I love discovering bands that I'd never bothered listening to before...a few years ago I watched a documentary about Rush that prompted me to buy some of their albums. Now I am a fan. Especially the older stuff, before they discovered that the threshold knob on a limiter can be set to -60 dB.
I only really
discovered Rush 2 or 3 years ago - I'd always disliked them before that.
I'd always wondered why Voivod, one of my favorite metal bands, wanted to work with producer Terry Brown so badly. Listening to Moving Pictures on the studio monitors helped me understand... All those albums recorded at Morin Heights w/ Brown and engineer Paul Northfield are impeccable.
Too bad that when Voivod finally managed to work with Brown they recorded their worst album...
Nowadays, I don't listen to pop music that much but I'm slowly learning to appreciate Genesis. I think it's great that I have yet to discover albums such as The Lamb Lies Down and Selling England. I feel lucky - ample supplies of awesome music to discover for the rest of my days, no matter what's being released these days.
