I own this too. This is one of the major albums that kick-started the 90s for me, mere months before Nirvana's "Nevermind" came out.

Someone Saved My Life Tonight. It always brings tears to my eyes.

This is the album that paved the way for their classic albums (and yes, I include The Final Cut among them).
My favorite track? FEARLESS! And it's a damn shame I never heard Floyd, Waters, or Gilmour play it live. 😢

When Storm Thorgeson and Aubrey "Po" Powell were brainstorming ideas for the album cover of TDSOTM, Pink Floyd keyboardist Richard Wright put in his two cents. It should be, "Simple, but bold - and dramatic."
An iconic image was born.
