I randomly decided to listen to Dark Side of the Moon today.. on my iPod. My iPod! Doesn't it just seem wrong that such an album could even exist on an iPod? It should be an LP only experience. Of course, I'm a total hypocrite because I've never owned it in any other form than CD. Not that any of of that really matters (except I intend to seek it out on LP)... all I need to say really is I haven't really listened to this since my high school or college days, this album stands up up (even without doobage). What was it about 1973? Or more importantly: do you know anyone who doesn't own this album? Do you want to know anyone who doesn't own this album...
(I'll be eagerly awaiting people I actually know emailing to tell me they don't, to which I'll say: get it. Get it now)

That album has very strong memories for me. My sister bought it in 1974, shortly after we moved to France. I was about five years old and remember it being played constantly.
In my late teen and early twenties, I sort of abandonded album rock and "prog" rock when I became deeply involved in the bands that were supposed to be the antithesis of all that. But over the last couple of years I've come to terms with the music of my very early years and realized that music is music, and if you like it, you should embrace it. "Dark Side of the Moon" (which I have in fact upgraded to CD) is brilliant, and despite the fact that classic rock radio has beaten it to death, it still sounds amazingly fresh.
You may be interested in "Dub Side of the Moon," a reggae tribute to that album by the Easy Star All-Stars. It may not be your cup of tea, but I happen to love it. They also do a tribute to Radiohead's "OK Computer" (called "Radiodread").
