Face the MUSIC!!!

Well, you may or may not be shocked that this was the next album I chose to tackle.  Now, keep in mind, this is not a "best album by..." blog by any means but more or less a list of albums that really bowled me over at some point in my life.  Most people would probably think that I'd opt for "Dark Side of the Moon" or maybe "The Wall", and in all fairness both of those will probably end up here at some point, but "Meddle" is the album that really knocked me out when I first heard it AND made me a Pink Floyd fan.
