The First Album that Got You Into All this Stuff? - Page 2

i don't know, i never thought i had an uncool record collection at any point, i think it's a fair balance between utterly brilliant in it's mindblowingness and utterly brilliant in it's ridiculousness.

Nor did I. But looking back, I have to say that I was very, very, VERY deluded. And probably still am!

Everyneurotic · 08.04.2008, 11:48 AM

for every bon jovi album i had, i also had nirvana and megadeth to counterbalance, if it's cred we're talking about.

OK Computer was a pretty big record for a kid like myself growing up in the nineties surrounded my Smashing Pumpkins, Rage Against the Machine, Nirvana and other mainstream alternative. There was more experimentation there which lead me to the Pixies, Sonic Youth, Joy Division, and whatever else since.

Everyneurotic · 08.04.2008, 11:55 AM

ahh, what was the first pseudo-experimental album i got into/bought?

nine inch nails' downward spiral.

In Utero, radio friendly unit shifter just blew my mind. And it still does.

HaydenAsche · 08.04.2008, 12:38 PM

Radiohead.

Rob Instigator · 08.04.2008, 12:42 PM

album please?

acousticrock87 · 08.04.2008, 12:45 PM

I was gonna say Dirty, but now that Hayden and pbradley mention it I think I had OK Computer for a while before that. It just took me a while to enjoy it. I specifically remember not liking either CD until they clicked at about the same time.

gmku · 08.04.2008, 12:45 PM

Sticky Fingers.

I obsessed over getting this one for weeks because I had to save up allowance money, and I had to worry about what my parents would think. The zipper/jeans cover seemed obscenely outrageous to me. This was 1971 and I was barely 16.

Then there was this inner sleeve photo that sealed the deal for me. I was fascinated with it.

The Doors - The Doors
Laurie Anderson - United States Live I-IV
R.E.M. - Fables of the Reconstruction
Sonic Youth - Confusion is Sex
Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense

Not my top five or anything, but these were seminal for myself.

Call me Mr Obvious, but it's another "aye" for Nevermind.

i wish i was enlightened enough when i was younger to appreciate yes.

when i bought nevermind, i thought it was good but not that special, i can't really count it as "woah! it fucked with my perseption of music".

atari 2600 · 08.04.2008, 01:12 PM

Unplugged in New York got me started playing guitar.
