Yeah, OK, I guess....DSOTM is one of those records though - songs like Money, Breathe, Us & Them, Time etc...they're all kind of like "Stairway to Heaven" or "Freebird". Maybe I'm jaded, but I just don't really need to hear them again for many years to come (and there are MANY LPs that have sonics that are far superior to DSOTMs). Sorry, just one of those pet peeves.
