I'd say SP was definitely a game changer for me. Someone asked the other day who my favorite bands were in order and I kind of struggled whether I should still be putting SP at the top for sentimental purposes.

I got into SP in 95. I was in eighth grade and my cousin a couple years older was super into them so I was vaguely familiar with siamese dream. Back then I think it helped that i was so tangible. MCIS was had such amazing packaging and so did TAFH. The music was great, but you also didn't have access to any song at any moment, so when you paid 24.99 for a cd you damn well revisited the album quite a bit. SP was really the first band I took a deep dive on.

I think today intro was the first snippet of something I learned on guitar (along with come as you are riff). If i sit and play guitar long enough I will always end up playing and SP song at some point.
