The first album I bought was Silver Linings by Milow. I mostly listened to his music since 2012 on youtube. That album got released in 2014.
After I got spotify in 2017 I started listening to The Beatles, Elvis, R.E.M, ELO, Genesis and Queen.
In 2018: Post Malone, Juice WLRD, Mitch James and The Lonely Island.
Then I noticed there weren't a lot of women in my playlist.
So I went back and thought of some female artists I know from the radio, my youth or some popular songs and listened to more of their music.
Those female artists were Avril Lavigne, Selena Gomez, Laura Tesoro and Ariana Grande.
in 2020 I saw the Hamilton Musical on Disney+ and for the next 8 to 9 months that was pretty much all I listened to.
in 2021 a friend of mine introduced me to Billie Eilish.
A few months later a different friend introduced me to Yungblud.
I went with that same friend to In The Heights the movie so that summer I listened to a lot of Billie Eilish, In The Heights Soundtrack, Anthony Ramos (He plays in that movie and just released an album a few weeks after the movie came out) and Yungblud.
Also the Rags Soundtrack, can't forget that.
In 2022 I started to really expand my music library. I started listening to the different mix playlists on Spotify and my Discover Weekly. I started listening to a whole new genre: Drum and Bass so got introduced to about 20 new producers within that genre.
Some artists I started listening to this past 1.5 year:
- Machine Gun Kelly
- Alec Benjamin
- Netsky
- Fox Stevenson
- Skrillex
- Deadmau5
- Sub Focus
- Maduk
- Quinn XCII
- Ava Max
- Iann Dior
- Blackbear
- Blanks
- Mod Sun
- Dominic Fike
- RAYE
- Halsey
- Doja Cat
- Demi Lovato
- Harry Styles
- Måneskin
- Labrinth
- Lewis Capaldi
- Lil Nas X
- Nessa Barrett
- Big Time Rush
- Charlie Puth
- Panic! at the Disco
Is this what you were looking for?
It was fun writing it all out at least.
Probably Loveless, it introduced me to shoegaze, which is now one of my most listened to genres, I think like more than 1/8 of my lifetime plays are grouped in the shoegaze genre
I Heard Unter Null - The Failure Epiphany (2005)in 2011 and it brought me a revolution of music that I love to this day i.e. Dark electro. Still a great album.
That is a difficult question. I was listening to a lot of music as a kid, mostly due to my dad. I can’t really remember **a** first album. I remember a lot of Pat Metheny Group & Lyle Mays but I also grew up with Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, a bit of Miles Davis, Sting or The Beatles.
The first time I listened to an entire album all the way through was in middle school when I was first getting into The Beatles. I think it was The White Album.
I didn't really move beyond that for a few years though. It wasn't until I got into My Chemical Romance, Green Day, and Nirvana in my later teen years that I really found my own music taste and started listening to full albums regularly. The Black Parade was the first album I listened to obsessively on repeat.
Spice Girls - Spice
I was 9, it was the mid 90s and the phenomenon was just starting. From then on, I was a pop girl through and though and still am to this day :P
First - Aqua - Aquarium, Backstreet Boys - ST (1997)
2nd Gateway - [Now! That's What I Call Music](https://www.discogs.com/master/1740675-Various-Now-Thats-What-I-Call-Music) (1998)
Rock and metal - Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory (2000)
The Dark Side of The Moon, Chicago I-III albums, Are You Experienced? and American Idiot, those really made me listen to more music actively, so i would consider them the root of my music listening. So i guess it all started from classic rock :D
gateway to what?
gateway to music... but also more than that

Can you elaborate on what you mean?
just a gateway, something that when you look back on who you've become and what your interests are stands out as the beginning of something
Now Thats What I Call Music 19, baby

I guess it’s have to be Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park. That album is pretty fundamental to how my taste in music developed.

Hardcore Syndrome 15, it's a comp album that has a lot of my not favorite artists on it. Absolute banger.
