A strange one for me was Piper At The Gates Of Dawn. I got into Floyd when I was about 18 and started on Meddle instead of the usual DSOTM etc When I then heard piper I was like WTF is this? After listening to the lushness of Gilmour era Floyd I just could'nt dig it. About 8 years ago I randomly put it on and just kept playing it. Now it's 2nd only to the mighty 'Animals' for my favourite Floyd album. It's a truly astonishing album and once you 'get it' you are hooked!
