It always happens with me. Someone will play me something that I initially despise but end up liking it later on. It happened with Jump, Little Children (who soon became one of my favorite bands) and it just recently happened with Franz Ferdinand. I have avoided their album like the plague after hearing Take Me Out and thinking it was a random collection of riffs and dance beats........ ya, I just bought the Special Edition of it off of iTunes. I also initially hated Razorlight... but they're starting to grow on my too.

Some bands I've hated HATED HHHHHHHAAAAAATED but are now among my favorites:

U2
Jump, Little Children
Travis
Franz Ferdinand
The Killers
Modest Mouse, although I still hate most of their stuff
Sting
Moby
Weezer
The Features, I saw them live and was like "What the hell?" Now I think they're awesome...
The Shins
Ben Folds
Phantom Planet
David Bowie
Starsailor
Radiohead

Pretty much everything in the list there has grown on me. Plus Snow Patrol. Cant think of many others.

Lovedrug
Copeland
Brand New
Damien Rice

The Beatles

Tenacious D and Eminem... Took me a while to like them

And all of Rock music

Angra
Alice Cooper
ELO

These bands are all awesome, I just heard weird things about them so i tried them myself.

Meat Beat Manifesto

[omg small language warnings]

Pearl Jam took a while to grow on me, now they're my favorite band.

Also:
Bruce Springsteen
Gang of Four
Joy Division (more than any other band.. took me a while before i enjoyed them, now they're also one of my favorite bands)

A lot of bands. I can't really tink of all of them.

Let's see....

NOFX
Billt Talent
The Transplants
The Offspring
Boxcar Racer.

Good call on Joy Division. They had to grow on me. Except for the song Love Will Tear Us Apart, I liked that right away. It also took a while for New Order to grow on me.

Same for The Beatles.

I don't think I've heard a single album that was produced by Steve Albini that I actually liked at first. Nirvana's In Utero, The Pixies' Surfer Rosa, and The Breeders' Title TK all had to grow on me.

Wilco

The Streets

Yeah, Love Will Tear Us Apart and Disorder are both songs which took one listen for me to enjoy, but the rest took a while to really love.

Oh, I realized I love Fugazi/Minor Threat so much now that I had forgotten I ever had a hard time listening to some of their stuff. Red Medicine by Fugazi is now without a doubt one of my favorite albums.

Totally agree with The Streets. When I first heard them, it was "WTF? English rap? :confused:". After a while though, I couldn't get enough.

Siddharta.

Minus the Bear.

Radiohead - Couldn't stand them, now my favorite band.

The Beatles - My parents did it to me, and I couldn't thank them enough.

Keane - Didn't really like his voice at first, but one day it clicked.

Muse - Thought they were just okay, until I heard Showbiz.

Explosions In The Sky - Wasn't into them at first, but they are an amazing band.

1 Mile North - Wasn't into the ambiance sound, but they grew on me alot.

Franz Feridand - Never really disliked them, but they grew on me alot as I listened to them.

Modest Mouse - Disliked them at first, but I listned to the whole CD and couldn't stop.

Bruce Springsteen - My dad turned me on to him, good stuff.

The Beach Boys - ^ Same thing


Okay, I'm done.

Oh, The Zutons. Pressure point put me off them, but they've grown on me.

dillinger escape plan

Ones that I never heard of before but liked instantly:
Judas Priest
Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution
The Black Mages

Grew on me:
The Darkness
Guns and Roses
Meatloaf

I have Repeater + 3 Songs, or whatever it's called. I didn't like it, then I lost it. When I found it a year later, I liked it.

My problem with Fugazi is that they have so many albums, it's hard to know which to get.


I'm still not sure if I like the song "It Was Supposed to Be So Easy" though.


Good one. My dad got me into them too. I think they have about three really good albums, and then a lot of crappy songs mixed in with a lot of truely brilliant songs.

You don't have to like every song a band puts out there.

With my favourite bands, I like every song, without exception.

Nightwish - The Carpenter.

Nightwish - The Phantom of the Opera

That's the only song I know. :p

Radiohead. The first thing I heard from them was "Fake Plastic Trees" (which I love now), but at the time, I really didn't get why people said it was so great. I wasn't really into music at the time though, I would listen to the radio on occasion, but that's about it. Now, Radiohead is one of my favorite bands, and I recently bought one of the singles of "Fake Plastic Trees."

I was referring to the fact that while Detty claims he likes all the stuff by his favourite bands, he surely can't say The Carpenter is good. I mean, it's false and all.

In fairness, Nightwish doesn't feature on my top 2 favourite bands, and I haven't heard The Carpenter.

If you Repeater + 3 songs (one of my favorites) get 13 Songs and Red Medecine. After you have those, you'll probably enjoy every other album of theres.

I haven't heard any Nightwish (but I did see the movie, and it was horrible).

Anyway, I'd say that the bands I found hard to adapt to were:

- System of a Down
- Megadeth
- Emerson, Lake, and Palmer

You know one of these days Gothy, your musical interests will extend further than all that rock stuff you love up, and I will personally die of shock :p

Leonard Cohen. Though he's not a band.

I'm currently listening to Mozart.


My condolences.
