Totally by accident, actually. For my 8th birthday I got my first ever CD player from my parents. They also tipped off various relatives that CDs might be a really good idea this year, so among my haul, I ended up with three copies of HIStory. I listened to disc 1 over and over and over again, and thus began my obsession. (I was actually convinced for several years that the second disc was broken, because of the way Scream opens). | |

Brendan said: thekidsgirl said: It's corny but, when I was in like 8th grade (1998) my then best friend Rachel had just started listening to modern rock music as well as the usual R&B/hip-hop/pop and she was the first black person I knew that was digging what my other friends had always called "white music"
I always credit her for opening my mind to the big wide world of music, and diversity and the two albums we'd always be jamming to were Garbage's Version 2.0 and Incubus' Make Yourself these were like my gateway albums leading me to listen to and appreciate just about every genre out there... Also in 2001 my brother made me a copy of Prince's Hits (1&2) which lead me to my Prince obsession which ultimately brought me here, where I've learned more about music than I could have ever imagined I know what you mean, but expanding one's horizons is never corny to me. yeah, now I just can't understand close-minded individuals at all They miss out on so many good things in the world If you will, so will I | |
