>Always start with the first album.
Do people really believe this shit?
Yes you can't fully appreciate later masterpieces without having the context of the artists progression
Music should not be formulaic, nor should the listening be.

I listen to music to have fun, not read an artist's autobiography.
>>60358954
>fun
>music
ever
>>60358954
Which is fine then but you won't be getting the full perspective of it. If you don't listen to it to understand and use in your own music it really doesn't matter then just enjoy!

What kind of meme is this?
If you've never heard anything from that artist, why not start at the beginning?
>>60358954
but going through discogs are fun for me

If they have critically acclaimed or a work that has been recommended to you, why wouldn't you start there and then expand?

Listen to them in whatever order you want, but the idea that you need to listen to the most accessible/most popular/best album first is retarded. We've all listened to music before, so we're all aware that the first album isn't going to be representative of the entire discography.

>critical acclaim
shit plebs say thread?

>we're all aware that the first album isn't going to be representative of the entire discography.
But you ARE going to listen to the WHOLE discography anyway, right?
So you start at the beginning and see how they progressed, changed, adapted etc

That's what I mean. If you're aware that there's no need to give up after the first album, you may as well just listen chronologically.
You have to listen to music in chronological order to understand the full narrative of the artist, much like it is shameful to go from Beethoven's Fifth before listening to Beethoven's First.

Because I form my own opinions about music
Fucking pepe mutations
>tfw people are starting to take old memes from The Tourist seriously
I gladly welcome this new age
