“Dark Side of the Moon” was released 50-years ago on March 1, 1973 by Pink Floyd. Included here is the second track from that iconic, best-selling album of all time. It spent nearly all of the next 14 years — through punk, disco, early hip-hop and the pop heyday of MTV — lodged in Billboard’s Top 200 album chart. The rest of the songs on this playlist are progressive rock tracks, two from around the same time period in the 70’s, and one by King Crimson from 1995.
1 – Breathe (In The Air) – Pink Floyd

You can also listen to the songs on YouTube individually but it is best to ignore the video as it breaks the cohesiveness of the musical mood/idea.
