It gave me this moment of realization that all the boundaries and limitations I thought music artists had were pretty much BS and that I should be more open minded. I don't really seek out experimental music but every once in a while I find stuff that really speaks to me. And it feels great.
That's not lame, in fact that's a pretty reasonable entry point as The Beatles are sometimes the very early bands for teenagers to get into, so it would be obvious that it's your first. It's also pretty ahead of its time in some ways, and while other big name bands like The Velvet Underground were doing some strange things at the same time, to hear it from a band like The Beatles, who were always pretty accessible, just shows the variance in music at that time that we don't always see today.
