Growing up, it was country music that my parents listened to. I started with the outlaws, Waylon & Willie and Johnny Cash. Then I moved into the KISS stage back in the early 70's. But all of that ended with an album many have already referenced:
Darkside of the Moon
Two things got me: the tom-toms on the Time intro, and Brain Damage/Eclipse. The beauty of the lyrics and the passion of the music have melded into a seamless thing of joy for me.
That chance listening has led to a 30 plus year infatuation with Pink Floyd, as well as a rather large (and growing) collectible collection. Have seen the Floyd, and have seen the solo acts. My life is complete.
