A big 180 for me was Sunn0))). My introduction to their music was seeing them open for !!!, and if you're familiar with the upbeat dance punk of !!!, you can probably imagine what an odd pairing it was. I had just gone through a bad breakup and was really in the mood for something energetic and upbeat, not oppressive guitar drones, and as a result I really hated Sunn0))). The weird thing was I kept thinking about them for weeks after the show, eventually bought one of their albums and loved it.
