So, what were the albuns/bands that changed your life, developed your taste in music? Can you name it and give some description about remarkable albuns/bands?
I will try to be succinct. Probably the most important albuns were discovered when I was also discovering music.
Queen - greatest hits
So in my teens, my first love was this album. I really loved the band back then, I still like it a lot today. But back then, this was probably the band that enjoyed most and the first one that made me appreciate music as an art.
Offspring - Smash
Man, this was heavy for the time for me, heavy, fast, melodic and with that feeling of being revolted with mainstrem shit! well, you know that time!lol
This 2 bands and albuns were discovered in the 90´s
Stratovarius - Destiny
Rhapsody - Symphony of Enchanted Lands
First time I heared Stratovarius on the radio it blew me away. The blend of heavy riffs yet very melodic and fast with classical music. I couldnt believe that music like this was being performed. Seriously, it was another level of awesomeness. Later Rhapsody, when I thought that couldnt be any more complex shit and fast. I heared rhapsody, MAN WHAT THE FUCK? My thought by the time was, How on earth can somebody made so much shit playing at the same time? So epic, so huge, so melodramatic, yes also cheesy!ahah Ok, I was still in the 90´s
Evergrey - Recreation day
Man, by this time I was really bored of power metal bands, because as some of you may know, there is a couple of good bands and then millions of them are just copying the hell of the others. So became very boring at some point. Anyway, I found myself bored even with the good ones, there is so much happiness, cheesy moments and above all, most of them started to become really predictable. Well in my point of view, it´s one of the most turn offs of the style. So I needed something different. Here it comes Evergrey, a perfect blend of heavyness with dark melodies with a different kind of singer. Not a annoying one. Till this day I find this album remarkable.
Has a bit of everything that I was looking in a band.
Devin Townsend - Accelerated Evolution
I dindnt even knew nothing about this man, his music or whatever. I just read a good review about this album, so decided to give a shot. Man, I was not prepared for this, seriously. I remember very well that I heard the album when I was in a lunch break from work. From the begining to the end of the album, I felt that I was in some kind of journey to the unknown, lots of feelings. First time that music was given me some different feelings, good ones I must say.
I could go on but I think that this ones were the most important ones, I didnt mentioned some albuns in the electronic realm. I decided to keep this more oriented to rock/metal.
