When was the last time you found piece that didn’t match your usual listening habits, but ended up liking it? How did you come accross it?

Fallout introduced me to Billie Holiday
Youtube channel Inside the Score got me started on classical music, like actually listening and enjoying Beethoven, Sibelius and Dvorak and going even to a concert instead of just knowing the bits you can not avoid.

Ok Germany I get it, you guys aren’t square for liking Scorpions, they were the tits. Obs: I had the same realization when I saw a clip from AC/DC playing way back when on the streets and Angus was killing it.
