Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon to be preserved by US Library of Congress - Polidicks

[t]http://imgkk.com/i/tz1m.jpg[/t] [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-21880663[/url] [quote]Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon is to seal its place in history at the US Library of Congress as part of its National Recording Registry. Joining it will be Chubby Checker's 1960's dance hit The Twist and Sounds of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel. Each year, 25 "culturally" or "historically" significant recordings are added to the registry, established in 2000.[/quote]

Wish I was there to check it out

[QUOTE=MeMassiveFag;39993061]Wish I was there to check it out[/QUOTE] wish you were here

[b] Sounds of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel.[/b] yes

[QUOTE=W0w00t;39993085]wish you were here[/QUOTE] on the dark side of the moon

A piece of history.

why wasn't it there already

[QUOTE=Articsledder;39993176]why wasn't it there already [B]why is there a limit of 25 per year[/B][/QUOTE] so the ones that get in actually count for anything?

Awesome. I was teaching a class of 0th graders a couple weeks back, they were allowed to listen to music while drawing what they had been doing over the weekend. One of the lil' buggers put on a Dark Side of the Moon CD. Where the kid got it, I'll never know, but thank [I]God[/I] he did :v:

Wow, this album is 40 years old this year. And Roger Waters will be 70 this year.

[QUOTE=Greenen72;39993185]so the ones that get in actually count for anything?[/QUOTE] Fuck I was hoping no one would quote that part before I realized how stupid it was

I really wish this album didn't Eclipse any of the other albums that got on the list - I mean you'd have to have brain damage to see a lot of other good recordings were added to the list. I guess at the end of the day though DSOTM made more money and has been around for a very long time etc

As in, pre-1st graders? -google- Huh. didn't know that was a term for kindergarten.

[QUOTE=S31-Syntax;39993457]0th graders? As in, pre-1st graders? -google- Huh. didn't know that was a term for kindergarten.[/QUOTE] They thought kindergardeners was offensive. Yes. I'd wish I was shitting you.

[QUOTE=Super_Nova;39993307]Wow, this album is 40 years old this year. And Roger Waters will be 70 this year.[/QUOTE] It makes me sad that all of the still surviving members o Pink Floyd will die in my lifetime. Roger, David, Nick (well I don't care much about Nick Mason, he's a talentless hack)

[QUOTE=Riller;39993554]They thought kindergardeners was offensive. Yes. I'd wish I was shitting you.[/QUOTE] [I]what.[/I] Where did you hear this?

[QUOTE=MeMassiveFag;39993061]Wish I was there to check it out[/QUOTE] I wish I could be there in the flesh.

[QUOTE=W0w00t;39993085]wish you were here[/QUOTE] That album should be added too.

Glad it will be preserved for [I]time[/I] to come.

[QUOTE=S31-Syntax;39993628][I]what.[/I] Where did you hear this?[/QUOTE] It's the actual reasoning. Something with the confidence of the kids, since aparently, 0th grade makes it sound like you're actually in school, where kindergarden sounds like just another daycare.

[QUOTE=Super_Nova;39993307]Wow, this album is 40 years old this year. And Roger Waters will be 70 this year.[/QUOTE] Oh my god, that makes me feel old. I used to listen to this album when I was thirteen... and it was thirty-five :V

I saw Roger Waters back in 2006. It was incredible. If you ever get a chance to see him live, PLEASE go.

[QUOTE=Metashotzo;39994416]I saw Roger Waters back in 2006. It was incredible. If you ever get a chance to see him live, PLEASE go.[/QUOTE] Ah, you saw theDSOTM tour. I saw him for The Wall back in 2012. Regardless, go to his show. Worth it.

This album [I]Speaks to me[/I]

[QUOTE=Riller;39993554]They thought kindergardeners was offensive. Yes. I'd wish I was shitting you.[/QUOTE] Wait, why and how?

Woo, have a Money solo. [media]http://soundcloud.com/n4p0130n/money-solo[/media]

[QUOTE=Mr._N;39995316]-snip-[/QUOTE] Us and Them is pretty awesome as well, though not as fast or complex.. It has this sombre atmosphere, evoking much awe. [video=youtube;s_Yayz5o-l0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_Yayz5o-l0[/video] Still love the time solo though, was so proud when I finally learnt it.
