I also grew up in bum**** Montana so access to music was limited. I was a member of the BMG music catalog (remember those?) where you could order like 4-5 CDs for like $20. I'd read their short reviews and order groups I had never heard of. I didn't have internet, cable TV and I didn't listen to the radio. I was just taking orders of CDs by buying their CDs based on genre and comparisons listed in that small writeup. My parents listened to a lot of music from the 60's-70's, but finding something like Punk Rock and Grunge Rock just blew my small little mind. I had never heard something close to that. Nirvana in 5th grade was like that.
