My first exposure to Floyd was when Momentary Lapse of Reason came out in '87 (yeah, not real Floyd in some eyes), in the fall of my 8th grade year. The first time I remember hearing Dark Side was at a friend's place in the 8th grade. His parents were gone for the weekend (pretty trusting considering we were 13) and we raided the liquor cabinet and got drunk off of some awful tasting stuff that had probably not been touched in years. Creme de Menthe and amaretto definitely aren't good straight but I think we were too clueless to attempt to mix them, but it did the job. We just raised hell in by buddy's house getting drunk for the first time listening to a strange mix of Floyd (Dark Side in its entirety, of course), Black Sabbath, Metallica, Anthrax, Zeppelin, and AC/DC (and probably a slew of other random stuff I can't recall), playing air guitar, talking about girls, baseball cards, etc. I'm still a huge Floyd fan to this day.
