When was the last time you were surprised by liking a piece of music?

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.

Buena Vista Social Club. It came up on the 1001AlbumsGenerator. It's probably the album I've revisited the most.

Didn't expect to see this, and now I have Chan Chan in my head (and I love it).

Nice. It's a bit different from my usual listening. Plus my Spanish is very very basic.

Another that came up on the generator with a sort of similar vibe was Getz/Gilberto, more light jazz but you might like it (if you don't already know it).
