Hope that title made sense...
Interested in hearing about albums that you were confident in not liking through the initial couple of listens and now ironically, they have become your favorites.
The new NIN-"Year Zero"-(which I was convinced I would not like after the first couple of listens), whacked me in the head this morning and ive been humming a variety of its songs since.
Other notables:
The Mars Volta-"De-Loused in the Comatorium" (sounded like incomprehensible noise on the first couple of listens)
LCD Soundsystem-"Self-Titled" (flat out annoyed me for months-love it now)
The Dillinger Escape Plan-"Miss Machine" (initially just too much going on-one day it just revealed itself, kinda like the matirx
)
Sade-I know, who wouldnt like Sade? My first girlfriend forced it on me for months when I was 19 and at the time I just wasnt hearing it. It ended up becoming a turning point for me; although not the same genre as Trip Hop it made me more accepting of female singers-which led to Massive Attack, Portishead, Sneaker Pimps and a host of others.
Lastly, I never thought I could get into Romantic Period Classical. Seeing Shostakovich's 5th Symphony at Carnegie Hall changed everything.
