With this week marking 40 years since the release of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, how could I not make Tuesday's Tune, Time?
Pink Floyd's 8th studio album is known as their most successful.
Staying in the charts for an incredible 741 weeks from 1973-1988, with an estimated 50 million copies sold. Making the band millions of dollars.

The album included two singles, Time and Money.
It also went on to be the centre of rumours about the album being the original soundtrack of film The Wizard of Oz. Being dubbed "The Dark Side of the Rainbow" or "The Dark Side of Oz".
The band completely denied these rumours.
The Dark Side of the Moon continues to be recognised for it's prowess, being voted 8th in NME's 2006 Best Album of All Time poll.
