About a month or so ago in the chatroom, I mentioned a band whose music I'd been recently introduced to and that I was really getting quite into.

They've been around for almost 15 years, but they play what would be considered quite heavy industrial-metal type music and it wasn't something that I'd ever been interested in
exploring.
Not to mention that they sang in a language that previously and quite literally made me cringe.

Anyway, a friend sent me one of their videos, I listened to it, liked it, listened to other some of their other stuff and wound up quite enamored with this group.
Those who were in the chatroom that night know who I'm talking about.
The band is called Rammstein.

Well, the point is that it surprised the heck out of and even dismayed me at first, that here I was, this lover of Lightfoot's passionate but gentle ballads, this Jewish girl, somehow completely and I mean completely smitten by these six, headbanging, huge German guys. Its been a few months now, I'm still totally into them and I'm still surprised that I am.
I was wondering, were there any singers or bands that you've liked, loved or even been a bit obsessed with that you never in a million years thought you could get into; The type of artist that when you mention them to your friends and family, they reply with a startled..."You like them?!"
