my life has never been changed by music because music is boring its just sound, utterly inferior to movies which provide sound and visuals, and games that provide sound, visuals and interaction.

I liked dr worm from tmbg
A long time ago I liked a few of their songs but I never knew it was made by them.

some songs from blink 182. I was 12 or some odd age and my brothers listened to them.

I liked Fred Bear from Ted Nugent but never had an album of them just one of my brothers old cd.

system of a down - toxicity and dont steal this album. First albums I had from a friend. Pretty much lived under a rock and never heard
anything other then shit on radio, lol I liked  mambo number 5 and some stuff by the who.

the pillows- I liked the last dinosaur because of flcl. I would always hear it from the preview of the next episode I believe and thought it sounded good.

radio head- I would go for walks and take pictures. I had everything from them pretty much. Not having anything else to listen to.  But it just stuck with me.
Used to hate it.

daft punk discovery. I seen it in a thread here and never realized how disco music could sound cool.

Nujabes modal soul. I thought hip hop would always sound stupid but this wasnt too bad.

Disco music influenced their sound but they're not disco. They're house/electronica.

since zekey answered seriously enough i think I will too so in no real order:

is probably the first real album I've listened to (around when I was 6) and it brought me to music as well as left an impression towards my taste in faster paced music.

I can't be too specific but

Was most likely the first Residents album I listened to (upon the suggestion of zekey from his Great Animation posts on NG) and it was love at first sight.  The ability to capture emotion and vision and bring it to people's minds so easily has me captivated, and for a while I've been pulling my work past sudden ideas to full peices.


because its just beyond anything out there


(Postcards From Patmos by The Residents)  This brought me back into ambient music recently, back onto stuff like Aphex Twin and the Doom 64 soundtrack (which sounds lame but it was by the guy who brought MIDI to videogames and has made the soundtrack for every Doom up till 3, you can get every one here).


ANYWAYS life changing is way to much to say, like a teenager would know how their life will turn out so much better by another's musical escipades.  Also I can't draw without listening to music so I listen to around 4 hours a day

muse - origin of symmetry:
though i\\\'ve gotten more raw and diverged with my musical tastes, this was sort of the first album i really listened to start to finish as a whole, and really got me into music in general.

the mars volta - frances the mute
armon sent me his tmv \\\'starter pack\\\' about 2 years ago and it contained no songs from frances the mute, but the 3 songs he sent me were so different, considering i had never really listened to songs longer than 6 minutes. I downloaded franes the mute and listened to all of it and the final song cassandra gemini sent me into into an entire new era of musical taste. this was my introduction to experimental/raw music in general.

the mountain goats - all hail west texas:
this entire album is recorded on a fucking boombox with nothing but one guy and an acoustic guitar. i had been listening to the mars volta for so long when i first was sent this by my friend boyd irl and i had no idea something so unproduced and lo-fi could bring out such power.

jawbreaker - 24 hour revenge therapy
i dont really like punk very much, in fact i used to resent the whole genre due to the pretentious "oi oi up the punx" shit i would hear kids talk about, but the lyrics that blake schwarzenbach wrote drew influences from some of my favorite authors such as charles bukowski, jack kerouac and kurt vonnegut. though you can hardly understand what hes saying through the raspy vocals, driving palm-muted, strange chord progressions and bombastic drums, the man has a way with words.

neutral milk hotel - in the aeroplane over the sea
before i had heard the mountain goats, i heard the song two-headed boy and was taken away, nothing acoustic had ever struck much interest in me, but after listening to this whole album i felt refreshed somehow.

m83 - dead cities, red seas & lost ghosts:
this is the only electronic band that has ever been able to really really impress me, and god dayum is it amazing. some of the \\\'biggest\\\' music you\\\'ll ever hear.

drive like jehu - yank crime:
this album is so loud, so powerful and so angry, that it\\\'s hardly even accessible to listen to, especially with it\\\'s not-so-great recording quality, but that\\\'s sort why i cant stop listening to it.

do make say think - you, you\\\'re a history in rust:
i dont like post-rock usually, in fact, almost all post-rock is incredibly stupid and pretentious in my honest opinion, but these guys somehow manage to pull it off incredibly well without the 8 minute \\\'ambience to set mood\\\' bullshit. i had no idea how good tremolo-picked crunchy high guitar could sound over near-bluegrass sounding acoustic guitar and mandolin.

close to the edge - yes:
specifically the title track on the album is fucking amazing, i still marvel at how good it is compared to nearly any progressive-rock epic from the same era.

jethro-tull - thick as a brick
pretty much the only 40 minute song ive ever heard that doesnt go into repetitive pretentious \\\'jams\\\' or drawn out noise. it\\\'s a solid song for the entire duration and thats something that i rarely see.

at the drive-in - in/casino/out
i used to think atdi wasn\\\'t anywhere near as good as tmv, for i had listened to only relationship of command and had no idea what it\\\'s predecessor contained: a full album of relentlessly driving, amazing songs. i honestly think this record is on par with some of tmv\\\'s early work.  




im on adderall and wow i didnt realize how much i just typed

[Jeinu]

ok i don't actually have that many albums i guess i'll just keep this short.

Since I Left You - The Avalanches:
my first real taste of this sort of chill out electronic genre. i guess it sort of changed how i saw other music, since before every time i heard an artist sample a song from somewhere else, i'd consider it lazy and uncreative. yet these guys practically sampled from everywhere, and yet it comes out as some completely new music. very cool.

Endtroducing/The Private Press - DJ Shadow:
introduction to trip-hop. there are some songs in here with some lyrics that sorta gave me a new perspective on things.

um ok this is dorky but it's a classical suite,
The Firebird Suite - Igor Stravinsky:
even if you don't like classical music you might like this. some songs might even sound familiar, but the finale is just one of the greatest endings to a suite i've heard yet. i always get caught up in the songs whenever i hear it. kind of reinforced how much i liked classical chunes. am dork.

reminds me of some french house act

its a decent album but i dont see how it can be life changing. i love mangums lyrics but his voice is fucking horrible

[jebxz]

lenka, bob dylans voice is horrendous, people know this. has he not changed peoples lives?
in the aeroplane over the sea is one of the most discussed, influential albums of the 90s, the fact that you're clearly ASTOUNDED that i would even say such a thing makes me doubtful of your knowledge on this subject. part of the reason i love jeff mangums voice is because it's the sound of an average man singing, not some mastered, completely tuned voice. have you not heard of folk music?
