The first music I really remember hearing and liking from when I was like 3-4. They included some of the following tracks:
Venus As A Boy — Björk
Never There — Cake
New Age Girl — Dead Eye Dick
Wild Horses — The Sundays
honorable mentions:
One Week — Bare Naked Ladies
Semi-charmed Life — Third Eye Blind
I’ve been getting super into The Bee Gees, Todd Rundgren, Marvin Gaye, etc the last few years. It’s really fun to play them for my mom and hear her talk about how she danced to Fanny (Be Tender With My Love) at her prom etc.
which was mostly her own music ! i genuinely cannot think of an album that got me into music nor knew that was a thing, music has always been so abundant in my life 😭
Oh, you wanted me to do this enormous task in an impossible amount of time? No u didn’t :) I’m actually not gonna do that, and good luck finding someone who will :-)
Especially a smaller conference with your professional and academic peers where everyone else is as passionate about your niche nerdy topic as you are. People will be super cool and supportive and excited to hear what you’ve been up to. And in the best of cases you’ll get to hear good feedback from well established and respected scientists!
