I do agree with you; although I love The Dark Side of the Moon, I do believe it is kinda overrated, when you think of the other Pink Floyd albums. The ones you mention are good examples. I specially like the progressive rock era, including Meddle (Echoes is a masterpiece!) and Atom Heart Mother. Maybe I don't think Dark Side is their best album because it was definately a commercial hit, and we all got to hear it a little too much...

Just my 2 cents...
