@curtdr - If you can find it, see if you can hear a live version of 'Dark Side Of the Moon' from the 'Meddle' tour, well before the album came out, and it was called 'Eclipse: A Piece For Assorted Lunatics' - quite different from what was eventually released!
Albums you do not get...a plea for help and understanding
So like most of you (I bet), I listen to tons of music. But there are just some albums I never learned to appreciate. I hope this thread can serve as a teaching tool. I did not get Mingus at first but now he is one of my favorites.
Perhaps ending each post with, "What am I missing?" would be a good idea.
I will start with Graceland by Paul Simon. Most of my friends call me crazy (still after all these years...OUCH that was bad) but I never desire to listen to this record. I get the African influence and rhythm but it just does not impress me. Alternatively when Peter Gabriel did the African influence thing I found it stunningly good. Paul Simon as a musician impresses me in his other works. What am I missing?

For those who want to get Steely Dan but don't, I recommend FM (No Static at All) It didn't appear on any of their albums but shows up on the compilations. FM was a 1978 film where Martin Mull in my opinion stole the move. Fun movie, great soundtrack and a great representation of what Steely Dan is all about.
