 14 years, and its enduring importance is honored here by all four members of Pink Floyd and key personnel (engineer Alan Parsons, mixing supervisor Chris Thomas, sleeve designer Storm Thorgerson, and others) who played essential roles in the landmark album's creation. Produced for the Classic Albums series that originally aired on VH-1, this thorough and thought-provoking study highlights a track-by-track dissection of the LP's master tapes (including the spoken-word passages that bookend the album), superbly interlaced with archival footage, early demo tapes, concert animations, and latter-day acoustic performances by David Gilmour, Roger Waters, and Richard Wright to demonstrate each track's contribution to the final mix--a sonic exploration that extends to the illuminating bonus features. Informative interviews abound (including Rolling Stone senior editor David Fricke), and much-deserved credit is given to saxophonist Dick Parry, solo vocalist Clare Torry, and former Capitol Records chairman Bhaskar Menon, who fostered the album's U.S. commercial success

Pink Floyd is my favorite band of all times. I like both albums pretty much equal. If you break both albums down and pit songs from each album up against each other you can't honestly say one is better than the other. Can you say Us and Them is a better song than Comfortably Numb? Both albums are as about as perfect as you can get. However since hearing Easy Star All Stars cover Dark Side of The Moon in reggae on two separate mixes it makes you appreciate it on another artistic level.
