* One of the often overlooked masterpieces of this album would have to be "Keep Talking". The song has been made worthy of this article thanks not just to its powerful lyrics, but from its musical components: a dual electric guitar/synth solo, a gospel choir, the return of the talk-box, and samples of Stephen Hawking's synthesized voice from a British Telecom commercial that actually made David Gilmour ''cry.'' The song's music displays just as much prowess as its lyrics.

Although written by Waters, it's another showcase for Gilmour, who plays the haunting riff at the beginning, the great guitar solo in the middle, and even the memorable fretless bass part throughout.

* "Another Brick in the Wall (Part II)" will always kick major ass. ALWAYS. At exactly the 2:49 mark is one the most amazing note bends in musical history. Just that 5 seconds there is one the finest moments in music. It's even more insanely awesome when [[https://soundcloud.com/mixessss21/pink-floyd-vs-bee-gees-stayin mashed up excellently with the Bee Gees' "Stayin' Alive"]]. And while not everyone is a huge fan of the Music/{{Korn}} version, it speaks to the staying power of this song when they play it live and you hear people who weren't even ''alive'' when the album came out singing along to "HEY! TEACHER! LEAVE THOSE KIDS ALONE!" with every fiber of their being.

There's so much emotion in some of these songs that it hurts, and this album should never be overlooked. "High Hopes" might also count as a TearJerker because it seems like the band's farewell to their loyal audience. On the ''Echoes'' compilation, though, it's cleverly segued into Syd Barrett's "Bike" (by cutting from the closing church bell to a bicycle bell) so that they form a pair of reverse {{bookends}} to the band's career.

* The entire live half is an absolutely fantastic journey into what Pink Floyd shows were like in their psychedelic years (particularly for those too young to have actually experienced it [[{{Pun}} in the flesh]]). All four songs are superbly done, but "A Saucerful of Secrets" in particular is utterly ~~sublime.~~
sublime.[[note]] And it could have been even more awesome; the band felt that their performances at Mothers Club in Birmingham were superior to those at the Manchester College of Commerce, but their recording equipment malfunctioned at the Mothers gig, so the majority of tracks on the album - "Astronomy Domine", "Careful with that Axe, Eugene", and the first two sections of "A Saucerful of Secrets" - are taken from the Manchester concert.[[/note]]

If you had to narrow Pink Floyd's awesome output down to one album, it'd be ''The Dark Side of the Moon'', their most critically acclaimed and commercially successful work. It was on the Billboard Top 200 for '''''14 years''''' and would have re-entered the chart again had Billboard not changed the rules to prevent that (instead, it remains a mainstay of their "Catalog" chart). When they changed their rules in 2009 to allow catalog albums and re-entries into the Billboard Top 200, ''The Dark Side of the Moon'' re-entered the chart a few weeks later and has popped in here and there ever since.

The fact that Pink Floyd created such an atmosphere with a single repeated note is proof of their greatness. (Especially Wright's greatness, as he came up with the intro. He wasn't as visible as Waters or Gilmour, but his contributions were nonetheless vital.)

* "If" is an important track as well, as it is similar to "Brain Damage" from ''Music/TheDarkSideOfTheMoon''.
* "Summer '68" is a major stand-out from the album. Influenced by Music/TheBeachBoys, it's generally considered to be one of the stronger compositions by Richard Wright.
* "Fat Old Sun" shows that even Pink Floyd can show their calmer side every once in a while.
