Turning Points

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Everyone'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?

this decade my turnarounds have come more from reading other people's convincing arguments of why the music they like is good. certainly in the case of a lot of contemporary american pop.

how i got into post-rave house and techno: reading dance mags in the mid 90s. that was quite a 180 turn after a couple of years of listening only to hiphop, pop grunge and jungle.
