If that's so, I'd probably recognize the music, just not the
lyrics. Back in the day, I usually tuned out the lyrics of a song
and listened to the instrument parts. Many old popular songs, I
have no idea what they were singing about - didn't care. Also, I
was never a Pink Floyd fan but I did like and buy, "Dark Side of
the Moon." album. I bought that one on an 8-track.

"Dark Side of the Moon" has that effect on people. I was never a fan but buying the CD seemed like a no-brainer. One of their most iconic cuts on the album, "The Great Gig in the Sky" had no lyrics.

Remarkably, that album has been on the Billboard charts for a total of 18 years. The world's a better place because of DSotM. OTOH, the world's a bleaker place because of their eleventh album, "The Wall" so I guess it all evens out in the end.

That was one song on the album and probably the most popular.

You must know the song. Got tons of air play. Still does.

I need to listen to this album again to see what song I really
liked. It wasn't "Money." That was my least favorite but it was a
radio hit.

The one I'm remembering was slower and surreal (?) It did remind
me of an old Moody Blues song.

You might be thinking about "Us and Them."

The song (from the ALBUM Dark Side of the Moon) was called 'Brain
Damage', as a few others have pointed out.

I downloaded the mp3 of that yesterday. It rules and is one of
the good songs on that album.

However, Steve's suggestion of "Brain Damage" was the one I
remembered. I downloaded that one too yesterday. Since it does
contain the lyrics "dark side of the moon," that's why I thought
the song was named the same as the album.

I'm glad you found what you were looking for. I've been listening to the Alan Parsons Project. Mr. Parsons was responsible for the the general sound of Dark Side of the Moon.
