There was a sweet little Joni moment in the Saturday Globe & Mail again. Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon is turning 30. This album remained on the Bilboard albums chart for 741 weeks ( ! ) beginning March 1973. Other Floyd trivia tidbits: Great Gig in the Sky was voted `Best Song to Make Love To` by Australian radio listeners in 1990 (ya gotta love 'em!) and Clare Tory's classic vocals on that track earned her the princely sum of 30 pounds for her contribution. Now for the Joni content: drummer Nick Mason told an interviewer that he was frankly stumped by the record's enduring popularity, adding `` there's no way this record is stunningly better than 20 or 40 of the great albums of the last two decades. Joni Mitchell's Court and Spark was more to Mason's preference.``
