@Butter- what is one of the biggest/most important experiences with music that you've had in your life?
Hmm... (assuming that's for me) The first time I heard The Adventures of Grandmaster Flash on the Wheels of Steel was a pretty mind blowing experience. Seeing Tony Silver's hip-hop documentary Style Wars was probably the biggest influence on my teenage years.
Discovering Prince's Sign "☮" The Times was a huge deal for me which caused me to then seek out everything else he'd released which, on reflection, may not have been the best idea. However, getting to see him live in 2007 was still pretty bloody amazing.
Purchasing Public Enemy's Yo! Bum Rush the Show was probably the next high point. I just couldn't stop listening to it, at least until Rebel Without A Pause was released which took things to a whole new level.
Radiohead's The Bends has always been extremely important for me, it's release coinciding with a rather messy ending to ill-advised long term relationship.
Having always been a fan of turntablism, my first listen to DJ Shadow's Endtroducing..... was awe inspiring. Compared to the wax-wanking most DJ's indulged in, this was high art!
Then comes BOC's Music Has The Right To Children. What can I say about this that I haven't already said? Only that it works on me in ways that are beyond my comprehension. In the words of The Whispers "It's a love thing".
Beyond recorded music, I'd say Graham Coxon, Beck and The White Stripes are probably the most impressive live acts I've seen. I do recall a pretty spectacular set by Muse at T in The Park but I would say that was probably more to do with the quality of the psilocybin truffles than the band.

@Benpaco, what is the most seafoam green sounding song?
Oh I'm so glad you've not forgotten that, I definitely was just talking to my best friend tonight about how someone on here loves seafoam green too ... haha 😄
Anyways, to answer your question, The World Is Our ________ by This Will Destroy You would probably be my pick, though it depends on the hue of green. Intro by The XX could also be the most seafoam green. _________________
