THIS. Although I did know MBDTF.
This board put me onto Beck, Flaming Lips, Radiohead, etc. though.
I spent my entire bank account on Barenaked Ladies' discography before finding this board.

that's basically it, not very interesting though i owe /mu/ a lot since it led me to discover my passion for music. i still kind of hate this place though since a lot of the people on here are only filled with hate and just want others to feel bad
