poptimistsEveryone's music taste changes and evolves over time. Do you have an album or song that was a 'turning point' for you, musically? Perhaps you've had two or three turning points, or found that the combined power of a handful of songs made you think differently about a whole genre?
Are musical turning points always in the form of "OMG!" revelations? Were yours gradual or sudden?

Date: 2007-06-14 12:32 pm (UTC)My musical tastes have come full circle since I was a nipper - loved rave the first time round, then it was all about the pop, then RAWK, then indie, then techno, then back to pop. There were definitely some 'deciding moments' marking these shifts in focus and they mostly came in the form of albums instead of songs: Rave 92, the NOW series, Nevermind, OK Computer, Selected Ambient Works II. My link back to pop and rnb in 2003 was through individual songs though: blame Justin, Beyoncé and Nelly. My musical compass has been all over the place since then!
