THE PIPER AT THE GATES OF DAWN

What can be said about Pink Floyd's masterpiece of a debut? A lot. But most of it has already been said, except it surprises me that this isn't one of their most highly-acclaimed albums. (it's my favorite behind Animals)

It's just so versatile. There's little comedic tunes like The Gnome and then there's the long, drawn-out Interstellar Overdrive, which may be one of the best songs ever made. The scope of it is insane.

If you haven't heard this album and call yourself a Pink Floyd fan, you're just lying to yourself. You know all of those songs in the Roger Waters era that are dedicated to Syd Barrett? How can you enjoy them without hearing some of Syd's very own work? Like this.
