Me too...when I bought London Calling (only about a year ago unfortunately, wish I'd found it sooner), I knew that my music taste was changed forever. I loved the album from front to back and listened to it obsessively for a while, and then went on to buy the other Clash albums. I can thank the Clash for getting me into reggae (other than Bob Marley's "Legend"), some ska, along with lots of other punk bands.

And to think, I bought it cause I liked the album cover. I mean, I knew it was supposed to be a great album but I didn't know anything other than Rock the Casbah and Should I Stay, which aren't even on it.

Most recently, The Cure. They got me into post-rock which got me to post-punk, which got me into The Smiths.

as far as i can tell the bulk of 'post' genres are new names for modern examples of old styles by people who don't want to associate themselves with older terms like prog, alternative, or new wave (the initial use of the terms, not the marketing versions).

Post-rock = (often, but not limited to) Film-soundtrackish music like Explosions In The Sky and stuff.

Post-punk = Joy Division, Bunnymen, and arguably The Cure.

As much as I love music, since I have no idea about modern classification of genres, i have no choice but to consider myself a newbie of music.

I don't know what prog is...
