Obscured by Clouds 

A very under-rated, super sweet, Pink Floyd Album.
It's not mentioned much unlike Dark Side of the Moon, The Wall, Wish you were Here....But it should be! Personally, I like this album and Piper at the Gates of Dawn, best. If you're not a true Pink Floyd fan, you have no idea what I'm talking about.[:

truefloydfan: Great, poser. Go to hell.
