Works that got you into classical?

Just curious what works got everyone into classical since, unless you've been raised around it, it's not the easiest of genres to get into.

For me, it's Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition. That's probably still my favorite Symphony work. I also really like Tchaikovsky, and Copland. The familiarity of the latter's themes to be before listening played a big part in my recognizing and being able to appreciate his music from the getgo.
