The Story Behind Pink Floyd's 'Time' as Told by Drummer Nick Mason

Pink Floyd are titans of not just their time, but all time. Call them classic rock, call them art-rock, call them prog -- there's no denying the sheer impact of their '70s output. At the top of their acclaimed discography -- both commercially and critically -- stands their 1973 masterpiece The Dark Side of the Moon. In this episode of The Story Behind the Song, drummer Nick Mason takes us through one of the most celebrated songs from that opus: "Time."

The Dark Side of the Moon is the masterpiece of Pink Floyd. All other albums are excellent. But this one (the vinyl version, not the CD one) is more like a symphony than like a collection of songs. The sound never stops, and everything fits in the story of the madman.

Malgré que ce soit un groupe qui n'arrivait pas à s'enyendre entre musiciens ;
Pink Floyd est absolument incomparable.
Personne ne peut imiter ce groupe.
