Post the singular album you heard when you were younger that shifted you from listening to normie music to listening to "serious" music. Pic related did it for me.

Still is normie music but it's what got the ball rolling.
Daniel Sullivan

For me, it's Talking Heads' seminal 1980 album Remain in Light
Ian Perez
It's amazing how good The Stone Roses s/t is. I Wanna Be Adored, one of the most celebrated songs of the 80s, doesn't come close to cracking my top 5 from the album

very refined taste right now, well-oriented, just need to listen to all the stuff i discovered over the past year now and by the age of 20 i will be so experienced in music listening that it will exceed many 30 year olds

If this isn’t bait then you sound like a huge narcissist
Hunter Russell
being ambitious is equal to narcissism now?

>lists an unneeded explanation of six years of music listening when OP asked for one album
>”I musically exploded”
>”I will advance past most 30 year olds by the age of 20”
>”very refined taste”
This is just cringe man. No one cares

my dad took me to see steve reich play music for 18 musicians when i was like 13 and i got his autograph. was flying around the state for jazz shows by that age too. i was wearing t shirt's from yoshi's in oakland when i was in middle school. (i know that place is wack now)
if i were to talk about my own personal taste, it was hearing inni mer singur vitley singur or whatever in 7th grade, 8th grade was porcupine tree and cage the elephant, 9th grade was fuckin fleet foxes and bon iver.

I listened to the odd Sufjian Stevens song and love the Decemberists as an early teen, but I felt the "switch" go off in my brain when I heard this. Started my love my of acoustic guitar when I heard it.

As a teenager I mostly listened to shit normie emo bands. I read that one of the bands that influenced most of them was Sunny Day Real Estate. After listening to them, I realized that the majority of normie shit is only possible because of lesser known bands that came before them.

This album was a major paradigm shift for me, it was when I discovered that sad/lush/atmospheric music was my shit instead of the 00s pop that was always shoved in my face but I could never appreciate. Also marked the first album I ever listened to where I appreciated the mix to a point where I was finding new details in the music several listens later.
Ethan Long
projection much?
i couldnt give 1 album to represent my musical maturation fully, so i gave the closest approximate to it and then gave some context because why the fuck not
Xavier Walker
When i was like 13 i think i was watching yugioh abridged or someshit and one of the episodes had birdhouse in your soul as the intro so i looked it up on spotify.
This was the first album i actually listened to in-full from start to finish and turned me away from just listening to single songs on youtube over and over. Afterwards i moved on to shit like weezer and gorillaz.
Alexander Long
Juan Parker
absolutely super fucking 100% based. it was this album for me too

I was into some "alternative" music before but this album really move my interest towards less mainstream stuff
Wilson wasn't that big at the time yet and the album barely hit top 40
Asher Evans
Relentlessly based
Jacob Myers
The first couple minutes of a live version of "Thick as a Brick" by Jethro Tull
Luke Lewis
Would've been me if I knew about the album and gave it a shot at the time. It was exactly what I wanted in 2007 but I didn't know that's what I was looking for.

Bought this when I was 12 cus I liked Lazy Eye
Common Reactor changed my change cus of how it ended
Having just a wall of noise lasting over a minute to end an album blew my mind
Was discovering Lush and My Bloody Valentine a couple weeks later because of the internet.
James Smith
*changed my life lol

>Wilson wasn't that big at the time
He was literally at the height of porcupine trees success, they were never bigger when this was released .

Illmatic was the album that made me look towards the underground hip hop scene, particularly on the East. First discovered it when I was 13 and a bit. Before that I never listened to any music in particular, but I was impressed at the dimensional depth of this album considering how young Nas was when he wrote it. Over the following year and a half I explored tonnes of really obscure rap from all over the place, and I’d reccommend anyone else try it too, because the culture as a whole has a lot to give. Don’t listen to hip hop anymore, I’ve been transitioning to mostly black metal but extreme metal as a whole lately, because we all get bored of staying in the same vein at some time. What stopped me going further is that underground hip hop releases can be extremely hard to get your hands on, the only way being to hope someone uploaded it to yt so you can just rip it off there with some dodgey chinese software. 90% of the shit has been out of print for about 20 years at this point, and everyone’s too busy burning Eminem LPs to do anything about it. Finding BM is 5 times easier, and that’s literal: in a year I compiled a collection of about 100 underground hip hop releases, while in a few months 500 BM albums made it in, because the fuckers come at you thick and fast on any platform you use to search.
