Black Sabbath
Despite the fact that their debut is one of the earliest records I ever bought (blind purchase based on looks and price), I didn’t REALLY listen to it until a good 18 years later. I remember popping it into my CD player back in the day and immediately pulling it out due to absolute distaste for what I heard. I avoided the name Black Sabbath for years after. I even sold that album before I’d ever listen to it again. Wow, a mistake. I had a very special edition I’ve yet to find again anywhere. And when I finally got around to truly listening to it I found that the album is badass.
Had I really given it a chance back in the day, who knows if I’d ever have gotten into post-hardcore, hardcore, deathcore, metalcore, or a bunch of things.

I have never been a big classic rock/metal fan. When I was getting into heavy music it was through alternative, grunge, and hair metal. So when I went back to shit like Deep Purple, Rainbow, Black Sabbath etc I found it boring and uninspired and wasn’t interested. It wasn’t until I was into my 30’s that I started to garner an appreciation for the classics and really dived into BS’s long and storied catalogue.
