Also this year, a remastered version of The Dark Side of the Moon Album was released as part of its 50th anniversary.

This album is their great work that has been appreciated by their fans and many critics. There are great songs on the album, but if I had to choose one, I would say Time as my favorite. I think the song Time is a perfect example of how Pink Floyd can bring two entirely different moods to a song and somehow make it work.
