In Reply to: Pivotal albums in your musical life? posted by LWR on May 2, 2015 at 08:09:22:
That was my first move to listening to music totally alien to anything my parents had ever heard, and also to my parents hating everything I listened to ..............Kraftwerk - Autobahn - I think I bought ~1976 - totally mesmerising un-pop
The Residents Eskimo - ~1981 - totally un-everything!
Both of these albums gave me patience and some kind of sense of delayed gratification - The ability to enjoy things that were longer than 3 or 4 or 5 minutes! They were both "headphone albums" that had me glued to the lounge for nights on end.
Leadbelly - Library of Congress Recordings - Got it maybe 1982 - Finding some real roots!
Definitely all this stuff served to cement my not very pop taste, that follows on even today.
