"Welcome, my son
Welcome to the machine"

More power in two lines (particularly in context of that album) than some bands have in their entire careers. Chills me to the bone.

I once had a discussion with a friend of mine where he proposed that Pink Floyd was pretty much the only band in history who exclusively released albums as opposed to collections of songs. I don't know that I agreed with him at the time - I don't think I do now either, especially not after becoming more familiar with Bob Dylan's work - but I can't argue against the idea that they took the idea of the album as far as logically possible.
