When was the last time you were surprised by liking a piece of music? (sopuli.xyz)

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?

My taste has been mostly rock, metal and certain kinds of electroic music, but

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.

The jazz covers of Phoenix Wright music, especially The Dark Fragrance of Coffee, got me seeking for more of similar style.

I have never been good at remembering lyrics and often kind of ignore them. I have been surprised multiple times about what songs that I have listened for a while are about when the lyrics finally click in my head.

I enjoy more the sound of the artist and in good music you don't need to understand the words for the emotion to come through.

Like Memories of Dust is one of the most emotional songs even though the lyrics are in [human language]

I really like the name Pinguini Tattici Nuclear. The music is good, but not quite something I would put on my playlist.
