If you could hear any album again for the first time...

[lionaness813]

...i.e., have no memories of ever hearing that album, and be able to listen to it with an open mind, what release would it be?


I'm thinking of Bruce Springsteen's Born To Run. It stunned me the first time I heard it; each subsequent listen has been more and more disappointing. I could say the same thing about Marquee Moon, for that matter.

 

[shortyskater1800]

Dark Side of the Moon.
At the end after the 1st time I listened to it I was like,I don't know what I've just heard and why, but somehow it made sense...

 

[igginoi]

Daydream Nation

 

[antoinette2190]

I really overplayed this one. A while ago I listened to it a few times a day for two months, and haven't wanted to hear it since.

 

[AuroraGlow]

Nevermind the Bollocks- The Sex Pistols (i rememeber hearing it in the 4th grade and it changed my life)

Hatful of Hollow- The Smiths (my first taste of the smiths, and wow i'll never be the same again)

 

[Ant8]

"Room for Squares" - I used to listen to this everyday but now I skip it quite a few times in my ipod.

 

[nick217bball]

System of a Down - Mezmerize

It is not my favorite album by any means, but I thought it was a great listen, and it's more of a sentimental thing than anything.

 

[My Paper Heart.]

S.C.I.E.N.C.E. by Incubus. I was quite young when I first listened and my brain almost melted. I still love the album to pieces but there's no surprises anymore.

 

[~I wish you could smile~]

I almost chose NMTB, but it's one of maybe five recorRAB that I heard years ago and can still listen to today. I never tire of it.

 

[`A k i n å]

OMG! Ladyface! You were, like, totally my noob!

 

[DeadDrop12]

I'm sorry I abandoned you for a bit. You were guiding me and all that jazz.

 

[quantum02us]

In The Court Of The Crimson King. When I first heard it I was absolutely astounded. Then I overplayed and now...I still love it, but it's not as great as it used to be.

 

[lover_chick93]

Rebel, Sweetheart by The Wallflowers. I loved it the first few times I heard it. Nowadays, I just skip the songs on my MP3 player.

 

[fastman]

I've completely outplayed every Elliott Smith album I own.

 

[140208.x]

I'd say Metallica's Ride the Lightning

First rock album I ever heard.

 

[Amandasaur!]

I wish I could re-live this. I've played it so many times. I remeraber how when I first heard this, I was completely blown away.

 

[clh12967]

Definately 5ives self titled debut. Classic album.

 

[Satan Worships Me]

The Smiths' debut, or the Essential Simon and Garfunkel (with the same circumstances under which I originally heard it).

 

[Amers]

Thats tough but I'll have to go with my copy of "Dins" by Psychic Ills. First listen through was orgasmic almost.

 

[StewartP]

Both of those were incredible on the first listen, still are.
