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.

There's a site that gives you an album a day to listen to and review from the book '1000 albums to listen to before you die'. One day I got an Abba album and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It had a surprisingly dense, dream-like production to it. I expected simplistic pop but was surprised by how well structured and layered it was.

I just found this one, in case anyone is interested.
Yep, that's the one I used. Fantastic site.
Just signed up here and already digging the first album, thanks for this!
People shit on Dancing Queen because of its ubiquity, but that track is an absolute masterclass in how to write a beloved three minute pop song. Benny & Bjorn know their shit.
