Pink Floyd’s ‘Dark Side Of The Moon’ is the most life changing song of all time, according to a new poll.

The prog-rocker’s seminal track came out top of a new Radio Two vote with 23-per-cent, easily beating Jeff Buckley’s ‘Hallelujah’ (17-per-cent) and The Beach Boys’ God Only Knows (16-per-cent).

The Floyd’s David Gilmour gushes, "It's fantastic. What can I say except be thrilled. It's a good combination of great music and great lyrics. It's music for people who have a brain as well as a soul, I think.

"The theme that Roger (Waters) tackles so well with his words are universal and they are just as relevant today as they were 33 years ago when it first came out."

Surprisingly, John Lennon’s ‘Imagine’ failed miserably, alongside REM’s ‘Everybody Hurts’.

Radio Two’s Jeremy Vine explains, "Dark Side of the Moon won hands down. People just love it. For its mammoth sense of scale and all the invention, it's still wonderful."
