Reply to When music stores were way more prominent, did you ever just ask an employee for a random recommendation that ended up blowing your mind? What did they recommend? by duomtl

I was mainly a heavy metal kid in the late eighties early nineties and would buy anything and everything they came out, so I was at the record store constantly. Guy that worked there handed me a tape on day and said that it wasn’t my style but to give it a listen, he said that they were a great band but it was going to be the only album since the lead singer had passed away, and that’s how I discovered my favorite band of all time - Mother Love Bone. A year later he gives me a bootleg copy of a tape by some of the former band members who were now calling themselves “Mookie Blaylock” which would then turn into Pearl Jam.
