I must insist that many music groups mentioned here have brilliant work. But also that many of the individual pieces of music people point out might not really dig into the first-time listener enough to make them listen again. For instance, Wish You Were Here is an alright Floyd song - but I had heard that on the radio since childhood and it has none of the serious upper-level mysticism in songs like Echoes or Dogs. Had I heard either of those I would have fallen in love immediately. That is one of many examples.
