My first impression of Sonic Youth was that they were a Band I Know I'd Love If I Just Explored Them More (BIKILIIJETM)

But then I actually explored them and found that they were a Band I Don't Really Like Despite Being Aesthetically Aligned With Some Of My Tastes (BIDRLDBAAWSOMT)

This reminds me of the time I was reading some old school music mags and they kept using the acronym NWOBHM and I had zero idea what that was about. Took me 3 issues to crack the code.

This was pre-google.

I learned the meaning of this acronym by reading the liner notes to Metallica's Garage Inc. album.

50-ish albums is always going to be a tough thing to tackle, but Ah Um makes the most sense here.

Ah, that's a typical jazz discography -- doesn't scare me in the slightest! Mingus will be my deep dive for 2022. You heard it here first.

Ha! That's an easy one. I'm a huge fan of En Esch.

I own Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!! and I really like it, but besides a couple other random songs of his that I've stumbled across (Breathless, O Children) I haven't dug any deeper for some reason.

Same. Like, almost exactly.

My entry to Cave was the original B Sides and Rarities from 2006. Strange start but turned into a love affair for me.

i buddy of mine at work is always telling me to give leonard cohen a try and how i'd love him. i don't believe this for a second.

Doesn't sound like a great fit for this thread, Chris

i changed my mind mid post, but it was too late to go back

See, I have no problem with this. I know many RM sticklers will cry out "thread integrity!!", but I'm here for the extended and interesting side conversations.

We'll, not to participate, obviously, but I do enjoy reading them.

Skeleton Tree was the album that finally sealed the deal for me on Nick Cave.

Yeah, I particularly love his last 3 albums. Sorry LV, I know you vehemently disagree with my take on this one.
