probably not a shocking one, but from the age of about 15-16 I only listened to ITAPOTS and maybe some demos. Never listened to their first one. I now cannot listen to them at all without feeling so fucking bored because I know every fucking note of that album

I was a massive fan of their shit second album when I was 13. I have no idea what possessed me because it’s pretty bland in retrospect

My dad had a tape of this man for some reason. Such classics as:
The problem is, I don’t tend to go off bands. Like, ever. It’s not that I keep listening to them, but I certainly don’t feel like I outgrow them either, and a deep fondness remains.
And THAT is why I get into so many arguments here. All because I retain a lot of affection for the likes of Coldplay, Travis, Starsailor, Athlete, Space etc. etc.
Was a big fan of Starsailor. But I still love their debut.
I’m like ninteyeightytwo, I shit I used to love I still kinda like. I listened to Avril Lavigne’s debut the other day (was obsessed when I was 11) and it was still a laugh.
Actually, yeah, Neutral Milk Hotel. Can’t be arsed anymore. Listened to that album too much too.
Was a teenager at just the right time to think that Tool were the single most important artistic voice in the history of mankind. Recall reading a really long fan-authored blog post about how Lateralus was in fact a puzzle and should be played in a different, Fibonacci-inspired order to appreciate its “true” form.
Think I snapped out of it when I saw them live and realised they were 4 fairly ordinary blokes having a great time being in what was essentially a King Crimson tribute act. Will still listen to, and probably enjoy, the new album.
my sister was quite big into throwing copper but i did get into the distance to here and had the dolphin’s cry single for some reason, absolutely rinsed it.
Was massively into Turin Brakes between the ages of 11 and 13. The Optimist LP was the first album I really loved, and it’s difficult to see why now even though I still think the songs are nice. Won tickets to see them at Rock City in a BBC Radio Nottingham competition and my parents roped my older brother into taking me as I was only 13 and they were terrified I’d get crushed or someone would feed me drugs.
Then they released their second album and I got into Brand New instead.
