I can't help but scream from the rooftops every chance I get how much this site has helped me, musically. It's practically changed my life. Before discovering BEA a couple years ago I knew a whole lot of classic rock, some great soul from the Motown era, all the best heavy metal bands, Bob Marley, a few good classic country singers, and I liked only a handful of hip hop and jazz albums at best.
The majority of my top 100 contains stuff I saw on here first. But when I look through my collection there are certain ones that I take pride in knowing that if it wasn't for this amazing site, I may have never gave these albums a listen. Some of them have helped me through depression, some have changed my perspective on life, some are just great fun to listen to. Off the top of my head, here's a few...
Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space
Marquee Moon
You're Living All Over Me
Bee Thousand
Illinois
Pink Moon
Red House Painters (Rollercoaster)
Good Kid, Maad City
Agaetis Byrjun
Loveless
Dummy
In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
Plus practically the entire discographies of some of my favorite bands, like Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, Swans and Godspeed You! Black Emperor.
