When did you quit hearing music...

[trotski]

...and really start listening?

For me, it was in college. I had my phones on one night in my dorm room, and i was listening to Jimi Hendrix/Are you Experienced? And I began to hear things I had never heard before, and that was when I realized what Jimi did with the guitar was not expanding the boundaries, he was obliteraing them. Completely opened my eyes.

So my questions to music-loving 00tiots:
(I'll start)
A)Who was the artist that opened your eyes? (Hendrix)
B)Album (AYE?)
C)Song (Third Stone from the Sun)
D) How old were you? (18)

E) Drug influenced?

A) The Dead
b) Workingmans Dead
c) The whole album
d) 13-14

[Slow Play Ray]

A) Pink Floyd
B) The Wall
C) Comfortably Numb
D) 17
E) Drug-Influenced

Dont remember the specific artist or song. I was given a cassette of pretty standard funk (James Brown, JB's, Fatback, Meters, etc) and got baked and was totally blown away at the music. Up to that point I had listened to rap on the radio (late 80's-early 90's), so I was hearing the beats that had been sampled by Pete Rock, Large Proffessor, et al.

This was freshman year of high school. Still love funk and soul and hip hop and appreciate the syncretic nature of the genres.
