I used to absolutely hate Animal Collective and I had a couple close friends who were really into them. I sat down and listened to Sung Tongs like a couple months ago though, and now it's easily one of my top 10 albums of all time.

Suppose I could say Frank Zappa. Albeit I wouldn't say my 'peers' were his fans but rather the world. Early Zappa I was exposed to was just his later 70s, and 80s gimmicky stuff. Stuff like "Don't you Eat that Yellow Snow", and "Vallley Girl". Didn't really discover what he was about until years and years later.

i suppose i could say The Residents also
and it wasn't a "peer", just an electronic friend who was ranting and raving about them only one day 5 years later after his recs did "The Commercial Album" suddenly clicked with me and i've been digging them ever since "Meet the Residents" is awesome as well |

I despised, hated, loathed King Crimson the first time I heard them. My friend let me borrow In the Court and I despised the whole album. But, I had a 30gb iPod with only 6 gigs of music, so I put it on there for the hell of it. I heard '21st Century Schizoid Man' on shuffle one day, and I kinda liked it. After like 20 listens, I convinced myself to listen to the rest of the album, and I absolutely loved it. I would probably have to say King Crimson is probably my favorite band of all time and one of a few I feel in debt to for expanding my musical horizons.

Webb Wilder:
A couple of friends of mine were into him before I was. Wish I had checked his stuff out sooner but I've been making up for lost time. He is one of the very best straight forward rock and rollers I've ever seen live. Modest Mouse: A friend of mine was into them in their pre-major label days. It took me longer to get into them. But like my friend, I much prefer the pre-major label stuff, although the albums on Epic do contain some good songs here and there. Last edited by Drjohnrock; 06-14-2025 at 07:02 PM. |

Good question, not sure I have many though. Some kids at school were into Pink Floyd and I was utterly bored by the music and kinda repulsed by the aesthetic. Later I learned that Pink Floyd had this whole early phase where they were pretty cool, and had this maverick who wrote some really creative songs and even the transitional period between him and what he would become in the 1970s had some very interesting music, including what is one of my favorite songs of all time.
