This and some of the Bill Orcutt albums are really interesting. They're always rewarding to revisit because they tell you something new about guitar.
That said, they're really not easy to listen to.

Years later, still listening to this album. I love The Smiths.

I listened to this when I was a kid on my father's iPod (I had only been listening to Beatles' early albums because they were catchy af).

100% this was a turning point for young me. i'd grown up on electronic classics like Kraftwerk and Depeche Mode and hearing super saturated and "extreme" electronic sounds like this was pretty wild

early beatles > late beatles

Grails - Black Tar Prophecies Vols. 1 - 3
Was a huge part of me branching out into instrumental music. Helped redefine what an album could be for me, and how dark, atmospheric, and searching music could be. I was really young and musically inexperienced, but it still holds up as a great album.

90s Mr bungle made me try different genres outside of rock and metal

No problem. Glad to post and have someone actually check it out for once.

My first Aphex album as a kid; I was already into house/trance stuff but this is the first non-dance electronic album I'd heard

Weird starting point for Aphex.

Had a guy in my drawing class that wore those huge pants that ravers wore. This was in the 90s. I mostly listened to metal, punk, classic rock, little bit of reggae. He also got me into drum & bass and jungle. I'd never heard any of that stuff. I guess FSOL led to me getting into ambient and other stuff later on.

when my older brother showed me this album, it literally kicked me out of my "born in le wrong generation" autism, literally i only listened to The Doors, Beatles, and Led Zeppelin

it was the first band i liked from after 1980 and it led to me discovering Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Animal Collective, and Boards of Canada

Your brother ruined your taste

listening to Death Grips for the first time, there was literally nothing like it. So, Ex-Military and TMS for sure

>>128029154
I like them though nowadays I only ever really listen to the older stuff (Help! the earliest) and solo stuff.

Putting all those prey animals right next to big predators is so cruel. Even if nothing happens, it's terrifying for them. I don't care how good an album is if they think it's ok to abuse animals just for a cover photo it's trash.

nice try OP. DragonForce was my first "favorite" band, so i was actually as far as humanly possible from sonically naive. anything you could throw at me, i at least knew was possible. Dream Theater was the first climactic union of my judgment, and musical mastery that i would say made me debase the art through scrubbing.

my mom picked me up from preschool on a day when the staff had been playing Beatles records.
I ran up to her and shouted "Mom! have you ever heard of the Beatles!?"
I had a babysitter that night and I was in bed but not asleep when mom got home, she'd stopped at the record store and brought home Magical Mystery Tour and Rubber Soul, and went over to my red box record player and put RS on for me.

Aphex Twin was the first artist I got into and served as the turning point for getting into more avant-garde music

this album changed my life

I thought everyone knew this when I listened to it for the first time. Then a year later I figured out most of my friends were into alt stuff like Nirvana and Tool and I was the actual true alternative.

That album opened my eyes to the possibilities of samplers but not music as a whole. Fairly standard when it comes to the very fabric of music itself.

>>128032705
he's using AI for all his album covers now ;(

>>128042361
avant-garde music such as?

I love Cryptograms mixture of ambient music, krautrock and neopsychedelia

>>128028585
This one is not as groundbreaking as revolver but so cozy to enjoy, the vibes of rubber soul are so light, meaningful, easy going and yet auspicious and daring. It has everything but in a somehow cozier way than revolver, with in my opinion being way more cosmic than help and hard day's night, lyric wise they are so fantastic here too~

>>128045992
his music always sounded like proto-AI made

>>128027465 (OP)
As a pre-teen that grew up with nothing but Country, Elvis and Percy Sledge...this blew my mind.

For me it was Strawberry Jam. I never understood the connection between art and sex before really listening to fireworks

“Sweet Pain” and “Flaming Youth” sure are mind-blowing songs for 1976… can’t think of anything more eye-opening than that…
