Bands you hated/were opinionless of....

[KRC]

Thrice was a band that I really though were kind of crappy after I heard "Send Me An Angel" by them. Now I've heard a good deal of them and they are awesome.

"All That's Left", "Stare At The Sun", "The Artist In The Ambulance", "To Awake & Avenge The Dead" and "Under A Killing Moon" are all kick ass songs.

Tool.

[Reflecto Is My Favorite Poster]

Semisonic.

I had listened to them during my first CD purchasing time, and was mostly getting the CDs just to keep my level of having "the best CD collection of 1998, years past the fact", but never being really big into them. When my CD collection got stolen, I didn't search the stuff out to repurchase, and turned it into "the best CD collection of 2003."...

...Then during a random search for AMV's, I inadvertantly found on one of the AMVs that a song I had been searching out for basically the last four or so years was done by them (One True Love).

When the smoke cleared, I bought up most of the CDs I could find at reasonable prices (which, when most of them are on clearance at used CD places, is pretty much all of them.)
