Expanded my musical tastes
Through the Rewind Button project, I listened to the Top 40 Rock albums of all time, according to Rolling Stone. This project really expanded my musical tastes and helped me develop an appreciation for various artists like Bob Dylan and to learn the story of John Lennon and Yoko Ono.
