RATM - at the time thought they were politically nieve and preachy, now just like the shear anger
Smashing Pumpkins - at the time, too limp wristed. Now quite well crafted songs

Fugazi - aged 15 thought there was 20 minutes of a good hardcore punk record in their somewhere...aged 18+ the penny dropped!

now just like the shear anger
Translation: Loud and shouty to disguise the fact it's shit...
Siamese Dreams is worth a listen or two, the rest of Billy Corgan's output isn't worth it...

Didn't like & now I like..
Foo Fighters
Blink 182
Metallica
Green DayWho said Duran Duran!? How could you not love them!

Led Zeppelin
(Seriously - I was too wrapped up in Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Motorhead, Queen etc to bother with them as a kid).

Muse.
Taken me a while to get in to them. Oh, and the Super Furry Animals as well. What was I thinking?
Posted 1 year ago # -
It was Fugazi who put me off RATM.
It was like switching from Newsnight to the local socalist worker meeting or possibly from channel four news to live from studio five.

I tend to make a point of not liking any bands at the time, then getting into them in a cool retro kind of way
Posted 1 year ago # -
The Cure, never really liked them until they did ther bit for The Crow soundtrack in '94.
Posted 1 year ago # -
The Carpenters
My mom used to listen to them a lot, i now think they were ok
Posted 1 year ago # -
Pulp and Blur, too busy filling my ears with the shit that was Oasis when britpop came round.
Smashing Pumpkins were always good (well SD and MCATIS), shame on you!

pil, first time round i thought they were s**t
luv em now,
and the dead kennedys, same again
and not a band but....johnny cashPosted 1 year ago # -
+1 for Pil - Heavily into sex pistols aged fifteen, got lent a Pil album, not quite what I was expecting. Now think they are ace.
Foos - I think they have got better with age and I have therefore grown to like the. the video on the plane with DG playing the camp air steward did help convert me I think (although that's a poor choice of words).

El Vino, you grew up in Ireland too?

Bruce Springsteen. Growing up in the 80's all I heard was Born in the Usa. Although I always secretly liked Born to Run. It wasn't until he did the Seeger album that I really took notice. Now have most of his albums.

Agree with Curtis on Springsteen. I thought he was gash until I heard The River. What a fool I was.
Posted 1 year ago # -
OMD and quite a few other eighties bands - too busy being a heavy metal person and thinking all the others were 'pouffy'.
Glad to have grown out of THAT one!
Carpenters were/are ace. Also now really like Linda Ronstadt and her contemporaries...

The Smiths are probably the main band that I just couldn't get into at the time. Kinda like Guiness and olives, you have to let your palate mature to appreciate certain things.

U2*
*No, not really, they are REALLY TERRIBLE as always!
EDIT: who'd have though the 'S' word that ryhmnes with kite wouldn't be in the swear filter!

Muse, they were trying so hard to be like Radiohead on their first album I laughed.
Smashing Pumpkins, the tinny jazz drumming made my ears bleed until I heard it on a decent stereo.

David Bowie. 'left me completely cold at first.
One of the things that makes me feel a bit superior to proper-at-the-time Bowie fans is that you know their opinion is heavily swayed by their nostalgia for the period, their youth etc, so a lot of his 'classic' stuff has no more meaning for me than stuff from the last few albums, so I can enjoy it on its own terms.
(even as a metal fan, I never liked Tin Machine, though)I really, honestly wish I could feel the same way about Led Zep, BTW, but they still look to me like a group of middle-class white guys trying to rip off blues riffs, covering up the joins with volume and affectation.

I hated Nirvana at the time, think they are/were great now.
Wasn't a fan of the Smiths or Stone Roses but love 'em now.
Absolutely hated AC/DC(into punk at the time) but now have every album.Posted 1 year ago # -
I didn't get The Smiths until about 10 minutes before they split up.

shit isn't either.
And whilst I'd agree with how terrible much of U2's output is, I really, really love 'Running to stand still' from Joshua Tree.

Loved Bruce Springsteen since first hearing the River, but it's Nebraska that does it for me. And the version of Thunder Road that opens Live 75-85 is my all time favourite song I reckon.
In fact, it sounds a lot like this....
Thunder Road, just voice, piano & harmonica
Take a few minutes out to understand Bruce Springsteen isn't just Born in the USA.
