It all went pretty simply, actually. And wasn't even that long ago (early 2008, I presume). Some random research for new music ended up on Daydream Nation. From what I'd read, it looked to me that Sonic Youth was something that I would possibly enjoy pretty much... But nothing could predict my reaction of awe while listening to that middle section of "Silver Rocket" for the first time. That moment was easily the greatest musical epiphany of my life, as it not only was my first contact with what is today my favorite band ever, but also the start of my discovery of a whole bunch of new and more diverse music.
