It was 50 years ago Pink Floyd released one of the quintessential albums of all time in Dark Side of the Moon. October 13, Pink Floyd/Warner Music will release a remastered edition of the epic title in Vinyl, CD and blu-ray.

Coincidentally (?), Roger Waters is releasing Dark Side of the Moon Redux, which is a complete re-interpretation of the entire album on his own terms.

My personal favorite off the album. I have 2 copies of the vinyl, one still sealed brand new and a second I play.

Dark Side was a weird Floyd album for me.  It took me way too many years to view it a positively as the rest of the world did.

Ive always been a big fan of PF back to the mid 70s but there was always another album grabbing my attention.  Meddle, Animals, Wish You Were Here, The Wall...

 

It wasn't until some time after I saw them on the Delicate Sound of Thunder tour that I sort of forced myself to really stop and really listen to Dark Side.

 

Still not my favorite Floyd album but it is unquestionably fuging epic.

Not even a top 4 on my PF list. Although groundbreaking, commercially huge and a seminal album for a kid like me at 17 when it came out, radio just beat "Time" and "Money" to death in Southern California.

 But Wish You Were Here, Meddle, Wall and Animals are my top 4; and they interchange where on that list depending on where I'm at musically/mentally on any given day. Hell, I didn't sit down with my Koss Pro IV-X headphones and critically and appreciatively listen to it until the 90s. One cannot "get" PF unless they listen to an entire release, front to back, in order.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
