Prog will pound it into your head to listen to albums the entire way through

This album was one of the first non hip-hop albums I listened to. Helped me branch out

Styx - Paradise Theater.

Laugh, but Dennis DeYoung is a genius, and James Young is an excellent guitarist. I wish the concept was stronger, but Shaw resisted at every creative turn. Truthfully Shaw's my least favorite member of Styx.

You already posted it, it was the album that made me listen to more full albums. This album is an honorary mention though.

>>72519174
Yes! After I first discovered prog, I would ONLY listen to albums from start to finish -- no single songs. I've since grown out of that habit but nothing beats sitting down and listening to a solid prog album every once in a while. Especially after smoking a bowl or two.

i don't really give a shit about punk music anymore but pic related and funeral by arcade fire started it for me way back when i was in high school. i was on the general discussion board of shoryuken reading some thread about music. i didn't know fuck all about what was going on but downloaded pretty much everything listed because i was an impressionable 14 year old at the time.

pic related is legit the only punk music i can listen, the rest is total trash.

i did not really have much of a taste in music at the time. when i was younger, i had listened to buttpunk i heard in runescape music videos, but hadn't been listening to that for several years by this point. i was a freshman in high school when this came out, and all my friends were talking about it, so i decided to listen to it, and i enjoyed it.
i had already been using 4chan for several years by then, so i clicked on /mu/ to see if there were any threads about chance or the album, and needless to say, it was awful. this was right around when yeezus came out, so to the surprise of no one, the board was shitty and unusable. and to this day, it still hasn't changed!
deleted and reposted so i could actually post the right album

Man Eminem in his hey-day was culturally omnipresent. I think he got a LOT of people into music. Especially considering the pop landscape when he came out, which was mostly very sugary pop. Eminem sounded like nothing else. I feel bad for the high-schoolers here who weren't there. By far the weirdest shit to ever get played on pop radio in my lifetime.

Ya dude honestly, remember the first time I came on here and i was a shitty teenager I had no knowledge of music. I came and posted on here in like 2012?

I'm 21 now and I still look fondly back on me and my friends being obsessed. 4chan's kinda shit now that I'm 21, maybe i'm just an asshole now or it's gotten worse, or maybe it's always been this way and I didn't realise till now.

>>72520623
/pol/ is certainly the main reason why this place is worse, but to be honest there was always a cancerous undercurrent here. The thing was it was previously restricted to /b/. How 4chan worked for most people, and for me, was you started out on /b/ because it's what 4chan was famous for, and you usually started very young (13-16). And then when you got older and the charm of that place wore off you branched out and developed interests like video games or sports or what have you.

NOW what happens is these people do not grow out of the entry-level cancer humor and even worse they bring it to other boards. You think I care about the stuff that happens on /pol/? Of course not. But I care deeply when it starts infecting my two main boards (/sp/ and /mu/). I would love to be a janitor (go ahead and laugh) because I've been here for so long and care about it so much that I want to be part of the solution since obviously our current jannies and mods just don't care about the website. Ok that's my rant.

>>72520649
it wouldn't have happened if you weren't a massive faggot

>>72520626

Looking back I realize most of the content is cheese but by learning about power metal I started listening to bands like Blind Guardian and Helloween. Things went on from there.

>>72520621
It is something I need to quit. Most people here make me angry. Not for musical opinions but for polluting the board with shit that does not need to be on here.

>>72520678
reddit is only a click away

>>72520668
ya you right. but why cuck? how do you know I have a wife and I watch her fuck other dudes? Nu-male makes a bit more since, not much though.

>>72520671
I mean, nothing wrong with Manowar. But it's quite unusual you see a person start to listen metal with such band. It's pretty underground for people outside of metal. Most common is starting with Iron Maiden, Metallica, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, etc.

Congratulations you are now an adult dealing with children. I'm sure they'll all come around eventually but it's just part of being young I suppose. You know what my main thing is? People will go into a thread and say "your taste is shit" or "that album is shit". I'm always wondered, why not just browse the catalog and its hundreds of threads, and find one you like? And then talk about things you like? Why is everyone on this website on a crusade to get upset about something or argue? I appreciate this place attracts depressed people and degenerates, and I'm one of them, but shouldn't this be our escape? I'll never understand the mentality of these types of posters. I just feel bad for them honestly and hope they change when they get older because it's no way to live.

>>72520718
why not just go to the other website and not come to this one?

>>72520747
why doesn't everyone? including yourself? this is not an insult but an actual question. If it's shit why stay? What is the ultimate point?

Embarrassing

>>72520771
because i don't think it's shit. if you do then fucking leave and quit complaining.

>>72520380
Same! thought I find myself questioning why this album made me branch out so much. Honestly, the thing I still find inspiring about this album that I think makes it transcend is the song structure. These songs just have a life to them and they just play out. Plus, I never really listenned to albums all the way through before.

>>72520795
well shit. why do you like it anon? I don't hate this place I think quality has gone down slightly, but I like finding new music. hearing other people's opinions.

Used to watch RCT3 videos that played of Montreal tracks in the background (mostly troll videos) eventually they grew on me so I listened to a few of their singles and then eventually tried Hissing Fauna and it blew my mind. A few months later I went on /mu/ for the first time and listened to Arcade Fire - Funeral and later Radiohead which is where I started.

Abbey Road was the first time i ever really got the idea of an album as anything other than a collection of songs. Everything just felt so perfect together and it all felt like it belonged and not a second was wasted. I wish i could still listen to it with the same wonder and awe that i did then.

Got me into indie when I was 16, and looking back it's the perfect entry level album.

I had three moments that got me interested in music.
First time was Hybrid Theory. Then my interest went away for awhile. Room on Fire brought it back for a couple of months but it went away again eventually. Then I came here for the first time probably the same week The Money Store released. I mainly browsed /o/ before then. The first three albums you guys convinced me to download were TMS, Trout Mask Replica, and ITAOTS. I've had nothing but good times here since then.
Also, is it just me or is the archive fucked? Tried looking for shit I know was there months ago and now they're gone. The website is different too.

Before I had listened to Is This It, I would drone my dad. Listening to it made me go my own way.
But my dad listens to a wide variety of things so I would have been better droning him a little longer because I did not move out of my indie garage rock-britpop comfort zone for 3 years after I discovered the Strokes. And I was probably as obnoxious as a metal head or a hip hop head about it.

When I was a senior in High School we got the option to pay to go on a trip to Italy over spring break with other classmates who were willing to pay for it. I went and because I was a total loner with no one to talk to, I downloaded the first five albums that weren't just Led Zeppelin which got me into increasingly underground, high quality, and experimental music.

Also Discovery and A Rush Of Blood To The Head

Assissi was very comfy. I loved going up the winding streets up to the Church where you'd have that perfect view of the country. Yeah Venice was disappointing but mostly because of the shit-smell.

This was the first album I ever downloaded. This and random Boards of Canada tracks on YouTube completely changed how I thought about music and set me on a very different track than I was initially headed. Before I was listening to Nickelback pretty much exclusively and Eminem tracks my dad would play. There were a couple of years where I'd only listen to IDM, but eventually I'd discover stuff like post-punk that gave me similar vibes

>>72519075
My father and uncle were both stoner hippies back in the day who then turned into metalheads once metal became a thing. So my childhood was filled with everything from Jefferson Airplane to Vanilla Fudge to Sabbath, and that formed the basis of my musical taste. Can't really remember which individual albums I heard first, but it was guaranteed to have been something from the sixties.
