can't wake up
Definitely the King of Fighters 98 soundtrack.
Cuckoo Daddy Long-legs
I was gonna put it in, but felt that it was getting too long. Loved that album tho. I got in trouble in elementary school because I brought the tape in for a Christmas party as "Christmas music". My ass got stone cold busted lol.Originally Posted by Josh

Yeah Changeling I was deep into Dr D the same way. I taped it every weekend and had dozens and dozens of show tapes. Then I'd make my greatest hits mixes too. It got a bit laborious when I decided that I had too many doubles of some songs so then I'd stop recording, rewind and try to cue up while also trying to outrun the beginning of the next song. I love that man and still have some of his records. One of which has this song which I love sooooooo much:
Dr Demento started to simmer down after a year or two and then I heard this song while doing yard work with my parents in 1985 and that changed everything in my life. You had to be diligent to be a hip hop fan in Idaho during the 80s! And resilient because the white people didn't like that jungle music very much and would rattle off all sorts of rednecky terms of endearment like "wannabe nigger" and all sorts of other fun stuff.
I went to several folk music festivals as a kid with my hippie parents. It's not a genre I really listen to but those experiences will always be a part of me, the music and the various places across British Columbia, Washington, and Alberta.
The first record I bought myself was Duran Duran's Arena. I liked it but pop music never ended up influencing me as much as rock.
Beatles - Yellow Submarine soundtrack

Music to get laid to.
Outworld Neck Hair
I can't stop laughing. I'm not insulting you, I just find this amazing.
This is some serious disco right here, but it works really well. Thanks for the heads up. Too bad their songs are so short.
Fixed.
Destin < Razor in MvC3
Beatles - Getting better
I had been trying to get out of straight pop-punk rock for a bit when I got to this, but nothing really struck me. This was the first song that really opened me up to some other sounds and such. It was definitely the guitar tone.
David Bowie - Absolutely everything he's done, but more specifically soul love
Easily the most important song I have ever heard in my life. It's the reason I have been playing music for the past 10 years now. It wasn't pop in the way I knew at that age, and it completely blew my mind. Still amazing.
Queen's greatest hits 1 - probably one of my most spun albums for a period of my life.
Deadmau5- The Veldt. This track single handedly opened me up to electronic music. Well, this and MDMA. Perhaps it was more the MDMA.
Syd Barret - The madcap laughs.
Strangely, his style of, sorta strumming a long on this guitar, playing bad, lazy, floating chords and being ok with it, is something I have never been able to shake in my guitar playing.
Claude Debussy - clair de lune
This might be the most beautiful song I have ever heard in my life. It never leaves my phone, ever.
Jacques Brel - Ne me quitte pas
Close second to what was listed above. Discovered Brel because bowie covered him a bunch.
Scott Walker 4
Probably the weakest of the 4 Scott walkers, but this fucker changed the way I sing.
Joni Mitchell - Both sides now (title track)
Incredible, the only female vocalist I have ever adored.
Sting- Quite a bit.
Sting is actually the guy who gave me the courage to write and enjoy things that were completely divorced from rock and pop. I was actually too insecure before him to just enjoy what comes at me that I like and be honest about it.
Check out Mr. Businessman
He bought some wild, wild life
On the way to the stock exchange
He got some wild, wild life
"It's all in the reflexes"
Beat It - Michael Jackson: this was Eddie Van Halen at his absolute best. This guitar solo single handedly inspired me to learn how to play the guitar.
Permanent Waves - Rush: Pretty much anything from Rush up through Moving Pictures but this one is my favorite.
Talking Heads - Remain in Light - this album is just incredible. The Heads are one of my favorite groups and I like a lot of bands with a similar groove.
Toots and the Maytals Greatest Hits - this album opened me up to Reggae
Aquabats - The Fury of the Aquabats - this album opened me up to Ska
The Wrens - The Meadowlands - this album opened me up to the realities of getting older
Black Sabbath - Paranoid - this album opened me up to metal/rock. It really opened the door to so much. I never would have listened to any other metal or even hardcore or anything if it wasn't for this album.
Modest Mouse - Long Drive - this album opened me up to indie rock in college
Wu Tang Clan - 36 Chambers - Like Josh, this is also the first hip hop album that ever clicked with me.
PUSA - II - This album made me realize that pop music is okay and I don't have to be snobby about it.
Daft Punk - Discovery - this album opened me up to electronic music
Q and not U - Opened up the entire Dischord catalog to me.
Champion Jack Dupree - Blues From the Gutter opened me up to old blues and digging through old music all the time. It's why I listen to Billie Holiday and shit.
I was seriously into Emo in high school but I can't remember what band got me into it. I heard Screamo first and couldn't dig that at all (at first) but someone got me into it.
I didn't really expand my musical horizons until college. My parents had a great vinyl collection but it was mostly prog rock (Yes, Rush) folky stuff (Paul Simon, Cat Stevens) and stuff like Peter Gabriel, Genesis, and Phil Collins, so I only listened to that and the top 40 radio until we got MTV when we started 8th grade and I watched all the videos. I am very thankful for the internet for giving me an opportunity to listen to so much music.
