What got you into avant-garde and experimental music? (ticket, listening to music)

First I got into alternative/new metal, then Sonic Youth, Tool, A Perfect Circle, then lots of jazz and blues, then Lustmord, Atrium Carceri, Alva Noto, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Desiderii Marginis. And here we are.

I think the album that caught my curiousity and subsequent love for avante garde was probably The VU & Nico. I bought it on a whim from HMV when i was 15 thinking it'd sound like the Beatles. By the time Venus in Furs came on i had to turn it off because my sister was ridiculing me so much. Needless to say i've given her ears a battering over the years following that fateful eve.
