I love both. I'd have to agree that Wish You Were Here has superior songs, but Dark Side has phenomenal pacing, progression, and integration. The whole is more than the sum of its parts.
I, too, fall into the 'love both' camp, and agree with the points above. 'Wish' does offer amazing songs, while 'Moon' is an extraordinary example of a whole that is
much more than the sum of it's parts. If, however, the human heart of Pink Floyd was ever made available to the listening public, I would suggest it's in the vinyl grooves of 'Wish You Were Here'. At the end of the day, then, 'Wish' gets my vote.
Now I'm going to hurry over to the 'What made you happy today' thread and post: 'The 'Dark Side' vs 'Wish You Were Here' commentary' in the 'Favourite Album' thread!'
