Doolittle-Pixies. Takes remarkably little getting used to.

Pink Floyd- Dark Side Of The Moon. Nuff said.

Others:
Porcupine Tree- Stupid Dream
Radiohead- OK Computer
The Unicorns- Who Will Cut Our Hair When We're Gone?

Funeral by Arcade Fire.

I'm sure I'm not the only one.

I came in here to say Funeral... In the sense that the first time I heard it I almost cried.

Now it barely affects me. Kind of lost impact.

I must've listened to DSOTM about 20 times, I still can't stand it.

Hmmm... I liked Dark Side Of The Moon better than the Wall.

Best First Time Listen though? Got to be Blood Sugar Sex Magic by the Chillies.
