When did you first get "hit" by music? (reddthat.com)

Do you remember the first time you really clicked with music? I remember being on a family vacation at 9 or 10, getting some sort of random Beatles "Hits" cassette tape at whatever gas station, and playing it nonstop in my off-brand Walkman. That was the first time I really felt music in my bones, and to this day few things are as exciting as finding a new song to love.

Back then? Probably not. They were very nostalgic to me back then as my family would play their music a lot. Their debut was the first album I decided to rip. Some of the tracks don't age as well, but I still very much enjoy them because of that nostalgia and since then they have had hits that have aged far better - I'd say One for Sorrow was one of the best tracks on there.

FWIW, they were notably popular in their home country while another band like them - S Club 7 - fared better with an American audience.
