Genius Poll; if you have an artist you whole-heartedly adore, not a work in their oeuvre you dislike, what was the piece that you first encountered?

Filmmaker, writer, musician, painter, anything.

I like all of Spielberg's film, and Close Encounters of the Third Kind was the first I saw, on a birthday when I *wanted* to see Star Wars, but it has stopped playing already.

I love every song I know by Queen, and I remember getting their greatest hits album as one of my free records in '82.
