Music you didn't like at first... but now?


Sometimes, there's a sense of discovery or a kind of magic that doesn't sink in right away. Have you heard something that you changed your mind about and wondered why you didn't get it sooner? What artists/recordings have you experienced this with?

Because of posts here. I re-listened to Jennifer Warrrens Hunter CD on my good system - fabulous. Prior I had only heard it in my car,had not paid very careful attention to it, and had it in my give away pile.
Thanks, CW i haven't tried Facing You, with alot of Jarrett (i know he's great) but the grunting and moaning he does has been an obstacle. Did it ever bug you? Thanks for the link Steuspeed, i probably ought to quit ignoring stuff just because it has vocals on it. Jennifer Warnes... sounds like a tough homework assignment (could be way wrong about this). It was a little surprising to see that Roscoe Beck (Eric Johnson's bass player) is on The Hunter.
This happens all the time but I distinctly remember the first time. It was Bruce Springsteen's, The Wild the Innocent and the E Street Shuffle. I was stationed in Thailand and bought this album. We would sit around the barracks/hut listening to music on those big Sansui or Pioneer speakers. I remember how this album was panned by my buddies and I agreed until I heard it for the maybe the tenth time or so. It blew me away once I got into it. I can still listen to Wild Billy's Circus Story and smile.
C&W. Then I moved to Nashville.

And I started to think, you know, Alan Jackson's not so bad. Tim McGraw's pretty good. Then I discovered Martina McBride. Whoa baby. Fell into, then out of, love with the Dixie Chicks. Then one day I found myself singing along, in my car, at the top of my lungs to Toby Keith's "Whiskey For My Men and Beer For My Horses". I just had to laugh.
For you Jennifer Warnes fans, listen to her lastest release: The Well. It is superior to The Hunter in every aspect.
