Are you trying to drive me insane? I know it's a bit cliche, but "Trout Mask Replica" and "The Velvet Underground & Nico" are what got me into Avant-Garde music. I listened to Trout Mask first, but it didn't grab me immediately, but anyway. I can't remember why or when exactly I picked up both records, I think I may have downloaded them on a whim.
Well, I keep going in the other direction in terms of where I want to go, so I'm gonna keep this short. "The Velvet Underground & Nico" is what overall upped my appreciation of Rock & Roll as well as introducing me to new concepts and genres. "Trout Mask Replica" is what wanted me to be as strange as I could be, to play something amazing, but strangely at the same time. I'm just gonna go with "The Velvet Underground & Nico" before I drive myself insane (as it gets played more frequently than Trout Mask).
