I tried searching for something like this and came up with nothing, if there has been something like this then sorry.

What is your gateway album, include live albums and LWS, also from what album were you a fan.

I've been a fan since Everyday, but my gateway album is lilly white sessions.

I hear space between on VH1 and loved it, and my brother had that album, and lillywhite sessions at the time. So I heard mostly lillywhite sessions, and that's what got me hooked.

Crash back in 9th or 10th grade I believe.

EDIT: Actually I think it was around the time that Crash came out but the album was actually UTTAD. I think my friend got Crash and liked it so he went back and bought UTTAD. He constantly played them in his car (I was 15 and we lived close and were best friends so I was always in his car with him) and I used to bitch about them, I didnt like them at first. Then I actually "listened" to Jimi Thing and I was hooked. Went home and my mom had Crash which she got from the BMG thing and never listened to it, I stole it played the hell out of it.

Dave & Tim Storytellers. They did Crush and it blew my mind. I bought BTCS the next day and my mind was further blown.

UTTAD in the spring of '95. I loved hearing WWYS and Ants on the radio so I went out and bought the CD and that started it all.

My brother had the cassette of Crash and I bought the CD in 4th or 5th grade. Then I went and got UTTAD and the rest in order.

My older brothers friend "mikey" had a copy of r2t that he had picked up on the east coast, i believe when the band was selling them themselves. This guy was a music encyclopedia, he had worked in radio and music stores his whole life. Anyway, he had a copy of remember two things and i heard that ants drum intro and loved it. Really liked #34 too. That must have been 93ish.
